I think mint is almost always a killer color! I use Tady 45’s, Salas 7x, Kicker 25, JRI 7 or 4, preferably in some variation of mint! The fish seem to prefer something with a softer contrast than blue/white.
Going through all your old vids! Excited for this coming season!
🙌❤️
Yeah that was super cool how he came and snatched it
I used the Navionics app to find all of my spots when my fishfinder GPS died. Navionics on your phone is an amazing app.
“Real emotion” I felt that
One of your best videos yet Afran! Super informative and it was getting inside your brain to see how you fish without any tech. Nice work!
Thanks for the support!
Working back through the older Warbaits content . Loved seeing the YT catch @ the boat very cool💪🎣
Thanks! Great memories
I like the voice over, gives it a Deadliest Catch feel.
Thanks Gary!
Awesome stuff with no technology. That's experience at it's finest!🤙
Old school
That's some SICK footage when it hits.
🙌
@@WARBAITS Got lucky with the same strike just yesterday!!
Awesome hook up! I love fishing Yellowfin too
Hell yeah ! Great video. Some nice fish there as well. Never heard of Watbaits, but I dig what I see, so got's to get some for me and my son's to go play with. Cheer's

Thanks!!
Great video.
Dont think there's anything better than surface iron fishing for yt.
So sick Afran! Very educational and didn't mind the voice over one bit. Heck yeah dude!
Thank you
Love the water during a Santa Anna!
Flat calm
Can’t wait for the online shop to reopen this week! Need some new underspins and want to cop some apparel, sick designs!
Kickers has been putting out some great Jigs
I've had great results for sure
Nice fishing. Thanks for the tips.
Dude afran Those swims it heads are killer! I went out on Long Beach on my boat and I caught Tons of calico bass on one chartreuse head!!
Thank you for the support!
You guys should make a video about fishing for spotties inside bays during the winter. These fish definitely seem like they want something different when it’s cold like this.
Yes, we'll get into Spotties this winter
Just bought some of your warbait heads, 1/4 oz. going tomorrow on my buddy’s boat. Wish me luck.
Thank you so much! Good luck out there, it's biting!
WARBAITS FISHING thanks. Ended up catching some nice calicos at salt creek
Man bro you got the money shot when that fork hit ur iron!!! F yea!!!
That PA handles the wakes like a champ. Nice video!🤙🏼
Thanks! PA is a very nice platform
Afran, that. was. SICK! Standing up on the yak out in the ocean, brave lol. Good video brother.
You can do that when it’s glassy like that
Got some blood on the deck!
If we could see that YT hit on the GoPro i can only imagine what it looked like in person!!! Insane!
Insane!
If you ever encounter that dead fishfinder problem again, maybe look into Navionics. It’s basically a fishfinder on your phone where you can see a topographical map of the entire ocean and pin spots. You can also find structure on it as well. I believe it’s $10 a year for Navionics+ which includes those features.
Noted. I'll look into this. Thanks!
That was a SICK bite! Awesome footage
Thank you. Working on the boat for our next trip
Nice fishing .... I chase Longtail tuna in my Hobie Outback ( S.E. Qld , Australia) and it is so much more closer to the action ..it's a real buzz
That’s so sick man! I’d be pumped AF out there!
Super pumped!
Thanks for the video Bro..........always great from the kayak...
100%! Always great from the kayak
Radicool! Love when yuh get a yellow on the blind cast

Thank you for your video, and sharing your lures. I will be ordering some soon. My oldest son recently caught a bunch of Yellow Tail. Tomorrow I'll be out via the Newport Harbor. One heavy pole will be for sharks, with red meat and jigs. The lighter pole mostly various lures, and maybe live bait. I shared your video, and I'll be on your site later tomorrow.
I went to your site and attempted to buy lures / jigs seen on several of your videos. Most were "sold out', some were not on your site . i.e Graham and then when I did attempt to buy the few that were available, it only allowed to put one in my shopping carts, and could not add other, then that one disappeared.
