I floated around like a clueless person ...

I've patented this technique.

Haha, that usually describes me too, especially when I'm bass fishing. I always catch more bass if I say I'm fishing for trout. 

I think fishing (especially kayak fishing) has been steadily growing in popularity in the last few years, which in turn created a market response (increased prices). 

The beauty part of fishing is that there are countless ways to go fishing, and there are no wrong answers.  Keep it simple and just throw a worm on a hook looking for a trout or bluegill, or buy a million dollar boat and $100k+ in gear to go troll for tuna or marlin, or anything in between.  The only wrong answer is to sit at home when you could go outside and catch a fish.

That's the spot.  Make sure to lock your car.  Plan your trip with tides in mind - the current can be rough though there.  Wind picks up in the afternoon, and it gets pretty choppy, especially if the wind and current is going opposite directions. 

Smelt are usually plentiful, and sabiki rigs with 3 hooks (SF Bay regs) can be trolled with good success. Sometimes they are kinda big for bait, but you know what they say about big baits...

Normal halibut strategy works here, fish the edges of the holes/deep spots and you will probably find halibut.  There is a shallow flat just outside the launch that holds stripers too.

There are usually other kayakers out there, and often folks from here. 

What a beautiful spot!  Big trek to the water, but probably epic fishing once you are out there.

Nice work!

Didn't NoWhereMan have a similar encounter last year, and receive a citation? I think he was trying to get the app to open and it wouldn't, so they gave him a citation ... I might have some details mixed up tho.

Moo, great video as always - squids are one of my favorites too!  Glad you did not get a citation for something trivial.

Nice work! Cabezons are one of my favorite fish - so tasty!

Very cool!
