Hello All, Glad to Be Here - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

HatterasCast · 03-30-2012, 08:26 PM

Just wanted to introduce myself.... Im Brian
I've been lurking on the forums here for a few weeks now.... Just got a Stealth 12 from OEX during the Fred Hall show. Should be all setup and ready to get wet by this coming weekend. I have tons of experience fishing the east coast - primarily North Carolina where I lived for a few years. From surf fishing to offshore, I know it well but the east coast style is alot different than the west coast style.... I need to be schooled! Been doing my research, reading books, watching videos, talking to guys at local tackle shops, and reading the posts on here. It seems I found a forum with members that seem close to one another and helpful, like we're all on the same team. Glad to be a part of this. See you guys on the water.

Welcome to the west coast. Looking forward to seeing pics of the big ones you'll be catching soon.

Welcome to BWE where abouts are you located? There is a wealth of info in the old threads. Sounds like you got started on the right foot with OEX, they can answer most of your questions and point you in the right direction.

If you want to catch fish, follow Matt. He's fresh enough to relate to your questions and dilemmas, yet skilled enough to school ya; needless to say, you'd be hard pressed to find better company.