Hi Bill, We had maintenance yesterday morning and the night before on the website. The "Add to Cart" issue has been fixed. Many of our products are sold out due to the COVID shut downs of our USA factory. But on the bright side, we have a lot of good baits on the site and more on the way. We are starting to open our factory at limited capability. Please give the website another try, it's back up and running. Thank you -AA
@@WARBAITS thanks
Dope. Really happy to see a new vid. Keep it up!
It's been a busy season for Warbaits. Lots of work for sure. Thanks!
thats awesome afran, nice work!
Thank you!
Really nice new fishing lady subscriber
Great video
How’s awesome!
Awesome!!!!
Nice One!
Its amazing that people go through the trouble of making these videos without showing what they are fishing with, how they tie it and or what their ideal setup is.
There is info at the end of the or here:
czcams.com/video/saTIu9HaaOQ/video.html
Sick yt catch. Came at it hard.
Charging!
Man calico bass is good eating I would be keeping those. Calicos are way better then rockfish
Both are tasty
Nice ! How far out u have to go out for yellowtail ! I need to try that just not on a kayak, dingy with a motor next purchase
This was about 2 miles out
How do you decide when to use your pinhead ulua vs your calstar 6480H?
I like fishing the 8fter on the kayak and 9fter on the boat. The 9fter is too long for me on the kayak. Too much rod out in front of the kayak
What up aff Mr war Baits 👀✌️
I would retired that clip since u used it a lot. I had one broke off me years back. After half a year of fishing with that one clip, it finally gave up.
100%. Time to retire that thing. Thanks!
WARBAITS FISHING np. I lost a fish because I didn’t replace it, wouldn’t want it to happen to someone else.
Hey Afran I've been fishing all my life in Socal and lately I've been wanting to get into kayak fishing but can't decide on what kayak to get. Which one do you fish and what do you like about it?
I say any Hobie with a peddle drive system. Even a used one. You want to be hands free while fishing. Let me know what you find
@@WARBAITS I was debating between the pro angler 14 and the compass. With the pro angler I get a lot more features and better stability which will help when throwing the iron, but with the compass I'm cutting off almost half the weight of the pro angler which is nice because I live in PV and would like to fish some of my local coves and most of them have steep trails to get down. Although the compass is still about 80 pounds which isn't ideal to be lugging up and down trails anyways so I'm leaning more towards the pro angler. Only thing holding me back really is the price difference.
@@bradenmatthews9436 if your going to fish offshore the Hobie Outback is hard to beat ...it is a little less affected by wind than the Pro Anglers and perfectly set up for fishing
New sub here breh 😎🔥
Thanks for the sub!
what knot do you use to tie your braid to your floro leader when hunting yellows?
RP KNOT or Uni to Uni
This video cures covid.
Thank you!
Hey Afran, nice video. Noticed you are using a clip on the iron. Which brand and size is that? and why not straight tie it?
Kicker Clip. It's up for debate.... possibly helps the jig swim more free. I use it for quick change of colors or if I am limited on rods. But 90% of the time, I straight tie
kickerfishing.com/accessories
Nice vid, but couldn't you stitch the audio from the other gopro with the footage on your main camera?
I did not run the 2nd camera the entire time. I only had the 2nd camera for certain video clips. I think I figured it out though
@@WARBAITS fair enough mate, maybe an idea for next time as back up!
I won't advise grabbing your jig that way. You'll never what part of that jig you're grabbing.
subscribed, great video! In fall/winter months, like now in October, what are the chances you would catch a YT on trolling a mackeral? Would trolling a mackeral still be a good way to target YT in LJ on a kayak?
I would troll a mackerel mid column or on the bottom with a dropper loop. I'd also fish the YOYO iron. But keep an eye out for surface fish. Never leave home without the surface iron rod. Good luck and keep me in the loop!
@@WARBAITS thank you!
What line and combo you using for the surface iron bite for yellows?
65lb braid to a short leader of 50lb Aftco Fluoro
Are small aluminum boats allowed there??
