new in monterey

Hi, my name is Matt. I recently moved to pacific grove in monterey. I am an avid high sierra fly fisherman. Now that I live on the coast I am trying to get into the kayak ocean fishing scene. I am looking for a decent yak, doesn't need to be perfect but something workable. I have firearms for trade if anyone is interested. Anyway, enough advertising.  Hopefully I can get a yak before rockfish closes. If not I will have to wait till may. Please if anyone has a line on a good kayak let me know, also if anyone needs a fishing buddy in Pacific Grove I am down to go. Thanks

Welcome Matt! Keep your eyes on Craigslist, there's good deals from time to time if you're looking for a used one. Also once you get to ten posts on this forum you can scope out the classified ads, also a great place to find bargains. I'll keep my ear to the street and if I come across anything I'll definitely let you know. Good to have another future kayak angler in the area! Hope to see you on the water soon, Monterey Bay chapter of NCKA is the best

Welcome  .... No extra yaks here but there is alot of us out this way so hopefully some one could help you out.... You can also che Monterey Bay kayaks or outdoor adventure sports for used demo yaks quality yaks for a decent price...  See you on the water

Never mind beer hunters avatar that states he will bring the beer. Its A lie. Welcome to Ncka, I will look you up next time we go out I have an extra yak you could borrow.

Right on Matt. Where'd you move from? Not many river flyfishing options around here, but there's a few secret spots.
If you want to learn about kayak fishing or the local fishing scene, you're in the right place! Lots of guys on here have spare kayaks, so you m/b able to borrow one and fish with someone before Dec 31 (when ocean fishing from a boat/yak essentially closes, except for perch & sanddabs). That's the best way to learn too...fish with someone who has done it all before...saves some trial & error and expedites your learning curve.
But make sure to learn about marine forecasts and proper safety gear too. Here's some safety info: http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=27534.0
 

Thanks guys, hopefully I am on the water soon. I will bring the homebrew

Sounds like we found a replacement member for that beer-thieving Beerhunter character

Hire Bushy for a guide trip out of MBK next summer. Take a paddle class out of MBK I'm the next 6 months. Read the safety section. Welcome. Scott

Welcome aboard.  Learn to spearfish.  The season is open all year for the few that go that route.
