What is the spinning set up in first part of the video

[@JDSUMNUT]

6:50 what set up do you have there?

[@honeyhole]

Rod is an East county bait and tackle custom Phoenix blank fast action @ 7’5”, 10-25lb lure weight 3/8-2oz. Reels a Penn fathom 300 low profile. I think with 30lb 8 strand J-Braid.

[@honeyhole]

I love this setup for Calico.

[@JDSUMNUT]

[@devinecomedy43]

Was looking for a small boat for spearing at the islands and your channel popped up. Solo mission + Tiger Army = subscription. Great content! Cheers

[@honeyhole]

[@KevinJ-jp2qx]

hi Mike are you ok ,,I don't see any more good videos 10/8 23 I hope you doing ok

[@honeyhole]

We are good, just busy and haven’t had a chance to fish. Thanks for checking in.

[@KevinJ-jp2qx]

👍😊🙏😊

[@mancingmanialovers819]

this is what I'm waiting for a good video about fishing for yellowtail fish I have to watch till the end

[@deathcar]

Spanish mac are an excellent option for slow trolling, sea lions tend to not go after them as much, and they are pretty much everywhere along the kelp line.

[@jasl7358]

I didn't know you guys had spanish macs on the west coast or, are they different from what we have on the east coast?

[@jasl7358]

Ah just looked it up and yes it is different. That looks similar to what we call a goggle eye out here.

[@deathcar]

@@jasl7358 I think the proper name is jack mackerel, but the local vernacular has always been Spanish mac.

[@honeyhole]

@@jasl7358 yes google eye! I was trying to remember the name.

[@TrialanError]

Spanish macs are delicious

[@TrialanError]

Hi Rani and Mike 🥰🥰🥰

[@honeyhole]

What’s up Maui

[@socalsaltwateranglers]

Great Vid Bro. I need to get out to Coronado someday. New Sub 🤙🏻

[@honeyhole]

Thank you!

[@joedansereau381]

hey Mike. been watching your videos. and figure you may be the guy to ask.. it was about 30 years since ive been on the water. moved to AZ in 92 we always had family boats. my dad pasted,7years ago. so in his memory. i started going back out 2/3 times a year out of H and M landing. for the past 4 years. now im hooked again and thinking about getting a ocean boat. now i get to my question.. is there a map with the different landings. and then compass readings to different locations.. thank you Joe

[@honeyhole]

I don’t know of a map specifically with all the landings but I’m sure there is one around. As far as headings to different locations that would be more difficult to find pre plotted on a map. However it’s not to difficult to chart a course if you know your end point, Just need a protractor. I would definitely recommend getting some type of chart plotter if you’re looking to go out though. As a habit I will always know my reverse azimuth back to a major navigational aid in case the plotter goes down. Hope that helps.

[@FTECBLReports]

@@honeyhole RA....Yup you paid attention during land nav hahaha. Hooah!

[@swagyuz]

Another solid video... thanks Mike appreciate you brother... I'm looking to get a starter boat next year when supplies are a bit better to fish the socal coast and trips to the islands so great to see you fishing locally out of a smaller profile boat .. stay safe!

[@honeyhole]

Thank you!

[@michaelkellems6500]

Appreciate the video. I was out yesterday at the islands. What day were you out there? Fishing off a 21 outrage

[@honeyhole]

I was out on Friday

[@samuelcossington6147]

Awesome 👌. We in lock down so can not go fishing ☹😟

[@honeyhole]

Ahh that’s a bummer.

[@alanmckenzie3228]

Awesome video. I'm waiting for my TIP permit so I can fish the C. Islands on my BW 17 as well. Quick question, how much gas do you burn on a typical day going there and back? I have a 70 HP Yamaha 4 stroke with a 22 gallon tank. Thank you for any feedback.

[@honeyhole]

I have a 115, if it’s calm I usually burn around 12gal

[@alanmckenzie3228]

@@honeyhole That's not bad at all. I'll bring an extra 5-10 gallons for safety. Again, thank you for the feedback.

[@erk-1]

How big is your boat and what’s the distance to the island?

[@honeyhole]

17’ about 18 miles to the island.

[@erk-1]

@@honeyhole impressive👊🏼👊🏼

[@EdgarSanchez-nd3pq]

What casting set up do you have there ?

[@honeyhole]

I have a 7’6” 10-25lb fast action Phoenix blank with a penn fathom 200 low profile.

[@EdgarSanchez-nd3pq]

@@honeyhole do you happen to know the model of the phenix blank ? Thanks for the reply

[@honeyhole]

I do not. It doesn’t say it on the rod

[@christophergarbis1444]

Hey Mike...so how long is the trip from SD to the Coronado's? Btw...long live Lefty fishing!

[@honeyhole]

It takes me about an hour.

[@christophergarbis1444]

Easy trip on nice seas...I'm from Orange County and that's about the trip from Newport to Catalina. Love your videos man! Good luck and stay safe taking those trips alone.

[@honeyhole]

@@christophergarbis1444 thank you!

[@mxjunkie]

how long to get to the islands from SD? how many knots?

[@honeyhole]

Depends on the conditions and where you launch from. From the big bay it takes me about an hour.

[@henrycole8705]

What are you using for line? on that small rod

[@honeyhole]

On my bass rod I’m using 20lb J braid to 15lb Fluro.

[@henrycole8705]

Over population of Seals sea lions. Low shark population

[@craze4fishing185]

[@honeyhole]

You do need some documents and a passport.

[@werftv4580]

[@honeyhole]

Yeah? I will definitely try them then. Just need a bunch.

[@werftv4580]
