plz Help
 

I'm putting a tackle kit together for fishing the harbor on my kayak, my target will be Halibut ,bay Bass mainly, but what ever else I can catch in the harbor is welcome. I dont plan on goin out of the harbor, so now that I have set the parameters, what type of jigs,weight of jigs,do I need for plastics also what weight in sinker for drifting for halibuts, hook size. any info will be welcome and well taken. thank you for taking the time to help.

Cotee Cracker shad and shrimp on 1/4-3/4oz Cotee heads. Also the Cracker minnow on the dropshot. Also try drop shotting Slug-o's and other jerk baits. We have the Cotee baits on the BWE store at www.kayakfishingsupplies.com

There are alot of fishing magazines on the market that you could take advantage of. They are full of great info. on the type of fishing you are interested in. Good luck out there........

Gulp shrimp, jerk shad, swimming mullet all work well. Dropshot, carolina rig or on a 1/4-3/8 lead. Wams....my favorite again:D small swimbaits like Big Hammers in greens/blues,whites and browns in 3" to 5 " leadheads from 1/4 to 1/2 deep diving crank baits like Fat Free Shad, shad raps in perch or crawdad 3/4oz + white or chartreuse spinner baits........some of my favorites.

Ghost shrimp work great, catching smelt, buying a $5 scoop of sardines. #2 hook 1/2-2 oz lead, trap rigged or not. 4 pound line to 40 depending on how I feel.:D

What harbor are you planning to fish?

Check out BWE's current gulpman, and former plasticman and ironman contest threads.

You never can go wrong with some big hammers & leadheads, and crocodile or kastmaster lures. They've always been helpful to me.

The chartreuse grub with a leadhead especially for bay bass has almost never failed me.

my 2 cents

Los Alamitos /Long Beach. I also want to thank you guys for all the input .very valuable help, I would hate to make the 40 mile trip not prepare so thx for all the help.

Watch the tides. A strong incoming tide always works best for me.
