Greetings from the SW Oregon coast!

Hello everyone,  my name is Rick, I live near Coos Bay, and I'm retired law enforcement.  I've been fishing all my life and recently started kayak angling, here on the west coast, after a vacation to Florida where I was introduced to kayak fishing by a friend.  It gives many aspects of fishing a fresh new perspective.  I'd like to get together with others here in my area to fish offshore, bays, lakes, and rivers.  Thanks for accepting me as a member of the group.   Firefly51   

Welcome aboard, Rick!  I live in North Bend. Shoot me a message some time.  I'm always down to fish.
Chris-

Great, I'm looking forward to it!  I've just ordered a Malibu X-Factor and I'm putting together a crate.  I'll let you know as soon as I have it together and we can do a shakedown.  I'm open to any and all advice and suggestions for gear.  Thanks for the response Chris, see you soon. R   

Welcome! I'm down for any excuse for fishing. Let us know when you already?

Welcome Rick, I grew up in Bandon and visit the parents often. Maybe I will see ya down there one of these days.

Dbaum,  I lived in Bandon too. I went to BHS my freshman year.

Right on Ling ling, I'm sure we know a few of the same people. I miss living there but there isn't much options for my career there. We'll hafta plan a trip sometime when the fish are in.

Welcome to the site! Lots of great salty dudes in your area, just be warned it's hard to stop once you get started 

Gentleman, I'm a busy guy who loves adventure fishing and I crave it for MY time. Ill fish anything but I mostly fish to eat & fill the freezer. I've been rigging together an Ocean kayak for fishing for the last 3 years and its a dream come true as it finally is all coming together. Just scored my first Ling Cods the other day & learned a humble experience getting out past the breaks. If anyone wants a fishing buddy that will go to all extremes to make it happen & loves every minute of it, you know where to find me. I'm not much for blogging but I do a lot of reading & exploring through hands on experience.
