Hello from San Diego
I'm trying to decide between adding a live bait tank or a fish finder plus a few rod holders...any other suggestions would be appreciated. I'm looking forward to going out again soon...maybe I'll see some of you guys out there. Todd Last edited by TmBtc12; 02-01-2013 at 10:56 PM. |

Welcome Todd. We got something in common, I also got tired of renting skiffs in the bay. Good luck out there.

Welcome to the madness!
Fish finder or bait tank? BOTH Of course if your budget will allow........ If you have to pick one based on your budget I'd go with FF because you can fish plastics, irons, or frozen bait. BUT..... you can also get a bait tube, they arent expensive at all and then you can have a place to keep your macs alive until you get the funds for a tank with pump. See ya OTW, Mike |

Welcome to bwe. Get the bait tank first you can always follow someone else who has a fish finder. Wait for March on the fish finder as fred hall show is just around the corner lots of good deals to be had.

Thanks for the warm welcome and advice. I'm leaning towards the bait tank. I've been fishing the bays for a while, so I already have my favorite spots. I've always been good at targeting bass in the bays but would like to start going after halibut...and then maybe la jolla once I get used to the kayak.

Welcome. Ur gonna love this. Also, as far as info goes, ur in the right spot. These guys have helped me immensely! One of the first things I bought first is my PFD and my VHF radio. I guess because, even though I have not yet, I have LJ intentions. Safety first. But I got the FF next...Janine

I have a gift certificate for Amazon that will pretty much cover the Hobie bait tank if I want, but I might save it and pick up one made from a 5gal bucket. I've never really caught my own bait with a sabiki rig. If I'm in one of the bays do I just pretty much drop it over the side, or do I drift/troll with it? I guess a fish finder would make it a lot easier to find the baitfish.

Great advice above...
Try to read everything you can on the species you are targeting and go fish as often as you can. Everyday on the water is a learning experience whether you catch a fish or not. The San Diego scene is the best and the people there are even better. |

I just picked up a Hovbie livewell from another forum member and may get some fishing gear from a friend that no longer uses it. What do you guys think of a Calstar gg90j and Newell p338 with carbontex drags, plus a super seeker 270h and all of his irons ($100 worth) in a tackle box all for less thank the retail of one of the rods? Now I should be able to make it out to la jolla sooner than later.
