Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Monterey Squidding | Important RockFish Regulations

« on: October 31, 2024, 04:57:11 PM »

In this episode of TLA, I continue squid fishing in Monterey Bay, where the action has been intense and exciting! Squid of market size are perfect for dishes like calamari and also make excellent bait for larger fish such as halibut, lingcod, and rockfish. They even work as scent bait for lobsters and crabs. With so many uses, I couldn't resist getting my squid fix!

I also brought my Insta360 X4 on the kayak for the first time to film—and I’m loving it! The camera captures incredible views, letting you experience the fun of this fishery right there with me on the kayak.

Additionally, there have been significant regulatory changes to the Rockfish season, including mid-season depth restrictions and retention limits on certain species. These new rules have caused confusion and led to numerous fines and tickets. To help clarify, I talked with DFG wardens about the regulations to better inform the public. We all want to enjoy fishing without worrying about tickets, and the wardens aren’t thrilled about issuing them either. I hope you enjoy this informative and entertaining episode of TLA!

On this week's episode of TLA. Join me for a recap of the exciting Monterey Bay Kayak Fishing Tournament directed by Tournament Director Adam Helm and hosted by Monterey Bay Kayaks (MBK)! 🌊

This year the tournament saw over 100 skilled kayakers paddle out to compete for the top spot, showing off their fishing skills in beautiful Monterey Bay. The event wasn’t just about the competition, though—it was also a chance to give back!

As always, the event was filled with great food, a fantastic potluck, and an unforgettable after-party that brought everyone together to celebrate a day well spent on the water.
