Hi All,
My name is Matt and i'm out of the LA area and completely new to kayak fishing. I'm actually picking up my kayak this weekend from OEX (jackson kraken). If anyone would like to let me tag along some time and show me the ropes, that'd be awesome.

Hey Matt
Welcome to Baytubers
Are you buying from OEX Sunset beach? Andy? The Iceman?
Thats a great start right there make sure he gives you some free advice on fishing
You will now have access to the site so
Just post up when you get ready and want to hit the water, I am sure someone will be out there
and company is almost always welcome

Hey Matt... Welcome! I'm relatively new here as well (just started getting more involved lately) and it's a good group for sure. What part of LA are you in? I'm in the South Bay (Redondo Beach) myself and although not entirely new to kayak fishing, I'm still new to kayak fishing in this area. Enjoy your new Kraken... that's a damn nice boat... I've demo'd it once at OEX and have my eye on it in case I get around to upgrading from my Malibu Stealth. Let us know how you like it!

it does seem that way... it sounds like you're doing it the right way. after 6 years, i've finally gotten to the place where i feel i have TOO MUCH stuff... i'm a bit of a gear hoarder...
