Just Getting Started
Whatsup everyone! I am just getting serious with kayak fishing, and am really enjoying it. I have fished Torrey Pines recently for calico, and LJ a few times(when i was younger) and am definitely loving it more now that im older and more capable. So here is my question, what is the best way to get started? Essential gear, good beginner kayaks, etc... I'm here to learn as much as possible! One more question, how has LJ been recently? I am thinking about heading out this coming tuesday, and looking for a place to go(if i do go there, would anybody advise against yoyo for yellowtail?). Thanks in advance for the help!Calico_Kayak.jpg

Gear wise, i have all the fishing gear. Fished my whole life but from our boat rather than kayak. As far as kaya specific gear, I have NOTHING...and i mean nothing lol. Borrowing my buddies tandem when we go out. I live and fish regularly in San Diego, so any spots here will do

Check the weather, make sure you know the forecast. Be aware of currents and winds. That being out of the way, there is A LOT of information already available on this forum. There are a lot of options for kayak fishing some are necessities, some are comforts and others are just really helpful modifications. Just to name a few: marine radio Rod Holders fish finder bait tank fish finder gear track (for mounting misc gear. cameras, electronics et's) Anchor Waders for the cold days fish grip game clip / gaff for landing big fish Check out the Share Your Innovations page for a lot of DIY projects you can do at home to save some money. As all things are available for purchase but quickly start to add up.

MOST IMPORTANT
Learn to enter and exit your yak in deep water, should you fall or be tossed out of your kayak you must be able to reenter. And while you are at it, NEVER go yaking without WEARING your life preserver. Unless of course you have a death wish. Tight Lines. YOUR PICTURE SHOWS YOU NOT WEARING YOUR LIFE JACKET. very bad habit.
