Hi everyone,
I’m kind of new to both kayaking and fishing. A friend took me out about three years ago and I got HOOKED. I hadn’t fished since my teens (more years than I care to mention) so it was all new. That led to shore fishing on the Dead Sea, which y’all know is not very productive. That led to getting my first kayak – and drinking less beer since it is hard to carry a big ol’ cooler on a kayak. But that’s a good thing ‘cause I’ve dropped a few pounds since then. Now there isn’t much I’d rather do than get out on the lake, watch a sunrise and maybe catch a fish or two.
I’ve got a lot to learn and I look forward to reading your posts. I’ll be out there in my big yellow 14-foot kayak. If I see ya I’ll wave… and please watch that wake… at least until summer when it is hot and getting swamped won’t be such a bad thing.

We got a ton of kayak guys on Toona. I have the upmost respect for you guys getting out there in the small boats in the winter LOL... Good luck out there. Lots of rivers to fish as well.

Welcome to the post and good luck out there in a yak. I don't think I would have the nerve when the boat traffic gets heavy.......Be careful!

Word of advice to new yakkers. ALWAYS tie your paddle to your boat if there is any current present at all. Also its a good idea to never get farther from the bank than can swim if your kayak is not a sit on top.
I also use a craftsman zipper tool bag for all my tackle and tie it down too....it has saved my tackle from walkin the plank several times.....but then again i get bored and like to challenge my yakkin skills.
