Double Rig fishing: The Strategy for Catching More Calico Bass! | San Diego, CA

[@jocqui541]

Could you do a video on tying that double rig

[@WARBAITS]

I believe there is an explanation at the end of this video

[@rcastillo6860]

Great video

[@thatfisherman1765]

Nice fish, the boat is the best kind of warbaits video. But all of them are the best😀

[@WARBAITS]

Thanks!

[@thatfisherman1765]

Your welcome, any time

[@619SixFour]

What is your criteria for heading out, weather wise? What apps do you check? What swell, wind, and wave height do you look for?

I will look at it though to know what is going on. If I am headed to one of the islands or tuna fish, I pay very close attention

@@WARBAITS Went out today and killed on your Spinner Blade in Silver Shad! Thanks bro. Went to the same area as you too. Took my son, nephew, and brother in law. Good time man. All on WarBaits!

[@Static_MK3Focus]

Good fish Afran! Went and made a run out to horseshoe kelp just outside of Long Beach, Waited 30 minutes in line for bait, and made a run out there. Ran into a few bass... Saw 2 good size yellows that passed up my iron, but i did run into a huge school of cuda that stuck around and was jumping out of water slashing on the chum, caught about 15 or 20 short ones on lures that went back, and i took 2 legal ones for dinner. The best part was i was the only boat out there

[@WARBAITS]

That sounds awesome!

[@mikeroll9868]

Great video Afran. Iam a long time boater with captains license. You set a great example for all of these young guys and girls. I love seeing you wearing an inflatable PFD when you are solo. The gas is a major problem on boats now with ethanol. It goes bad in 2 months and separates and attracts water hence clogging the carbs and fuel filters. Short of draining it and using it up in your car after each trip it’s hard to deal with. A preservative helps but if you let your boat sit too long it still goes bad. This problem is costing boater millions of dollars in damage. Non ethanol fuel is the answer and people have tried to get it passed for boaters. So make some noise about changing fuel for boaters.

[@WARBAITS]

Thank you for the kind words! Do you think using a fuel additive like HEET will help?

[@mikeroll9868]

WARBAITS FISHING sorry for the slow reply. I think Marine Stabil is good. If you can use the boat regularly you should have no problem with the gas. The problem is it separates in less than 2 months with out additive and may be good for 6 months to a year with additive. If you can drain the carb bowls after using that will help protect the carbs from gumming up.

[@SDFishGuessWhoMeAgain]

Monday kayak fishing in la Jolla; 2 calico 17+ inches. 6 calico/spotted bass 12-. 4 white fish, 4 rock fish 12+. All in 2 hours NO electronics. I use 3 hook with cut mackerel on the bottom and 1ounce sport fish chovi hook up baits. Nothing else.

[@WARBAITS]

Thanks fro the report!

[@blitzburg71]

Anyone else besides me let out an audible “yessss” whenever a Warbaits video notification goes off?

[@jaxdeclan5266]

A trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@crosbytristen1153]

@Jax Declan yup, been watching on Flixzone} for months myself =)

[@SDkd619]

How are you using the double rig is that a 3 way swivel ? Or you cut a Bimini in half ?

[@WARBAITS]

You can use a three way swivel. I like using the double swivel method

[@SDkd619]

I need to try that . Looks like fun.

[@gregduenas1]

Yup.

[@joshuaheinrich5962]

I’m ready to go fishing now. I never knew you could fish with double rigs. I’ll definitely check out your online store. Awesome video.

[@WARBAITS]

Thanks!

[@jacksonsalinas7412]

Can you go over what setups you use in the video

[@WARBAITS]

The set up is at the end of the video

I freaking lol when you said “calico party “ haha love it !!

[@WARBAITS]

Party animal

[@FishingwithUncleDandan]

Brother, love this! Definitely made me wanna hit the kelp!🤙🏽

[@WARBAITS]

Gotta get on it while the water is warm, they rein spawn mode.

[@jameswesthart5873]

Would love to do the same, but no product in stock anywhere...

[@FishingwithUncleDandan]

Hit up the online store! Mostly everything is in stock there. A few weights and colors are on back order but all your basics are there.🤙🏽

Thank you!

[@cesargonzalez8081]

What kind of boat is that?

