I rented my first kayak not long ago, brought a rod out with me, and trolled Channel Islands harbor in my jeans. I hooked 1 mackerel that day and knew I was gonna have to buy a Kayak. I liked the fact that I could have my own vessel, and regardless of the size, cost, and lack of a motor, I could still catch all the same fish that I could off a PB or sportboat. Although I have not managed to have much success so far ( a couple of short Halibut, some bass etc.) I am still very enthused about this sport. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT IT IS THE KAYAK FISHING COMMUNITY. NEVER HAVE I FISHED ANYWHERE, PIER, BOAT, SURF ETC. AND FOUND PEOPLE SO WILLING TO SHARE INFORMATION AND BE HELPFUL AND SUPPORTIVE. THIS IS A FAR, FAR, FAR CRY FROM A SUNDAY ON A SPORTBOAT FIGHTING TO GET A SPOT ON THE STERN, ALMOST IN 'COMPETITION' WITH PEOPLE. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE SHARED INFO WITH ME AND I AM SURE WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. "WE ONLY KEEP WHAT WE HAVE BY GIVING IT AWAY".
MANY GOOD DAYS FISHING TO YOU ALL
CHARLES
