New To Forum

[blackflag]

Greetings fellow anglers,

My name is Jay, and I am new to this forum/site. I am sure glad that I have found other anglers interested in the hobby/sport of kayak fishing. I live in Northern MD, upper tributaries of the bay, and close to the local Susquehanna River which is primarily where I do most of my fishing unlike most of you which seem to be fishing south. I have recently began a quest to introduce friends, family and others into the exhilarating, relaxing, education sport of kayak fishing; but for me it is a hobby and absolute, definitive love.

I would be interested in making friends here, fishing pals for going on excursions, competing in tournaments and finding a wife? That last part is merely optional lol.

Anyways, if anyone is up my way give me a shout. I paddle the Jackson Coosa; what a phenomenal yak. Formerly, I am a whitewater paddler with a love for fishing. Maybe it's a destiny. I will be investing in the native mariner propel in the near future for deeper water application, because I can't in my right mind invest in a hobie, too high in price for my taste.

Have a great day to everyone.

Jay

Howdy!

I live in Northern MD as well, Rising Sun specifically, and fish the Susky below the damn all the time for smallies, and occasionally rockfish, though have yet to hook up on any stripers of decent size.

Have only been kayak fishing for a little over a year, but have fished my entire life. Introduced kayaking to a bunch of friends, and am out as much as I can.

Currently depolyed in Afghanistan, but coming to the end of my tour and should be home in a few weeks. Would love to meet up and drown some worms!

Welcome aboard, Jay. Sounds like you already have the addiction. And also, I'd check out both the Hobie and the Propel...very close in price. The propels look like they retail for around $1800 also. But they can paddle backwards. Take that Hobie

Boondock,

Fellow veteran here as well. SOF from 04'-09'. Stay safe brother, wish I could be there. I live in the same town, so we'll have to get together for sure. Let me know when you return. Keep your tube socks high, and grenade pins close.

Welcome aboard. You have found a great group of kayak anglers. Just post when and where you want to fish and I am sure other Anglers in the area and from a far may join you. Also, come to one of the monthly Meet and Greets to meet and fish with other anglers and we often have lunch afterwards. We are actually meeting this Sat in Ocean City for a day of fishing.

You can also sign up to our up coming CBKA Kayak Fishing Tournament for Charity in September. Catch fish and crabs and wins prizes. There is a raffle of goodies provided by our generous sponsors. We have over 60 sponsors this year, so checkout www.cbkainc.com for registration and information along with pictures and videos of past tournaments.

Welcome from another Cecil County kayak fisherman.

[toyomo]

Welcome to the club. I am also new to this site and I live in Cecil county as well. In my case I bought a Hobie outback and yes price is high but as many people told me, depending on the type of fishing you do it is worth it. I have found that to be true. When you're far out there and the wind is high it is nice to be able to use your legs. I think you're right most people on this forum are from further south but im sure there are plenty of lurkers from around this area. Anyways welcome aboard and lets fish some local waters sometime.
