Hey guys, thanks for watching and venturing down to the comments. More kayak videos to come soon, rockfish and salmon season is right around the corner!
About the water in the boat inspection, water on a boat/kayak from another lake spreads contamination (quagga muscles). But if you purchase your live minnow from bait/tackle shop with a receipt provided, it's assumed you got it from safe source of supplier without any contamination, you are good to go. But you're still at the mercy of the Inspector. I hope that makes sense.
That does make sense, thank you. I still don't know how they regulate that since I did not need to show any receipt or anything but I guess its mainly to prevent spread of water directly from other lakes. I presume it is impossible to have a perfect system but this should help.
Wow, you are able to car top your hobie outback on your Toyota Corolla with just the cross bars and no J-cradle or pads, impressive !!! I am getting my Yakima roof racks this Friday and hobie compass soon. I would love to go kayaking fishing with you, Matts and Ish one day. I know Matts well, I met Ish once and you are such a cool guy. Btw, I noticed you have a lot of poles, pole holders, fish finder, etc around your kayak; if you flip over isn’t it hard to get back into the kayak with all that stuff. Another great video !!!
Congrats on the new kayak! I see many exciting fish catches in your future. It isn't too bad to hop in my kayak and I can always take off some of the rod holders if necessary. Hope to see you on the water some day!
Yeah this was the least windy day of the month, lol. Been blown off that lake many times. Another good place we can hit up with Ish in his inflatable if the weather is right!
Awesome Stripers... Yeah, some lakes that are strict on live minnows usually makes us drain the water out, and refill it with drinking water before launching... protect the lake from mussels I guess
It depends on the bait and the application. If you find your bait dying, try hooking closer to the front of the mouth. If you hook it too far back, you hit some vital organs and that will kill the bait faster.
Great video you should wear a life vest though my friend I want to keep watching videos plus the game warden catches you pretty sure he will lecture you on having a life vest and may give you a ticket just letting you know it's really easy to forget and if something happened like some crazy man on a speedboat hits you wich I hope never happens the vest will keep your head above water other than that keep up the great videos I messaged fisherman's life and said you to need to partner up you would do crazy good I promise you that you guys would kill it with promotions and shit good job
Thanks for watching and your comment. I did have a life vest on the kayak but was not wearing it. I agree it is safer to wear it rather than just have it in the boat. It was just too dang hot out there, lol. In the ocean I always wear it though.
And yeah, hoping to get out with Fisherman's life soon! I am afraid he is going to leave me in the dust with his new zodiac but I'll see what I can do, haha

Eventually they will find their way into the canal system and SLR....it is inevitable.
Great Video. Love that lake when it's calm like that.
Thanks! Only a matter of time before they start showing up in the surf!
Nice video , thanks for sharing ,
Can you tell me about your rod? length and Model please? looks like a Calcutta rod . thanks.
Nice catch man! That some good eating fish. Fish on
You bet!
Good video, where did you get those live minnow btw?
A local tackle shop, Coyote Bait and Tackle if you live in the area.

Hey What type of kayak do you have? Big fan of yours! Keep up the the videos!
Hobie Outback, its great!
Nice catches bro. keep up the good work.
Thanks!
is that the basalt size or recreation area
I launched at the Dinosaur Point ramp
thank you👍
Man, that water sure looked nice!! It gets sooo windy there sometimes!! Nice catches!!
Yeah this was the least windy day of the month, lol. Been blown off that lake many times. Another good place we can hit up with Ish in his inflatable if the weather is right!
Nice footage, I've been going to slr every weekend, hopefully I can run into you one of these days. Just subbed.
Thanks for checking out the channel and subscribing! Hope to see you out the someday.
Are you even allowed to use minnows there ?
How long did you troll for before hooking up?
Maybe an hour or so
What kinda hooks you using for those live minnows?
Small live bait hooks, I think like size 2 or 3.
Where do you get the minnows? Going there this weekend but never fished for striper :/
I got them from a local tackle shop, Coyote Bait and Tackle.
Great video 👍🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thanks!
Nice catch, nice video. Liking the music man. How do those fish cook up? Ive always been curious. Ive only caught undersize from surf.
They are a real mild fish. The fish from the ocean are a little tastier in my opinion but both cook up real nicely.
Awesome Stripers... Yeah, some lakes that are strict on live minnows usually makes us drain the water out, and refill it with drinking water before launching... protect the lake from mussels I guess
Thats interesting, never had to do that. Makes sense to avoid spreading invasive species.
Wasn’t the striped bass state record caught in that reservoir?
Yes, I believe so! They have some over 50 pounds in that lake. I think the record is around 60 if I remember correctly.
What size is the leader ??
20 pound test
okay so 20 lb leader? same size as regular line? mono or flouro?
yeah same as the main line. I used mono but flouro will work too!
Do you typically rig livebait through the lips? Can never keep a bait alive long enough doing that
It depends on the bait and the application. If you find your bait dying, try hooking closer to the front of the mouth. If you hook it too far back, you hit some vital organs and that will kill the bait faster.

Those wardens can be strict. I had a little water in my kayak and they denied my inspection. He wouldn't even let me wipe it down. Waste of a trip.
Yeah they can be pretty strict. I always double check everything in the morning before I go.
Where are you based out of I'm trying to get a big group of youtube kayak fisherman to fish with/ a little tournament hit my up @Rumbol.G
I fish mostly in the Bay Area.
Those are not shad you don't know what a shad looks like
