Central Coast Fishing Trip - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Looks like fun! My first day ever ocean kayak fishing was last August at Cambria. It's a short paddle out and right away I caught my first ling, 34". Then I caught a vermillion so large I had to fold it to get it into a 20" milk crate. Second day, on the way out, I met a 20' GWS just cruising by.

After rinsing out my shorts I continued and caught a host of rock fish and a short hali. No "exotics" up there but the bottom fishing is awesome.

Yaa you gotta watch out for those whites. I met some people on the water that showed me a good underwater pinnicle that they called "white shark point" because their diving friend saw a greatwhite down there when he was spear fishing.

Yaa the bottomfishing is amazing and its beautiful. Lings fight hard, not like YT of course, but it's always fun to switch things up and explore new places.

Nice fishing! You might already know this, but just in case, be sure to super glue your swimbaits to your lead heads.

I've heard that but never tried it before. Can you still get the swimbait off the leadhead pretty easily?
