Experience the adventure of fishing from your own kayak…

On scenic Monterey Bay, we’ll fish for Rock Fish, including Ling Cod, Cabezon, just to mention a few.  Locally, Halibut and Striped Bass are often an option.  (seasonal…of course)  We are totally outfitted and offer tours taking you out to the best spots where you will see and fish from a unique perspective.

Our kayak fishing tours are the ultimate way to feel like you are part of nature by getting closer to fish and the vast wildlife than you thought possible. Contact us to book your privately guided kayak fishing adventure tour.

About Us

Monterey Bay Kayak Fishing Co. is the evolution of one local recreational fisherman who has spent more than 25 years fishing Monterey Bay, the last eight years fishing from my kayaks. It can’t be beat.

My girlfriend Hally suggested that I’d do well to somehow apply my passion. Having acquired plenty of equipment over the years, I began inviting others- my son Gabriel, Hally, relatives, friends or anyone else remotly interested- to join me on the water. What a concept!

Having access to some of the best fishing areas right here in our own backyard, in the least invasive and most responsible manner we’d fish the kelp forests. Such places as Stillwater Cove and off of Cannery Row for numerous types of rock fish (vermillion, coppers, olives, blues, yellows and ling cod, just to name a few). I enjoy all on the dinner table. Or the sandy beaches off Del Monte Beach for halibut.

With this kind of access to parts of our bay so special and teeming with wildlife, we find ourselves consumed with the experience and, better yet, wanting to be part of keeping it this way. Twelve months later, I find myself a fully licensed kayak fishing guide who’s outfitted and equipped to guide others who may share my passion.

Monterey Bay Kayak Fishing Co. allows me to do what I love!

Farley
My name is Farley. I’ve fished most of my life, but had nevergone fishing with a guide before. Then, one day, I saw a stranger with a fishing kayak on top of his vehicle and started asking him about it. It turned out that he (Blake) was a fishing guide and he was so willing to share his knowledge and was so friendly that I later decided to book a trip with him. He made me feel like an old friend of his and made the trip that much more enjoyable because of it. He also knows how to catch the fish and how to find them when they aren’t around. I look forward to going out with him again.

Hally
Hi! I’m Hally Hoang and as an environmentalist and adventurer, I believe that kayak fishing Monterey Bay and its environment is the best way to get up close to the sea life and scenery in a peaceful, noninvasive way. I’ve been out on the water with Blake many times and have found him to be the perfect companion for enjoying all this wonderfully scenic area has to offer.

Tony
I was blown away by how fun Blake’s kayak fishing outing was. We had a really invigorating, scenic kayak ride out to the fishing area, had fun catching lots of great, large, good-eating fish, and paddled back along another scenic Monterey Bay route. This is anexperience you will enjoy and remember for a long time!
