Winter Fishing Technique for La Jolla
I bought some 4.5oz Megabait lead lures for yo-yo'ing, and I have an assortment of squid lures. The guys at Squidco (Joey) recommended the Megabait with a single large hook over those with treble hooks. My bottom fishing rig for live bait is a 3-way swivel with a torpedo weight on about 8-10" on one swivel and a 5' leader on the other. What do you expect to do differently between now and the beginning of next summer?

Treble hooks for everything but seabass man. When the yellows are going apeshit on the jig I've strung em just about everywhere but the mouth...

I usually bring a 6 pack of blue moon for winter trip. And a squid sabiki. Oh and dress warm, the nights get cold.

Go ahead and do yourself a favor and buy some heavy jigs. My favorites are a blue/white Tady 4/0 or Salas 6x. They've been nibbling those real good these past few weeks. If your arms get tired downgrade to a 160g flat fall or a 6xjr. Wind fast and hold on tight.
But like Dannowar said, when they are stacked your probably gonna find yourself foul hooking one more than them actually choking the jigs.

Typically move well off the kelp looking for deep structure. Last year 160 feet was the place to be. Salas 6X and 6X Jr in blue and white or blue mac proven winners. Your 3 way swivel set up has been my choice over dropper loop fishing. I would be surprised to see coastal squid in any number this year. There is probably still a few more weeks of good surface fishing possibilities though.

For deep yellowtail the banjo minnow or helicopter lure are proven.......

I launched this thread to see what others have to say. There is a wealth of information amongst kayak fishermen and other kindred spirits. What were the highlights you learned that night from Kevin Nakada? (www.seasamurai.com) Do you have more informative events like that scheduled? Thank you for that. I like the meetings you've been putting together. Meeting with the Shimano reel expert was another excellent evening.

I'm just glad he asked this so I didn't have to. Plenty of new guys this year (me included) that love this info.
And I just might be bringing my roland martins OTW for some mackerel...maybe?? |

Thank you. Snagging fish makes sense too.
--- What is the benefit of a large single hook on a Megabait? Anyone know? Does it swim differently? BTW, Joey (Owner, I think) has a sale coming up at Squidco between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 25% off gift certificates. It helps, probably both ways at that time of year. I bought two rods and a reel from him yesterday to freshen up my arsenal, but I have my eye on a replacement for my main La Jolla rod and reel. I might buy myself a gift certificate. Why not? (Disclaimer: No, I don't know him. I'm not spamming for him. Just passing along information to kindred fisherfriends. He has always been good to me when I go there. No further connection. He doesn't know me from a hole in the ground.)

My wintertime technique is layered clothing and bringing my splash jacket out of the closet.

Get your sonar dialed in so that you can find fish.
Drop jr. Sized iron on fish and turn the handle. Repeat. |
