Alameda Rock Wall Halibut Fishing: Double Limit

Went out to Alameda Rock Wall with The Lost Anchovy again for some halibut action. The tide and the weather were perfect for halibut fishing.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks. I almost want to say, you need a faster kayak in the bay than out in the ocean. The current is faster in the bay, especially when you have to paddle against the typical bay wind.

[@ahhdat]

@@MooMooOutdoors thanks. I never kayak fish in the ocean before. After watching all your ocean videos, I wanna try in the future. Maybe I might get hobie outback since it's a little more stable. Maybe I can join you in the future for a great day of fishing = )

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thank you Sir

[@DriftmanX]

So many barely under shakers last spring, hoping for great season this coming spring. Btw do you normally troll with/against current?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

It a good sign that there are a lots of undersized butts. From my experience, with or against tide didn't make too much difference. Trolling speed did seem to make difference. It seemed like around 1.5 to 2 mph was the sweet spot.

[@DriftmanX]

Thanks for the tip. You and TLA are always great about giving tips and interacting with everyone. Keep it up and I’ll be looking forward to more videos from you two.

[@Ojosraros23]

can you fit 30 - 36 inch Halibut into the front hatch on the Revo 13??

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yes I pretty sure

[@_Tang0_]

Ive heard it’s better to cut the tail when bleeding because the blood drains straight down. Is there any truth to that or is it basically the same thing?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I think cutting the gill is better because it's like cutting a carotid artery, blood pumps out faster since it's closer to the heart. We do cut the tail on top of cutting the gills on longer/bigger fish like a sturgeon to bleed them better.

[@cmgoulart]

what a great day Moo ! nice limit and nice work with the SCOTTY rocket launcher

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Hey Carlos, have you been on the water lately?

[@cmgoulart]

Good day of fishing. Way to go Moo! ;-) See you in HMB at some point for salmon.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yes. Are you fishing for butts?

[@shotgunaaron]

@@MooMooOutdoors: I haven't thus far. Once of these days I'll get around to hitting Oyster Point. Not far from where I live. I'm just not a huge fan of fishing the bay... Not the cleanest place to fish and eat if you know what I mean :-( But I have been hitting HMB and Santa Cruz for rockfish on a regular basis and that one keeper ling. Been having a blast. Next Tuesday 2 of us are going to hit HMB for dungees out of our yaks and hopefully catch a few. Then I'll clean out the freezer and have a meal of rockfish and crabs w/ the parents, sister, and brother-in-law... gnom gnom.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

@@shotgunaaron Pretty soon there will be butts in Santa Cruz if they are not there already

[@FishNinjaY]

Another nice vid.. what size hooks/trebles you rigging? I'm thinking #1 or 1/0? And at least 12oz?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I use 2/0 J hook and 2 treble. I use 12 oz but my buddy uses 8 oz. Thanks

[@FishNinjaY]

MooMoo Outdoors .. thx. I am going to try your brine bait next time I have extra bait or find frozen. You make your own halibut trap rig? Is that pool noodle on your rod and TLA to keep them from sinking if drops or u roll your kayak? Good ideas.. 🤔

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yes I tie my own butt rigs. TLA uses pool noodle and I use 1/2 pipe insulation as rod float. It's cheap and works.

[@nathannelson5026]

Hey man. I’m thinking about taking my lifetime tamarak to the roll wall this upcoming season. Do you have to worry about sharks?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Don't take this the wrong way. I'm just looking out for your safety. Shark is the least of your concern. The wind, wind chop (wave) and the current is what you have to look out for. Lifetime Tamarack is pretty slow kayak. I have many friends (who were on not very efficient kayaks) that have struggled to get back to the launch when the wind and the current was against them. Therefore, I do not recommend Lifetime Tamarack in the bay unless you are very experienced paddler. Yes of course, on a low current/wind day you are totally fine but the condition can change very quick. So, If you do go out, I recommend staying closer to the launch. To answer your original question, I never heard of any shark incidents in the bay but they are there.

[@nathannelson5026]

@@MooMooOutdoors thank you for the input man. I know it could be pretty rough so I would probably only go out on calm days with little swell and I would most likely stay close to the rock wall. I’ve fished all over Santa Cruz on the tamarak and on days with no wind it gets the job done. Hopefully I can get out there this season on a good day and get on them🤙🏼

[@nathannelson5026]

@@MooMooOutdoors would you say the bay or the open ocean gets more rough on a kayak?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

@@nathannelson5026 Open ocean of course, but the current is stronger in the bay. I have drifted above 3.5 mph in the bay against the current and the wind before. Sounds like you have some experience with the tamarack in the ocean and know what you are doing.

Shimano Trevala 7' ML

[@carloadapimps6870]

By all means...please bring your conservator/stewardship up a notch or two...get rid of that large mesh net in favor of a fine mesh landing net...what is happening is the tails of the halibut are being SPLIT, which doesn't heal, but ROTS. When you release a short with such tail damage, survival is unlikely.

Just to let you know I don't net shakers or any fish that I'm sure of being a keeper.
