« on: November 01, 2021, 12:59:58 PM »

Hello everyone! Its been a while since I've posted here but I have a question for everyone: Have any of you had any luck using live shore crabs as bait? I tried it recently without much success (video below). Any suggestions???

Thanks!

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / First Sturgeon Adventure

« on: February 05, 2020, 08:22:28 PM »

Gave sturgeon a try from the kayak for the first time and I think this species is officially at the top of my list now. Fishing was tough but I was able to play tug of war with a powerful cousin of the sturgeon. Big shoutout to Matt (Baron) for showing us the rope! I will be back...

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / skunked on salmon, hit by a boat, and caught my PB Lingcod

Hey guys, hope this video provides a little entertainment and reminds all that boat/kayak safety is no joke. Always be aware of your surroundings. Lucky that nobody was hurt out there. Thanks to everyone who helped and checked to make sure everything was ok. A lot of knowledgeable and helpful people on this board and I am grateful for that. Stay safe out there and tight lines!

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Re: POACHED at Half Moon Bay

« on: June 02, 2019, 08:22:23 AM »

I appreciate the feedback from all the anglers on this forum with many more years of experience than I do. As stated above, I do have the single strand of untreated cotton twine on the top of the crab trap and I have bent the opening to ensure the diameter is 5 inches wide. I have reviewed the regulations on the following link and I believe my traps would be legal according to what is outlined there:

If my understanding is incorrect, please let me know. I do like to be informative in my videos and would hate to be using something that others would copy and then be subject to a fine. If I have missed something than I am sure others have too and I would be happy to clarify in another video so that everyone can be better informed.

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / POACHED at Half Moon Bay

« on: June 01, 2019, 09:44:48 PM »

Hey fellow kayak anglers. Took the kayak out for a quick crab/rockfish combo in Half Moon Bay in between all the bad weather we have been getting. Dropped two pots and then headed out in search of a ling near the green can. No luck on the lingcod so went back in to salvage the day with some crab. One pot was loaded and the other didn't have any... I don't know for sure if it was poached but does seem pretty fishy. Here is the video report from the day:

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Christmas Crabs!!!!

« on: December 26, 2018, 12:22:16 PM »

Took a trip out last weekend to get a few dungies for the family on Christmas. It was a quick trip and only had time for a 3 hour soak but did pretty well. Got 6 dungies and 3 rocks. Tried a unique style of baiting once again but it didn’t quite turn out as I hoped

Full report and video here:

Second part to this day (fishing portion) coming later this week! Merry Christmas!!!

Hey Adam, you should make this your Thanksgiving traditional crabbing. Offering turkey once a year

Hey moo! I like that idea!!!!

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / A Thanksgiving Feast (for the crabs)

« on: November 23, 2018, 01:20:17 PM »

Took out the kayak in search of some crabs at HMB earlier this week. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I would try out some turkey as bait. Instead, I ended up feeding all the crabs out there. I ended up bringing home 3 keepers but you’ll have to watch the video for the full story.

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / HUGE Striped Bass Off the Rocks

« on: August 10, 2018, 12:41:06 PM »

I know this isn't a kayak report but I thought you guys might enjoy watching me hop around on the rocks and finally land a solid striped bass from the surf. I caught on the outgoing tide around 11am in the morning last weekend. More details in the video. I'm on a little bit of a roll after catching my PB Salmon on my previous out. That video is also live on the channel. Enjoy!

Hope to get back out on the kayak again soon!

Thank you all for the advice. I think I will switch out the cable for braid. See you guys on the water!

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / New Downrigger, first salmon of 2018!

« on: July 24, 2018, 11:15:46 PM »

It has been a long time coming but I finally landed my first Salmon of 2018, and from the kayak! I just got the down rigger for the kayak and it worked perfectly! I am sure everyone here has more experience with it so feel free to shoot me any tips you have! I have heard switching the downrigger cable to braid helps. Is it worth switching out? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Here is the video!!!
