I've been kayak fishing for 4 years and not once have I been out with anyone.

'I've only been fishing for 2 months and have made a kayak buddy who is new too, while fishing Newport Beach and we now go almost every Saturday. Before that I went out Dana Point Headlands with my cousin once in pretty bad conditions but was greatful he assured me we would be fine. Im glad he did cause now I feel more confident going solo, but I only stay closer to shore and Kelp beds. I would not go too far solo until I gain more experience but like others say cell phone a minimum and VHF in case you need serious help and cell wont work.

I always go SOLO. Love the peace and quiet. I often see others I know out there and some times don't mind, hanging out or fishing together. I never let it stop me because friend don't go. It's about spending time on the water relaxing and letting all the Bull Shit that happens to you in life just Fn.. fade away. If you get lucky, you also bring home dinner.

I've never been kayak fishing with anyone else and it seems like it would be awkward... too many group decisions if you're on a personal boat.
