Cabrillo 1/22/11 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

GregAndrew · 01-23-2011, 01:52 PM

Nice day on the water. Great to meet some new faces. Might have been a little better without all that bright moon the few days prior, but still some fish to be had. Congrats on the yak PB Eric. It is a good thing that X-Factor was released, I think they are out of season. Matt, stay focused on 18 or 21, just switch pounds for inches.

Quick question. Im just getting setup for yak fishin. Grew up in the southeast bass and trout fishing, Have basically ZERO saltwater fishing. I have bass and trout setups but what would be a good economical setup that could be used for Halibut rod, reel and line weight? Right now I intend to stick to inshore fishing until I get more comfortable with the yak and gear, Also I have a bunch of big hammer swimbaits, is that good just for bass or are you guys catching halibut off those also. Thanks in advance from the newbie

I agree with Hunters Pa. You should start a new thread. There are plenty of folks that can help and are more knowledgeable if you post in the "General Discussion." A quick response from me would be to get a combo that can handle 15-20lb. A Penn Jigmaster is a good all around reel.

You mean like a monthly get together/jackpot and maybe a pot luck afterward........ridiculous!

Haha...I hope the Baytubers put on some more tournaments in Cabrillo.

There were alot of shorts caught. I think theluckypig released two legals as well...

PedalGuy Rick took home a 27 or so incher also. And Heather, aka Mrs. LuckyPig caught a 23 for sure.

LOL!!! I didn't expect that response in a 100 years!

I told my wife that my kayak was cursed and she burst out laughing and told me i can not get a third kayak.

I really need to break that curse, i have only been fishing for 2 months and the only fish i have caught was those suicidal mackerel on my sabiki rig in Newport Beach.

My wife also had a feeling that i was not going to catch anything and was waiting at home to go buy some fish tacos.
