Newbie sayin hi - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi all, New here, new to yaks and kayak fishing, but have always enjoyed fishing. Live and grew up fishing in Carlsbad, many a summer day between school years were spent with friends fishing the lagoons and jetties. Stopped when I got older, surfing and girls and cars caught my interest, but now (tuning 30 this August) starting to get back to fishing more, relaxing after work and on the weekends.

Been paddling the lagoons with my friends and have been having a blast! I've decided to buy a kayak, and since fishing and kayaking go hand in hand I'm investing in a good fishing kayak. I'm torn currently between the Tarpon and the Malibu Stealth 12' models, but the Stealth is really calling to me with the massive storage and stability.

I've been a shore-based spinning guy for my whole life, and not really been open ocean fishing except for a few half and 3/4-day cattleboat trips, but I'm really looking forward to paddling around the lagoons and bays, learning all the tricks, and maybe hitting the kelp paddies for some calicos!
