Trying to fish the ocean in a kayak has always looked like a bad idea IMHO

It's usually good fun. A lot of fish can drag you around out there. Makes for a lot of giggles. Can get too hot, currents can drag you pretty far before you notice, wind can make getting anywhere you want to go a huge PITA, but sharks aren't usually a normal issue. Never had one be a problem, and only saw them too close for comfort a couple times. Dolphins can scare the crap out of you until you figure out they aren't sharks. |

I love Kayak fishing buy I'd need a bigger Kayak to fish the ocean like the size of a yacht.

Went Sturgeon fishing last week on the Willamette River in Oregon. It was a blast. There were 5 of us in the boat and we caught 18 total in 6 hours. Catch and release only. anything under 54" you can pull into the boat. anything longer has to stay in the water. Our guide measured the big ones in the water with a piece of rope looped on one end. I pulled up a 72" monster (for me anyway). It took me 30 min to get it to the boat. I'd get him within 50 feet of the boat and he would take off 200 feet. Those are some odd fish. Look prehistoric to me

They are the strangest looking fish I have ever hooked. The spines are like ice picks. |

Opinions on 9-12’ rods for shore fishing for crappie. Brands you like etc. ultra light, light, medium light. Or do you just prefer 6-7’? Give me some opinions

I know of several spots on a few small lakes and decent sized ponds up here in Iowa that they put Christmas trees with cinder blocks tied to hold them down and they put them out on the ice and once it melts it sinks. Got pictures on my phone of them still sitting on the ice so I’ve landmarked the spots. Lots are going to be hard to cast to on windy days. These spots from shore I will jig from yes but also minnows and a slip bobber. I have the ultra light 5-5.5’ rods but want to try one with some length to help cast to the further out spots once they move into deeper areas. I have plenty of reels so trying out a 10-12’ one for 40-80 bucks is worth a shot. Just never used one before
