[pasadenafishin]

Does anyone do it?
Anyone halibut fish from a yak? I just got a new fishing kayak and am looking to fish for halibut from it. Anyone do it? Can I launch at any beach?

I cant give you any info or tips since I dont Yak, youll have to forgive me, but if you decide to beach launch on a Yak, be extremely careful.

Start in a harbor first.

Launch anywhere where the surfs ok. Usually swells 1-3 ft are ok for launching. Be careful though surf launching can brake your rods if you flip over it does take some practice. Landing is usually harder. What kind of kayak do you have?

ANd always watch the wind even in the harbor. Windfinder.com is what i use.

depending on the surf you can troll pretty close to shore. and l have launched from shore and as long as your timing is right. practice makes pefect.

Yeah I do it all the time from Newport to Ventura launching and landing can be a bit tricky watch vids on YouTube. Make sure everything has a leash and securely strap everything on including poles. Also have a dry container for cell and keys , a roll over is inevitably going to happen ! Have fun!
