who's ready for the 28th - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jorluivil · 09-09-2013, 08:00 PM

Since I'm not fishing this weekend I plan on spending a day or two getting all of my gear in order.

I have about 50lbs of blue fin tuna heads ready to go. I just need to get my gear all patched. I'm going into this season opener with premium bait this yr, lol!

That's an awesome haul, I've only had one or two similar to that. I think I had 5 keepers on this one pull

Still not ready for this season, Macks have been hard to find and nothing in the size I need.

Even finding new nets is an issue most tackle shops still dont have any yet...I guess there was run on them last month. Tho I did find a nice deal at Sav-on tackle on some danielson conical nets, $20 for one or six $100.

Rain or shine I'll be headed out on opening weekend.

Finishing up my custom bait tubes tonight and I have a freezer completely full of bait. All I need now it to finish up my floats and ill be ready to hit the water.

Can't wait for bug season. I have been looking for replacement nets on craigslist for the past few months and it is ridiculous, people asking $50 for an eclipse net, $30 for a flat net. I finally just broke down and bought 2 new eclipse nets for $32 a piece.

Does anyone have any good leads for buying salmon heads in bulk? Last year there was a group buy for dirt cheap and I would love to get in on that.

I'll be dropping nets at Carrillo Beach Sept 27 along the jetty next to the piers @ 11pm and pulling Sept 28 @midnight? Legal to do so?

There's been a lot of talk about this on previous threads. Save yourself the trouble of trying to figure out right from wrong and just drop them after midnight.

Been stocking up on macs for the last 2 months had to buy a chest freezer to keep em all. I just loaded my bait tubes up tonight they are ready to roll now just some work with the nets.....

This might be off topic but can you still hoop the oil islands in Long Beach?

Comanche...Call the L.B Harbor patrol to get your answer...this is a kayak message board filled with a bunch of guys who know everything.
Typical quote..." well I really don't hit the islands myself but I heard they were open."
If you have a question on DFW Regs. or open hooping areas, then call the specific agency to get the straight poop, don't rely on some knuckleheads version! That bad info could lead to confiscated gear or a ticket...either way... a ruined evening.
