New to the board - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Miguelitro has some good advice, especially if youre bringing your kayaks down with you. You are taking a big risk if you leave your kayaks on your vehicle (Its not Oakland....but still..) so a vacation rental should have some space for your yaks. You can find a lot of them on Craigslist. Do a vacation rental search with keywords Pacific Beach, Mission Beach or La Jolla on the San Diego Craigslist. The two "cheaper" hotels here in La Jolla that you have a chance of sneaking your yaks into at night on the ground floor are the La Jolla Beach Travelodge and the La Jolla Village Lodge. La Jolla is more expensive but has a nicer coastline than the Mission Bay area. The Mission Bay area, especially Pacific Beach and Mission Beach are party towns with a lot of half naked women running around during the summer......You shouldnt have much of a problem during the week but the weekends are packed and parking is a lot harder to find. Also, there are two well known/respected guides that frequent this site and would knock down the learning curve considerably. If not a guide this is a very friendly site with some great kayak fishermen that surely would share info and show you the ropes.

Cool, thanks all-
I was looking at the vacation rentals but for just my wife and i they seem very very expensive, heck our last two Baja trips were cheaper then a week at most of these places.

My wife is great with fishing vacations, as long as we can get a hot shower and a bed, we are good to go.

I'll keep looking around and good call on Craigslist as well as the guides as that may be a killer option and we are going to look into that.
