Lost in Angling - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

alanw · 06-01-2013, 09:03 PM

I started off fishing near where I would shore fish using the same rigs and same baits/lures. Caught a few fish, just like shore fishing but from my yak. Then I headed out into the kelp and caught a few fish I couldn't reach from shore.

Today I just bought a Tady 45 surface iron and thinking about that yellowtail I'm gonna get someday

I've been out about 7 or 8 times and just learn as I go. Read the forums, watch some youtube videos, ask questions, and spend time on the water. Hopefully once in a while we'll find someone on the water willing to have us as tag-alongs and we can straighten out our learning curves a bit.

I have been out three times. Twice in Redondo Harbor and once in Newport Harbor.

One lonely sardine for three trips. At least my maiden outing was not a skunk.

Even though the fishing was slow I enjoyed the sightseeing and the workout.

Someday I plan to kayak in Catalina. We'll see how that will pan out.
