Surf Fisher wanting to Yak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Your best bet is to drive out to Orange County OEX, I think the closest is Huntington beach and demo their fishing kayaks in the harbor. They will have the best selection for you to try and they can offer great advise as well. Will be worth the drive!

Once you get the kayak and try the harbor a few times then maybe one of the guys here will take you out for some real fishing.

Thanks for the information. I'll head down there and hopefully get out on the water.

I know this is way out of your way, but Fastlane Sailing in Mission Bay is probably one of the best Hobie retailers out there. Ron (The owner) and his sons are incredibly helpful. Awesome dudes. If you are looking to buy, I highly recommend going to see them.

If you are looking for a good fishing guide to get you up and running, Capt. Wade is fantastic. He spends a lot of time with you before hitting the water to review and talk about equipment and strategy. On the water, he is great about showing you techniques, locations, and what to look for. Wade is also San Diego, but again, VERY worth the drive.

X2. Andy and the guys at OEX will get you set up to test fishing kayaks of all types, makes and models. WARNING...., you will get addicted!

I'm going to head to OEX this week. I'll let everyone know what I end up going with. Then I'll probably ask for some of you experienced guys to take me under your wing for a few trips!
