About Us
Welcome to La Jolla Kayak Fishing Adventures, San Diego's original kayak
fishing instruction and guide service. Our goal is to teach you all the
tricks of kayak fishing learned over a lifetime of fishing the coasts of
California and Baja.
We call our business an instructional guide service, because instruction is what we are really all about. We want to teach to what you need to learn to do this sport effectively and safely when you are ready to head out on your own.
Owner and guide Jim Sammons, a San Diego California native, has spent most of his life on or near the water. Receiving his first kayak as a gift over twenty years ago, he has never looked back. Starting La Jolla Kayak Fishing guide service in 1996, Jim has been on the leading edge of this fast growing sport. As a California Department of Fish and Game, licensed, and International Game fish Association certified guide Jim has all the qualifications you will need in a guide and instructor.
At La Jolla Kayak Fishing Adventures we want to share our passion for
this sport with you. We offer local guided kayak fishing trips to La
Jolla or San Diego Bay, Surf, Safety and Paddle skills classes and Eco
tours to view the Gray whales during their migration.. For those looking
to take the next step we have trips into Baja in search of big game from
the kayaks.
Jim holds the distinction of landing the first, and only locally caught
Marlin from a kayak, and has guided more clients onto Billfish from a
kayak than any other guide in the world.
No matter what your skill level we have a trip for you, bass in the bay, and yellowtail in La Jolla or Big Game in Baja. Our goal is to show you a great time in a very safe manner.
We cater to all levels of kayakers and fishermen. Private lessons and small group sessions are available.
For our local trips all equipment is provided. All you need to bring is your lunch, fishing license and your spirit of adventure. We feature only the finest equipment, such as: Ocean Kayak brand kayaks, Shimano fishing equipment and bait tanks, Extrasport paddle wear, Werner paddles, Humminbird fish finders, Scotty rod holders, and much more.
Our trips cover everything from basic paddling skills, launching and landing through the surf zone, and how to set up your kayak for optimum fishing performance. We will teach you techniques for fishing off the kayak for species such as Calico bass, Yellowtail, Halibut, Barracuda, Bonita and much more. Our Baja trips give you the chance to target big game such as Tuna, Dorado, Roosterfish and even Billfish all under the watchful eye of your guide in a support boat. We even video tape our Baja trips so you can relive your adventure with your friends when you return.
All classes and trips are limited to small groups so we can provide the utmost attention to our clients. We also personalize the sessions to our client's individual needs and interests.
