Hi there just taking a few minutes to introduce myself. I live in San Jose, and I usually target near-shore via surf, kayak or friend's boat, but I'm getting the bug for longe-range fishing. Took a 1.5 day out of San Diego this past summer with one of the local clubs and got the bug. I'll be asking about gear and hopefully posting successful kayak trips in the meantime.

Sounds about right. Welcome aboard.

What do you fish with?
Any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

Welcome Jon.

I'm in West San Jose and Alan is in Saratoga if you have any questions on gear, tackle, rigging,...

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Ask away.  Your questions educate us all.  Bill
It may not be very productive,

What do you fish with?

I'm just building out my gear - I've focused on inshore stuff (calstar700/Penn965, and the like) keeping it simple and small, but am looking to build an offshore inventory slowly

Thanks Bryan, and I'll plan on taking you up on that :) . I've already had Alan tune my Boss270 and replace the handle, along with stringing my first 2speed. I think I enjoyed the conversation as much as the actual service, so I'm nearby and always available to a quick social activity :)
