The Jackson is on my radar also. The layout and stability of the design is just lightyears better than anything else out there for what we want to use it for. They don't allow my big PA on mothership trips, but I think one of these would be ideal for that use.

I have been fishing off my SUP for a while now. I always do a beach launch to hit the kelp beds off Del Mar and Torrey Pines. I have found that the easiest thing, for me at least, is to go commando (waist pack with gear and rod stuffed into your wetsuit with safety leash) and paddle out. Haven't caught anything too big yet but sure is alot of fun. As far as boards are concerned, just look for a big stable board that you are comfortable with that you can paddle and maybe surf on too. Once you add all the coolers and boxes and rod holders, it treally doesn't become any easier than a kayak... Good luck!
