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

There are plenty of great kayak fishing web sites and you are likely to
get better answers there.

I have never fished from a kayak on the west coast myself but I think
the kayak I would go with there would be no different than what I use on
the east coast. I usually am fishing tidal flats but most of the
pictures and accounts I read from the west coast seem to be in deeper
water. The Hobie Outback with the pedal system would be ideal. It is
stable, you can go forever with your legs (but you can paddle it too).

Hope the links help.

Good Fishin'
