Rockfish opener weekend on the Solo Skiff
The Solo Skiff is such a great fishing machine. So much faster to and from the fishing ground. Loving it!
Here is my video from this weekend opener in Redondo Beach. https://youtu.be/tceKKg_I4Jc -Quang Last edited by AlwaysFishing; 03-07-2021 at 10:51 PM. |

Very nice

If you want to lower that seat they do make a almost flush swivel, different then the pvc one that adds an extra 3” or so. Just a thought. I see your hand grabbing seat for leverage, check out Marks he put a 9” H-rail to grab instead of a rope to the bow. Hope to see ya in SD sometime. You on SoCal Solo Skiff page? |

Thanks Nick!
I ordered one of the low profile seat swivel. I am thinking of changing the seat to something with less cushion so it is lower. I am still debating about the 9" H-Rail. I was thinking of installing a large piece of rope and use that like you would ride a bull. I am short so reaching the H-Rail to hang on requires me to kind of leaning forward. With the rope I can make it to fit what I need. Still debating. Maybe the H-Rail will work after I switch out the seat and swivel. San Diego is a long drive so I will probably go if you can guarantee me a YT.. ![]() Yes I am on SoCal Solo Skiff page. -Quang Quote:

Hi Quang, this is a couple links to the Deckmate seat and low profile plastic swivel base (won't rust and makes the seat removable). These are what I use and the seat is the same on mine and Nick's Solo Skiffs, not heavy or too thick, water proof and comfortable with good support. You can choose different color for the seat if you want. Here is also a link to the utube video I made about my designed loading system and you can better see what the seat looks like on the Solo Skiff.

Thank you kind sir! I ordered both of them. $67 shipped for both seat and base is not bad at all.

Little snotty swell action
Little full speed action out at the PL Kelp!
On plain this skiff just taps and glides across these swells, actually launched off one shortly before video, outboard came out of water for a brief second, totally air borne. https://youtube.com/shorts/VwlUvwGOBkk |

Going full speed or close to it on the SOLO SKIFF is an absolute blast that makes me grin from ear to ear. Love those moments of getting a little air, so much fun.
