NPH/Corona Del Mar 3/16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

45user · 03-16-2014, 09:09 PM

It was a beautiful day to be out fishing and I guess other kayak fishermen thought the same. I saw maybe a dozen of us out there today. Fished around 175-190' deep for handful of dinky rockfish but managed to keep a few for dinner. Saw few whales passing by and one of them sneaked up on me and sacred the heck out of me haha
Beautiful day out!

Any Love on that Lucanus Jig???

45user · 03-17-2014, 09:16 AM

All were caught on lucanus
I used dropper loop briefly then switched over to lucanus and stayed with it

Hondatom · 03-17-2014, 01:07 PM

There was a crapload of whales out there that day. I had one cruse right under me and another breach 10 yards off my bow. It was the coolest thing I have seen in years.
Caught a couple of keepers to top off the day.

We were out there too, launched pretty late (10am) so we had a tough bite.

Ran into the Grey Whales as well, pretty rad!
