Any kayak fishermen / women here? Ever fish Cabo?

Not a Kayak trip, but these skiff trips look really fun.
I have fished this boat for years and it is a A+ operation

My biggest (or I should say OUR biggest) catch in the kayaks was a 5 1/2 foot black tip in the glades around HiltonHead island... I had to hand off to my nephew since he was in the front (tandem kayak) bcuz the shark was pulling us sideways/backwards which wasn't good...

I've only been on east coast shark charters and caught some big lemons. If that sardine choker in my original post can land a 1250 lb fish I think I could handle a a 200lb yellowfin... IF not I could always cut the line...

Im ready to give it a whirl come spring time in PV...

On the fishing kayaks, is there some sort of harness you can strap the rod to in order to gain leverage on the fish?

I know when you are on the sport fishers, they use the body harness and strap the rod/reel to you so you can use your body weight as leverage. Just trying to figure out how you achieve just leverage in a sitting position?

OUTstanding... that looks awesome... Are they fishing off of they SanDiego coast or is that the Channel Islands?

I fish soft baits like that most of the time, my favorite...

I did get some nice calico bass at Catalina and saw the yellowtails every bit as big as the ones in that video destroying a bait ball... That looks outstanding...

Neither, the boat leaves out of San Diego and fishes off of Baja at either Cedros Island or Guadeloupe Island. I think it's like a 5 day trip.

When in spring do you think you are going and for how long?

Cedros Island , I couldnt understand what he was saying with my crappy laptop speakers...

THE spring trip will be a combo for our 30th anniversary and kayak fishing

we still have to carve out the schedule, prolly two weeks... I have free flights directly to PV...

IF you or anyone else is interested in a trip to Catalina for some kayak fishing on the back side of the island Im game... I have been trying to get to Little Harbor to check out the fishing for a while...

Lol I hear ya. Kim and I are going to Cancun for New Years for a couple weeks and I told her if were there I need a couple days of fishing while we are down there!

I'm def up for a trip to Catalina just need a little notice so I can take the time off work if it's a weekday. Let me know when you plan on heading out here again.

We will be back out around the end of October to tie up some loose ends and take in the Parker Enduro. I dont have the flight dates nailed down yet, maybe later today I will get that done.
