Portland Crew Roll Call

I'm here.  New to yak fishing and still need a boat.  Live in NE, but can see SE from my house.
Looking forward to meeting folks on the water!

Welcome one and all.  Good to see so many new folks checking in.  I'm loving the fish in the blue suit jim-dawg.  I'm especially fond of blue marlin.  Where did you pick him up?

Actually a Striped Marlin, got down in Cabo a few years back.  The fight of my life and personal best to date.  After a 50 minute tug of war I won.  Kind of a bummer, I wanted to catch and release but when the deck hand grabbed the bill I turned to grab a much needed drink of water and when I turned back it was gaffed and clubbed.  It never broke the surface the entire fight and when it was over the captain said if they don't break water within 15 seconds they cut the line.  When I asked him why he said "too much work".  Boy howdy.  An awesome day, 122 boats went out and only one  marlin caught.  I was treated like royalty when we got back to the dock.  Free drinks, free food and if I had been single, well..........

Thanks for clarifying.  Good story.  Hope to see you on the water soon.

Test floating my first yak and re-boarding practice next week.  Am so looking forward to it....

Hoping to be on the water soon.  After much deliberation and rereading many of the posts on the forum I ordered my Outback last week!!  Just waiting for the delivery... Now I will need to learn how to accessorize.  I am looking at every body of water differently now!!

I'm in Sherwood.  Very new to kayaking, though I grew up on the Rogue and spent many days of misspent youth in a Tahiti.  I am looking to hook up with some 'experts' in the next few weeks if you'd have me along.

Don from Beaverton. Just picked up my first Kayak today. Hobie Outback. Will try to get on the water tomorrow.

Welcome! Where you launching tomorrow?

Ben here from Sherwood. Have 2 Outbacks ordered (one for wife) and looking forward to getting back on the fish hunt, this time in a yak.
