knots

Knots you need to know:

1. clinch/improved clinch
2. dropper loop
3. reverse dropper loop
4. modified/reverse albright (tying braid to mono or flouro)
5. Palomar
6. spider hitch

these knots will cover just about any situation or tactic you will encounter in kayak fishing. If you want to target trophy fish such as yellowtail, you should be fishing 30-40# test or 50-65# braid. Fishing for calico bass or other smaller species you can get away with 15-20#.

Catch mackerel with a sibiki, use live mackerel for bait. That's pretty much all you need to know to get started!
