Yes, that makes a lot of sense. But my wife will be on the bank reading her nook and making sure I don't do anything ridiculous while I practice. As far as contacting you when I get out to Hagg, I absolutely will and I look forward to it. Thanks for all the great advice.

Roger, Thanks that will save a few bucks.

Roger, I think hull ID is required in Washington as well with the trolling motor. The yak has the Washington registration and hull numbers on it now. So I will have to get it registered here before I use the trolling motor. I will be going on line to purchase invasive species permit. Thanks for...

Playhooky, Thanks for the tips. Both of these sound like they may be a good target for figuring out the PA and some self rescue practice. I have one of the straps that Hobie sells for re-entry so I'll study it a bit before heading out.

Pinstriper, Great advice and absolutely my plan. I just figure why not take a rod or two and a small tackle supply out with me as well as learn a little about the lake while I'm learning the yak. The downrigger is spooled up with braid. Not sure how old it is so I will most likely re-spool it...

Roger, Understood. I lived in Lincoln City for about 2 years before we bought the home in Monmouth. So I did fish Cevils Lake several times from the docks. I happened to be on a dock near the launch when they dumped a truck load of trout. The Ooubacks are nice rigs.

Roger Thanks. Yeah, I have a lot to learn yet concerning the salmon and trout tricks. But I love to fish, really not to particular about species but I have a ton of tackle for Bass so sounds like a good starting point. I have looked at the NWKA forum a little. But it looked like there were...

Well, I'm brand new to the OFF. I live in Monmouth and just picked up a well rigged Hobie PA 14 from a dude up in Washington this past weekend. Yak, trailer, trolling motor set up, down rigger (yes first I've seen on a yak) locator with side imaging (probably take me til the end of the year to...
