Freshwater 101
New to kayak fishing? Just want to increase your knowledge or confidence? This fun and informative 2-day class is for you!
Day 1 starts out with a few hours in the classroom and is followed by several hours on the water. In the classroom we will cover all of the basics from equipment and rigging, tackle considerations, fish handling and storage, and finish with safety and self rescue. In the afternoon we will hit the water and climb all over our yaks and learn their limits in a warm and safe environment. We will finish the day perfecting self-rescue skills.
Day 2 puts our new skills to use as we pursue fish. We will spend a full morning chasing striped bass as a group. Our expert guides will show you everything you need to know to target these great fish. Day 2 is wrapped up with a delicious shore lunch and social.
While we recommend that you get familiar with your boat and equipment we have kayaks and equipment available at no additional cost if you have not yet taken the plunge!
Class size limited to 10 people.
Saltwater 101
If you have completed FW101 and are ready to go to the next level this class is for you. We will spend 2 days on the coast covering the additional skills you will need to safely chase big fish on big blue.
Day 1 will start in the classroom going over important things you need to consider before hitting the salt. We will discuss equipment, safety, weather, and tides. In the afternoon we will spend several hours in the water putting that knowledge to use. We will start out learning to launch and land in small shorebreak. Once we are able to confidently go “outside” the sets we will learn how to stow and recover our gear on the water.
Day 2 is spent in pursuit of fish! We will launch through the surf and head out after rockfish and lingcod. Our experienced guides will show you everything you need to know to target these fish as well as handle, select, and subdue a “keeper”. Day 2 is wrapped up with a delicious shore lunch and social.
Class size limited to 5 people.
