That kind of lure is so popular here in Southern CA! It still works well up there :)

[@DieHardFishing]

It works everywhere!!!!

[@paulbugnacki7107]

Thanks for showing how you load. I load my 75lb sea ghost by myself on my Subaru. But I put the bow in between the first and second bars. Then I lift the stern onto the rear bar and then slide the yak on. Pretty easy. Better luck next time on the stripper. When do you think the best time of year is for halibut on the bay?

[@nomadhomad3685]

Nice to see some feisty halibut around the bay this time of year.

[@DieHardFishing]

Sure is!

[@michaelgurtler522]

Hey, better than a towel is a bath mat. It sticks to the car better, doesn't slide off so easily.

[@lloydcc]

Abither tio, loading the kayak. I carry a small block or brick to keep it from sliding backwards on the ground if you are in an area where the back end keeps sliding.

[@DieHardFishing]

Nice, good idea!

[@vaughansummerville3017]

Adam study what they do on the east coast to catch stripbass . long history of the big ones.good luck dude 👌

[@ShenpaiWasTaken]

Have you tried using a moving blanket instead of the towel? That's what I use for mine and it's great.

[@DieHardFishing]

No I haven't! Thanks for the tip!

[@minh7170]

Question Adam, how do I rig up a jerkbait to troll the bottom for halibut on a kayak? Thanks for the work that goes into your content

[@travelingpuff3385]

Nice video thanks! I don't have a lot of fishing tips for anyone, but this reminded me that I won't take a hook out of a halibut without plyers. ER visit cured me of that. They love to flop at the wrong time!

[@jimbo4612]

Still some very nice halibut at 4-5 mile beaches here in Monterey . Just have to pick the days without wind . Also Bluefin if you have the time and gear . Big Bluefins for those putting in some time working live mackerel.

[@NorCalFishermen]

hey adam is your go to rod a 9,9ft mh? i have one just like it if so and i always thought it would be difficult to use on a boat/yak but looks like you make it work

[@DieHardFishing]

Yep!

[@XxJalelxX]

Have you done a video on how you set up the Gopros, gear you use for filming such as mics, batteries, cables ,booms etc?

[@DieHardFishing]

No but thanks for the suggestion!

[@geoffmcnew5863]

I wouldn't recommend doing this in anything other than waterski flat conditions (which are pretty rare on SF Bay & change fast) & particularly not while trying to open boxes with new lures and tie them while underway...now, show us some 2-3 foot chop with whitecaps and a typical afternoon wind...good luck.

[@gearlist]

Cool outro, never realized how big the Old Towne was compared to a Corolla!

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

Looks like the smaller version of a Yozuri Jerk bait. For sure they work on most any salt water or fresh water fish 👍

[@georgeescaped6035]

back in 1968 Nov a JAL flight landed short of the runway close to where you are, put down wheels and sat on the bottom.. no injuries

[@georgeescaped6035]

used to launch my boat right there! mostly caught leopard shark, big ol rays, and croakers .. never caught anything big (we sucked)

[@mikemonaghan9817]

Hey Adam, have you ever had a sealion attack your stringer? I bet they'd come right in the kayak to get them!

[@tamalpias]

Adam I am off Sundays, mondays, and tuesdays. Let me know if you need help loading the kayak. 😊

[@DieHardFishing]

haha, appreciate it!!!

[@reggiegalanto]

Do you use ratchet straps or kayak straps to strap your kayak down?

[@shanehoward9756]

Is this a decent time a year still to fish from kayak? I was thinking of getting a kayak and heading out? Like around oyster and coyote

[@rudesvx]

Delta for stripers and maybe salmon coming back from ocean and ocean coast for rockfish and crab (on November).

[@DieHardFishing]

It's always a good time to fish from a kayak!

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

Adam What pliers do you use to cut braid? I had a terrible pair of very expensive Boomerang snippers...shape toe nail clippers. Resulted in not very good customer service/satisfaction on my ugly pair. Just cut way back where you said it can cut ... don't use the tip where it doesn't cut but only frays your 30 lb braid. I used it only 5 times.

[@Hook2Cook]

Great job Adam! Love Shop Karl’s!

[@DieHardFishing]

Me too!

[@gabepettinicchio7454]

Hi Adam. Can the fish inside San Francisco Bay be eaten safely? I have heard of water quality problems there.

[@DieHardFishing]

Yes they can!

[@davebrown7321]

what you call hallibut look like what we call sole in Australia! .....bloody good eating when ya get a big one!

[@theperchjerker]

Did I hear JERK?!

