The Game Warden Showed Up, But We Caught Plenty of Sheephead For A Catch And Cook!” - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Southwest Kayak Fishing · 03-13-2021, 08:07 PM

Location: Dana Point, CA...the Strand!

It was opening day for Rock Fish so I decided to target Sheephead as usual. I didn’t limit or have a steady bite, but the fish I caught were all about quality!

My stringer was 13”, then 15”, 15.5”, & 17”. Not too bad! The Game Warden came for a visit but all was good to go.

I was using market shrimp for bait. My setup was basically a knocker rig consisting of a 1/0 light wire circle hook, 3/4 oz egg sinker, and a bead.

Creating fishing videos are pretty amazing but time consuming to put together, yet I truly love making and sharing them with all of you. I love being on the water and I want you to see what I see!

Thank you!

I was just lucky enough to catch a break in the weather. I passed on this weekend. The swells were up and were in close sets. Hopefully next weekend will be better.

Always a welcome sight for me, Game wardens rock, just wish we had more to preserve / protect this awesome West Coast fishery.
