Newbie Thread - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

tunaseeker · 07-14-2010, 08:26 PM

Hi all,

I am a newbie (Don't even have a yak yet, hopefully by the end of the month!) to the site and was hoping that the experienced anglers here can post some tips for the newbies that visit. Your wealth of knowledge on the sport and equipment can benefit a new generation of anglers!

Some questions I have are:

1. La Jolla (LJ) seems to be the spot to fish, how about some details on parking, launching, where to fish, any license for the yak?
2. Equipment list
3. Essentials for the water
4. Paddle vs pedal
5. Tackle, the minimum
6. Knot tying
7. Water safety
8. Videos on how to make rigs

It sems as each one of those can be a new post. There is so much to learn.....I really appreciate all of your posts and reading the daily catch. I have read a lot of the fourm here and I am on my way and will hopefully bump into you on the water soon! So far got a Diaww Saltist 40 reel gear ratio 6:4:1 (Thanks to Pat, nice post on Yellow Tail Fishing) and rod 30-60lbs for future Yellow Fin fishing! Any reply is appreciated.
Tight Lines!
