What's the furthest you've paddled? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Scoot · 04-19-2015, 12:05 PM

When I first got my boat I was a paddling
Fool! Lived in Big Bear then, entered the
Classic, paddled dam to Standflied twice
first day. Often thought it would be cool to
hit Catalina with support, not no mo!

Longest I have paddled from launch to first drop would be from San Onofre to the Box Canyon Clam beds. I believe it was 4.7 miles. I have fished much further than that from launches, but fished my way out in those cases. Longest distance paddled back at the end of the day was a tie at about 6 miles (as the Crow flies) San Onofre (chasing mythical Tuna), and Punta Final back to Campo Beluga in Gonzaga Bay.

NW corner, Torrey, then full tour of LJ again is something like 20 miles......that was before the closure..

6 miles out at La Jolla is the farthest from shore. Unlike most I think trolling is fun and don't mind the ride on my PA. Hopefully I will get time to made it to the Nine mile bank this summer

X factor. Did it a few times, Dawn to dusk.

Average trip is about 17 miles....the most was 24........and I felt that one for at least a few days. If you are covering ground and on the hunt.....15+ miles add up very quick. All done in the PA. I know of someone on this board who will blow this number away....most likely a few times a week.

Longest day was about 14 miles total, tried to find a wreck off the coast on North Carolina, never found the wreck, but we did manage to catch some big king mackerel while trolling! My shoulders hurt for a week.

This summer I am planning a SUP trip from LJ Shores to Mission Bay. Will probably be about 11 miles, eventually I'll build up to the trip my friends have done from Solana Beach to Mission Bay that's about 24 miles.

are you still a young buck ? 8 -12 seems like a lot of miles . but hell , put Josh on any of these yaks and it does not seem to make a difference . he just does not slow down , regardless of conditions . may it is just me, with a tired old burnt up body ?
