I like to go out as much as possible and ran into the problem of knowing noone with a kayak. So I bought another one to take out to invite people. Now trying to match the tides/timing when people are available is a pita. Seems it is best to hit the water a couple hours before low and get boths sides. Is there somewhere that is a little more…dependable…that works for a kayak in any tide/daytime?
BTW, awesome trip with Carter other than the paddle breaking on the way in. Learned a lot(including take a backup paddle) although I have caught nothing worth talking about since…just great to be on the water.
I am always up to meet someone for a trip by the way…
If everyone where a genious, there would be none.
Every place is different. You have to put the tiem in and find your spots. You’ll learn where to fish at different stages of the tide. Thats how we all learned… time on the water…

Where do you live? I’m always looking for someone to fish with when I am in town. But I stay in HHI, so CHS is a bit of a hike; do-able, but still about 2 hrs each way. I usually fish the HHI and Beaufort waters.
If you’re lucky enough to be fishing, you’re lucky enough.
I live in Charleston and fishing usually in Mt P/Wando areas. I love kayak fishing but I am just going through some boat withdrawals… Used to running around quickly and not worrying about tides so much. Now there is a little more planning and a MUCH larger learning curve. If you are in town I would love to meet up for a trip. Just leave a message. One of the best comments I have seen on here was I believe Nikonjedi “Welcome to your new addiction”. My wife is tired of me going out I’m sure. She will get over it right…?

Sent you an e-mail reply. I do like kayak fishing, but I have to admit that when I can get a flats boat the yak won’t be used very often.
