So what's on you're list so far? Gear I can buy while still being out here. I'm actually anxious to get back out and do some much needed fishing.

You come home in a few weeks so I understand there are 1.9 billion questions you have because your pumped to get after it. Go to OEX when you get back and test drive some yaks before you convince yourself looking through CL or other website that THAT is the one for you. 2nd there are many threads on here in regards to necessary gear starting out, started by guys just like you. 3rd your a lucky dog, you'll be here for the best fishing of the year and I'll be replacing you next weekend!

P.S. I have a Tarpon 120 and love it, don't forfeit your man card to a Hobie

I'm not sure how soon you will actually be back, but Heroes on the Water is hosting it's next event on July 27th. Come on out we have all the gear and multiple kayaks for you to paddle if you don't already have your own by then.

It's a good day to spend on the water, everything is provided for you. If you have any questions shoot me a msg.

Sadly enough I return right around that time frame so I'm hopping that I make it back in time but that's out of my control. I would love to attend this event since I do appreciate all the support so I'm crossing my fingers hopping to make it back on time.

What branch and where are you coming into. If by any chance you're in my area we can maybe meet up and shot the shit a little over some coffee. Hit me up either on here or by PM.
