Tons of Butts & Bass | Dana Point Harbor - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi guys, I finally had a chance to make a movie of ?The Office?!

I hope you have a chance to view it in your free time 😃

Summary:
We had some really nice weather the last weekend of June, so I went to Dana Point and fished the incoming tide. The bait barge had a mix of sardines and anchovies, some on the smaller side up to 4 inches long. It didn?t matter!

And it didn?t take too long to get bit and it turned out to be a great day! Have a look. We caught lots of halibut and plenty of bass.

Setups:
On one rod I used a knocker rig with a 1/0 circle hook, half ounce egg sinker, and bead. My other rod had a reverse dropper loop with a three-quarter ounce torpedo sinker and 1/0 a circle hook.

The bait barge charges $25 for a kayak scoop. Hope you guys make it down south sometime this season!
