I've done it in my livingston skiff. It's a long ways out there, and once you're at 'the bank' you've really just arrived in a zone of several square miles where fish could be, but usually are not. (Assuming your hoping for Tuna)

The biggest concern is safety. Who is coming to get you if you're in trouble? How are you going to contact them? How will you stay afloat till they get there? How will they see you?

Handheld VHF is not reliable out there unless there's a boat nearby who can relay for you. I have a SPOT emergency beacon and VHF radio.

If you have not done so already I'd suggest you find a friend with a center console skiff and get some experience with offshore fishing before trying it with peddle power. Or do a mothership trip.

TCS hit the nail on the head. Can you get to the 9 on a kayak, yes. Is it safe, no! There is so much good inshore fishing, why risk your life.

I've done some pretty long trips during the summer months, when tuna were close. A few trips around 28-32 miles in total.

A lot of good points made here. Safety being #1.

Also, consider the following, catching a larger tuna 8-12 miles offshore.

If you keep your eyes and ears on the reports, and get enough time on the water, you might be able to luck out and get some exotics much closer in.
