Hello

Hey!

Im a long time fisherman that has been watching the kayaks and thinking it would be fun to get into.

I live in Troutdale and work in Sellwood. My plan is to get a yak set up and keep it in our shop at work for some evening trips and to work my way up to some depot bay / pacific city trips !

I spent a fair amount of time white water canoeing with my dad when I was younger but have absolutely zero time in a kayak.

Been lurking here off and on for a while and decided it was time to register... get set up ... and get out on the water!

Thanks for having me 

Welcome to the addiction now you just gotta tos around the idea of what yak you like.

Welcome! Thanks for joining!

Thanks!

I am open to opinions from everyone for a good yak to start out.

Looking to troll for salmon in the Willamette and Columbia and work up to some Ocean fishing as I gain experience. Would also see some lake use in the summers.

I have looked at the WS Tarpon 140 for a new boat but I was thinking of looking for something used to get started.

It seems like the Malibu X-13 that Polyangler has for sale in the classifieds might be a good option. (I am just not sure if I can get up to Lacey for a couple of weeks though). I thought that I might see if somebody has something similar in the Portland area that is similar that they are thinking of parting with???
