first trip out in the new kayak
 

went out wednesday to get a feel for the new kayak. the sit-in variety is defiantly different from the sit on variety that i've rented but i quickly got used to it. did some trolling around the Alamitos Bay with my trusty mini mackerel swimbaits and a bit of dropshotting with some 6'' Gulp sandworms. got a few bites but i got a little trigger happy on the hookset so the skunk was on. not a bad experience accept for the sunburn

nice! keep at it, and i'm sure you'll get into some!

going to the HB harbor monday
 

thanks man, probably gonna paddle the HB harbor with my girlfriend/fishing buddy on monday morning. gonna try and drift some live bait if i can get my hands on any in the bay.

And so it begins :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

My first kayak fish came in a borrowed sit-in, right off that same beach (at least I think.... Belmont shore?). It was a short halibut caught on a trolled jerk bait on a 3-way swivel, weighted down by a small torpedo sinker.
