Fishin the kelp with swimbaits - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ya i would suggest using a 1 to 2 ounce jig head, and using 5 to 6 1/2 inch swim baits, mc big hammers, or island plastics. if its overcast trying using darker colors and when the sun comes out you want to throw something that has some sparkle to it, i use Christmas tree or just any bait fish color when the suns out. when fishing for calico you need to fish out where there are in the water coloum, they arent always on the bottom, try different retrieve speeds. also try casting on top of the kelp then when you get to a hole put your reel in free spool and let it sink out.
hope this helps Reed
