Terrific day. Enjoyed watching.
Yeah I grew up climbing down the cliff at strands and the kelp was in front of salt creek. I didn’t even know there was kelp where you’re at but maybe it somehow migrated there. I love Sheephead it my fav fish to eat
After watching this video, I'm going skrait down the skreet to get some of dem skrimps!
Nicely done !
Thanks for the awesome video
Awesome love sheeps
love the narration on your video.
Awesome video! Keep em coming! I hope to go tomorrow. Tight lines🎣
Thx for watching! I like your videos too so I’ve subscribe to your channel 😉
Nice stringer! Wished I had joined you.
Dinner is served!🎣😃
Was just out there today not far from where you were. Unfortunately didn’t have any luck though 😅
We’re you in a boat or kayak? I’ll say hi next time 😉
Can I ask you which kayak would be the best for the price. We have never had a kayak. Should we buy tandem or two singles?
I'm a big Hobie fan so I like the Outback, but the Old Town Predator is a great option if you do a lot of ocean fishing. Tandem kayaks are nice but they are super heavy. I'd prefer two singles, that way you'll always have the option to fish separately (if your buddy is unavailable to fish with you on the tandem yak)
@@OCOutdoorsman Thanks for your reply. Have you ever encountered sharks or any other dangerous species in Redondo Beach Area? I watched some videos and I thought I should ask you before I get a kayak.
@@QuickCookie I've only fished Redondo once and didn't encounter any sharks ;-)
Nicely done! What size circle hooks did you use? Do you use the same size for all rock fish?
They say to use a number 2 or 4 size Hook.. NOT 2/0 or 4/0 .
California Sheephead are a very beneficial species, because they eat sea urchins. Urchins feed on kelp and can decimate an entire kelp forest. The sheephead help to keep urchins in balance.
Did you let the c rig hit the bottom and wait for them to pick it up or did you leave it suspended
I let it drop to the bottom but gave it a couple of cranks up so that it's suspended. This is important with a C-rig so that you can detect the subtle nibbles of the sheephead. If it sits on the bottom, they'll steal your bait without you knowing!
C rig worked great? Did you lan em more on shrimp or sardine?
I caught everything on shrimp!
Any info on the kind of shrimp you used for bait? I'm going to be targeting Sheephead this weekend for the first time ever on my aluminum boat out of Cabrillo beach.
Go to any local Mexican or Korean grocery store; they have the best pricing for shrimp. Just about any shrimp will work as long as it's uncooked
Awesome video , which beach is that again to launch your kayak?
This was a few miles out from Doheney Beach
@@OCOutdoorsman thanks 🙏 I’m not familiar with the area and would like to try out ocean kayak -- tight lines 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
@@gerardperlas270 Oh, if you want to fish Dana Point just launch from Baby Beach. It's free ;-)
How far from the harbor opening once you head north?
A bit over a mile out (maybe 1.25 miles)
Did you fish for them on the bottom or a couple of cranks up? I gotta try that set up for them. They eat shrimp?
Yes, I do crank it up a few times to avoid snagging my hook on the bottom. They love shrimp!
@@OCOutdoorsman Ery cool. When the season opens I’ll bring a bag of shrimp with me 👍
@@user-jc4yv7eg7c Stock up on that shrimp; sheephead season opens up today!
Is the Carolina rig basically the same effect as the fishfinder rig?
Very similar except for the sinker; I believe that the fishfinder rig uses a sliding sleeve with a pyramid sinker
Do you ever come across sea lions trying to steal your catch on the stringer?
Not yet; I've been lucky so far!
net laundry bags work great!
What bait did you use
Shrimp
Where are locate you fishing.?
Dana Point
Out of Newport?
This was out of Dana Point
