Kayak fishing the 'Bu - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Got out early in Malibu on Sunday with my son and some of his Boy Scout friends.

Also met Sling360 there, nice to meet you Rich!

Here's the Boy Scout buncha goofballs:

Everyone got out safely through the surf and despite the marine layer they hooked up right away. Calico/Kelp Bass, Olive Rockfish/Johnnie Bass, Mackerel, and Jack Smelt.

My son, Cooper, in the orange pfd, had a great time and can't wait to go again!

(Lame photo of Cooper by my buddy through a plastic zip lock bag, I think this is the calico he caught.)

He also caught a mess of fish, more than me. He caught macs and smelt and was the only one to catch a Johnnie Bass (he got two), and the only kid to catch a Calico.

Cooper and I went on a run the next day, and on the run he was telling me about the different fishing techniques he used and why he thinks they worked.

He was sounding just like a fisherman!

I threw feathers at the edges of the kelp and got a bunch of Calico.

A close-up of a nice sized Grump I picked up:

Pretty fish!

Super fun!

Nice photo of that fish face. Looks like you guys had fun, which matters sometimes!

Thanks guys.

I know it's not 25# YTs or 35# WSB, like all the LJ peeps post up, but it's still kayak fishing and it's still fun!
