Apologies for the absence; Gone but not forgotten

[FlyFishinYakr]

It just dawned on me, since moving to NorCal in May, 2017, I neglected to post here!
Hello to all the OG?s, & the new ones I had not yet met, since my departure

MY BAD ! ! !.

AND ESPECIALLY AFTER PICKING UP MY 2020 Outback from Andy @ OEX SSB in September, 2019❗️

HUGE PROPS TO ?ANDY? (mgr OEX SSB) THE TIME SPENT WITH ME OVER THE PHONE THROUGH THE YEARS HELPING ME DECIDE THE BEST KAYAKS FOR ME❗️

The following are pictures of it (2020 Outback) decked out for my first excursion (test float) over on Lake Berryessa in 2019, about 2 weeks after I brought it home.
I have since made some changes (ie. Bird Helix 7 SI/DI, Yakattack BlacPak, SAI rudder upgrade, & a few YakAttack misc. add-ons)

Many apologies, I have taken up with Yak-a-Bass, up here in Northern CA., but I have not forgotten my beginnings here on BWE !

I?m so blessed to be within only a couple hours from (arguably) some of the best bass water west of the Mississippi! I am 1 hour from Clear Lake, and a couple hours from Lake Berryessa, Bullards Bar, Lake Shasta, Lake Oroville, Folsom Lake and the whole of the delta❗️
There are also so many other small lakes around here not known for their bass fishing like the others I have mentioned!

It?s a far cry from all the fun in Ventura, Malibu, Santa Monica/Venice, Redondo beach, Long Beach, and the couple times I made it to La Jolla.
The rockfishing is so much better up here, without as much of the travel distance or time and less than 200’ deep!�� 1/2 mi. Offshore, legal lings and 30”+ are so easy to catch (one day I caught 5 in a few hours before breakfast). I plan on a camping trip up north a couple times during some of the height of the summer and stock up on some bottom fish for the freezer.

I will try to post pictures of fish I?ve caught when possible from my phone (unfortunately my previous GoPro?s have suffered damage and are not longer in working condition).
