Attempting to Drown myself

I agree to start in the bay. I believe you said that your kayak is only 10 feet long? That would be kind of small to fish in the ocean but then again I have never used a kayak that small maybe it can be done.

A good start would be to practice flipping and then getting back into your kayak.

Also I think you should fish in the bays and lakes first to get your sea legs.

My guess is after a few months to a year you will get a different kayak as everyone does it.

When you are ready to fish in the ocean after some experience then practice surf launches with a bigger kayak.

I want to start fishing the bay. But i want to deal with the biggest waves and the worst possible scenario before i go and do something that should be reletivly easy like floating in the bay

I figured if i can handle some decent size waves then some pretty big Wakes in the bay wont be too bad

ehh, thats a pretty bold move bud. definitely try the bay first. "relatively easy" is pretty relative...bay can get some chop and some waves too. get used to your kayak first. learn how it moves, how you balance in it, fishing from it, do EVERYTHING you can think of to feel absolutely comfortable before tackling the surf. you'll be much better off. if not, tie down and leash everything. good luck!

Not a good idea. Learn how to paddle your kayak in the bay first and then take it in the waves. Why would you take your kayak out in the surf when you don't even know how to paddle it? It's like driving on the freeway when you don't even know how to drive....and your driving stick. It's easy enough if you know how to do it...but if you don't...it might be ugly...

Start in the bay.
