Great video, as usual! Decided to spend the first day of 2021 out in that same general area riding solo on Friday. I think I saw 1 other guy out there all day. Swell was really big and the wind and currents were substantial. I will say the kelp was looking really thick and flat, off the point, more so than I've seen in a while! Fishing was slow but somehow I managed to snag an old dive bag with a large dive knife still in it...

Curious, are you just tying off to the kelp to anchor in place?

🤣🤣🤣 that’s a crack up! At least you caught something!!🤣

I’m clipping onto the kelp. I run paracord through my anchor trolly and use a “Harbor Freight” plastic clip. It’s a pretty inexpensive way to go.

Nice, I like it. I've considered doing that with like a small carabiner or something similar. Seems the last few times I've been there, the swell has been decent or the currents too strong and I'd be nervous tying up to anything.

Yes the swells been pretty bad lately. As long as you let out enough line to ride over the swell you should be ok.
