OG Kayak Setup for La Jolla - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Great video as usual Chris!

You don't need a Hobie to catch fish.
You don't need a Talica to catch fish.
You don't need Ulua to catch fish.

Its just about getting out and time on the water.

Great reminder from Chris. As the lawyers and logicians might put it: "Fancy gear may be sufficient, but it isn't necessary!"

My first setup was a 1990s OK Malibu 2 with two rod holders. No FF. Fishing by guesswork. Chris was there when I caught my first ever YT on it using a ~$100 lever drag setup with a wobbly handle.

That boat is still in my garage for when friends and family want to join me for a fish!

X2........Just don't buy a sit in Walmart kayak, if you are going to go in the surf.

My first kayak was a grey SPTW. Turns out it was Jim Sammons' original marlin kayak.

Next one was a blue Prowler 15. Turned out that one was Rhino's from his dvd's on catching threshers.

Kayaks had a legendary pedigree.

My use, not so much.

Great video. Really brings me back to when I first started on a prowler 15 setup just like that no finder and everything. Eventually upgraded to a 5 gallon bucket bait tank.
