That's awesome! After spending a couple years in your area I grew to love fishing up there. Actually i might have a spot i can show you which i have never tried in a kayak that constantly puts out oversized gators. I went out today in between bonneville and bridge of the gods. 15 boats one kayak (me) only saw one fish landed; a shaker, and not mine.

Good catch and we should get together and do some fishing. I'm still a newb to kayak angling and could use some expertise.

Where did you spend time?I'm used to being around central Oregon where I grew up with so much more lakes rivers creeks with in 30min drive from us.that sounds like a good hole you got.sounds like a plan to me.I have only been in a kayak for a year.I find it a good alternative to not owning a big boat and not having enough boat with my 12' aluminum with a electric motor.I'm up for teaming up to put the hurt on fish.

My wife and I attended cgcc. We stayed with my parents up above Lyle and commuted to the Dalles everyday. Well that's when I wasn't sturgeon fishing the Columbia or chasing summers. I just got my hobie outback and have been out twice now. Neither of which have been with another kayak.

Also, I'm hoping to hit the McNary area soon.

I'm still learning off where I found them before. I can give you a heads up one of these days.with a ranch job its kind of a last minute choice at times.

I hear you.  Good thing is that I can usually take a random vacation day when I want.
