Thresher in Oceanside - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

That thing looks crazy! I can’t even imagine fighting a fish that size.

I’m thinking of doing basically the same route tomorrow morning - out the harbor and try to paddle down that way and see the Buccaneer pipe action. I’m not very experienced, so anyone’s advice is welcome, or if anyone is out that way looking for a newbie tag along!
No bait tank or fishfinder yet, so I’m planning on heading toward some GPS coordinates for Buc pipe and playing with some jigs and such. May try to pick up a single baitfish via sabiki and tie it right on.

When you guys fish the pier, how close to it do you go? Haven’t found much online about etiquette for kayak fishing near where the pier fisherman are working.
