Hello everyone,

I just relocated to Kitsap County, Washington and I look forward to learning more about kayak fishing in the ocean. I am used to fishing from a kayak in lakes and reservoirs, but I see that the ocean is a whole different game. Hopefully I can meet up with some of you in the future!

Thanks,
Jon

Big difference between the ocean and puget sound, but it’s a great place to get your salt wetting. Keep an eye out for local outings. Would appreciate a beverage sometime talking about lake experiences.

I guess I'm showing my inexperience with the area. When I use the term "ocean", I basically mean salt water, Puget Sound included. It annoys locals, including my wife; when they say ocean, they mean Washington Coast like Oceans Shores. Either way I agree that the Puget Sound is a better place to learn how to kayak fish in saltwater.

Takes a little time lol...I now laugh when friends from the Midwest visit and are impressed with how close the “ocean” is, just like I did for a while. Start looking up Puget Sound tide charts and it will come quickly.

Welcome, Jon. Where are you coming from?

Lots of good places around here to get used to saltwater and its tides & currents...  Won't help much if you decide to hit those ocean beaches where you need to do surf launches, but it's a good start.  :)  So where in Kitsap are you?  There are a bunch of us down a bit south of you around Gig Harbor...
