Due to family commitments (wife and Kids) I haven't been able to fish a lot since 2011. Now my kids are a little bigger I finally get time for myself again.

My friend who used to live in Southern CA has been recommending me to get a kayak for fishing as he thinks it's a perfect solution for me.

I am a complete novice to kayak fishing and would like to seek some help. I am still shopping for my first kayak looking around craiglist and facebook marketplace.

If anyone would be kind enough to show me the rope and let me tag along or meet up on their next trip in the orange county area I would greatly appreciate it. I get to learn and make new friends at the same time.

Make new friends and seeking out new adventure is what's fishing about.

Thanks in advance.

There is a lot of info on this forum. My #1 suggestion is to start reading and learn to use the search function well.

A few questions to get your gears turning the right direction....

How are you planning on transporting the kayak?
How are you planning on storing the kayak?
Where are you planning on fishing with this kayak?

All depending on how you answer these three questions is the direction your maiden kayak voyage begins...
