Rockfish info needed - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yup, what Jeff said.

I go lighter, only because it sucks getting hung up in the reef on 65# braid. I usually use 30# floro, because YT have been known to cruise by once in a while and snatch up those squids and I would prefer to be prepared.

Floro is also highly abrasion resistant for when the rock fish take your rig into the reef over, and over, and over, and over.....and over and over and over again.

Finding them isn't hard when you have a meter. Bounce from lobster buoy to lobster buoy and look for speckles on the bottom, reefs, drop off, kelp, boulders....
Anything and everything will hold rockfish.
