Hi, just found the site and decided to introduce myself. I've been an avid fisherman of both fresh and saltwater, but always from shore or powerboat. Last year I found myself not having the time to fish as often nor as long as in previous years due to my wife and I having our first child, along with being involved with several other hobbies. That was when I decided to buy a kayak. I liked the idea of low maintenance, and easy to sneak out for a couple of hours with it. I live near Middle River and can easily launch the kayak about 200 yards from my doorstep. If I only have 2hrs of free time, I can get in about 1hr 45min of fishing. It's been great, and now I used the kayak more than the powerboat.
I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy fishing from a kayak, or if I'd stick with it, so I picked up a Perception Caster from Dicks on sale at the end of last summer. Seemed like a decent entry level kayak with the most bang for your buck in that price range. So far I've been happy with the purchase, it does it's intended job, but it's definitely a wet ride, and now I see what features are important to me and which ones aren't. I'm now looking at the Feelfree 12' Moken's. My wife has a Feelfree Juntos, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the build quality and ride of that boat. I'd love to hear others opinions of the Mokens if you've paddled one.
I'll fish for whatever's biting, and just enjoy being on the water. Though I mostly fish for bass, crappy, perch, and rockfish.
Seems like a great forum here and a good group of people.
Here's a pic of a crappy from last weekend.
