KAYAK SPORTFISHING

• Paddling

Learn the basics of paddling (kayaking) with an emphasis on safety.  Everything from paddling to safely launching and landing your kayak. Introduction to surf launching/landing (harbor launch per request available).

• Fishing and Hooping

Whether you're an accomplished angler, have experience fishing or none at all, we will adapt to meet your needs.  More and more experienced anglers are adopting kayaks as their main platform for fishing. Most of the fishing we do is coastal calico bass, sand bass and halibut fishing. Depending upon time of season we may target barracuda, white seabass, yellowtail and salmon.
Seasonal lobster and crab clinics begin Oct. 2nd.

• Kayak Outfitting

Turn your stock kayak into a kayak fishing or diving machine. Kayak Sportfishing will outfit your kayak with everything from rod holders and paddle clips to bait tanks and fish finders. Fully outfitted packages including accessories and installation are available. Call for a quote. Prices are very reasonable.

• Kayak Diving

Are you a certified diver new to kayaking? Looking for a guide to help put you on the reefs? Our local knowledge combined with the aid of sonar will help bridge the gap between costly coastal charter dives and those energy draining shore launches. Must be certified (2 diver minimum).

• Kayak Demos and Selection

Not sure what kayak is right for you? We can help. Kayak Sportfishing also has several sit-on-top kayak models to choose from. Our fleet of kayaks range from long and narrow (fast with moderate stability) to short and wide (moderate speed and very stable). Single, tandem and tripple seat models are available.

• Securing Gear and Equipment

After safety, the name of the game is securing your gear.  As simple as this sounds, it's one of the most important and sometimes forgotten aspects of kayak fishing.  This invaluable information will save you time and money.
