General Fishing Tips / Re: Channel Islands harbor area kayak fishing
« on: August 12, 2021, 05:28:48 PM »
Not sure if you went yet, but google Kiddie Beach Channel Islands harbor.  Super easy launch with no waves.  Just paddle out to the breakwall and fish.  Normally its better on the outer side of the breakwall but if its too rough you can fish the inside of the wall.  I would usually use a 3" or 4" Big Hammer and just swim it back or drop it in the pockets.  You can usually catch some small Calicos or Sandbass, brown rockfish, or the occasional cabezon.  The other spot to fish is just off of Hollwyood beach and drift for halibut.  I would usually use a drop shot set-up and just slowly bounce the bait when drifting.

You can also launch out of Ventura Harbor at the public launch and again fish the breakwall.

I've also fished around the Waikoloa area and never down that far South.  I usually like to use Kastmaster and do pretty well with the papio.  I'd also bring some water bubble's, egg sinkers and 2" grubs in assorted colors.  This is usually the most consistent produce of reef fish as well as papio.  If you end up hitting a market you can pick up squid or shrimp and its game on with a small hook for all the reef fish.

I bought a bunch of them I think over Black Friday when Bass Pro put them on sale for like 50% off.  They seem to do that every year or so.  I used them when I moved to Hawaii to bring a bunch of my tools over when I was flying back and forth before I shipped a POD.  They held up carrying almost 50 lbs of gear and took a beating with no issues, I used the Medium size.  They should have no issues storing stuff outdoors and will keep your stuff dry.

If you caught it in New Melones, it’s probably Sacramento Pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus grandis).
Northern Pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) is a Columbia River basin speacies.
They’re pretty much same though...

agree on a Sacramento Pike Minnow based on location....I use to catch a few every season on the Delta...they would gobble up a senko or drop shot bait

General Talk / Re: Warm Weather Paddle Pants
« on: January 29, 2020, 04:34:16 PM »
i already have a couple of lightweight hiking pants, never thought of using them.  I'll have to try them out.  I have a pair of reef boots so I'll wear that to prevent my feet from getting burned.  I fished out of Baja years ago from a kayak and was in shorts and got burned on the legs so wanted to avoid that.

General Talk / Warm Weather Paddle Pants
« on: January 28, 2020, 12:37:03 PM »
So I moved to Hawaii and getting settled to finally take out the kayak.  The paddle pants I currently have are a neoprene and a lighter weight waterproof pair.  These both will be too hot for here.

Anyone have recommendations on a very lightweight pair of paddle pants?  I'm looking more for sun protection.

Are you going for more numbers or size?

If for the bigger fish as DeltaYakR recommended go with large swimbaits, I use to do well on a 6" Big Hammer.  If you want numbers, hard to beat a jerkbait or an Alabama Rig.  Fish the channels with water flowing in/out of Sherman Lake area.  Water movement was key and keep moving till you find them.

last time i went on a 3-day, I remember using my 30lb and 40lb rods quite a bit.  I had a 50lb rig and don't think i touched it.  I also did have a 20lb rig which I used some.  I took 5 rods (20lb, two 30lbs, 40lb, 50lb) and borrowed the trolling rod from the boat.

With your Saltiga 35...load it with 40 or 50lb braid and just take some 20, 30, and 40lb mono/fluoro and run a short top shot on the lb test needed.
