looking for some one to show me the ropes in the kelp!

Going out solo and inexperienced is half the fun!!!

Meet new people. Network. Spend time in the water. Check past threads when people will be heading out, make friends, offer beer. You've stumbled in a great resource. May many toads be in your future!

Congratulations on your new kayak!


Taking your first fishing trip out of la jolla is probably not a good idea. I would reccomend you get some experience on flat water before you venture out into open water.

We've seen guys quit right away...you might want to find out if kayak fishing is for you before you put yourself in a precarious position.

While I agree, I remember heading out to la jolla with minimum knowledge and never being in a kayak before. If the sense if adventure is there, I say go for it.

Huntington harbor is a good place to practice i recommend fishing there just don't go pass the PCH bridge.

Of course, I mean no one ever dies cause they had a sense of adventure having tried something risky for the first time solo.

Great advice as always!

Oh god it's always some boo hoo comment with you. Kayak fishing is no more dangerous than half the shit you do everyday. Why don't you show him the ropes then momo.... Instead of crying about every word that comes out of my mouth.

Stop giving careless advise to a newbie to head out solo with all the things that could go wrong on the water. Yes we get it your a tough guy and love risk but do not tell someone asking to buddy up to head solo that's just dumb.

If he lives closer I would take him out and have plenty of guys on this board and off. This ain't the movies hero's don't always live to share their "sense of adventure"

Kayak fishing is not hard. Im not a tough guy and I'm actually pretty effing nice, stop being a barney. the guy is obviously ready to assume the risk, hence this entire thread. Hordes of people before Me, and you, have trudged out by themselves and had great success. i don't paddle out into the middle of the ocean to be tough, i do it because i can be at peace with myself. everybody does things for different reasons, but don't sit here and tell me my advice is "dumb" because you wanna sit around with your tail tucked at any chance of risk. You have yourself a great night, I'm going fishing.
