May I suggest that the best 101 is learning to get your kayak through various conditions without crashing and losing gear, or hurting yourself.

When you get past the breakers, there are lots of good things to learn about how to be safe in the ocean, how to self rescue, how to reduce risks, how to contact someone when you need help, etc., etc., etc. .... etc. Fixing things that break, how to get your kayak back rightside up and reboard, crazy guys in skiffs, currents, water conditions, weather, disorientation in fog, buddy system, bilge pumps, radios, a few essentials for first aid, getting embedded hooks out of the wrong places, etc., ....

Welcome! Have fun!

hehehe

I wonder what the coordinates are for that place where they threaten to make children into sausage if they misbehave? That's another hot spot. They have good beer when the fishing is slack.

These may sound like harsh questions; but do you know how to kayak? You said you just moved here, but not from where. Do you have experience in the surf or ocean? Simply asking how and where to catch yellow tail might be like asking how to play soccer before you master running.

Like most things, kayak fishing involves a learning curve. For some with previous surfing, paddling, n fishing experience the curve can be shorter. Those with out previous experience may find it takes longer.

I'm not discouraging you. Everyone was a beginner. You can do it too.

Like others have said, there is loads of info on this sight to look thru. And easy too much info out on the web. It will be helpful to find others in your area to fish with. Mike

Okay guys, first off you guys are all pretty amazing. I think it is really cool that this hub of fishing knowledge exists. Its so fun being able to talk to other like minded people and gain wise advice. You guys are awesome.

TAGGERMIKE, I am handy with a whitewater kayak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqlIX7cw3bE and am pretty comfortable with the ocean https://youtu.be/dadqoW9BQcY (spent a year in Micronesia as a teacher/surfing).

That being said, I don't know anything about ocean fishing. I've been bass fishing most of my life but that is a whole different ball game. I really should have fished in micro but every free chance we had I was surfing..

How much does it cost to get guided by sea samurai? Also how would I get in touch with him? I have seen some of his youtube vids and he looks like an awesome guy.

Great videos. Looks like fun. Except the shredded heal bleeding in to a box part.
I'd say you're on the very short learning curve. Mike
