Thanks everyone. I need to build my gear. My first trip will probably be in June sometime. Ill be combing the forum. It doesnt have to be San Diego where I launch from.

Thresher I can guarantee. Mahi and tuna are w/in 10 miles of shore about once every 5 or so years unless you count bonito. Happy paddling.

If he counts bonito, then I'm going to have to count these 15 tuna in my bait tank 😬

^Lol
Coming from TX hes gonna have a rude awakening re water temps.
We get 3-4 months of water above 70F and maybe one month around 75. Well see what happens this September.

Inshore "blue" water is rare. May I introduce you to the bass to keep busy?

Welcome to the land of fruits and nuts where the ground shakes, the women have more plastic in them than a swim bait, and the laws, rules, and regulations will drive you to drink.... However, the weather is great, you can fish year round as long as your not too picky about what's biting, and when the zombie apocalypse happens the zombies will run out of food here the fastest, no brains to eat...

HAHAHA. Yeah, I dont want to blow the forum up with question after question. I usually do a lot of research before I ask and head out. The only reason I say mahi and Tuna is because I see lots of pictures with them. I thought it would be more common to see them because blue water would be in more. Guess I was wrong. I paddled 6 miles a couple of times but usually stay in the the 2-4 range now.
