And I didn't catch anything lol
My name is Humberto, am 24yrs old and reside in the SFV. Just got my first kayak ever and decided to head out to try it out. I drove by county line and sure enough it looked pretty rough just like I read so decided to try out corral beach per suggestions at the tackle shop. The waves were much smaller but still manged to flip a couple times!
Kayak didn't seems stable the first 30 minutes but after a while I started feeling more comfortable. The third time I was able to get past the waves without to much hesitation. Anyway, I was going around the kelp and that's when I realized I suck at casting with a conventional reel. The only fishing I ever did previously was with spinning reels. No matter what I tried, I couldnt get the tady 45 to go more than 10yds with a tld 15 on #30 mono.
Also side questions
Is there an affordable or easy diy keel guard for the tarpon 140?
Where and how can I read wave height forecasts?
It was a good experience overall and I plan on going out next weekend.
No garage for me. I have an apartment.