[@WARBAITS]

Key West Bay Reef

[@adamtoledo729]

Great video and glad you got your boat back we’re not gonna be able to go out anytime soon on our boat we have a dual axle trailer and one of our tires came off and took the hub w/ it which bent the end of the axle

[@WARBAITS]

What are your plans for the axel?

[@adamtoledo729]

WARBAITS FISHING we are just going to have to replace it

[@lucasscott8397]

Dope vid thanks for showing the double rig I’m gonna try it out with two of my warbaits heads pretty soon!

[@WARBAITS]

You have too, it's highly effective! Good luck!

[@Coachn8c]

What the make and model of your boat???

[@WARBAITS]

Key West Bay Reef 196 👍🏻

[@justinperez8996]

Have you ever used the turners outdoors men custom rods? Californian rods best rods ever.

[@WARBAITS]

I have used the Turners Californian 30-60 rod for surface iron. I liked it. I believe those rods are wrapped by Phenix

[@justinperez8996]

WARBAITS FISHING yes they are wrapped by Phenix, and are great for spottys 7,7 extra heavy just because they are more like a heavy. Lastly they are warbaits ready!!!!!!

[@mattwilson7010]

That double set-up is sick I gotta try that!

Great job, Afran....👍👍

Great fun video, but alas no stock anywhere...

[@WARBAITS]

right! Finally a video with out a problem

[@VietLe-gy3et]

Damn, you killing them calicos. Love bass fishing next to yellowtails and tuna fishing.

[@WARBAITS]

100%! I was also looking for Yellows, but no signs this day

[@VietLe-gy3et]

@@WARBAITS at least you got a awesome bass fishing. And tight lines.

[@A.Matt7]

Every try live bait for yellowtail?

[@WARBAITS]

100%, It's been awhile, but yes, I've caught plenty of yellows on live bait

[@connerhays5819]

Haven’t caught a calico bass yet, I’m jealous lol.

[@WARBAITS]

You gotta go!

[@bradyowens5145]

love you guys

[@1bammerman]

Another great video. Been fishing so cal calico 40 yrs. My kid is 17 and has developed into a great stick. He's got a fishing channel on you tube. Fish my bass. If you went on and left a comment, he would be stoked. If you ever had room for a calico catching maniac, he would be even more stoked. He's been building boats in san clemente at Thresher Boats now for almost two years so he's got his foot in the fishing industry door. His name is Jenz. Any advise you could give him to further his fishing career? thanks

[@WARBAITS]

Thank you for the support! Advise; consistency. Consistency in life, fishing, documentation of the journey. Live a good karma life. The journey is long, we don't know the future or how long we have. Gotta keep pushing forward everyday

[@tomnguyen1109]

Definitely one of the top calico bass videos! 🔥

[@MichaelRavenFishing]

GET YOU SOME BRO. GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK OUT THERE

[@Jhboy2021]

Heck yeah brother! Hooked up!!! Calico are such great fighters and they taste good too! Nice vid!

[@WARBAITS]

Super fun to catch

[@matthewcato3397]

Awesome video. For the double rig have you compared tying it with a 3-way swivel vs. the swivel for the short leader sliding freely on the line? What advantages do you see with the sliding swivel? Does the knot get damaged; any advantage to adding a bead or rubber bobber stop to protect the knot from the sliding swivel?

[@WARBAITS]

On the 3-way, I found that the lines tangle. On the swivel line thru, they un tangle them selves. Plus I want the other bait to get away from the hooked fish. I added a bead in early versions and the rig tangle. As far as knot damage, I haven't had any knots break, but I do suggest re-tieing.

[@matthewcato3397]

WARBAITS FISHING awesome, thanks for sharing your experience.

[@Gmark25]

Stoked! What kind of boat is this??

[@WARBAITS]

Key West Bay Reef 196

[@Gmark25]

@@WARBAITS No issues taking a bay boat off to the islands? Besides mechanical technicalities that is.

[@1jbm2]

How heavy of a leader do you use? Does a heavier leader help prevent tangling? Thanks for explaining the setup in the video!

[@WARBAITS]

I use 30lb leader on both baits and 50lb braid for the main line. I rarely get a tangle. They free themselves

good to see you back bro! Just in time for the water to start warming back up. Hell of a turn we hard there for a month.

[@WARBAITS]

it's a warm 70-72! so happy for the warm water

[@kyungkim805.]

What kinda rod is your swim bait rod?

