    I’m up for a meetup! I’ll be taking my kiddo so I’ll be using my inflatable with outboard coming out of MDR but I can meet wherever you guys are at. I was planning on going to PV. I’m pretty new to kayak fishing. Your vids are what got me started. Just did a session paddling from MDR to Santa Monica break wall, all for 2 calicos lol. Swells and snags made it hard to fish and I got there a bit late so I couldn’t fish much that day. Overall about a 10 mile paddle or so. So far I only know MDR with the kayak. And getting to know the bay with the inflatable.

This summer due to some family medical issues i've only been able to hit saltwater. I actually went out of redondo last weekend with Shane and hit the PV kelp for calicos with glide baits.

      I’m not exactly a newbie, but I have only launched out of King Harbor once. I took my Hobie PA-14 to Palos Verdes and back. The biggest issue I had was getting back up on the dock after getting back. The PA-14 is a beast of a kayak and there is a couple feet of drop off the launch ramp. I had to get someone to help me lift the kayak back onto the dock. That’s pretty much my only beef with King Harbor, unless there is a better place to launch from.

      @@infomwr i hear you. i used to ride a PA14. with a kayak like that, you're much better off using the boat hoist. they'll also validate your parking, and in the end, it ends up being the same price as hand-launching.
