I'm just starting with a kayak still trying to figure it out.

I've been a co-angler for a couple years. And became friends with almost all My boaters. I've heard story's from the other co's at the ramp about guys who we're dicks . But I've fished with those guys to . I RESPECT them and there boats and they showed me the same respect. 99% of the boaters are exited to help you learn. Just know that at least half of these guys are trying to get to another level and have put a lot of time in.so you fish where they fish and stay positive.even when your in the middle of the lake with nothing around you or your against the bank with 3 cast for hours.stay in the back 180 and stay positive.the boater knows your in a bad spot and will most likely try to put you on some fish before the day is done. I'm no professional co-anglers and have a lot to learn but personally I make sure I got a SMH set up and a Carolina rig for those long days of live scoping lol. Try to learn and you'll catch some fish. 

Congratulations Brian Barde!! I am a little jealous lol
