I'll chime in with a few disclaimers. I have never caught a legal WSB, I don't fish at night with the squid crew, my fish finder broke down a few years ago and I never replaced it, I rarely fish for calicos, rock fish, or lings, I started "kayak" fishing from a paddle board about 15 years ago, Iv'e fished from IB to Salt Creek and on the east coast, and due to some personal and finance issues I haven't been fishing as much as I would like of late. OK, I can carry about 4 rods on my kayak so I have to double duty my gear. I typicly bring a surface iron stick, a 30-40lb heavy bait/yo-yo stick, a 25-30lb bait rod. Depending on season and what is biting I'll sub in another jig stick or another a bait rod a my 4th outfit. I can say that I never fish less than 30lb line in LJ. Most of my YT have been taken on slow trolled green macks. I rarely use a wieght, usually have a short fluoro leader, and a circle hook that matches bait size. I target halibut with the same bait, line, and hooks but use a torpedo sinker and dropper loop. I have also caught YT, bass, and lings while fishing the bottom for halis. I try to keep things simple tackle wise; 3-4 light irons, 3-4 heavies, 2 sizes fluoro, 3-5 sinkers, 2 sibikis, 1 pack each of 3 sizes of hooks. I rambled a bit. Hope it helps. Mike
