Hello All,

I've recently been trying to find information on the max amount of hooks allowed when fishing for California Halibut in SF Bay. I found a section in the CDFW that mentions no more than 2 hooks when fishing for Pacific Halibut, does anyone know if this applies to California Halibut as well? (Attached a screenshot of the section) There's also mention of one line with up to three hooks within SF Bay but in regards to fin fish. I'm trying to determine if it would be legal to use a trap rig with and a hoochie with a hook further up the line when fishing for California Halibut. Thank you for any clarification!

Planning to try fishing Monterey this Saturday for the first time targeting sand dab/halibut (maybe squid?). The conditions seem quite nice and I'm planning to launch from the Coast Guard Pier and heading out about a mile to 120+ FOW based on previous suggestions for Sand Dabs. Welcome any company or additional tips for fishing this part of Monterey.

Hello!

I'm currently scoping out an used Outback for my first kayak and it seems to be overall in good condition. One thing the seller mentioned is that there's a slight chip on the Mirage Drive where a piece of plastic came off, he mentioned Hobie said it was superficial and not an issue. Hoping someone with more experience than me can confirm if this seems like a non-issue based on the screenshots. Thank you!

Hey All,

Just getting started with kayak fishing and trying to piece together all all of the basics, I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the Malone AirFlow2 Rails - https://www.amazon.com/Malone-AirFlow2-Universal-Crossrail-System/dp/B06XK7KSHB/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I'm planning on getting a Hobie Outback or Compass and am debating if it's necessary to get a more expensive thule/yakima setup or going with a more budget option like this would be fine. I'd plan on pairing these with rack pads on a 2021 Crosstrek.

Any insight greatly appreciated!
