heading for open water - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jim Sammons has a great class on the basics of kayak fishing in the open ocean, including getting in and out of the surf on your own, safety concerns, where fish might be hiding, techniques, etc. Might be worth a call to him. The wealth of knowledge that he can give you will be money more than well spent!!! And he might even put you on some fish...

.

There is also some Darkhorse guy that supposedly visits these boards now and again, that might know something about fishing in the ocean and be willing to share his knowledge...

All good advise but the one that i cant stress enough is........... Lay your rods flat on the deck just encase you roll while learning. How did one guy put it. Tall rods plus roll over = snaped rods.........

yup, i did that at SaMo. had my rods in the holders, all leashed and snapped a 10ft ML spinner i was going to use just outside the breakers for perch and croaker. sucked. luckily my more expensive and yet shorter (8ft) bait rods were spared.
