My first kayak!! Can't wait! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ctfphoto · 10-19-2011, 12:35 PM

We bought our first kayak (two seater) about 3 months ago. I took me 6 months to talk my wife into letting us get this for us and two children. It took me about a week and a half to talk her into getting the second kayak

About 2 months ago I found out about kayak fishing after purchasing 2 kayaks.

Turns out the Tarpon 120 I bought myself was a pretty good choice for fishing for the price.

Now after some research, I really want an outback, talking the wife into that may take a year tho

As to Kayak Fishing, OMG it's one of the funniest things I have done in a long while, I am addicted. I have gone out a least one a week for 2 months straight.

La Jolla is a blast, you should check it out.

Im fairly new to this addiction myself but loving every trip out. I live in newport and my choice spot to launch is off m street. Take balboa all the way to the end of the penninsula till the road starts to curve towards the wedge. On your left there is a small public swim area with a dock. Always meet up with other kayak anglers in the early hours there as well. Plus if you chose to purchase bait since its harder to jig up bait inside the harbor, the baitbarge is right there. Shoot me a pm if you would like to meet up some time soon. I go out a few times a week and I'm always open for company.

By the way min-va. I don't know if you have considered this but the warm season is coming to and end and the water will be getting quite cold. If you want to continue this obsession into the winter months you should look into a good drysuit. Everyone will tell you its not if but when you fall in.

Drysuit is a must i think, but as a beginner, i don't know anything about it, should do some research on it too...tks for the advise.
But fall into the ocean sounds scary for me, even i know a lot about sharks and seals, and i don't think i am that lucky to be a target, but for some reason, i still have that fear in mind
