Carlsbad power plant, Bass, Barber Poles and Baleen Whales - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My version goes like this
3/0 to 4/0 wide gap worm hook tied with a palomar knot with an 18" tag end left I like gamakatsu
A snap swivel tied to the tag end with a clinch knot
A 1to 2 oz torpedo sinker clipped to the snap
In la Jolla I attach the torpedo to the snap with a rubber band. If it gets caught on the rocks while fishing the band breaks and the rig stays intact. hope this helps. You can switch out baits real fast to target different species. Works on all kinds of fish from Hali to calicos to rockfish.

I've launched out of Ponto a few times. I'm gonna have to try the power plant next.

I board fished it today for a few calicos. There was a whale there today as well. Really nice and clear water.
