Hello from San Diego

Hi everybody. I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been fishing all my life but recently got tired of renting skiffs on Mission and San Diego bay, so I picked up a kayak. I was lucky enough to find a used 2013 Hobie Outback for a good price. I went out today on Mission Bay for about an hour today to test out the new yak. It happend to be slack tide, so I was only able to get 1 bite.

I'm trying to decide between adding a live bait tank or a fish finder plus a few rod holders...any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm looking forward to going out again soon...maybe I'll see some of you guys out there.



Todd

Welcome to the madness!
Fish finder or bait tank? BOTH
Of course if your budget will allow........

If you have to pick one based on your budget I'd go with FF because you can fish plastics, irons, or frozen bait.
BUT..... you can also get a bait tube, they arent expensive at all and then you can have a place to keep your macs alive until you get the funds for a tank with pump.
See ya OTW,
Mike

Welcome to bwe. Get the bait tank first you can always follow someone else who has a fish finder. Wait for March on the fish finder as fred hall show is just around the corner lots of good deals to be had.

Thanks for the warm welcome and advice. I'm leaning towards the bait tank. I've been fishing the bays for a while, so I already have my favorite spots. I've always been good at targeting bass in the bays but would like to start going after halibut...and then maybe la jolla once I get used to the kayak.
