  Ah I had a great time kayak fishing down here in FL. wish I known it was a growing thing back home because I wouldn't have sold my redfish 14.
UGH

Look at this way it is one less thing you have to move back up.  Thee are plenty of sales and good deals up here.  If you get the urge I know a couple of friends that have multiple kayaks maybe we could get a trip together in the spring.

The water right now on the flats behind Island Beach State Park is around 76 as of last night.  The fishing back there is red hot right now.  Stripers, blues, sharks, cow nose rays.  Oh my...

A buddy of mine went out Monday and caught 3 stripers just off a sedge island in an hour and a half, not bad.

Happy Catching

Hello everyone first time post I was drifting the channel and a boat came by saying its a bad spot to be in a kayak so I yelled back at him no need to repeat what I yelled back but basically said I have every right to be here so 10 min go bye here he comes full speed 15 feet away from me almost lost it what I'm getting at can you fish the channel that's the way I was tout to fish m I wrong

You might have every right to be there but in all reality you will loose the battle.  The bigger guys have no clue that you have issues in a kayak so they treat you like any other boat.  Although I am new to kayaking (this is my second year) I would not venture out to a busy channel where I know the wave action will be, well lets call it challenging.

In my case I prefer to fish the back side of IBSP around the sedge islands and now with the cut thru the fishing is awesome back there.  Plenty of blues and smaller stripers galore.

Try fishing it in low light and the action becomes even better.

Happy Catching

I recommend fishing these busy areas early in the morning when they are not so busy. Like before 7AM and during weekdays. Other than that be very very careful even in no wake areas around bridges. Most boaters don't abide by these rules. Always have a flag on your kayak and wear a life jacket and a whistle. Happy kayaking

let me chime in, I started with kayak fishing, about 15 years ago, boy do I miss it, I just got too old. but anyway always be safe. and always carry a compass. last fall about 2 miles of ibsp I came across two kayakers heading to some distant land. It was very foggy and they were going the wrong way. I escorted them back to the beach and I felt great that they were safe.

Hi everyone JBlaze here new to the whole Kayaking thing. I've done some research and I know I going to love it! I hope to be out on the water in my own kayak next season as I want to take the time for now to rig mine up as I see fit. I hope by the time I'm ready to launch my adventure I will have met with a few ppl to go out on the water and have some fun. Safety first and goin yakin with with some great yaker's is all the battle.
