kayak fishing in So. Cal

[Mike Jenkins]

Hi, are there any Southern Calif. kayak fisherpersons out there? I'm
considering purchasing a kayak for excersise and fishing. I'd like to fish
Newport Bay and perhaps, eventually the local kelp outside the bay. Do any
of you have any words of advice on what kind of kayak I should look at? I do
plan on taking a course or 2 to learn how to kayak safely. Thanks, Mike

I have had mine in the surf and of course you can pull it out in seconds
with the twist of two knobs. Have you tried one or just making an off
hand comment?

There are definitely other kayaks and as with any boat they are all
better for one thing or another. A boat that does great in the surf is
not going to do as well on a long paddle as a long slick boat that
tracks well. The Outback is a good all around boat and offers some great
advantages. It is not the best boat for all conditions but which boat is?

Good Fishin'
