Newbie looking to join up 10/5
Hello. 36 male in rancho bernardo. New to kayaking and haven't fished salt water much but looking to get out this friday (10/5), preferably with some guidance. If I could join up with one or more of you that would be great. I have a coworker I plan to go with eventually but he is busy this friday and I don't want to miss an oppurtunity, especially since I just spent $50 on an annual license and want to get ahead on using it 3+ times. I have a 10 ft. walmart SOT kayak, taken it out on lake once so far. I have also rented Kayak in La Jolla. I mountain bike however my kayak is not pedal one. Might be interested in pedal kayak eventually. I have 12 lb. baitcaster setup and looking to extend collection. I also already have lures, custom crate, PFD, sun protection, tools, lanyards, etc. but looking to pick up anything I am missing.
If not 10/5 maybe some other day this weekend or in future. I have every other friday off. thanks, |

Be prepared to dunk if you have a walmart 10ft yak. Water proof your phone, keys, wallet, and secure everything you dont want to lose in case you dunk.
And I cant stress this enough, but always wear your PFD out on the water. Good luck

will do. I am thinking sd bay fri 530. I was foolishly considering La Jolla this early on but have since reconsidered.

IMO 10 ft kayak is too small for open ocean.

forgive me for asking questions already forum'd elsewhere.
-what are top 3 causes of a "dunk" in 10 ft kayak? -do dunks still happen with larger kayak? -is adding side stabilizers a decent idea? I am just getting into the hobby and it is a bit premature for me to consider larger, expensive kayak. If that means I should stay out of open ocean so be it. But if there is a way to make my 10 ft kayak more capable and get in there with minimal safety risk, I would like to wet my appetite with open ocean. Of course I am already looking at new and used pedal kayaks 11+ ft...but not seriously. I must say hobie 14 ft pro angler is like a freaking ship...could get tired pacing that deck! |
