    Would you ever consider doing an instructional video on how to read the ocean conditions and determine what are the safest/best days to go out on a kayak? Or possibly other ocean kayak fishing how tos? I really want to get into it but I know so little about it and want to do it safely but just don't know where to start.

      Hey Chris I’m a huge fan of your channel. Quick question…. Is tamales bay/hog island fishable for crab right now with all of these storms and big swell? Figured since I saw your comment on here I’d hit you up.

    Nice work Adam. On Jan 5th 2023 we said goodbye to our Seacliff pier as it crumbled into the ocean while pounded by 30 ft swells. Capitola pier is also severely damaged where a large chunk in the middle of the pier is now missing and the piers piling severely damaged. May not be boat rentals in 2023 at Capitola giving kayakers great opportunities to fish the local reefs with less fishing pressure.

    Adam, Nice Ling. As you well know your bait for Lings, the Monkey Faced is great eating. You skin them like a catfish and fry them in oil. All they have is a backbone, which separates from the two sides when fried. Taste almost as good as the Ling.

    nice. That reminds me of a time when I was 13 years old fishing under a commercial license off the coast of Boinas, where I grew up. I caught a 30 lb lingcod, It promptly barfed up a 2 lb octopus... Which I stuck on my jig and send it back down, Got another one just like it. The conditions were absolutely the same: crystal clear water and no swell. One could see fish all over the place down there. That same day I caught a 20 lb Atlantic Cod. It looked about like a lingcod but didn't have the teeth and it was black. long way from the Atlantic...
    Peace, man.

    Wow! Nice way to end the season! I got at least 6 keepers over the last month and a half… swim baits, squid, jigs. But next year, I’m switching to live bait. Already got my blue bullet bait holder. (Hope it’s the 2.0.) Also, switching from the Humminbird to the Garmin I just purchased, simplify my fish finder. Hope there’s a season! 5 months, then deeper water?
    Well done, DHF!

    Adam, those foam grips on your gaff are crap. Find someone to tie a diamond pattern cord handle. If you want your gaff to float, fill it with spray foam insulation or wrap the mid-section with pipe insulation foam (like those kids pool noodles, just not so thick).

    I know it sounds kind of gross, but I have learned so much on what fish forage on bu doing this.
    Examples - sculpin with whole crabs or octopus
    - Sand bass with a huge rock crab
    - Calico Bass and Johnny bass with blue shrimp
    - 40 LB yellowtail with a whitefish
    I use shrimp lures in the Kelp now and they get crushed.
