Newbie Kayak Question

[ohiwastedmylife]

So I really want to go kayak fishing and my friend has an old school kayak ready to go next weekend. The kayak looks something like this:http://www.playva.com/IMG_2951.jpg

is it possible to go out to LJ in one of those? or even a lagoon / bay for that matter? Been surf fishing for a while and want to go out on the water. He is an ex Navy Seal so a decent swimmer if SHTF. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

I would keep that baby in a bay. That looks like it'd hold a lot of water!

Looks like a canoe to me. It will fill up with water when going thru the surf. Stick to the bays in it and be careful not to flip it or take on water. take a pump with you.

"Back in the day" a guy use to surf by the Huntington Beach Pier in a canoe.......early 70's.... Yeah those were the days....
Dont remember his name but he was awsome..
