Bean Hollow on 9/13(Sat)

Thanks you guys for the responses on the newbie question. I really appreciate it.
Maybe someday I'll have a chance but for now, I think I'll have to go with
Mr. Northern Boy. I need more kayak hours under my belt.

Anyone going out Sunday?

Hello folks,

Is Bean Hollow newbie friendly?

In a word, no.
However, we were all Bean newbies at one time.The first time I fished Bean there were 18 of us on the water!
I would definitely recommend a comfort level with timing surf launches & landings. There have been plenty of wipeouts at Bean. Know how to handle yourself & your boat in steep strong shorebreak. Wear a wetsuit & carry safety stuff.
As far as tackle, the standard lures, etc for rockfish but figure on a decent drift speed. I usually use 2 to 4 oz jigs and swimbaits.

Don't forget the shark attack there. In my book, when 14 feet sharks try to eat your kayak, it's not really a newbie spot.

Hey Bungle, I'll be there sunday morning, hope the weather is good

i want to go to the bean tomoro. is a fish finder necessary? whos going?
