Boiler checkers? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Boiler rock fishing is a blast. The calicos have always seamed especially aggressive in the boilers to me. A fast retrieve I find works better and if you try to work the bottom you'll get hung up often. I've found the calis wait right at the edge of the white water and pounce on the bait fish that a disiriented in the wash. One last thing watch your back. Its easy to drift in to the boiler or have a larger wave roll in. If you have a hobie especially, no reverse, but on any yak, keep your paddle in your lap and have your head on a swivle. Mike