Yes. Pick your day and watch the weather
I love your videos! Thanks for the variety and review of your gear. I am wondering what length jig rod you use in the kayak. I generally only stand up in mine in bays or lakes, but would love to fish my United Composites 900 Monster, after I finish building it, for yellowtail and white sea bass. My Hobie Outfitter is wider and more stable than an Outback, but nothing like a PA. I’m just wondering how casting a long rod like that will work sitting down. If I have to cut 6 inches out of the but, I would consider that if necessary. I’d certainly like your advice, and your followers as well, on my concerns.
Awesome variety and quality products on your website! I’ve got to start loading up.
I would keep the rod 900 (9'). I can cast my 9er easily without standing up. Also, you may get on a boat and want that 9 foot length.
With that being said, I bought my 8' (Calstar 6480) for the kayak or traveling. But I've taken my 9'3" on the kayak. It's definitely doable. The one thing I noticed with a longer rod on the kayak, I had to move my reel back towards the butt, so that the rod did not stick out from under my armpit and hit my sit. Also, gaffing a fish was a bit more challenging because there was so much rod out in front of the kayak.
Keep me posted. Good luck!
WARBAITS FISHING Thank you very much. I will start wrapping the blank as soon as my garage cools down a bit and definitely move the reel back per your recommendations.
Hey Afrin. I've watched this video a bunch to digest all the info. One question I have is, what is it that makes north to south current particularly good for Calico fishing in La Jolla?
I’m not entirely sure, I guess it’s just experience over the years. When ever the current is going south down the beach or pointed directly into the beach, kelp fishing is really good.
If the current is going North it can be equally as good.
If the current is going “out to sea” typically the fishing is bad for calico bass.
You definitely want to find some current, it’s part of the puzzle. A little texture on the water, a bit off colored water and baits fish help also.
It's the way the kelp stringers sit
Do you a wide kicking jig? I've been trying a wide kicking jig and the yellows seem to hate it. I was on a boat and a guy fishing a Kicked 25 light caught 8 yellows and the fishcount was 23 yellows. And those kickers had a tight kick to them. The tady 45 had a super wide kick and the yellows didn't care but I caught 7 bonito hahah.
I'd really like if you answered I've been trying to get answers and alot of people say different things.
I'd say it has great action. It's not a super wide kick, but it's a very good kick. The Kicker Jigs are all made out of the same molds so they are all the same straight away. I have all the surface irons on the market, there really are not that many. I have a few really good swimming Tadys, A have a handful of really good Salas. Currently I'm fishing the Kickers, they seem to swim better.
One piece of advice I can give on surface iron, reel faster. In my experience, yellows want it moving quickly.
@@WARBAITS alright thanks alot dude. Everyone seems to think they know everything about fishing jigs but there get limits on wide open fishing. And when I saw someone catch a ton of fish with a kicker on a pick bite I knew he had something dialed. I just read the comment I posted above and I just realized how bad the Grammer was haha.
@@girabaldytasty6224 all I fish are kickers and I do alright. I've never had any luck with Tady or Salas (I've tried em all)
@@pan8a have you tried the salas baby 5x and the normal 5x. My friend who's good at fishing jigs only uses those. He gave me one and they never pop out of the water. Ive only gotten bit on jigs during wide open bites, which dosent say a whole lot.
@@girabaldytasty6224 no I haven't and to be honest I don't think I will. I don't like that there are too many inconsistencies
New sub...great info from why and were of the paticular fish your going after and rig set up...question after bleeding out the yellow how did you preserve it while still out on the water
I had a soft cooler bag with ice. I left pretty quickly after the catch
@@WARBAITS ok right on
good stuff man. Nice video. I've been fishing San Diego Bay and Mission Bay, still trying to figure out where to launch from at La Jolla. I have a PA 14 as well, 2018 model with a 180 drive. Any particular Beach that you Shore launch from? Thank you
I launch from the standard La Jolla Beach launch. Good luck out there! www.yelp.com/biz/la-jolla-shores-boat-launch-san-diego?osq=boat+launch
What pound test do you usually use for your leader when you are fishing surface irons?
