My first kayak!! Can't wait!
Been shore fishing for 5 years, and rental skiff fishing and charter boat once a while....
Finally got a kayak rack setup for my car and finally got my first kayak last Sunday, a cobra explorer!! There are 2 harbors I've been fishing many times with skiff and shore, Newport and Dana, i knew Dana point pretty well, since is small. But still not sure where i should launch my kayak in Newport, any suggestion? because there are many private areas in Newport harbor, got kicked out many times... Also i will try to practice my skill only in harbors now, after a while, see if anyone interest go outside of the harbor with me Wish one day i can catch a yellowtail on my kayak in La Jolla kelp... |

We bought our first kayak (two seater) about 3 months ago. I took me 6 months to talk my wife into letting us get this for us and two children. It took me about a week and a half to talk her into getting the second kayak
About 2 months ago I found out about kayak fishing after purchasing 2 kayaks. Turns out the Tarpon 120 I bought myself was a pretty good choice for fishing for the price. Now after some research, I really want an outback, talking the wife into that may take a year tho As to Kayak Fishing, OMG it's one of the funniest things I have done in a long while, I am addicted. I have gone out a least one a week for 2 months straight. La Jolla is a blast, you should check it out. |

welcome aboard!
Im fairly new to this addiction myself but loving every trip out. I live in newport and my choice spot to launch is off m street. Take balboa all the way to the end of the penninsula till the road starts to curve towards the wedge. On your left there is a small public swim area with a dock. Always meet up with other kayak anglers in the early hours there as well. Plus if you chose to purchase bait since its harder to jig up bait inside the harbor, the baitbarge is right there. Shoot me a pm if you would like to meet up some time soon. I go out a few times a week and I'm always open for company.
