Yes I keep the motor running the whole time I am out there. Rockfish structures are usually pretty small. The current/wind will carry the Solo out of position very quickly. I would have to turn the motor on/off all the time. If I am drifting for Halibut, I would definitely turn the engine off. I have been fishing with the motor on for over a year and the motor is still running very well. I flushed the motor, run the gas out and drain the carb after every use. I change the motor oil every three months. Spark plugs and lower unit oil are changed every season.

Thank you, John. Redondo canyon is pretty wide and deep. There's no doubt there are giants down there. I spend a lot time last year exploring the canyon. There are so much structure and rockfish are everywhere and some have great quality size rockfish.

John, I leave the motor running all day. I have a 1.5gal gas tank and still have almost half a gallon left after about 6 hours on the water, and I run all over the canyon. I have a Tohatsu, with an original 5hp. I replaced the carb to increase it to a 6hp.

Im fairly new to fishing redondo, would you mind sharing what depths you were looking for in the canyon? ive peddaled around the canyon once, and just ended up feeling kinda lost. ended up going out to shallower waters and bumped into some sculpin

You can find Rockfish from 150ft to 600ft (max depth allowed) in Redondo but I usually stays between 250ft and 450ft. I like deeper areas because less people fish it. Once weather gets warmer and calmer, I will be hitting the 450ft to 600ft areas to see what's down there. I am sure there are monsters sizes to be had. The shallower areas has been over fished so you will mostly find smaller sizes. I find they are most active when the current is moving from NW to SE. The current kicks up debris so you want to be on the south side of the canyon.
Check out Honeybadger Voodoo on Youtube. He have some very informative video specifically for the Redondo canyon. He's the reason I got in to kayak fishing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPgDEjf0k8I |

Thanks John. I've got those Volcanic Reefs marked, but it is 10-12 miles out so I have not attempt it yet. I need a buddy with a Solo or Inflatable to go with me. Maybe I will try it alone when there is a flat day.
