It is really becoming my go to choice in the harbors for spotties. Even caught calicos and the sandbass in the video. And that thing had a girth on it!
Recently participated in the annual Heroes On the Water Mission Bay Classic kayak fishing challenge. I broke my personal best spotty with three fish consecutively. The biggest at 15.5” and 2.4 lbs. these fish have to be some of the funnest fish to catch.
What do you guys think of the umbrella...
The Bay was great to me. I caugh so many fish in the hour I was there. Tried multiple baits but the umbrella rig was unstoppable. I think I placed ninth in the tournament. I am working on that video now. The wind came up in the afternoon and stopped me from fishing mission bay.
Yea... I was up there the day the storms hit. Fishing was expected to be awesome and then stopped. A few people I talked to caught fish in the stream or small jigs or insect flies, but all in all slow. And CDFW planted thousands of 3-5 pounders in almost all the lakes 3 days before I got there...
Ok, so I fished a dozen or so High Sierra lakes and caught two small rainbows. I tried everything and no luck. But then..... Rawson ponds out of Bishop produced. After a couple days of fishing we caught dozens of large mouth bass and bluegill. This place never fails to produce for me.
Ivhunter thanks for the support. More fishing and outdoor videos to come. Yea... the net... should have gaffed it, but I lost a lingcod last video and thought the net would be better. Next time I use the net, gaff, and fish grips! It won’t get away!
Thank you for subscribing. I was in the USCG - appreciate your service. A couple of these swells kinda made me pucker a little bit. Last year at the Estero Challenge it was 9-12’ and I got sea sick with an hour. I wish I had my cameras set up for that one. I caught a lot of fish though!
Recently finished the Central Coast Slam and had a blast. Caught a lot of bottom fish and I am pretty sure a personal best cabezon. I also lost a 33”+ halibut off the yak. Had 3 great days of fishing! I saw a lot of Lingcod caught, just none by me.
Post tournament some monster fish were caught...
