What is your ideal rig for ... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I fully admit to being completely lost when it comes to saltwater fishing. I have also noticed that I'm not the only newb that has been here lately. That being said, I am not new to fishing and know that you can ask a dozen fishermen for the "best way" to do something and you'll get a dozen different responses. I'm still curious what you experienced Yakkers do to haul in the big ones. So, allow me to ask you fish masters a couple of questions.

What is your favorite reel/rod/line/bait set-up for catching:
1) White seabass
2) yellow tail
3) halibut
4) calico
5) ling cod
6) any favorite fish you have in mind

I'd appreciate any details you can include, i.e. carolina rig, circle hook, weight size, etc. Thanks, fellas!

blah blah blah, everyones giving you a hard time. I personaly like carolina rigs, for every fish listed. Its just a matter of the bait you use. Flylining swim baits is more natural, but keeping them weighed down helps with a fast drifting current/wing/trolling, and keeps furfaces off your back. Double dropper loops work well for rock fish/ling cod/whitefish/sheeps with cut squid.

Each targeted fish requires its own rig and that changes too.

For example, yellowtail: live bait, surface iron, or yo yo. Add in winter or summer...

And, halibut: shallow or deep? Live bait or artificial? Long Beach, Dana or La Jolla...

Don't worry about learning it all at once. It's kinda like
dating, learn as you go.
