    Nice video. You remind me of someone I met back in 2002 when I lived in Pittsburg Ca. by the Bailey Rd BART station. He was a very good fisherman and fished mostly off the shore at that time around the Bay Area. I went to Iraq later and lost touch with him. Sorry I can’t remember his name. I use to fish off the Berkeley pier for halibut then. I also fished out of my boat but never in a kayak. Nice work. Biggest halibut I ever landed was out of Bodega Bay! What a great trip that was with 2 of my other friends. We limited out there and when we got back to the dock Fish & Game happen to be there checking catches. When he checked us we were all good and he said the 58” one I caught was the biggest he had seen for a couple years. Unfortunately my friend who brought his camera failed to bring fresh batteries so I don’t have a single picture of that fish. 😭

    If you have a smart phone which I'm sure you do, I'm surprised you don't have a GPS app on your phone just for times like this.
    Got my first halibut of the year yesterday 3/29 but was short at19" and that was trolling a
    Lucky Craft 110. I have a 14' aluminum skiff with a 15hp merc and a trolling motor, I'm too old to be fighting a kayak but with a small boat Im pretty much locked into the same weather precautions as a kayak. Great job on gaffe and a fantastic fish.

    Halibut on ultralight tackle or Ice rod. I’ve done it with an 8’ UL, 8lb fluorocarbon, 1000 size reel & a Zman TRD Ned rig. Also done it with a 36” Medium, 10lb braid, 500 size reel, TRD Craw Ned rig.

    Great catched. I use 80AH amped Outdoors battery and it last me all day trolling for striper and trouts. It's about $600 but it's so worthed. I did over 20+ miles one day trolling for trouts and still got juice left over.

  • @62asolor

    I'm curious why you use the fluorocarbon leader. I know it is less visible but doesn't it also sink the line a bit more? I guess maybe when trolling it doesn't matter?

    Have you tries using a trolling spoon with a large single hook instead of bending it? It seems it would make for a more “natural” presentation.

    When I use fresh herring for trolling I noticed the mouth opens and can keep your bait from rolling. So I went to the hardware store and bought some wire to twist tie it's mouth shut. It works great! So I thought I would pass that on.

  • @RMatra
    @RMatra 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You probably know this, you can make your herring or other bait fish firmer by rock salting them. A good way to put a nice bend in the herring is to insert a toothpick behind head into the shoulder along the backbone to peg a nice bend in the body.
