First Ocean Voyage! AR#2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

tsugg · 07-14-2014, 12:34 PM

Well it was my first trip out into the open ocean, and I had a blast! It's so peaceful in a kayak out there. I took my oldest son with me. It was his first time in a kayak and I'm sure he's now hooked on it. My friend the charter capitan gave me some numbers to put me right on the north rock pile of AR#2 out of Oceanside and they were spot on! when the alarm sounded I could see the rocks and a bunch of fish stacked on them. My sons first drop with 4" anchovy Z-man on a 3/8 oz. jig head yielded him a fat sand bass and from then on he was soooo stoked. We had steady fishing from 7:00am until around 10:0am on sand bass, calicos and short halibuts. Almost every drop for him on the Z-man for a couple of hours! As a dad it was great to watch. As you can see it was a picture perfect day out there. The keeper sized halibut is still rather elusive for me but I'm learning a lot so I'll keep hunting for her.

Ain't life grand, nice to see the younger generation getting hooked on dads obsessions. The family that fishes together.............and makes great memories together also eats well. Congratulations you guys have it going on!!!

Getting your son hooked on fishing

...Priceless.

You now have a readily available fishing partner (school & work not withstanding).

Very nice! Must be nice to have a charter captain as a friend. Those conditions look perfect.
