I will start off with Hello everyone.
You guys can call me Scott, currently living in San Francisco. I have been shore fishing in the area for couple of years, was hooked to kayak fishing since 2010 when I bought my Ocean Kayak Endeavor. Too bad that I wasn't able to do much fishing due to working and my 2 daughters, but now most the stuff has been settled and Now I am ready to hit the water again. However wasn't very good at locating fish and tackling them... Yet , I do still consider myself a newbie. Would love to meet any of you guys OTW and learn a thing or two.
I do have 2 friends that just recently bought a kayak. One, I went out couple time with him on the water, delta and Monterey bay but with not much success, only catching 1 small bass and tons of tiny halibuts. And my second friend just bought a hobie a week ago, we are rigging up and planing to hit the water tomorrow. Wish us luck :) any advise would help do want to make the trip fun, no need for big fish.
Anyways my wife just wake up and keep talking to me, I guess I will end it here for now.
C u guys OTW.

Let me know if you want to go fishing.  I also live in SF. 

Those tons of tiny halibuts.. . could they possibly be sand dabs?
