Santa Cruz Kayak Fisherman

Hey guys!
Stoked to finally join the forum. Too many people have bugged me about how awesome this site is, so I guess I gave in to the peer fishing pressure to give it a try:). Anyways, my name is Aviv and I am based out of Santa Cruz. I have fished for everything in this area from Santa Cruz halibut to moss landing salmon to sand dabs near the edge of the canyon to the rocky north coast to bass and trout in the Santa Cruz Mountians. I fish off a Hobie Oasis and sometimes my surfboard.
Hope to post some great photos, videos, and reports in the near future!!

Hey Chaeki, my name is actually Aviv, not Ling if you are heading to the santa cruz area with your son i would try fishing the area in front of the lighthouse in about 50-70 ft of water. you can either launch out of the harbor or at the boardwalk. its a shorter paddle from the boardwalk. if you are feeling adventurous you can hit the coast north of SC for some bigger fish.
