New to the site and kayak fishing

Trying to find techniques that will adapt to fishing in the Northeast. I live within an hour drive from Lake Huron and half an hour from Lake St. Clair I have been browsing your site for a few days and have found some interesting posts on rigging of kayaks and am interested in fishing for lake trout and salmon in the big waters. I have a Hobie PA 12 and wondering if this would be suitable for venturing off shore for a few miles, or if I should let them come closer to shore in the fall or spring?

Being that you are new, please don't set your sights on offshore trips just yet. The PA can handle it, but your experience level needs to catch up a little. There are a lot of things you can learn from this site, but search out local guys and learn from them the ins & outs for your area. They'll give you the best advice.

Good luck and tight lines.
