Kayak bass angler finally ready to start venturing into other fisheries. I fish out of a Native TitanX at the moment and will be looking to pick up a Native Slayer Max 12.5 for venturing into the salt. Hoping to learn a lot from this forum.

Welcome to NWKA! Lots of great information in these pages and knowledgeable people around here. Hope you check the Safety Forum as you transition to new adventures in the salt: (https://www.northwestkayakanglers.com/index.php?board=40.0)
Have fun!

No stranger to the safety aspect of kayak fishing, but I will definitely check out that forum for more tips from experienced anglers. Thanks!

Tillamook bay is a good place to start for salt water fishing. It lets you get your gear and techniques figured out in a slightly protected environment before jumping in the big blue.

Good to know! I live real close to Puget Sound, so that is likely where I will start. Then will look towards Neah Bay to take small steps towards getting there. I will keep note of Tillamook Bay as I start venturing out.
