Rock fish opener tomarow!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

How heavy of a bucktail do you have to have to get to the bottom? Do people commonly use just the dropper loop setup?

Also, I've never been to La Jolla, just been fishing the bays so if someone wouldnt mind shooting me a PM when they go out next time so I could tag along that would be awesome. For safety reasons I wouldn't want to fish by myself on the open water and I would also really like to learn from some veterans.

Thanks in advance.

The Dropper loop works, Halibut rigs work, pretty much anything that is weighted enough to get down to the bottom will work. Some locations I fish are in the 200 foot range. I know you can catch them shallower, but many of the good fish are deep. I will use a 3 to 4oz. torpedo, I have at one time used 8oz but that was because the drift was insanly fast.

As spring approaches and fish start biting, soon you will be able to hit LJ on just about any day, early AM, and there will be some yaks a launching.

I plan to hit the water by 6:30am this Friday. I'll be in the Mello Yellow Revo
