Howdy everyone

Brought my Hobie Outback with me all the way from the Gulf Coast 

Just finished my down-rigger setup. Lookin forward to learning some new tricks fishing these frigid waters.

Welcome! Glad you joined up! I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing about your fishing adventures here. There's a lot of options depending on your interests.

It sounds like you're already on the right track and considering the cold water and weather. There is a lot of good safety information on the forum and info on immersion gear.
