newbie questions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

taggermike · 09-01-2012, 09:11 AM

I fished the OBX in NC for a year and the east coast fishing is crazy different that here in SoCal. LJ is packed in the summer. Thats just how it is. If you are comfortable with surf launches you can ditch LJ and punch out about any where in the county or SoCal. I've launched about every where between south Imperial Beach to carring the yak down the trails in Laguna, and carting the long hell road to Salt Creek. The bays are fun at night and no surf surprises. If youre used to FL then the whole kelp bed experience is going to be strange for you. Places to avoid? The military BS all over SD Bay and know where the MLPA closed areas are. other than that go for it. Mike

Thanks for all of the info. I'll check the bays out next.

Ox, when you get here you can take my trident out anytime you want. I wish I would've brought the outback but I wanted something to use when I go to Mississippi.

Im leaning towards the pa12 at the moment I just hope my knee can handle it
