Bloated Rock Cod - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for this thread. We all treasure the resource and sometimes we need a little nudge to do what we know is right. Nothing is a bigger bummer in the SM Bay than watching guys catch 6 inchers and letting them float. (Then complain about all the dick fish they catch.) To save space on the yak and avoid bringing an extra rod, I just used a big old line spool with 100' of 40 lb. terminating in a 10 oz. jig head, barb crimped and tied at the bend. Handline it up and down. If a furbag grabs the rocky on its way back down we'll just hope for the best!
