East Cape in May - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You should have some decent variety in May. BTW, there's HUGE amberjack on the reef a few hundred yards out. You could also get a shot at some yellowtail, pargo, cabrilla, some yft if they come in a bit early, and even a shot at Wahoo. The only downside I see with May is the very real possibility of high winds. But you're definitely gonna get some fish. Make sure to take some pics and post 'em up.

I was there in May four years ago and caught a great variety of fish from the yak. Everything from look-down pompano to dorado. I would keep an open mind and fish for what's biting at that time, don't get locked into one species, or style of fishing.