[@Norcal808]

Man dat little guy hit HARD haha. Maybe when you hit 75K subscribers you could buy a truck as a reward 🤙🏽

[@gungadin6889]

Change out the hooks on ur kayak trolling plugs to J hooks, much safer than a treble in a small boat grabbing n handling the fish. Treble really gets buriend in the hand with several barbs. Single much easier to remove. 2/0 or 3/0 on smaller plugs. I like the double ring shank connectr to attach hooks to the eyes, much freer hook movement n further back spacing for deeper mouth hooking. Treble buried inthe body isa trip to the hospital Good to see all the young halibut nursery

[@philipmccumbee3624]

What is the length and width of your kayak?

[@rudesvx]

Head towards the delta if you want to get some striper action.

[@rrmerlin3402]

The jets you hear taking off are from SFO

[@rudesvx]

@@rrmerlin3402 sorry, spellcheck changed my first word of sentence. I corrected it to make more sense. Thanks.

[@timeless_realm]

Isn't that bay pretty polluted?

[@edgarventura8744]

Where did you launch

[@oscarmartinez-md6oj]

Awesome Job Adam!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks!

[@larry5039]

Great information! About how long does your battery hold up on an avg day. I assume this is the 45lb thrust system?

[@DieHardFishing]

Yep! It depends on the speed I'm trolling but half speed should last around 10 hours

[@brianstarelli3597]

Should have gone north , out go tide the tubes always has stripers.

[@curtbennett8402]

Can you estimate how long your battery will last? And what type is it?

[@DieHardFishing]

I have a 100AH battery and it lasts all day fishing!

[@DieHardFishing]

The lifespan all depends on how fast you are trolling

[@DNaruo]

I caught a 34" Leopard shark while trolling a rip bait last week.

[@DieHardFishing]

Nice!

[@connerjay84]

Love your channel Adam! Me and my son catch each episode. What kind of knife do you carry on your vest? Been looking for a good one for the kayak setup that can withstand saltwater better

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! I don'y have any specific knife, just a cheap bait knife works fine!

[@connerjay84]

Thanks so much!

[@danhardeman8768]

Just bought a gerber crossriver salt knife, it's great! Nice clip too

[@yardhostler3728]

Hali #3 got his eye 👁 destroyed

[@allankawafuchi831]

Time to get a truck.

[@ericpitre4031]

Yu have a deep voice man. Love saltwater vids

[@logantom8256]

the best way to get them off is to pull lightly and twist away from the the hook

[@loklokoppa9255]

Hey bro, for a challenge, go to Daiso and buy some of their jigs and fish it. Good luck.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@FishAholicTV]

Nice!! 🤙🏻

[@fishiganstate3880]

Lol you're about due for another snagged ray😅

[@DieHardFishing]

haha I was worried about that too!

[@shotgunaaron]

Still halibut in the bay! Wow…

[@gerryhazelton9569]

You’re a brave man out there in great white territory. I’ll stick to fresh water fishing but cool video .

[@NikonF5user]

If somebody has a Ferrari or Lamborghini, they have the money to get a separate truck and/or trailer for the kayak!

[@MrMichaelamado]

Haha, when he said that I was thinking how great it would be to see a Lambo on the boat ramp with a kayak! At least you wouldn't have to lift the kayak too high, right?

[@tbone3587]

Adam more videos pleaseeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[@jasonfrost8428]

Giants hat?

[@jamestownvirginia8463]

Adam, I hope you adjust the speed of the lure, it's important as I'm sure is known. I can't keep up with tides like that but I always change here in Virginia as I can see you have 💪. The education is appreciated. You have the old town like I do, and we've talked about it. Here, the fall striper want it ripped and 30 plus are the goal I do have a truck and trailer, major benefit.

[@gavhirt9168]

Thats all the wing is good for. It doesn't work for down force at 20 mph and I don't see you drifting w a kayak thats worth more than your car thats w gear too

[@noobfisherman1626]

First for Sensei!!!

[@liarliar1408]

You need a 2022 Ford Maverick. Only 20k + fees n tax. Hybrid truck with a 4 foot bed for your kayak needs. Trade that Corolla in for it. 40mpg truck hybrid so gas mileage is like of the Corolla but with trucking capabilities. $500 deposit so they can built you one right now.

[@fishyfishyfishyfishing2641]

Nice!

[@andrewhooper355]

Underwater footage time. GoFish camera attached to your line.

[@SC_SLAYER.]

Go catch a BFT !!!

[@MECH-MASTER]

👍

[@wayneclark6624]

there is absolutely no reason Not to try to go for a salmon -

[@leonardowelch2580]

It's about time you invest in a truck. You can write it off on your taxes. It's a business expense.

[@kpnitrl38]

Soooo are you no longer fishing full-time to make a living?
