Introduction - Beer Me - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Beer Me · 11-10-2013, 06:01 PM

I guess I've lurked long enough...

My name is Lance and have recently moved up to Oxnard, Ca from Riverside. I'm looking to get into yak fishing, as I'm tired of the leers and jeers from renting a spot on the local 3/4 day cattle boats and look forward to the independence and physicality required of a kayak. I have no ocean gear or even a kayak at this time, so I'm biding my time reading this forum and bugging the local kayakers when I see them around the launches. My wife and I are adopting a newborn that is due around the 2nd week of December, so money is a little short right now. I'm fortunate to be real close to the water, so I'll live vicariously through you folks until I'm able to afford the gear needed to get out there.

When I do get started, I'm going to need something to keep my 6'1, 240# svelte self on this side of the water. I'm open to suggestions for starter equipment. Per my username, I like beer. I was fortunate to be stationed in Germany for a bit, and that didn't help the situation.

If anyone is close and ever needs a hand with anything or wouldn't mind letting me pick your brain, feel free to send me a message.

See you around...
