Just for fun I've added a column for your kayak(s) description so that people can learn to recognize you on the water better. If you want to share which kayak you paddle let me know and I'll update the table.

Welcome Knobby,

I live a couple miles away at most in the Woodstock neighborhood.  I like bass and trout also, but it sounds like we'll have to work on getting you into some of the "bigger fish stuff".

Is Tampa Bay Florida close enough. I just found this site today, this fall we moved to Lafayette from Wasilla AK after 24 years. We will be in FL enjoying the warm weather until April, then we will be working a the KOA in Lincoln City for the summer. I have a camo trident 13. I'm looking forward to doing lots of fishing when I get back to Or. I hope to meet some of you when I get back.
Dave

Welcome Dave,

Sounds like you'll get a lot of ocean time in this summer with your job at the KOA.  Hope I can get out there and join you for some rockfish fishing.

Hey, Brian thanks for the reply. I spent all my teen years working on charter boats out of coos bay. I'm not that familiar with fishing spots on the north coast, so I'll be looking for some info when I get back.
Thanks
Dave

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I ended up driving and grabbing Jim's OK T-11 on Saturday (Thanks Jim!) in not quite harbor buoy mango.  I also finally got around to installing some Yakima bars on the truck canopy and I think I'm ready to roll.  I've been eyeballing the stocking schedules and such late at night, chompin' at the bit.  Hey, I'm ready to learn the bigger fish stuff.

First Posting on a forum ever! I moved to Portland from Dallas, Texas about five years ago. While in Texas I had just started kayak fishing some of the lakes as well as the Gulf. Mainly a fly fisherman, but do have some spinning gear. I have a 13 foot Wilderness System Ride with one rod holder mounted on it (bad placement). Anyhow, I have been looking for a site like this since I moved up here as I am Totally unsure about gear, places, and ways to fish for some of the bigger NW species. On a couple of recon trips to some of the fishing stores I did not feel like they had any idea about kayak fishing (may have just got a few bad associates). Anyhow, I have been reading the posting religiously for the last week and am now really excited to get going again.

So a few questions here, anyone have any opinions about the WS Ride for fishing?

What would be the bare essentials to get started with? Am kinda poor right now and need to be very careful about rushing out to buy all new equipment. Plus, I am getting married in June so most money is going towards that right now.

What species would I have the most success pursuing as a newbie (Least clever or most plentiful fish.)

I work at REI (Downtown) and notice on one of the recent treads that REI in Seattle hosted a kayak fishing presentation. I could make some inquiries about using our meeting space. No Promises but it's worth asking if you'll have interest.
