Hi guys. I'm new to this site and was refered here by someone I met by putting an add on craigslist looking for help to get into this sport. I am an avid fisherman of both salt and fresh water but my dream is to break into kayak angling as a full time sport and pastime. I live in Newport Beach and do most of my fishing there and out of Dana Point. I am comfortable on a yak but have not had the opporitunity to test my skills at angling from one. I'm in the market for a yak that will accommodate my needs at the moment and look to pick one up this weekend. The kayak I have in my sights right now is a malibu extreme that has already been modified by the previous owner for ocean fishing. I have read the pros and cons from a ton of online reviews and I feel this one would suit me well. I've read into the safety measures that need to be taken before pursuing this sport and am prepaired to take the plunge. I guess the last thing I need is a good group of guys to go out with since I don't think going it alone is all to wise untill I become a bit more seasoned. I have no problem being the "newb" and paying my dues. I just want to learn and follow my dream. Well.. cheers and bent rods to all......
