@@jtezzi the bass fishing is good over there? There are not very many good bass fishing lakes, besides golf courses, or residential lakes that are private property. I used to fish a couple of lakes in lake forest that were really plentiful back in the day.

@@jtezzi I don’t do a whole lot of freshwater fishing anymore. I need to get back into freshwater fishing. Do you know of any good lakes in socal?

@@Jollyhondro69 it’s a give and take relationship when it comes to fishing lol

@JoeGiesler the family will make sure you make it there. It is an amazing place!!

@@gerardperlas270 I launch out of South Shore Launch Ramp. I found it on Apple Maps. That's how I find all my places to launch haha satellite image is a game changer. I believe it’s $10 to park all day. It’s credit card only, no cash. The address is: 590 Queensway Dr Long Beach, CA 90802 United States

@@austinP1996 Do you have a boat/kayak, or will you be fishing from shore?

@@SparkyFishHead no boat/kayak, just moved from the Pasadena area so only used to lake and reservoir

@ the local tackle shops will recommend certain baits for the area as well. Ocean fishing is fun. You never know what you will catch. Long Beach has tons of areas to fish.

@@UlyMar1 That’s just how it is sometimes. Consistency and patience is key. I have spent all day fishing and not caught a single fish 😂

@@92platoon the lure I’m using is a 1/4 oz. “Hookup bait.” They come in all different colors and sizes. I am using the “red crab” color in this video. It hasn’t let me down yet. I was also using my genesis 3 light action rod, with 12lb mono. I am not sure what reel I am using. I hope this helps.

@@JoeGiesler I haven’t had much time on the weekends. I’m taking extra jobs to make some more money 💰

@@JoeGiesler I just posted the fishing video from the tuna trip!

@@nickrowe9431 I buy the three pack that already comes set up for you. They have the option to buy the wights and plastics separate.

@@jgcareyYT I almost flipped the kayak the first time I heard that 😂😂 it definitely catches you off guard, even when you know it’s going to happen. The fishing is good there. It will have to take more than a horn to stop me!

@@Twolegit2quit27 I will make a video of the rod set up this weekend 🤙🏼

@@caliraisedexotics I agree with you. That is why I don’t keep the fish I catch close to shore. You never know what contaminates the fish have encountered.

@@rod8429 It’s part of the thrill. I’ll take anything that pulls drag!

@@chrishaase3479 I recently purchased this set up. I lost my last pole trying to launch my yak from the beach. I would have to take it out of storage and let you know. I will add all that information in my next video.

@@Axel-we5lw There are a few laws when it comes to kayaking. You must have a life jacket on board. Some areas may have conservation laws that limit where you can launch your kayak. These laws are usually marked on signs and maps near the launch points. Boating is similar to driving a car, meaning no boating under the influence. You also cannot launch in low visibility without lights on the kayak, similar to boating. There are different laws that pertain to yaks with electric motors (trolling motors).

@@GrimReaper68440 It is definitely a spot you should hit! I launch out of South Shore Launch Ramp. I found it on Apple Maps. That’s how I find all my places to launch haha satellite image is a game changer. The address is: 590 Queensway Dr Long Beach, CA 90802 United States

@SparkyFishHead, Thanks for the info, I'm going to try it soon. Also is there a bait barge there? Or close by

@@GrimReaper68440 Not that I know of. I use a sabiki rig to catch bait, or I just stick to artificial plastics. There is a lot of bait by the boat launch. I typically run into bait all throughout that area. Subscribe so you don’t miss any videos. I try to give as much detail as I can in my videos.

@@beedee8523 I am in a 9.5ft Raptor modular kayak. It is made by reel yaks. Alamitos bay has been good to me. It’s one of my hot spots. I recently purchased a 10.8ft Rapido modular kayak. It is made by reel yaks as well. I will be making another video once I receive the new kayak. Stay tuned 🤙🏼

@@SparkyFishHead nice! I watched your other video where you did a walkthrough of the Raptor, and that Calico took ya into the jetty! That was wild. Once I get my yak maybe we can get a session in? I was also looking at the Radar from Reel Yaks. Either way, I’d be stuffing it in the back of my 4Runner. Are you keeping the Raptor?

@@beedee8523 I am always looking for people to get out on the water with. Is this going to be your first yak? Make sure you read the dimensions. The Raptor is 9.5 feet and it fits in the back seat of my F-150 perfectly. Any bigger and it might not fit in the back seat.

@@beedee8523 I’m keeping the Raptor in case my gf, or my boy want to go out with me.

@@SparkyFishHead yeah it would be my first yak. It will fit no problem in my 4R with the seats folded down…just have to remove a car seat. 🙃 I had considered a regular 10’ or 11’ pedal yak but don’t want to haggle loading on the roof of my 4R at 5am. Similar to my float tube, I can load this thing (Raptor) up the night before, park on our garage and be ready to hop in and go in the morning.

@@SouthwestKayakFishing Thank you! I am excited to have more days like that. I got another kayak, so hopefully I can venture out further and find more fish. I enjoy the channel and subscribed 🤙🏼

@@SparkyFishHead thanks Austin. I appreciate that. I subscribed to yours as well👍

@@SouthwestKayakFishing I appreciate it. I get on the water every chance I get. Stay tuned for more videos.

@@woodrowilson607 I don’t look at the tide charts, but I know it affects the fishing conditions. I typically try to get on the water at first light. I catch most of my fish around 8-12. The bite slows down once it starts getting hot.

@@GurooGuy I use the scented hook up baits. I’m not sure if they vary in price from scented and unscented.

