>>900810yeah coast guard is known for losing shit, most people really dont know how to fish it. there is some big cabs in those rocks if you know how to get them.
in the summertime when i take a break from trolling /b/ I like to snorkel and spear there. I make a couple trips to collect gear from the rocks. In late august I hauled 86lbs of lead, a full plano tacklebox, dozen pairs of sun glasses, a bmx bike, 3 phones and a freezer ziplock of random lures, mainly kroc spoons. all in a day, from right out in front of there.
As far as losing gear and getting rocked..
my friend gives me 5 gallon buckets of end cuts of wire from his job sites. I cut them down and use them to attach my weight to the line.
The idea is that the wire will bend out if the weight gets stuck in a rock or if a fish drags you under a rock. Its the best rig Ive used for snaggy areas so i dont lose all of my shit.
also braid. it will cut through a lot that. set your dropper loop low and bounce bait in the pockets. its active fishing because you have to keep the weight in contact, when you get bit you use the braid to horse the fish out of the kelp. similar to punching a mat when fishing for bass. you sit down or play on your phone with your rod on the rail youll get tangled if the surge is pushing. go first light its glassy and the fish are in the shallows
what rocks are you thinking of fishing?