[@WARBAITS]

Phenix USB 800H

[@Peterskillz]

Dude it’s so gnarly being out on mission bay with my 10 ft dinghy lol ppl have no etiquette out there for sure

[@WARBAITS]

It's been insane since C19. People don't have anything else to do and I don't blame them for having fun. It's just too dangerous

[@omarc7029]

Sick fishes! What boat would you reccomend for a first time buyer down here in SoCal?

[@WARBAITS]

Well, a sea worthy boat. Also, It depends on what you are looking to fish. What are you looking to get into? My first boat was a 18" Bay Stealth. Kinda a hunk of junk. Didn't really Like it. Second boat was a random 17' center Console. Awesome boat. Got every dollar out of it in the fun factor. Local inshore only, could not go to the islands Third and Current boat: Key West 196 Bay Reef. Very killer boat. 160 mile capability.

[@omarc7029]

I would like to just do bottom fishing. Did a charter and we didnt go too far out as is and had great success. Would thee 17 footer u have for inshore only be good for that?? Like those skiffs they got??? The islands would be cool but damn that's goals got later haha For now something to cruise around land and not to far for some sculpin. Also I've seen some with 6.6 gal tanks....is that good or how far could i get out with that ??

[@fcaples]

Can you explain your setup for me? I would like to try it. Thanks

[@WARBAITS]

The set up is at the end of the video

[@kevinhelfend555]

I always learn something new from your videos. Love the way you rigged the double rig. I have tried it with a 3 way swivel, but it would tend to tangle. What knot are you using from the braid to the swivel?

[@WARBAITS]

Thanks for watching. I did not like the 3 way swivel. I found it tangled a lot. I'm tying UNI Knots. I want the second bait to move freely and away from the hooked fish. It has radical action when a fish is on the line

[@scottlandb6579]

Hey can you give specs on your boat? Year, make, model? Length? Electronics? Trolling Motor? Your opinion on going from Mission Bay to SC island? Looking at boats etc & just curious. Used to fish FLW BFL / Redman etc. and moved to CA and thinking I’d like to start calico bass fishing.

[@WARBAITS]

1999 Key West Bay Reef 196 / 115ph Yamaha 2-stroke. Lowrance Elite 9. Motor Guide Great White 24v. This boat has been to SCI from Mission Bay plenty of times. I pick my days though, look for calm conditions. It’s 60miles one way. The fuel tank is 70gals so I can get about 150 miles out of one tank. I have to pay attention to what I’m doing once I get to the island so that I don’t run out of fuel on the return. Boats: Key West, Pathfinder, Everglades, Parker, ranger. There are a lot of capable boats out there to do the job. Thanks! Keep me in the loop

[@WARBAITS]

Here’s a solo trip to SCI. Also, message me on IG again, I can’t find the DM kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIDbhpxnfrKAipo

[@nicoplace6573]

hows the Abu Garcia treating ya? good reel to invest in?

[@WARBAITS]

Beast 40 is a Beast. It actually a really good reel. I think I'm on my 3 rd year with this set of reels. Haven't serviced them yet. I give it a thumbs up

[@nicoplace6573]

WARBAITS FISHING Sounds good to me. Thanks for the info!!

[@crimson9297]

Hello Afran, Where do you take your boat for servicing if you don’t mind me asking ?

[@WARBAITS]

I used West Coast Marine in Mission Bay area

[@ericsweeney4544]

How deep is the water you're in? I love fishing for calico off la jolla. Not being able to see the kelp is throwing me off

[@WARBAITS]

I was in 40-55ft. I saw it on the fish finder and made a few casts. As the tide dropped, the top of the kelps started to show. Good luck!

[@fishingtacklechannel]

I wish I was out there! Covid ruined my trip to California.

hey Afran whats the best low price hobie for the bay ? Thank you.

[@WARBAITS]

I believe the PASSPORT is the most economical Hobie. But look on Craigslist also, might find a good Outback. Good luck!

[@PiperFishing]

Think you might be on to something with this double rig....

[@WARBAITS]

It's a great way to get a bigger bite. I've seen a lot of people hook the bigger follower when their friend is bringing the first fish to the boat. It's a great way to do it when solo.

[@donkdonkfishingwithhenryan4574]

Does anyone ever catch calicos on top water? Like a spook or something? I’d love to try it if it works.
