The Powerpro thing...
Ever see Shimano stuff on sale? Probably not unless it will be a discontinued item and not without corporate permission. "Suggested retail price"... that's how they spell "price fixing" in the U.S. Most all do it, I guess Charkbait learned a hard lesson, and now trys to undercut that lowest price (e.g. Avet) by adding extra goodies like free line, free reel cover, etc.

Bait tanks are best but a bait tube will hold 5-6 macs and can be made for about $10. Other LJ table fare? T-shark, rockfishes, bonita, and (surprisingly good) barracuda. A buddy swears by leopard shark but I'm not interested!

Good point ill probably start with a tube until i get comfortable with the area
I see you all talking about macks what they ? Im familiar with spanish mackerel and king mackerel when I google it those are the ones that seem to come up am I missing something? thank you! I was wondering if anyone can share some good areas to launch from and some tips on that. REading past posts I can see it gets crowded quick what days are better to fish? Or all they all pretty much busy? I know getting there early will help but any other tips would be greatly appreciated. Oscar |

mac's is short for mackerel, we have two varieties we use for bait, jack mac's and pacific mac's or greenback's, greenies most people prefer the greenies, they are heartier there is a public launch at la jolla where you can drive on the beach and unload/load your yak. it's also a prime fishing grounds once you get past the no take zone( MLPA), which is from the beach to about 3/4 mile off the beach. up top is a link to the web cam at LJ http://www.bigwatersedge.com/index.p...lashoreswebcam it gets crowded during the summer but it will be slowing down soon

i use saber strokers, there cheap and have a parabolic bend like the old school glass rods, i have a 6'6 20-50 and an 8' pro 20-40 that i cut the butt down to 7' that has carbon and glass. you can get them at big 5
i have those matched to sealines and penns. my favorite reel is a shimano 1000 charter special, lever drag, level wind and graphite body, holds up well in the salt and is a great size for a jig stick. for bass i go with either shimano rods or ugly stiks and baitcaster type reel. im sure most of the gear you have will work.

I have Sabiki Stick Squid maker/Surface Iron stick Bait stick Bait/yoyo stick light weight fun bass stick Lately people at the launch have been asking me "How do you get by with only two rods" I say "I need one to make bait, one to catch fish" I could theoretically use one, but I like making bait with a line out |

are you going to be interested in hooping (lobster netting)? if you are? i have some old hoops nets you can use, hell might give them to you if you like doing it. hooping is at night and usually in shallower waters. let me know and i'll keep them so you can try it out. lobster tags are $8 for the last half of the season, then $8 for the whole next year.

I love my OK Trident 13l. Works great in the California waters and is pretty quick. They weight is good for me and easy to move around. Those damn PA's look real nice though...

I want to get back on a Hobie but i'm hessitant because of my knee surgeries I had a Pa and an outback but because of my injury they were to painful to peddle. This surgery has me feeling better but im not confident yet |

fish bags are a nice! i use wet burlap bags to keep the fish fresh. game clips are good for securing, bleeding and then dragging them on board and into the fish bag, especially halibut that can freak out when brought out of the water .
handle the fish the way your used to, you'll be fine

Lol tried that its what lead to my third surgery but I think it was more of the loading and unloading of the PA?..
