Great day out there! How far do you go out off the beach? I have been kayak fishing for quite a while and always wanted to try fishing off the beach but didnt want to go too far.
@oafishingКүн бұрын
It was! I usually go out about 1-2 miles. Depending on where you launch the first set of reefs is about 1.3 miles from the beach. Most important things to look at are swell/surf/wind conditions and weather.

All the way to the bottom, then I just bounce it off the bottom. If I'm marking fish higher in the water column then I'll do my best to raise the lure to those marks and jig it there.

That's unfortunate and I bet it sucked! Things do happen sometimes though. I'm glad you had someone there to help. I've been hooked a few times and also had a hardhead catfish stick me in the leg.
