New to saltwater kayak fishing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I took kayak classes with Long Beach Parks and Rec, and I stay mostly in Alamitos Bay. Alamitos Bay is shallow, calm, and you’re never too far from shore. I believe the bay is 12-17 feet deep in most areas.

Spotted bay bass, perch, and various croakers are in the area. Some halibut are the channel. If you need stuff or repairs then Sunset OEX is down a bit.

I usually drop shot with raw shrimp with shell, at most grocery stores. Later, I’ll use mussels from the pilings. Most everything I catch is just attacking boat docks.

You can launch by the Parks Dept/Roller Hockey area which has a hose and stands. Or, you can roll under a life guard car entrance down by a yacht club.

I’m on vacation, so I’d be glad to show you around.

Once you get experience, then you can go out to the oil islands and catch some of everything. Or, fish the jetty and breakwall.
