Asking for a friend. Really !
After leaving me flat in Matzohpizza and both of us selling our stinkboats 2 and 3 years ago, he is now exploring the possibilities of kayak fishing the sound in his area around Ridge/Rocky Point and seems to feel Port Jeff might be his best option. Yes he is a tiny bit older than I, but in terrific and much better shape, bicycling and walking miles daily. Besides access (as in what is available for a put in ) he questions whether he needs a pedal yak to allow transiting the Port Jeff harbor/inlet. Anyone who has read my intro knows I am a bare bones yakker, shunning pedals and electronics, and being small and in my early 70s using only the 20% lighter (49 lb. but 12'8" Skimmer) thermomolded yaks, specifically those made by Hurricane Aquasports in NC, my advice and guidance was and is somewhat limited. Soooo:
1. where are access sites for kayak launching in the area ?
2. suggested size and attributes of a kayak for fishing there ?
TIA but be prepared for follow up questions !
"Once you yak, you don't go back !"
