"The Coastal Kayak Fishing Schools"
"A logical, economical first step for entering the sport."
Here is a portion of the "curriculum".
1) "Better than basic" kayak skills and safety with techniques for open-deck kayak fishing;
2) How to select and outfit the best kayak model to suit each individual's particular needs;
3) Live bait applications including procurement, storage and transportation;
4) Targeting fish with artificial lures and light tackle;
5) Use and applications for sonar (permanent and portable fishfinders) on a fishing kayak;
6) Fly fishing, trolling, hand-line fishing, gear, tackle and equipment, kayak riggings and much more!
7) Years of technical support from the Coastal Kayak Fishing Guides, if and when you ever need it, with a simple phone call.
For most anglers, a day with a CKF Guide is the only formal instruction you will ever need to enjoy a lifetime of quality fishing on your kayak. Many past participants claim the school trimmed up to two years off of the self learning process. Most beginning and intermediate paddling skills are included in the course of instruction.
Coastal Kayak Fishing Schools are fully outfitted. The first of its kind and often imitated by other guide outfits, the CKF guides have been improving this program for over a decade. If you already have a kayak, we'll rig it at the beach so you can spend the day in your own boat. A tackle pack is provided and lunch is supplied by your guide. The day starts early at the beach with plenty of onshore instruction, a beach launch, more on the water "lessons" followed by lots of fishing.
The School sessions are limited to 2 participants per guide and last 5-8 hours, conditions permitting. In the rare event a session is cut short due to weather, we'll have you back out no charge, BYOK (or we'll supply a rental kayak). CKF Schools are conducted in greater San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles Counties, Malibu, Ventura and Santa Barbara California year `round at the beach, on the bays and at the local lakes. Northern California sessions are seasonal. Sessions are offered for both spincast/conventional and flyfishing anglers and for men, women and children. A solid inshore fishery and balmy days compliment winter fishing on the Southern California coast. Species targeted include California halibut, white sea bass, calico bass, barracuda, yellowtail, thresher and leopard sharks, lingcod, rockfish and more.
**We supply rod and reel outfits if needed, rigged with rod leashes, to our guests at no charge. Clients will be charged for lost outfits at outfitter/sale pricing.
The Kayakfishing.com Schools will provide even the most experienced anglers with the skills needed to take the guesswork out of fishing on a modified kayak.
