How-To Fish the Kelp - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I like to trailer 3/4oz- 1 1/2oz warbaits with 6" grubs. I will either jig them down deep,or cast them out as far as I can parallel with the kelp and into the current. I will let it sink down about 15'-20' and swim it back slowly. This is one technique that has produced the most and biggest Calico's for me. Also I like to bounce 5"-6" swim baits around the outsides of the kelp and shallow rock piles for Calico's and sandies. I found 50-65lb braid with a 20lb floro leader spliced by an Albright knot is an awesome combo.
