Hi. My name is MetroMan...

[MetroMan]

...and I'm an alcoholic.

Hey guys. Some of you may know me from Pier&Surf. I just got a kayak last week...I can't wait to get out and start enjoying this new angle on angling. (I kill me.) While I originally wanted an OK Torque, I came up on a deal that I couldnt pass up. I got a Synergy 14 (used) for $375. Pretty soon I'll be completing the deal with a pfd & paddle and hitting the water. I might not fish the first time out, as I want to become better aquainted with the kayak...we'll see.

Hope to fish with you guys sometime soon.

Welcome aboard, MetroMan. It looks like all the P&S guys whose reports I watched all have kayaks now. Very cool.
