Catalina by kayak

[peeples72]

I will be on my way to Catalina next week and was wondering if anyone has some tips for fishing in the Avalon area by kayak. (Besides wearing 1000% Deet spray to ward off the sharks!)
As well any info on charters that are less than $1000/day would be appreciated as well.
In Montana, the rivers are just clearing up and a good summer is on tap. Already grabbed a few nice Cutthroat from the pre-runoff rivers!

i have never fished from a yak but you should be able to catch tons of bass in the kelp close to the island use swim baits or try to make bait. good luck if i had a kayak i would make the trip there as well

Watch out for the sea lions out there some times you cant keep them off you bring a sling shot.

You might want to get some Gulp baits in the with pearl color. I forget what they are called they are about 4" long (not the swim bait type they are more like bass assasins). Fish them with about a 3/8 dart head. 15 lb test. is about right. You might lso want to avoid the west end. Do a shearch on Topless, Shark , Catalina and you will see why.

See ya on the water!

Yeah, read the story about the shark in the West Cove. If it's your time I guess it's your time...I guess it wasn't that lady's time. How many people can say have done a two-step on a Great White?? I guess deet doesn't work for sharks like it does mosquitos. haha
I have secured a kayak for the week, so I will let you know what happens.
Thanks again for all the info...it is greatly appreciated.
