  • In this video we are fishing for yellowtail using squid for bait. I launch my Hobie Pro Angler 14 in the late summer to target large homeguard mossbacks. I give a few tips on how to fish a squid bite, and use heavy tackle to land these powerful fish in tough conditions.

      @@chrisblevinsfishingI'm pretty sure I've watched all your videos. I've learned so much from you, and I greatly appreciate you taking the time to make videos and share knowledge. Yesterday, I discovered your interview with Roman on Fishy Hour-- good stuff! I started kayak fishing in January with a Kraken. Then I found Roman Castro and hooked up with MMFC. After a few months on the Kraken, I upgraded to a new PA14 (Papaya). You and the MMFC guys influenced me. Fishing La Jolla has always been a bucket list item for me. During the summer, I fished La Jolla about 6-7 times, and recently I started launching from Dana Landing and fishing south, along Point Loma. Congrats with your new baby. I've been a dad for 13 years. Thanks again, and I hope to run into you on the water.

    Glad to see you posting again, man. As a noob still slowly gearing up to get into the hobby, I enjoy learning from you more than anybody else I've come across on UA-cam. I recently managed to find a used Prowler '13 on Craigslist for a decent price and picked that up. Got an ugly stik GX2, a Daiwa SWBG5000 to go with it, some 40lb braid and 30lb fluoro leader. Now I just need to get a marine radio, some wheels for the kayak, and a cheap solution to car top it on my Prius. Any recommendations on the wheels and/or roof rack? Also, what are your thoughts on bleeding fish out on the water? I see a lot of UA-cam kayak fishermen doing it and just wonder why they're not worried about sharks.

    • @chrisblevinsfishing
      @chrisblevinsfishing  2 роки тому +1

      Hi max thanks for watching. I do bleed them out on the water… always do it and never had any issues. You only bleed them for a few min or so. As far as roof loading, it’s best to get hard racks especially if you go a long ways on the freeway. They have soft racks too, I think fastlane carries them. But honestly all you really need is a couple foam blocks and a couple cam buckle straps and you are good to go just run the straps through the door jam and through the cab.

      Bro the whole thing. Been out La Jolla a few times. Got one yellow in the times I’ve been out. It’s one of the best experience you can get kayak fishing. Haven’t been out in a few years. So for me all the prep time. Time on the water getting to that one moment when everything connects and your able harvest a great fish. Can’t wait to get out again. Brought me back to the past that I want to make the future again.
