now we're talkin, thats some good info. right now my son and i are fishin off of sup's, i hope that dosent get me kicked off the site!! eventually i will move to one of the fancy kayaks i see on this site, but thats after he gets his butt outta the house, i wanna keep it fun for him now so i can enjoy his company as long as possible, a lil surf a lil fish, so the kelp beds along the shore are the best for us. The reef, pipes and swamis sound good, thanks for the oside info. dont know how it feels to be on an sup way out in the ocean, freaks me a lil thinkin about it, but if thats what i have to do to catch fish, so be it. any tips on bait, tactics, and what is PM?

You know, a great place to launch a SUP would be the Children's Pool. The fishing grounds start a couple hundred feet out. What could be easier than that?

I'm all for this. The more people that show up to use the beach the more the seals will find somewhere else to sleep.

For the bass use Zooms on a sleadhead and 3-5" swimbaits. Plus use some sort of scent, I like Hotsauce. Fishing the kelp I wouldn't use heavier than 15lb line, this time of year I'd use 10lb.

zooms? sleadhead? hotsauce? burrito hotsauce?

Zoom= Zoom Supper Fluke, I usually use 5" or 7". Baby bass and smokin shad are my 2 favorites. The new swimmin super fluke is awesome. I got mine from Hogan's Bait and Tackle in Dana Point.

Sled Head = a lead head that allows for weedless rigging of baits like the Super Fluke. Perfect for the kelp and boilers, when rigged right it's really hard to snag and lose your bait.

Hotsauce = a fish attractant. They also make the Flurry, my favorite small swimbait. I fish Big Hammers for 5" and above. They also make the Hyspin, turns any lead head with a big enough eye into a spinner bait.

Nice lesson, outlined just the way i can understand. Is there a place to get this stuff affordable on-line or just go to the local shop!! This stuff good for harbors and kelp beds? I know you senior guys don't give up all your secrets so I don't wanna push ya, thx.

I believe our kayak fishing kayaks have evolved from sups...good luck out there and enjoy, but be warned it is an addiction
