First post - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

KDan · 01-17-2016, 10:16 AM

Hey guys just joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I recently picked up a Malibu X-factor a couple weeks ago and got it rigged up for fishing. I used to live in Miami where I fished daily for bass, snook, barracuda, snapper, grouper, etc... Since I've been back in California I haven't fished saltwater much but I recently realized the potential of the kayak to get to the kelp beds cheaply/easily and started getting my gear in order. So that's kind of my backstory.

I live in San Pedro now and will be launching out of Cabrillo, Redondo, and white point in Palos Verdes on a weekly basis (Thursday and/or Friday) and occasionally making longer trips down to Dana point and San Diego. Send me a message if you're in my area and let's get out there. I'd love to learn more from the long-time kayak anglers as I'm new to the small boat game. I'm planning to launch this Thursday or Friday depending on conditions and would love for someone to join me if you're available.

Thanks guys and I look forward to meeting and fishing with a bunch of you in the near future.

Welcome to the board.

I too am novice (kayak wise), but maybe we can fish together.

Be sure to check the sea conditions before going out.

I am planning to do some hoop netting in Redondo beach, or Long Beach, I will post about them when I am ready.

You two guys should hook up with Tony (fulrack)

He is very knowledgable about the area you plan on fishing.

His guide rates are very reasonable

. Usually a big sandwich will do it.

I was going to bring a hoop net or two this week as well. Let me know what you're thinking and let's go together

Personal best halibut!

Hahahah

KDan · 01-18-2016, 07:34 AM

Just let me know what kind of sandwiches haha

StinkyMatt · 01-18-2016, 03:48 PM

If you show up with a "foot long" Tony will laugh at you.

Bring something measured in feet, at least 4 types of meat in it, make sure it's toasted.......no napkins needed....it will be two big bites.

The waiting list to become a client is very long.....

KDan · 01-19-2016, 02:44 PM

I think we're on the same page as far as sandwiches go then

tacmik · 01-20-2016, 03:54 PM

And if you get the sandwich from busy bees, you go to the head of the line.

KDan · 01-20-2016, 07:33 PM

Busy bee and a-1 came to mind of course!

+1 Tony is the best. Halibut now cower in fear when they see my kayak at the ramp thanks to the skills I aquired from him
