Hobie Kayaks / 2021 Outback rod holder for trolling
« on: December 12, 2024, 07:23:10 PM »
Any advice on what rod holder/configuration to use for trolling?
I have a yakattak with a 2 piece arm, but I couldn’t find a comfortable trolling position. I either point my backward (but that way I can’t see the tip) or somehow I have my rod butt hitting my legs while pedaling.

General Fishing Tips / Trolling advice
« on: November 30, 2024, 09:29:33 PM »
I tried trolling for lings and it’s been a disaster  :smt009
I used a 3 way swivel, one arm attached to a torpedo sinker, one with a treble and sliding snell hook and one attached to the main line. It was tangle paradise.. my bait was always twisted around either the sinker line or the main line. I tried only sending it down while moving, same thing.
What are your best trolling advices?

General Talk / Humbling experience at HMB
« on: November 27, 2024, 09:54:38 PM »
Yesterday I went to Half Moon Bay for my first solo outing and second time on the ocean ever. Day looked good on the forecast, pretty flat and no wind so I hit the water early. By the time I approached the jetties the water started to feel choppy. As I entered the big blue I was welcomed by waves bigger than expected, I ventured out no more than 300 ft before realizing I was out of my comfort zone. I made the call to head back in the harbor. To not waste the day I started crabbing inside the harbor and as the day improved I ventured out again, not going far but getting used to the open water.
Ended the day with 4 keepers and the realization that I really need to learn to estimate waves from the shore.
When packing up I met another guy that went out crabbing and after telling him what happened he said: “you need a buddy”. I concur :smt005

Safety First / Acceptable forecast for beginners
« on: November 09, 2024, 08:53:20 PM »
I’m looking at HMB for tomorrow with a swell of 6’ and 3 knots of wind, are those acceptable conditions for a beginner there?
It seems ok to me (would prefer smaller swell), but it would be my first time there and I would value a second opinion 😁

Introductions / Greetings from the Bay Area

Hi everyone,
It’s Daniel here, new member and kayak fishing newbie! I’ve been surf fishing for about a year and finally decided to make my move on the water! I’m stacking up gear and getting some basic training, hopefully starting to be active soon. Here I hope to find tips, directions, but most importantly connections! See you on the water!
