Well, the Twins got Kayaks a year ago and are just now getting around to using them ::)

The Back Bay seems to be their Hot Spot and they slayed the fish once again 8)




Max got a Hali, 1/2" too short but he was happy :)



They said they got over 50 fish, my boys are progressing nicely ! 8)  8)

Putting on a show, those boys!

In the next few months, they should start targeting the bonefish.  Pump up some shrimp (or buy) and head to the 8' depths where the mud meets the eel grass beds.  They'll really get a kick out of them!

Nicely done guys and love the kayak adventures!  I can't wait to see the next trip!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

On the anniversary of the maiden voyage of the kayaks, I wanted to ask how often have they used them since.
I'm experienced with kayak fishing. I've gotten three over the past 15 years. First one took out about 15 times and bought a better one with a fishfinder. Used that one about 5 times until I got a truck which wouldn't fit it. Then bought an inflatable which I've used a dozen or more times.
Kayak fishing is a lots of fun but a bit more work. You need the prep time and paddle time to fish in or out of the harbor. Fresh water is easier since lakes are easier to fish.
Cheers to those who put in the extra effort.

  Well, they are using them every spare minute they get and I am glad. They even picked up another used one for their buddy to tag along and they mainly target The Back Bay in San Diego and they do really well. They have got the Spotties dialed in and a few nice Halibut have come home as well. They definitely have the desire to chase fish and stockpile gear and tackle like the rest of us ;D When they get a bit more established I see an upgrade to a peddle kayak with all the bells and whistles but for now they are happy and having a Blast !  8)  8)
