Hello from a newbie
Just wanted to say hello. I just joined this group and I am a newbie in every sense of the word. Not just to the group, I have never fished from or even sat in a kayak before. I was invited to join this group and register for the upcoming tournament in April. I'm sure I'll be easy to spot should you see me on the water. If you see someone that looks like they are doing this for the first time, it's me.

Welcome aboard snipe.
you may wish to head down and rent a yak a few times before the tourny just to get the feel of it.

Re: Hello from a newbie
Welcome Snipe Hunter. I haven't been on a good snipe hunt since High School. I would very highly recommend that you sign up for the next available class that "Cast the Flats" offers. They are great people and can hook you up with whatever gear you need. If you don't already have a kayak, check out the local Kayak shops and outfitters around here. They can give you all kinds of useful advice and demo or rent you boats to try out. Whatever you do, once you get out on the water you will love it.

Welcome to the addiction! I haven't used the boat much at all since I got some yaks.

Re: Hello from a newbie
Hey, Snipe Hunter! You found the right place to have a whole lot of fun and gain lots of knowledge about fishing and kayaking.
There will be a bunch of helpful advice, gentle ribbing and, every once in a while, a little "left-handed smoke shifter" diversion tactics.
Welcome to the time of your life!! Look forward to your posts as you learn the ropes with the rest of us.

Re: Hello from a newbie
I appreciate the welcome. The guy that turned me on to this site and the tournament is loaning me a boat to use. I've spent plenty of time in small boats and canoes so getting comfortable in a kayak shouldn't be too bad. For a couple of years I have been contemplating getting a kayak to hunt out of and one of the guys in my office has been wanting to sell his. After giving the loaner kayak a try I might have to work out a deal with the guy at work for his.
