Just getting interested in this. I don't have any of the equipment I need aside from some rods and crab pots. As the subject line says, I live in Port Townsend but have only been here a year or so. I spent this past summer dragging around a 12' aluminum rowboat that's really too heavy for me. I was watching guys in kayaks dropping crab pots in the bay and they were so much faster and more maneuverable than my old rowboat so I started looking into it. Seems like this would be a perfect fit for me. Launch pretty much anywhere (fairly easily), drop off crab pots, fish for a while--or maybe head to one of the clam beaches that's accessible by boat only. Anyway I have a lot of reading to do here about what to get for a setup and how to be safe doing this. I hope it all comes together before pink season starts up. Seems like that will be a blast.

Hi and welcome. Pt. Townsend is a fun town to visit.

Thumbs up to the Port Townsend Brewery.  Talk Pygmy boats into making a kayak fishing kit! 

Welcome to the insanity of kayak fishing. Your life will never be the same.
