Rockfish open @ stillcove -first ocean kayak fishing experience

Hermes... you the man! I expect to see you on the water, soon! You're a natural and will be a good addition to what we do out there...

Congrats on your first ocean trip. I am curious about the name dropnlax. Constipated or Los Angeles baggage handler???????

Well the name was a quick thinking of what would be a good handler that best represent myself in fishing.. and I thought fishing is pretty much drop off the rig and relax

Hermes... you the man! I expect to see you on the water, soon! You're a natural and will be a good addition to what we do out there...

Blake, will see you out there soon one way or another!  I'm getting pieces of gears left and right as we are speaking

Great report!!! Great way to start out "listening to momma"  And the fish gods gave u your first reward a legal ling WTFG bro...well just getting OTW has its perks!!!  Hope to cya OTW soon!!! 

OK, I am new to this as well. I jumped into it with very little knowledge and have not had a good catch or a good fish yet. I have put in to Stillcove 4 times and skunked twice. I have begun my education with NCKA!

I think I'm finally getting the hang of my kayak enough to try actually fishing from it. I don't suppose any of you know of a good guide a little closer to the city? I'm in Oakland and I'm not really sure I trust my car and inflatable roof rack to make it all the way to monterey and back.

I'm a little bit of a special needs fisherman, though, seeing as how 1) I don't really know how to fish, and 2) I'm carting around in one of these: http://www.wolfgangbrinck.com/boats/tales/shortbaidarka.html, and I know how SIK-style boats are frowned upon here. Still, if anyone has any good recs for a patient guide closer to SF, I'd love to hear.

Congrats Hermes on a great day! Glad to see you started out with a vetran like Blake, no doubt he knows this sport. Looks like your the one who's hooked

Hope to see you on the big blue soon
