This post is a good one and I believe, all of us, can take something from it, in a profound way. The "sunset" picture is takin' from a perspective that only a kayaker can appreciate, sure you would be able to see the sun go down from the comfort of a nice personal, party type boat, or a beach somewhere, and appreciate it just the same, however, the effort that we all put in to getting the yak ready, preparing the gear, getting the group together, and the paddle out to get a chance to witness this daily "wonder" makes them all that much more beautiful.
A monster YT, or PB halibut, or even a day when you just can't make anything stick, it all seems that much better after all is said and done.
We should all be greatful for the opportunities that we have here on a fairly consistant day to day basis, some of us get out alot,
some of us get out alot in our minds, but the fact remains, we get out and do it, no matter how many times we come back empty handed, or spend hours filleting and packaging our prizes after a 8 hour day of kayak bliss.
If you really stop and think about it, it probably doesn't get much better than this...thank you for the post Darkhorse nice job

Don't you just hate when there is no place to sit in your PA but the top of the backrest on your seat? Josh, impressive is just too big an understatement in describing you.

For now I will just say:
VERY INSPIRATIONAL!

great post as always

i was wondering when you were going to humble us again.
i did get out friday and it was great! work has had me land lock for the last couple months except for a couple runs out in the bay, so this weekend was a real treat.
i know what i did wrong so it wasnt a total loss. still trying and learning

Everytime I see this post: 'Anybody want to help a newbie?'

I think: There's a guy that's going to waste two years doing it wrong. The expertise and coaching you need to get dialed in is there for you at unbelievablly low prices.

Of course you also have to 'just go'. I just went on this particular day and had my 2nd best fishing day ever. Also, for the record, before someone starts yelling at Josh for keeping two many fish, a couple of those are mine that he was carrying because there was an angry sea lion that would have jumped right onto my adventure. Josh was mostly practicing CPR.
