BUG-N Dana 11-18-10 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I would never keep a 12" bass but bugs are different.You are right Dana is tough,If I would have known that I would get 4 solids by the end of the night I might have thought otherwise but I have checked my guage and 3 1/4 is 3 1/4.I mean the point is those bugs had their shot at a mating season or two.The fines are supposed to be crazy so its probably not worth the arguement.All I know is I am now a believer in using LOTS of bait.

I am going to hoop Catalina later this year at some point and will let you guys know how it goes.Legal/short ratio is much better there,just hard to find shallow spots and will have to re-rig some hoops to go over 100' deep.

I hear you on the bait. I stuff the crap outta my cages. I use extra bungees so the dogs cant get em. I bring a bag of scraps with me to restuff all night long. stuff stuff stuff!

Good luck at catalina! I would love to give that a shot one time.

SCI is supposed to be great too.Stupid easy limits.SCI would need to be an overnighter rockfish/hooptrip combo.My brother is a sportie captain and has access to a Grady white 30'er with twin 250's.Its not cheap to get that rig to SCI and back so cat is much better on the wallet.
