Thank you!

Thank you!

lol that’s a pretty old video. It’s definitely an eyesore😵‍💫

@@SouthwestKayakFishing seriously I don't go that much but that thing is definitely an eyesore

There are plenty of halibut to be caught. Good luck!🐟

Very cool!

Thanks Bro! See you down south soon 🤙

@SouthwestKayakFishing let me know whenever you head down to pt Loma or mission bay and I'm there!

@sandog I’m so aching to soak a line. I’ll message you when we plan on heading out your way.

You’re welcome! Hope it helps with setting your trailer up. Good luck!

Hope to see you on the water this season Manny

@@SouthwestKayakFishing Nice, appreciate your service shipmate.

Thank you! I’m hoping after the next few storms pass we’ll get some sunny days with mild temps. I’m aching to get back out there!

lol nothing special

Thanks! Message me next time you go.

@@SouthwestKayakFishing I’ll let you know for sure! 👍 Thank you 😊

@@Adankayak sounds good!

A fishy day is a good day!

Hope to catch you in Tampa this spring!

Thank you! 🤙

lol way too many !!😂

Thanks Mike, Merry Christmas! Hope Santa has some new fishing gear for you!😎

Thanks Quang, hopefully I’ll be getting out there more often.

Sounds good Trey. Hopefully the winds won’t be as bad as last weekend!😎😳

You can’t miss them if you fish off Doheny with sardines. They’re actually a real pain! One of the guys shared a Leopard Shark steak with me. Let’s just say that it wasn’t all that great. CPR is a better option for them.

Well there are lots of reasons people enjoy kayak fishing and there are lots of practical reasons for having one. Storage space, rental cost for storage, and transportation play a big role for owning either a boat or kayak. Some advantages to owning a kayak is being on the water having peace and quiet instead of having to listen to an engine. Another is being able to get into places a boat can’t such as a kelp bed. Generally speaking kayaks are less expensive to buy and maintain than motorized boats. A few disadvantages are limited deck space and storage. Another would be the distance that you could cover. I’m sure there are another million pros and cons depending on who you talk to.

@@SouthwestKayakFishing yeah. I may have to try one some day. I have a small inflatable boat and it isn’t perfect either. The only thing I think about when I watch the kayak videos tho is how cumbersome it looks not being able to stand up or move. Maybe it’s just a form of claustrophobia I have or something.

This video is one of my favorites. I love spending time in San Diego bay! Too bad it’s so far from us, but I used to go the once a month to target Spotties and Butts. Hopefully we can all make it down there during the winter and spring. It’s totally worth the drive. I usually stay in the bay and really haven’t been to LJ to look for YT. Maybe one day.

@@SouthwestKayakFishing thank you!

Good old days! Maybe we need to get back to the beach and do some R&R fishing 😉

Yes, there are a few reefs and rock piles off the beach but they’re not known to have Sheephead on them. The closest productive ones are just right out of the harbor near the white and red buoys. If you want to find a better Sheephead bite you need to go north to the kelp beds just off the strand and salt creek. Good luck!🍀

Thank you!! Stick around, the summer season has just started and the bite is getting better!

Hopefully next time! It seems like every time I head out to the pipe the wind picks up and makes it a real pain in the a$$ to get back in. I wouldn’t mind heading out there on a low wind day.

@@SouthwestKayakFishing Haha, yeah there's a few times where I've done .3 mph speed over ground the whole way back at full stride and it's not fun.

LOL

Thanks Mike!

Thanks for your concern, but you should know Leopard Shark have “very” small teeth. Yes it does make good content and after boating dozens of these I feel quite safe handling them, and I feel responsible for removing the hook.

Next time, but you had a pretty good look at that inshore Thresher👍 They fight SO much stronger than Leopard sharks. Hopefully we’ll both get some soon. See you on the beach💪

Thanks my friend. Hope to see you out there.

Possibly, it was out in the middle of the road when I found it and it didn’t try to get away

Not actually too close but in over 400’ and then we went in closer but the fish were much smaller

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!🤙

Not for the ocean but for fresh water but it’s best to check the DFW website for more info. Also, it would really be problematic fishing with a second rod in deep water for rockfish.

We were up there north of the point today. It was pretty tough fishing for everyone. I only managed two short Sheep. There is red tide out of the harbor all the way up to the point and the water temp was 58°

@Southwest Kayak Fishing yeah that red tide was gnarly today - I was out for half of the day and had a few tail swipes at doheny but no fish there. Couple barracuda on the way back in with a jerkbait but they was it. Rough day for everyone I talked to! Gonna try again tomorrow.

Thanks Jonathan! Please have a look at my video list. The majority of them take place right on Doheny beach and north to Salt Creek.

Hey thanks Dean, it was nice to meet you and Steve. Did you guys stay in the harbor or go out and target Rock fish?

@@SouthwestKayakFishing we went out and rockfished, just south of you guys I think. Got some nice reds out there, was a great day on the water.

Cool! The rockfish were pretty much on the chew after that extra month off lol
