You might be surprised to discover that once you are out there, things that you fear may not seem nearly as bad as you had imagined.

Haha… all in days work!🎣😃

So far, I’ve only got knocked out of the kayak once on the way out… but on the back to the beach, that’s whole other story!🤣🤣

All good except for that barred surfperch I found in my wetsuit!🎣🤣🤣

Thanks for watching Dale. It’s actually amazingly peaceful out there and definitely my happy place.🎣😃

What if every fisherman kept every legal size fish they caught? Eventually, only small undersized fish would remain. Also, some fish like Calico Bass are really slow growing, so it’s always best to release the big ones. On the flip side, Calicos do make really tasty ceviche. For me, I’ll keep Bluefin, Yellowtail, Dorado, and Halibut… but pretty much everything else I release to live another day. 🎣😃

@@losthorizonfishing107 You really think the demand is so high that all fish would cease to exist? That is laughable.

Many, many fishermen in addition to myself practice “catch and release.” The fact that you don’t understand why is definitely not a problem for me.🎣😃

@@DamienSpires He's a lot nicer than I wouldve been.

@@losthorizonfishing107 Good that it's not your problem (though you felt the need to comment). Hope you have a nice day.

Thanks for watching!😃🎣

Yeah… Black Sea Bass have been on the California’s protected species list since the late 1970’s. In Mexico, just two hours from here they are completely legal to catch and cook.🎣😃

Yeah buddy… excellent weather, good fishing, and fishing with a good friend… it doesn’t get any better than that!🎣😃

@@freshsaltyfries5078 when I first bought my Stealth, I bought a really inexpensive Lowrance Fish Finder and epoxied the small transducer inside the hull. The sonar worked okay, but only in depths less than 100 feet. Because the transducer was inside the hull, side scan and down scan didn’t work at all. Water temperature was all always totally inaccurate. I later upgraded to a much higher end Lowrance Elite FS 7 with the large 3-in-1 transducer (externally mounted) and all the bells and whistles work amazing! It’s much easier to catch live bait, find fish, and locate structure!🎣😃

@@losthorizonfishing107 😀awesome I will try a upgrade

Spotted Bay Bass will always be hanging out near structure…. Docks, rocks, and eel grass. I recommend a 15 pound fluorocarbon leader with either a 1/4oz Hookup Bait (Red Crab) or 1/4oz Warbaits Underspin with a keitech swim bait.🎣😃

Yes…. Cabrillo, which is in San Pedro.🎣😃

I almost always launch at Tower 17, which is about 200 yards north of the little jetty. Fortunately, the deep trench that was just a few feet off the beach has filled in nicely, which makes the launch mush less challenging. However, as you can see from watching my videos, Bolsa is not a flat beach, so coming back to the beach is always a fun adventure. The best thing about fishing from a Stealth is even if you end up in the water while negotiating the surf, all your gear stays safe and dry! Which model Stealth are you fishing out of?🎣😃

@@losthorizonfishing107 I appreciate the tip! And definitely have flipped over a few times from other places haha just trying to be better every time! I’m fishing a Stealth Fusion 480 but eventually want to go up to a ProFisha 475 😊

For launching at Bolsa, I would recommend going on a morning when the tide is really low… the lower the better. You also want to pick a day when the surf report indicates 1-2 foot or 2-3 foot. Another thing that can be helpful is to pick a day when the short interval wind swell is under 2 feet or if you’re really lucky a morning where there is no short interval wind swell. The Stealth fusion 480 is an awesome fishing machine and an excellent choice for open ocean kayak fishing! All your fishing gear is safe and secure inside the hull and you will be much safer in windy, white capped, ocean conditions.

Thanks so much for watching.🎣😃

@@MH-oc4de Calicos and Sand Bass I always release. Yellowtail, Halibut, Tuna, and Dorado I keep.🎣😃

If you'll notice in most of the RU-vid videos it seems to be a fad or trend now for all the fishermen to release their sand bass and calicos. It is what it is I guess. I remember back in the 60s and 70s how good they were to eat. Different generation and different time. 😊

Thanks!🎣😃

I always purchase the California State Beach Pass every year. I live just across the street from the north end of Bolsa Chica, so I’m over there a lot.🎣😃

@losthorizonfishing107 makes sense, how often you launch there. I was thinking about trying to launch from dog beach in huntington, since the parking is cheaper.

Unfortunately… the RU-vid shorts format was definitely not ideal for that clip. The fish was a California Giant Black Sea Bass I hooked last Tuesday off of Huntington Beach.🎣😃

Thanks Glenn!🎣😃

Thanks Anthony… we need to get back to La Jolla!🎣😃

@@losthorizonfishing107 Most definitely; if we can find a calm day, let's go!

It was definitely a very productive morning!🎣😃

Thanks Anthony… it won’t be too long before you are back out there.🎣😃

West Side!🎣😃
