I live in PG and love to fish. Since we moved here I have not had time  :smt010 . I bought a used Santa Cruz kayak the other day :smt003 . I am ready to get started. Please let me know of any idea on gear setup... With that I am lost. I have really only done lake fishing.

Take a kayak safety class at Monterey Bay Kayaks before adding fishing to the mix.

Hey Firemanwoody
 You live in my favorite spot in the world. The LBCrew fish there as often as possible. See you out there next Rock Cod season. You are welcome to come to the valley anytime and winter fish with the LBCrew!  We fish SLR the Forebay and the D-Dam allot. PM me if interested.
