Hello Spearos-

I’m just beginning my spearfishing obsession.  I’m starting with an FII L1 class with Daniel Gillen from Red Triangle. 

I am looking for recommendations on both a kayak and a gun.  If possible, it would be great to get a tandem that I could also use solo for spearing trips.  I’m looking at a Tarpon 135T or Malibu 2XL Angler.

On the gun side, I’m looking at something that would be good for Point Conception up to Fort Bragg.  I do like the idea of a wood gun, but am open to suggestions.  If it makes sense, I am not opposed to two guns.

Thanks and I hope to get out there with some of you.

Thanks for all the comments.  I ended up ordering Tempest Jacket and Pants.

Thanks for the recommendations.  I will search the wader threads and check out the Kokatat options.

I tried searching the forums, but didn’t come up with anything.  I’m new to kayak fishing and looking at options for clothing during the winter in NorCal.  I’ve done some steelhead fishing and have waders and a rain jacket (and insulation)

Does that sound like a reasonable setup for the kayak or unsafe due to waders taking on water?

Thanks for the help and I can’t wait to get out there

Hey Everyone!

My name is Wes and I currently live in Sacramento.  I've been wading in the American for a few years and think a floating vessel would be a good alternative.  I'm excited to learn more about kayaks and maybe hit the Delta at some point.

Thanks
