So in general...no love in CDM or Newport Beach..but gardian angel was watching with some signs....

What kind of bait did you make and how did your buddy flip his yak in the harbor?

...Just curious so I don't do it - I really haven't thought about tying down my gear when fishing the harbor but, as I've been reading lately, it seems anything can happen no matter where we're fishing.

Sardines, Anchovies....some macs as well all around the bait barge...you can get a "kayak" scoop for 10.00 which you can pick if you want sard, ancho, or squid...

As for flipping his kayak...not sure how it happened...I think he was hook on some eel grass, maybe leaned over so much that a wave finally pushed him over....it was rippen that day...so moral of the story,,,,make sure your stuff is tied down tightly....and if you have a hobie....secure the mirage drive as well...500.00 for a replacement.....

There is no 10 dollar scoop for squid. He only charges the full price of 60 bucks.

Fin bait is 10 bucks for kayaks

Brutal, Yeah thats how much I lost when I was new to kayakfishing. It's funny thinking back how many times I tested the kayak for stabily before I bought it. I never did tie anything down either.

Your right on the squid...expensive.....frozen works just as well.......

my buddy stated that he was hooked on something when he leaned over and put his hand up then "bubbles" so he says it happened so fast....
