Paddle Fisherman
I am 30 years old, living in CT. I grew up in a tight knight beach community in Madison CT and the middle of 3 boys. I have been fishing and had a passion beach/ being on the water as long as I can remember.
I started kayak fishing in my early teens, when paddle boards came out I quickly grew very comfortable on them and started strapping a milk crate and my gear up and heading out.
At my age, not many of my friends are willing to partake a 4-6 hour commitment on the water maneuvering a small craft. So, I go solo and it brings me more peace/ joy than just about anything.
Typically fish for stripped bass, and catch and release. Still land some blues and sand sharks on circle hook/ mono, but only use wire leader on blue fish weekend, which is why shark didn’t snap my line immediately.
