Having fished offshore in Central California for a few years now, this is by far the best explanation with graphics on how to interpret the data you are seeing for surface conditions. Well done.

Nice shot of Cape Kiwanda. As we have great whites periodically off the coast, would it not be better to have a fish bag? Oh - and Pelican Brewery right at the takeout has great beer when you come back in.

Excellent video. All such videos demonstrate self rescue without a crate full of gear, fish finder, rods etc. Obviously you don't want to dump all that in a demonstration, but if many of those things are tethered or attached when you capsize, it seems like it would complicate things.

I'll have to watch that another 3 or 4 times so it sinks in, but good info! I'm just getting acquainted with a 12' SIB, so hopefully, it'll be a little more forgiving than a kayak. My question has to do with safety, sort of. Did that not make you nervous hanging your fish over the side of your kayak? I'd be constantly fearful of something really big with a lot of teeth coming along to grab them, chain and all, and dragging me out to the Aleutians. Obviously, I'm a newbie to the PNW and salt water adventures, so my experience is limited to watching Jaws, probably one too many times. And THANKS for all the great info. I did at least draw some short strikes from some Kokanee a couple days ago, so I'm on my way.

Filming offshore has always been a real pain. The salt is hard on equipment and the lenses always get frosted from spray. I love fishing out there but filming is a whole other beast.

@@spiltmilt I hope you'll eventually acquire a setup to do so. I'm new to saltwater kayak fishing with a new Revo and downrigger setup. Your kokanee tutorials adapted for ocean salmon would be absolutely dynamite...
@awwwshucks4434 жыл бұрын
@@slacktide_angler I wouldn't recommend using a downrigger in the salt. It's very easy to have stuff go wrong out there. Snagging bottom in a constant swell even if it's a nice day is just a recipe for disaster. Using dropper weights and divers is very effective for salmon and a lot less hassle. A line counter reel really makes a big help, but even counting color on color distanced line works great. Overall KISS rule is the most important thing with kayak fishing.

@@awwwshucks443 just saw this. Youre right, I can see how bad things can go. I do have a setup on my kayak right now, and don't go anywhere near bottom. I also run a lower lb rating braid, with a short piece of lower test line at the ball. I also have a knife ready to cut the line if it gets bad.

Thank you! Can you create another video on this and tell us more on primary vs secondary swells and how to read them? Also how to calculate breaking beach swell for those who launch from beach. Also, when its the best time to launch, during high tide or low tide? And when its better to return? Thank you

Great video, wind is probably the single most determining factor I use for saltfishing. Not sure in open water if the coefficient plays a big role but for structure fishing we also avoid fishing when it's in the upper 70s or higher.

@@micahgelfand8282 sorry I was referring to tidal coefficient, but it really depends on the location. Some inlet are very dangerous with the strong tide at certain monthly cycles.

What is the frequency of "Channel 16"? (*EDIT - 156.8*)Also, for anyone who is going to freak out about having some kind of licence, you will be happy dealing with the FCC if they choose to bother you if you used a radio without a licence to save your life. Find one case where it's happened? This country can't supply baby formula, much less bother with someone who used a radio to save their ass, illegally.