50lb Fluorocarbon
@@WARBAITS thank you brotha! Just got my package in the mail from y'all! Bout to go slam sum spotties tonight 🎣🙌
What leader were you using ?
► AFTCO Saiko Pro Flourocarbon Leader → amzn.to/3AatvFo
@@WARBAITS awesome thank you . How long of a leader do you usually use on that
Nice calico hat, wher e can i get one.plz advice.
we have a fresh stock at Warbaits.com
You go out with other people? I'm looking for people to yak fish with in La Jolla. I'm from North Park.
Yes we do events with Fast Lane Kayaks. Hopefully some this summer
That reel is not the same as the one you put in the link..what reel is it you have that you caught the yellowtail on?
Shimano Tranx 500 / 65lb Braid, 40lb Leader, Kicker Clip, Kicker 25L. Thanks!
@@WARBAITS nice! Thank you.appreciate you replying.
Nice vid. Thanks. New pinhead or was that the 8 footer
The 8fter. The 9fter is better suited for the boat. I'm having boat work done, hopefully get back out there soon
@@WARBAITS Wow you bent that 6480 like a pinhead standing up on a yak! way cool. I would have got Yard Darted. thanks again.
@@yepyep340 haha! I need to get some rail time with the Pinhead
What rods are u using?
Calstar 6480 and Phenix USB800H
Great vid! What stick is under the tranx?
Calstar GG 6480 it's a great rod
That is awesome, I live in Utah but have geared up a bit to fish out of San Diego on a charter for yellow's and tuna. Only got two half day trips in this year and it was too early in the yr. Where do you put in the water with your kayak? I like what your doing there!
Awesome to hear. It was a good season for fishing. I launch here: www.yelp.com/biz/la-jolla-shores-boat-launch-san-diego?osq=boat+launch
Wish I could still catch my yellowtail. I lost one at Catalina... and it was my first one too
Gotta get back out there!
WARBAITS FISHING AND HOOK THAT GIANT!!!!
Where'd you launch from
La Jolla Shores
Thank you
Any way I could get some info for a amateur to looking for yellows on a kayak. I work on the condor out of fisherman's landing.
Was that your first yellow from a yak ?
This is my first yellow on this kayak. I started kayak fishing for yellowtail in 2003. So I've had lots of time in La Jolla on the kayak. It's a lot of work but totally gratifying when it happens.
WARBAITS FISHING yeah it truly makes your whole day when you land a good fish from a kayak. Fish on good luck out there
Komodo 450 or tranx 500 for this type of fishing ?
The Tranx 500 is a superior reel. But other reels work as well. Speed and line capacity are important for surface iron fishing.
WARBAITS FISHING what gear ratio Tranx you fishin?
@@fishandhooktv3795 TRANX 500 HG 65lb Pro Spec braid / 50lb Aftco Fluro
why not use 80lb braid? does 65lb cast better? tia
@@johnsmith-xd9ej I like 80lb braid for the surface iron. This reel had 80 last season. I do think 65lb cast further because of the smaller diameter. Most likely I'll move back to 80lb braid next time I respool.
1st, finally..
Dang dude that’s balls no? Cutting tuna in a kayak? You trip on sharks or anything? I mean that’s just the old man in me thinking.
Yeah!! Nice catch my friend 🎣👍🏼 Thumbs up👍🏼 if you like check out my stuff👀🎣 Greetings from Germany🇩🇪
Very cool thank you. We subbed!
Absolutely loved this episode bro. I shoot a fishing show up in LA and have been dying to get down there and get on some of that action! I’d love to fish with you sometime for an episode of my show. Check it out on my channel, it’s called Whatever Bites and this last episode will rock your 🧦 🧦 off.
Thanks for the support. I'll sub the channel. Thanks again
Thanks man!
