Inshore or offshore........

[JP5_Wunder_Yak]

I usually fish inshore, in the inlets and bays of Virginia Beach. I heard some guys talking about offshore kayak fishing today........They were talking of Sharks, Striper, Cobia. Anyone ever done offshore fishing in this or any other area. What different gear or actions do I need to take to catch these bigger fish??????

well i have been a few times here in jacksonville it can be alot of fun but just as frusterating!!
make sure you are a good paddler and comfortable in falling out becasue it will probly happen in the breakers so on your first trip i would only bring no more that 2 poles and very few gear make sure everything is tied down and think about how you will get back on if you capsize... going out isnt to bad i only flipped once and there was like 12 foot swells but coming in is a diffrent story the waves will twist you so i paddle in backwards much easier!!!!
as far as fishing goes use your kayak as an advantage dont go to far and try not to go alone sharks are a blast but think about what your going to do with a shark in your kayak?? cobia are great to talk to local fisherman about tactics and ways to fish beyond the breakers... i know here in jax i drive around till i find pogy pods this time of year and the only do i go out when i see the pods where i catch tarpon kingfish and somtimes jacks good luck!!
