Where in OC are you? Find some other kayakers nearby and it may help get you set up
Didn't realize the British expats on here. I came over when I was 2. Family is from Blackpool, kinda like the Venice Beach of England. Yeah, we aren't the classy Brits. |

here are three pictures of the yak, it is on a trailer parked next to some roses but it gives you an idea about what you are looking at

Welcome.
There are lots of great deals on craigslist. (and some bad ones). You might want to check out OEX Sunset Beach, and even rent some of the models there. Generally I would say if you are looking for good and used and not terribly expensive, you might want to focus on these four brands: Malibu Cobra Ocean Hobie (There are other good brands but these are good brands that have sold a ton of good kayaks in the SoCal market over the years, and there should be a lot of out there for resale). And you probably want to be looking for a model that is particularly designed for fishing. OEX (at least the Mission Bay store in SD) sometimes has sales on "blemished" Malibu kayaks. Which you should also be aware of if you are buying used. A Malibu "BLEM" will be have those letters stamped into the plastic near the stern (starboard side, I think). They should be great kayaks, but don't thinking you are getting a great deal without checking to see if it's a blem.

If you are wanting to fish within the harbors (harbours) and bays only and depending on your size, you might consider these Malibu Mini-X Fish and Dives. These are blems (described in the ad as seconds).
