[@rockyg5441]

Had so much fun, Bob and I are thinking of going out again next Saturday! Thanks for the invite and great tips, invaluable info on the water for me. What a blast

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

nice. this warm weather really helping with the variety: Triggerfish, cuda, bonito, etc.

[@oldgold4197]

I'd love to join sometime! I'm usually out at Belmont / Long Beach if it's open water but I've been super interested in trying Redondo.

[@rockyg5441]

@oldgold4197 Saturday 6 am launch from king harbor hand launch. Bob and I will be there if anyone else wants to join. The more the merrier 👍🏼

just moved to socal a month ago and looking to start fishing again. used to have a hobie when i lived back on the east coast and sold it before the move. love watching your videos to find the spots out here on the west coast to fish. appreciated the detailed videos man, helps a lot. fishing styles are completely different out here on the west coast! ill have to fish from shore or headboat for the time being until i can get a kayak again. cheers!

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

thx for the kind words! yeah, i'm not going to appeal to a mass audience. most people will want to see fish (big) being caught, and i'm not going to fault the general audience for that. i've always been more of a , "hey, *how* do you do what you do?" kinda guy. but anyways, i'm glad you find these videos helpful. when you get your yak, you can reach out to me at VooDooKayak at gmail!

[@brianortega5132]

Nice catch hopefully I'll be able to go with you next time (breal)

[@infomwr]

What a perfect day it was…. It was a great day of fishing and hanging out with friends. The big one that got away is still down there waiting to be caught.

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

yes, those are the fish that haunt our dreams, lol. for local, i imagine it would have been quite a beast.

Thank you for the informative video. Do you use any app to check for weather conditions?

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

hi, i use windy.com and windfinder.com. you should always check at least two sites.

[@Monkeyslavez]

Hey bro I’m local I’d love to go out with you guys I just got my kayak two weeks ago and you guys seem really chill to be out with

[@alwaysfishing8465]

Good to see you posting fishing videos again. How do you like the Big Water?

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

hey! great to hear from you. liking the BigWater quite a bit. instant-reverse makes it so much more convenient when i'm filming. how are you doing? have you been slaying the Lings?

[@dayvid8948]

Hey dude. I’m trying to decide on a transducer. It looks like your unit does not use side scan. Can you explain why you prefer a unit without side scan?

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

hi, i actually run a Sideview model (73SV). but, i don't use the SV feature much because i'm primarily an ocean guy and spend a lot time in water that's 100'+++ deep. imo, SD is useful when you are scouting shallow water (like most lakes). what's way more important is how much punch a xducer has. if ur xducer doesn't have enough punch, it'll struggle in water that's over say...~150'. and in Redondo, for example, you could easily see water that's 200'-300'. so i'd recommend against getting a model with an underpowered xducer (some of the lower-end Garmin and Lowrance units). i run the GT54UHD xducer.

[@angelmartinez9188]

Great video and tips. Where do you launch a kayak from in Redondo and is there a launch fee?

There is a dock behind the lagoon to launch from.

Can you rent kayaks out of that harbor? I live in an apartment and I wanna go kayak fishing but dont have a kayak.

[@dunmadun351]

Or do u have tips? If I do get a kayak, are there places there to store it at the marina? so I dont have to tow it?

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

@@dunmadun351 not sure about storage, but i know you can rent kayaks at King Harbor. they will be recreational kayaks that are small and not super stable. but in theory, yes - you could fish out of them.

[@dunmadun351]

You think its doable? Just have to struggle with the rod and gear situation? Lol. I wanna catch sheephead thats why i wanna try.

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

@@dunmadun351 i think it would be tough. for Sheephead, you'd have to paddle to the kelp forest off of the Palos Verdes area. that's roughly a 4 mile paddle one-way. i would advise against it.

[@slammahyak]

o what were u guys out there yesterday?

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

sup K! yeah, we should have linked up.

[@YakLocal]

How you liking the bigwater?

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

i'm a fan. given the same perceived effort as my old Hobie yaks, i think i'm going about .25 to .3 mph faster. and the instant reverse is really, really nice for coming to s screeching halt on top of a mark, and especially for filming. the one thing is doesn't do well is glide, as the drive and prop present much more drag in the water than a couple of Hobie fins, but i'll live with it. and with all the new yaks, you sit really high, so you gotta be careful.

[@cramos6638]

How do you find your spots to fish do you use a app like navionics?

[@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305]

for an area that's diversified like Redondo, it's a tricky question to answer. is there a specific species you are targeting?

[@cramos6638]

@@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305 yes I try to target more sand bass.i just purchased the avionics app but don't know how useful it will be for me . I'd like to target rock fish also
