    If one can find places to fish the ocean in a kayak.....how about my little 8' foam filled boat? I love it. I don't think you can sink it or capsize it. I have rigged an anchor for boaf ends of the boat with rope ratchets. All I have to do to drop one of the anchors is push a button. All I have to do to move is pull on the rope till the anchor is up out of the water and the rope ratchet automatically latches....and I just lay the rope down in the boat.Question is this. I have terribly bad feet discomfort when standing. So fishing from the shore would be a pain for me.

    Those crashing waves are the result of swells. Those swells which are not consistent in size or frequency will swamp your small anchored boat.
    Kayaks and Pontoons in the ocean are one thing, been there done that. But I would never take my 8' western into the ocean.

    Best, Dave
