  • This year I caught my first dorado from kayak. This is pretty rare for San Diego waters. Using my Hobie Pro Angler 14, I pedaled about 8 miles off la jolla to find this small dorado. She sure was tasty!

    Caught them down in the Mediterranean, off the island of Gozo. One thing you notice is their absolutely amazingly beautiful colours. So vivid and luminescent in the bright sun. If you kill one for the table, they loose all that colour when they die, as the life leaves them they loose all that beautiful colour and become a greyish green. One of the best sport first to catch, because they jump high out of the water and fight like hell, but I lost quite a few as their mouth is quite soft and they can get off if you hook light. Good to eat, but I always have a pang in my heart when I decide to take one. Came across a sculpture in Italy dating from 400BC, it depicted a man holding a bunch of Lampuki (Dorado) just shows how long this amazing fish have been caught by humans. Nice video, I am an old town predator man myself :-)

After seeing your trek I’m glad I chose staying inside 🤣! I ended with a handful of calicos and a broken rod due to a thrashing barracuda 🤦‍♂️

    Hey Chris - Big Atta-Boy to You! This is huge. I saw the title of this vid and just had to watch it. Quite an accomplishment. I haven’t heard of anyone else catching a Dorado in a kayak off San Diego, but I’m not as close to all the reports, forums etc…
    Do you have an upgraded type of mirage drive or is it a stock version or ? I have a 2014 with a stock drive. I would doubt I’d ever try going out that far with mine, but just curious. I may upgrade just to make my longer days in the seat a bit easier if there’s an upgrade available. I’ve got a few more years on you and I’m not getting any faster.
    Thanks for posting this vid on your channel so quick. I’ve learned a lot of stuff from you, especially on the fish finder and now the Tx limits on the handhelds. Super good to know. Amazing accomplishment Chris!!!

    • @chrisblevinsfishing

      Hi Kenny. It’s a stock 180 drive from a 2019. I did have spare cables and tools… forgot to mention that in the video. I would highly recommend an entire backup drive, but ain’t nobody have cash for that who isn’t “team hobie” haha

    If going out that far stay in group, and the after noon current can get very strong, even for a power boat, a compass and a map is a must, need a stronger radio, ship to shore with a long antenna . and most importantly a safety beacon, so poop goes wrong. hit that safety beacon.

    That's so cool seeing Yellowtail from shore! How do you treat your mackerel? Do you have constantly fresh saltwater circulating or just aerator pump?

    • @chrisblevinsfishing
      @chrisblevinsfishing  Рік тому +1

      Hi an aerator is not sufficient to keep the mackerel alive… you need a circulation pump. This tank has a tsunami 500 gph bilge pump, wired to a 6v battery so it pumps at half speed. Thanks for watching
