Buzz Cut: Mow the Weeds with a Kelp Cutter RigWith yellowtail popping at La Jolla and the islands, its time to break out the surface trolling gear, jig up some mackerel, and get your fish on. Of course there’s often a snag. If you’re anywhere near the kelp you’re living dangerously. Anything but the smallest yellowtail is in the driver’s seat. If it’s a kelp seeking missile (they usually are), in nothing flat that fork-tailed motor will tow a kayak straight into the jungle. Savvy kayakers have an answer in the kelp cutter rig.

Safety Snippets: Tip to Keep you Kayak FishingOh no, not the safety thing again! Yep, its time for another save-your soul-primer. Stick with it. If you’re out on the water long enough, eventually trouble will find you. Will you be ready? Ok, kayak fishing isn’t so dangerous it requires a crash helmet... at least not most of the time. Still, bad things occasionally happen to good people. The fog rolls steals in, the wind and swell kick up, or maybe someone plays it a little too loose and goes for an unplanned swim. It pays to be prepared. Are you Ready? |
