Newbie from southbay

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to kayak fishing and am amazed by all the great catches I see on some of your posts.  I originally got my nucanoe frontier 12 for duck hunting (which was a great success) but I also love fishing and am trying to learn the ropes of fishing the coast. 

My first kayak launch attempt at bean hollow 2 weeks ago basically did not happen because the waves were huge and the wind was just too much.  I'm quite aware of the frigidness of the water as I also enjoy open water swimming, but swimming and fishing are two different things!!!  I appreciate any advice for a safer place to launch if there are any.  I hope to learn a lot from everyone and eventually contribute some knowledge of my own. 

Also name is Bobby.  See ya out there!

Welcome!!

TON of spots easier and better for a beginner than the Bean!!

Keep your eyes open for hookups here and hope to see you out on the water!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Do heed this advice!

Welcome to ncka!  Keep your eyes out for hook ups in HMB, santa cruz. Those are pretty easier launch.

Welcome Bobby  Your maiden voyage will happen soon enough, way to excersise good judgement if the conitions weren't right. See you on the water  ,Amos
