"Experience" Just doesn't mean paddling and moving from point A to point B and back. It's knowing the area your fishing, the prevailing current and wind. Knowing the current weather conditions, being able to recognize when to call it a day and head back in when the conditions start to turn. Being fit enough to handle extreme weather conditions. Knowing how to re-enter your kayak if you go over.

This winter we have been blessed with overall good weather, easy launches and landings, and great fishing. Hopefully it will stay this way, but if we start to get some weather. Some of guys who just recently started and are fired up about catching rockfish or yellows need to slow your roll. I know it's tough for you to sit back and watch others catch yellows and other things...but for god sakes don't be that guy.

And Silbaugh, you were almost that guy up at county line. Good thing you caught your fish early and came in, otherwise you might of had to get rescued like the other guys.
