I fished last week with 68 year old guy on his first kayak session. He owns a yatch and makes several long range trips a year but He was like kid with his first fish catching spotties and vina off the yak. The fun factor is huge. Mike

Because it so dang fun.

The exercise is a great health benefit as well as the wonderful seafood.

I started yak fishing a little over a year ago and have gone at least once a week ever since. I now need to go out on the water.

And the big secrete is, that it is so much easier (to Kayak Fish) then most people think. Beach Launching thru waves at La Jolla on a small swell is a cakewalk. Lobster Hooping at night is so easy when it sounds so difficult at first.

It is all good.

I got into it this year because my son, who is 17 wanted to get into it. I thought it would be a good excuse to get more father/son time. Who knows how much time I will have with him until he finds others to hang with.

We made a few good trips to LaJolla and the harbor in Oceanside. Not many fish to be had but good time spent on the water.

sold my kayak and picked up a skiff

but kayaks are easier to transport/store, can paddle over kelp, and can get real close to rocks without worrying about damage. + exercise is always nice. and catching a big YT on a kayak while a boat stares at you = awesomeeee

There are so many things that make Kayak fishing what it is and I think one of the biggest draws is the people that are in it. This site for example, look at all the help that comes out when a newb comes on board. Sure there are some that overlook them and brush on by, but I think there is more help and encouragement by most on here and that helps make people feel good about what they are doing, and involved with.

I owned a boat and sure it was nice to be able to hit places that are miles apart from each other but you miss so much when doing that. I have found spots that I use to just fly by because I was in a hurry getting to a spot that I thought would work.

Kayak fishing is great and the people in it are great.
