Leo Carillo Over Labor Day - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Lots of good fishing up that way. Bouncing swimbaits on the bottom will work well. I'd recommend warbaits or other weedless type baits though since there are lots of hangups. Another really productive method I've been using a lot lately is a drop shot with a 5" jerkshad/fluke. Rockfish love it and you'll also catch lings, bass and halis with it. Make sure you have the bait rigged weedless and drop it right in the holes in the kelp.

The wind usually blows out of the north, so I usually paddle north and fish my way back with the wind.

Hit me up with any other questions or if you need someone to fish with. Hopefully the water warms up a bit. My FF was reading 62-64 all day yesterday.

Good luck!
