Santa Cruz Kayak Fishing and Big Sur California Coast Exploration | BAD ASH OUTDOORS

In this video, we head down to Santa Cruz to try our luck in the bay for Halibut, ling cod and rock fish along with Dungeness and Rock crabs! It's my first time out in this area which is no problem. I show how I make a plan for ocean fishing, and keep on eye on how I use my electronics from @HumminbirdTV to search and find crab and rockfish!

My backyard. 😊

[@djanderson2576]

Can I recommend making a kayaking/kayak fishing playlist so that it's easy to find the old town kayaks

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Yep, on it right now!

[@stevet8121]

I've been ocean kayak fishing for about 9 years up in Humboldt County. You are spot on with your safety gear. It's very important and I applaud you for stressing it. Looking forward to more adventures.

[@morgananderson9647]

Thanks for the great video! I'm looking forward to fishing this spring!

[@Justin-zs1ql]

In Santa Cruz…queue the Reggae music. I lived in SC a couple years as a youngster who had not discovered his passion for fishing yet. It would be interesting to head back and explore now.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

I highly recommend you check it out again as an angler! What a great time

[@wayneroberts7852]

Still amazing fishing off a kayak! Nice job!

[@larrysaari3167]

Thank you both for another fun video. Really enjoy the different adventures.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Glad you like them, Larry! Thank you for watching!

[@RN67POST]

Always a good time ! Nice video 👍😬🐟

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Thanks 👍

[@pernamore4224]

Nice video ash, didn't know you fish close to the bay.

[@OldTownCanoeKayak]

Incredible stuff! We need a part 2 about the people on the rock 😰

[@BadAshOutdoors]

I KNOW!! Those guys were CRAZY!!

[@kevinstorm2167]

My buddies in NCKA have always said you have to go deeper for crabs in SC. You may wish to try the PROMAR 102W trap. It folds flat, easy to use on a kayak. It was my go to when I lived in San Mateo and would hit HMB. Also try using some EVOO on your bait or use some salmon bellies or mackeral as bait. Good Luck on the next trip! FYI the closer you get to Bean Hollow, the closer to the landlords habitat your getting.

I like to eat the sea bass! Catchin is always good

[@BadAshOutdoors]

They are delicious, we just already have a freezer full of them!!

[@billnurse5321]

You are doing this live? Wow

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Hey Bill! No, we did the premiere of the video live, not the actual video. Though, I do often go live on the water on instagram or facebook if you follow me there!

[@shizloner]

that was a blue rock fish. for future note if you think it's a black sea bass keep it in the water and release it.

[@robertculpepper1508]

When are you going to start hunting? I recommend archery hunting so it's harder and more appreciated.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

When i find the time between school, fishing, advocacy and all my other hobbies! I very much would like to though!

[@williamwinsor7376]

I remember watching Alaskan bush people and they dropped off a crab pot into the depths only to lose it and I thought rookies!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

ugh. Don't get me started on that show. So fake and just bad.

[@nathanlewis5426]

"I like big butts, I cannot lie!"

[@lenorodriguez9422]

When is the best time of yr.to fish?

[@BadAshOutdoors]

There's great opportunity year around!

[@ernestocarig687]

Can you sell me some of your Catch 😊

[@seanjimenez4561]

Hey Ash, those rockfish that you’re keeping/catching are not black Seabass. They are black rockfish definitely different species from a black Seabass which is a non keeps species here in California. Before you post up your videos with educational info, be sure to research your catch.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Thanks, Sean!

[@JakeHarshman]

Lots of butt talk in this video... I like it!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Always room for a good butt joke!

[@JakeHarshman]

@@BadAshOutdoors I agree... anytime that the mood is right you got to try to get em in where they fit in

[@peterl2820]

They are called black rockfish.. not sea bass.
