Anybody up for a newb in late Oct?

So I got my new kayak and have been going out on our lakes here at Ft. Hunter Liggett. I have practiced paddling, self rescue, flip overs and have done a whole bunch of fishing. I am trying to get out for rockfish before the season closes. I have almost all of the gear listed for starting out (still need the radio). I am still very much an amature at this and maybe my request is unreasonable so early on, but I am willing to learn if someone is willing to teach. Looking to go out from MBK.


Thanks for all of the posts, I have learned a lot.

Kevin, welcome to the board as I'm pleased to hear that you got yourself a kayak. Now let the MADNESS begin lol!!

Speaking of Hunter Liggett, I used to do lotsa fishing there during my high school summer vacation days (10+ years ago lol!!). Been meaning to go back and rekindle some of those good memories.

Back to the topic, MBK rockfishing ain't the best place, but I feel it's much safer than other areas for RFing. However, yak fishing near the Coast Guard Jetty is a good/safe place to practice. You can catch some nice lings there. But if you are thinking about launching outta MBK, I would rather chase a wsb than RFs while they're still roaming around here.

Thanks for the reply. I don't necessarily need to go out of MBK. I was thinking it would be a good place for my first ocean paddle. I am looking for a good, easy and safe place for my first go around.

thanks

Kevin,
   I'm trying to put together a group to fish Ft Ross this Wednesday (10/27)  So far, there are three confirmed and at least another two likely.  You're welcome to join us.  We will be launching around 7:00.  Conditions are forecast to be pretty calm.  I have never fished the fort myself, but there will be at least a couple of guys who know the "turf".

You're much more prepared than I was my first time out!

Have fun and be safe!
