First Time Ocean yak fishing questions...
1) I see everyone say that you should turn your fish ID off on your FF. Why is that? 2) What is the best most effective way to rig live bait? If I want to go deep, should I use a 2oz sinker? Carolina rigged? Dropper loop with a 40 oz? or stick to fly lining? Which brings me to my next question 3) I keep seeing people say dont do a basic dropper loop. Do a spider hitch dropper loop. Someone tried explaining it but it sounded way confusing and I cant find a visual online. 4) do La Jolla kelp beds have decent calicos? I was thinking of bringing a lighter setup in case my YT ventures don't succeed. 5) Im going to be in a 12 footer (tarpon 120 hull). Any tips on managing a smaller yak out there?

Fish ID will show you a fish icon for everything it pings off of between you and your boat. Finding fish by arches is the reliable method. The arch you see on your FF is based on the size of the fishes air bladder.

My Son has the Tarpon 120 and he had no problems getting out and around there. Although on his way in he didn't manage the wave ride as good as he should've. Make sure everything is stored away or leashed when landing and have your paddle ready to counter steer the ride. You'll be fine.

[QUOTE=October;130251]If your FishID is on, then it might be a fish or might not. More than likely, yes. If you want to be sure, turn FishID off and find the arches.
