first time fishing

Well boys and girls. Yesterday was my first time fishing off the kayak. launched from malibu pier and paddled out just for a nice work out for 20 min. Then i went for the kelp. Been working the kelp for 2 hours or so and nothing. Just once i seen a fish go for the lure almost at the top but never seen it again. Then i went closer to the rocks seen lots of bait. At one point i throw the lure in and bammmmm. The rod bends and i got a fish on the other end. Shortly after i got it in the kayak. It was about 2lb and a little over 12in. but im not sure if it was rockfish or not. Not to take a chance i just kicked i back out. Didnt want to take a chance. Still trying to figure out the rules what i can and cant keep. The DFG site is hard to figure out for a newbe. Over all it was lots of fun. I learned what i didnt like on how i set it up and a few things i would like to do to make it more fun.. Only reason i came back was some real heavy fog that settled down. With in a few min i couldnt see the shore line. I could see the pier only when i came right on top it on the way back. Already planning on my next fishing trip.

Welcome to the site and the sport. Go to a fish tackle store and pick up the latest DFG Regs book. It's nice to have that on hand when fishing, or study up on it. Knowing what you are catching is very important. Keeping the wrong fish could make for a very steap ticket.

Nice thing also is take a picture of what you catch and post it here asking for Fish ID assistance. Believe me someone on this site will know what you caught.

You may want to learn what a Sculpin looks like and be sure not to touch any of it's spines. To a new guy you might mistake it for a common rockfish and end up in a lot of pain.
