Capitola early morning buddy

new to this site, want to find a buddy to go out with, any takers?  I live in La Selva Beach and have little kayak fishing experience, I am in good shape and would love to get out. I have a rigged paddle kayak 13 feet.  would love to go for some Halibut.

When do you plan to go out? If you suggest a date (and don't forget to mention all of the safety gear that you have, and that you know how to use it...), you might have better luck.

Thanks Neil

Welcome J4F to NCKA.   

I just moved from La Selva to Larkin Valley. Still restoring my kayak and have a ways to go but should be done soon. I'm new to all of this as well.

A radio and practicing self-rescue are a couple more essentials.
