As far as hauling my new kayak I think I have it figured out. My wife wanted a new mini van so I told her if we get it I'm finally going to get a kayak. I can wait for the new car smell to go away and smell like fish....

Hook up with Fishaholic. He will get you set up with good gear at a very fair price.

Whatever u do get, make sure u get comfortable. I fished the bay for a year before LJ and am glad I did. Made a bunch of mistakes in the bay that I would hate to make in LJ. There's no rush. The fish are going to be there.

If you've never kayaked before it can be a challenge in it's self. Negotiating the surf on a kayak is a whole learning experience too. Get familiar with your kayak, ind your comfort zone and go from there. SD and Mission Bays are great places to yak fish. Lower Otay Lake only charges $2 to launch a kayak and allows SOTs. Its another $8 to fish. You can get comfortable on your kayak while fishing in a familiar style with the gear you currently have. Just a thought. The yak fishing community is full of stories about flipping, yard sales, and lost gear. Try not to be one of them. Mike

A 7 or 8ft medium heavy action ugly stick fire tiger rod, diawa sealine 30, 65lb power pro spectra, 10 yards of 40lb flourocarbon would be a good starter set up

I'd say don't waste your money on a "starter setup". You will upgrade. Either use what you have until you want to upgrade, or start off right with a decent setup that you will use a lot. Also, buy a rod leash and use it.
