Hello from Tigard Oregon

Hello fellow kayak anglers. My name is Ken and I am from Tigard. New to kayak fishing but not to kayaking. Had a great adventure last year for a week around the San Juan Islands, out around Manzanita, some local lakes and rivers. I tried Cuda, Coosa, and Eddyline Caribbeans at the Spring Paddle Festival Lake Vancouver. There were no Hobbies, Ocean, or Mirage. I am going to Issaquah next weekend to the Northwest Paddle Festival to try more. I am loving the Carribean 14. Hope to purchase a SOT this month and get fishing. Looking forward to the Oregon Rockfish Classic at Depoe Bay in July. As soon as I get my boat, I hope to hook up with some of you anglers. Good to be with the group!

Welcome to the site and kayak fishing.  In addition to going to the Northwest Paddle Festival, you can demo Ocean Kayaks and Hobies at Next Adventure in Portland. 

Welcome to the group Ken.  There are a handful of us from Tigard here.
