First I would like to thank you for your quick reply, and for taking the time to adress my post. I have grown up around the water and currently working as an ocean lifeguard. I am extremely confident in the water, however I doubt my ability to dive 60 feet and work a white seabass free from the kelp.
I am currently wielding a Metal Tech #5 and am satisfied with the gun, but am still waiting to take a fish with it. I purchased the gun at the end of last season and am confident in the rigging. For now I am using a simple float line until I have the funds to purchase a reel. I have the standard shooting line and the polyprop rope attached to the break away. For the float I used a waterproof industrial adhesive to join 3 lobster trap buoys. What is your honest opinion of this rigging.......please be blunt.
A couple of my good friends whom are avid kayak fishermen have been very successful in the recent weeks on the water in La Jolla. One of my buddies took a nice yellow at the 120 foot mark Yo Yo style, and another friend of mine landed a 37 pound white seabass on a live greenback. They told me they saw a few white seabass cruising just bellow the surface. That got my blood pumping! My buddy's yellow is on Kayak4fish.com if you are interested. The post is titled, "Vince here's your LJ yellowtail." I am constantly referring to Kayak4fish.com to monitor the activity in La Jolla. If you're ever up for a dive, my dive buddy and I live just down the way in Encinitas (a section of North County, San Diego.)
Im going to go poke around La Jolla sometime this week. Thanks again.
