That's what I would do if I were you.....
You will be saving money in the long run, and you won't be wasting your time. Let him dial you right in.
Teach a man to fish one day, let's him feed his self for life...

Your request can be written as a book, but I try to give a very condense answer here.
My contribution to your request is as follows and it is not necessary for kayak fishing, but could be adopted to kayak fishing. Well lesson number one is ------Be patient. Best benefit of going fishing is learning to develop patience. Do a lot of research. Today with internet it is much easier. Like so many anglers, I too bought a rod, reel and throw out bait to see what bites. Eventually I realized that it was more important, is to have knowledge than luck when it comes to fishing. For example; don’t use Sabiki to catch shark! If you want bonito, don’t bother fishing at night. Carolina rig works best for bottom feeder species who have their mouth under their body. Etc., etc. Lots of post full of information here in this website, or other fishing websites. Ask for specific question here. Read library books on fishing. Go to Oceanside pier and watch regulars there. Make friends with them and ask questions. Some may give you help. Fish the pier. No license is required. Do you have a fish finder on your kayak? Do a lot of trolling with hard bait or live mackerel? Lastly, don’t make the outing about catching. You are in fresh air. Enjoy the beauty of the nature and get some exercise while paddling. The catch is the cherry on the top. I hope I got you heading in the right direction. Check Facebook for a group of kayak fisherman in San Diego. A member here (Buda) runs it. As they say in the fishing circuits, Tight lines. |

But I believe you did set me in the right direction. I need to go back out, keep talking to people and doing research as you said, and keep trying new things until I get to that point. In the meantime just enjoy the ocean. Thank you for your detailed response. Im going to stay involved on this site as its clear there is a wealth of knowledge and expertise. |

I haven't gone out in the Oceanside area in a while, but I do know where the reefs are.

What exactly are you looking to catch? Bigger bass? Halibut? Yellowtail? What are you using to catch them now?

Good point Ed...
I been thinking about this guy...I was gonna say just get a bass rod and a few jigs hookup bait ,fish traps,gulf shrimp bait ,big hammer, leadhead,grubs ,tubes ect
And start scraping the bottom along rock jettie, out with the tide in with the tide, but it sounds like your doing it now. You just need to find fish....lean how to splice braid to fluorocarbon and mono with the John Collins or RP knott. Mono to mono line double uni knot. Tie hooks and swivel with palomar or improved clinch knot. And learn dropper lupe and double uni and surgeon loop...keep it simply the skys the limit what you can learn for starters pole jig, net learn to cast and work jigs keep them on the bottom.
