If you've never kayaked before it can be a challenge in it's self. Negotiating the surf on a kayak is a whole learning experience too. Get familiar with your kayak, ind your comfort zone and go from there. SD and Mission Bays are great places to yak fish. Lower Otay Lake only charges $2 to launch a kayak and allows SOTs. Its another $8 to fish. You can get comfortable on your kayak while fishing in a familiar style with the gear you currently have. Just a thought. The yak fishing community is full of stories about flipping, yard sales, and lost gear. Try not to be one of them. Mike
