Double Trifecta, Newport 3-30-17 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Haven't fished meat in a long, long time. But, I'm sure it works great in the harbor. And yes, the bait barge is open again.

Thanks for the report. Nice job on the trifecta's! Haven't been able to get that bass trifecta yet.

I fish almost exclusively 1/4 oz jig heads in a lot of the same areas you fish and seem to have done ok. I think you're right though, when the wind picks up towards the afternoon I'm usually gone already and you would need a heavier jig head at that time.

Thanks again!

Do you fish spinning gear? I could probably barely cast a 1/4oz on my baitcasters. But, I haven't tried in a long time. A decent Spinning outfit is my next major fishing purchase,

Just gotta have the right baitcaster/rod setup. What weight line are you using?

Amish Ed · 03-31-2017, 11:42 AM

10lb and 17lb CXX. Depends on the bait.

Then you can throw them like a traditional bass rig. 200 sized reel (I love Daiwa Tatulas and Lexas) and a MH/F rod of your choice.

10lbs test on the right casting rig can toss even weightless plastics a decent distance. It's all about the line+reel+rod setup.

I can toss weightless senkos, so that's all I need
