Just retired to West Seattle after 30 years of teaching in Missouri.

Grew up in Michigan and fished a ton but then life and kids happen and have not fished in 30 years.

We live 100 yard from the sound so purchased a used Hobie Outback. Looking forward to getting outfitted and embracing an old hobby.

Planning on scouring this forum for advice as I start this adventure. 

Thanks in advance for all the information.

Welcome to the NWKA Kohm1992.  Great forum here to help you out.  Be sure to use the search feature to get a jump start.  Congrats on your retirement.  I have a couple years before I pull the plug.  Want to pick up my retirement toys before the "event".
