Hello my name is Joshua. I have lived in Washington/Oregon for most my life and love the Northwest. Fishing and the outdoors is a huge part of my life. I have been Kayak fishing once with a friend of mine and used one of his kayaks and absolutely fell in love with it. I have recently transitioned out of the Army after 10 years as a medic. I'm trying to get a kayak of my own but unfortunately money is going to be tight for awhile. I'm hoping to be able to get one in the next few months I'm trying to save some money and donate plasma for some extra cash so that I can buy my first kayak. I could use some advice on kayaks I wont have a lot of options but I'm looking for a 3-400 dollar kayak if anyone has any information or guidance I would greatly appreciate it. I hope that soon I can see you on the water.

Welcome to the addiction!
You should check out the Herows on the water events .http://heroesonthewater.org/chapters/northwest-chapter/
 You'll get a chance to try out different yaks, and meet some good guys.

I'm in Olympia, and there are a group of us locally that would be happy to help out.
Good luck!