@@trentthomas9022 Go to your local tackle shop. Give them a price range that works for you. I would start off with a combo, rod and reel setup. If you enjoy sitting and waiting, then bait fishing is for you. If you like moving around and looking for the fish, then get yourself some hookup baits. Your local tackle shop will set you up with the type of fishing that fits your needs.

@@SDFishGuessWhoMeAgain Thank you for sharing. I am always looking for new spots to explore. I am having some trouble finding big bass. My most recent video is nothing but baby bass. I just got a new kayak, which is bigger and more stable. Hopefully I will be able to get out there more. The retired life is the way to go! One day I will be able to retire haha

I have never had any luck using plastics off the piers. The bouncing technique has always worked the best for me. Getting a bite on the fall is always exciting and rare. I will continue making videos. I will find some bigger fish. I just need to keep fishing different spots. Like and subscribe so you don’t miss any action.

@SparkyFishHead go 3 or 2 days before, or after, a full moon phase, or 3 or 2 days before a new moon phase. When they are stacking up in shallower water, waiting for the grunion.

@@JimPack-jy3rr I will have to give that a try and see if I can catch some fish. It’s hard to go back to shore fishing ever since I got my kayak haha I will take your advice and try it though.

I use your products all the time! It’s an amazing and simple lure. It catches multiple species. If you guys ever need someone to field test some products, or want some more promoting, I am your guy!

Oh for sure! This is Long Beach California. It’s known to have polluted water. That is why I don’t keep anything I catch there.

Thank you for the tip. I have not heard that before. I will have to keep an eye on that next time I go out.

That applies to shell fish.

i've heard that but never listened to it and for now i've been fine 😅

@ Don’t take that risk! You need more fishing videos in this world 😂

@@kraziejavier make sure to subscribe. There will be more videos to come!

Do you ever go to redondo beach

@@all_in_autodetails I have not launched out of Redondo Beach. Is it good fishing over there?

@@SparkyFishHeadthere is a cool spot to launch from but I haven’t tried it yet . Going to try it soon tho. Cool video

@@all_in_autodetails is it a boat launch, or do you launch from the beach? Last time I tried to launch from the beach I got hit by a wave and ended up flipping the kayak. I wish I would have got it on video.

@@SparkyFishHead behind the Joe’s Crab Shack in Redondo Beach there is a small dock just for kayaks and small inflatable boats to launch. Really cool spot

1/4 ounce

I have been looking for a good halibut spot for a while. I’m glad to have stumbled upon this spot. Another good spot is on the other side of shoreline marina. That walkway where the beach begins and the marina ends. I have seen big halibut pulled out of there from the shore.

@@SparkyFishHead hey man I know you dont have to say this stuff but its much appreciated

@ No problem at all! I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. Keep watching and I will keep making videos.

That is the kind of morning that has you on edge. It’s never a comfortable feeling being on the water in fog like that. Glad you were able to make it back to shore safely. It’s hard to think about the dangers when the fishing is good. I have been wanting to make my way down to San Diego. Do you know of any good spots to check out?

That is a great question. My guess would be water temperature, or food sources. I will have to do some research to answer that correctly. I bet that was an amazing fight! How long did it take you to bring in that Alaskan halibut?

It's simple. Alaska has a population of about 733K. California has about 40 Million people. If both state swap populations, I bet those Alaska halibut won't grow much bigger when 40 Million people lives near the coast and you got million of them fishing the area. The big halibuts will get caught and eventually you won't see them get that big anymore and then the State is forced to regulate the catches to 22 inches. And finding one that gets to 40 inches will be rare. If CA has only 733k people, the fishes are going to start growing much bigger and more abundant. A good case study is Washington. It used to have a lower population and catching King Salmon use to be easy and they get over 40 lbs easily, with a record king salmon at 70 lbs. But with the recent boom in population in WA, it's rare to find a King Salmon above 30 lbs, most will be under 20 lbs, with the ave being like 15 lbs. So overfishing can reduce the size potential of any species.

I launch from south shore launch ramp. It’s where PPF jet skies launch their rentals. If you type in south shore launch ramp into maps it will come up. It’s across the canal from where the Catalina express goes out of in Long Beach.

@@SparkyFishHead Thanks. How does the parling work?

It’s $12 for all day parking. You have to pay before the gate will open. It’s a big parking area, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding a spot. I’m not sure if you can pay with cash. I have only paid using a credit card.

No way! Such a small world. Yes, I took this video on Tuesday. That was my first time out in the fog, it was exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time. Did they have a small concert on that day?

@@SparkyFishHead I was helping to film content for a friend...She is a world class violinist, and captured some good content in the fog with the Queen in the background!

That was a perfect day to film. I’m sure the video came out amazing. That is the perfect background for a violinist. Does she have videos on UA-cam?

I am blessed to be able to live in a city with many opportunities. It's a little scary kayaking in the fog, knowing there are big ships passing by. I try to appreciate everything life gives me. Visiting the Queen Mary is a historic piece of the past that I'm glad you were able to see on your visit 🤙🏼

@@ninhtang7718 I was using a 3” 1/4oz hookup bait. I have a lot of good luck on the “Red Crab” color. I was using that color in the video. I will start putting my lure setups in the videos.

It's so good!

Just trying something different. I fish a lot, so mine as well film it and put it out there. I’m waiting for the day I see a big shark lol gets your blood pumping. I hope all is well with you and fam!

@SparkyFishHead all is well, the South is a trip but, so far, so good.

I’m glad to hear that. The south should be its own country haha that will take some time getting used to.

@SparkyFishHead Definitely, stay safe man, the world is getting crazier by the day.

I’ve been thinking of getting this yak. I’m local to Long Beach and float tube Alamitos all the time. How you liking the yak?
