Bassin' North DP 2/16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Scuba · 02-16-2010, 03:26 PM

What's up LJ Kayakers!

Gotta start by saying I'm super jealous of all you guys and your huge YT's and Threshers that you pull in on a regular basis.

but bass are cool too!! haha!..

anyway, my name's Steve. I fish mostly in the OC area on a disabled Hobie Outback, nice to meet ya!. . .

Yesterday I paddled out a little later in the day to some of my favorite spots. I cruised from rock reef to kelp bed to boiler rock and back...ended up finding a dozen or more medium sized bass and got one big Calico, that guy made my day!

I fish mostly plastics and crank baits. But this season I plan on trolling around a live Mackerel more often in hopes of finally catching one of those beautiful Thresher Sharks.

Here's some photos...

Way to go and nice photos. I was there the day before with similar results. It surprised me that the temp was up to 59* and some big bass were hungry!

Nice job on those bass. That toad sure looks like
it put up a nice fight.

The swells in Dana have kept me away from the
southern coastline, but right off the long jetty
I found some fat sandys also...

The halibut bite was on a couple days ago; the rake
marks were deep. I think the warmer water may
turn our winter into something special.

I know the Halibut crew have been spending quite of
bit of time on the search...
