illegal to fish TWO rods for salmon!!!

Jae Chang - 7 years ago

Mark Joey Mark Joey as kayakers we don’t have a motor so when we get tired after a long session of peddle/paddle trolling we have a baited (mooching) rig ready for drift fishing while we rest and regain stamina, hence the reason why there’s a baited Rig always on standby. It’s impossible to fish a mooch rig and trolling setup with a downrigger(behind me). I️ hope this helps with some clarification.

Mark Joey - 7 years ago

At 1:33 of the video you are clearly moving a rod with a baited anchovy...
Why would a second rod be BAITED if it was not being fished?!

Jae Chang - 7 years ago

Mark Joey thanks for the reminder, not at any point of the video was i fishing 2 rods for salmon.

VERY nice video and fish! Thanks for the video keep it up. I MISS MY KAYAK FISHING DAYS ON THE central coast of California off Big Sur. Those were great adventures. Some of my best days fishing ever for sure!

Is that a separate katamaran attachment you put onto your kayak?

J - 7 years ago

pretty dang awesome.. Is the splash covers the ones available on ebay?

Jae Chang - 7 years ago

Jiggy Boro it's actually an sailing kayak that I just used the single pontoon as a fishing platform. The kayak is called a Hobie Adventure Island

BlackWaterKayakAnglers - 7 years ago

MARIN GOJU KARATE DO - 7 years ago

I live in Marin and have been dying to take my Kayak out and give it a shot. Your video got my blood stirring, thanks for the motivation! Do you fish off this location from July through August?

Lester Ma - 7 years ago

Looks like moss landing

sOLoTip510 - 9 years ago

Marin is a big coastline north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Mike Bartoli - 9 years ago

that's a nice fishing rig and a good video but it looks like you don't bleed your fish though.... big mistake

Jae Chang - 9 years ago

Hi Mike,

Yes I do bleed the fish a bit after I land it.

reelman4299 - 9 years ago

Great job...way to be persistent. I see your fishing a FBR, those work real well. I pull a Brad's plug cut Superbait loaded with tuna behind my 9 foot pontoon raft. I have had good luck with them. Tight lines !

Year Round Fishing - 9 years ago

Thats awesome man! I been wanting to get on a yac out there but it trips me out haha.

moon kim - 9 years ago

Nice job. I thinkI hooked one today off Sonoma coast. Fought for about a half hour as it slowly towed me out to sea before it got off. Couldn't keep it anyway.

Jae Chang - 9 years ago

+moon kim Yeah pretty sure you had a nice one on. The heartbreak of salmon fishing, but when you land that one fish all your sorrows goes away. Good luck and Fish hard!

Moto-B - 9 years ago

That's a wild salmon. Just saying.

Edward Dergosits - 7 years ago

55hillerby only a small percentage of the hatchery fish are clipped and have a chip tag placed in their head. The Feather River Hatchery raises and releases about 8 million fish a year. It would be impossible to clip and place a chip in this many fish. The Feather River hatchery was built when the Oroville dam was built to compensate for the catastrophic elimination of wild spawning areas that existed in the Feather River above the Oroville dam location. It opened in 1967. The Coleman fish hatchery is even larger raising even greater numbers of fish.. It was built in 1942 after the Shasta dam was built for similar destruction of spawning habitat of the Sacramento river.. The fish that do get identified have their adipose fin clipped which is on the dorsal surface near the tail. It is not "the lower rear fin" and it does not have bones in it. Without the hatcheries we would likely not have a salmon fishery. Here are some links you might find interesting.

55hillerby - 7 years ago

You're mistaken. We caught both wild and hatchery fish on a party boat out of half moon bay... The deck hand was showing everyone how the lower rear fin was cut off on hatchery fish.. They have to track them somehow

prokhk - 9 years ago

+wood2hoz4 you can keep wild salmon in california, i don't think they even clip the hatchery fish but I could be mistaken

Jae Chang - 9 years ago

+wood2hoz4 LOL

World of Mouth - 9 years ago

Edgar Fisher - 9 years ago

Nice fish man. Can't wait to troll Chinooks on my AI!

Edgar Fisher - 9 years ago

Will do. Will do. Looking forward to more action from your point of view also. Fishing up here is a bit spotty right now. But some Jack Springs have been caught

Jae Chang - 9 years ago

+Edgar Fisher
Wow! Please post videos!!!! I need to see this 6 rod trolling set up! Hope you hit a huge school...

Edgar Fisher - 9 years ago

What a rig! I'm never gonna sit on a skiff again

Edgar Fisher - 9 years ago

It is.. Just got my tramps the other day. And hooked up ram mounts. Two more Scotty's and I'll be trolling four rods. Five or six come coho season

Jae Chang - 9 years ago

It's so much fun! AI's are amazing!

Great video Jae!

Elpry Ioanis - 9 years ago

wow
nice one I like that colour

Bryan Eckert - 9 years ago

Hello Jae,

Great vid and excellent set up. Can you tell me if you think the single or tandem AI is the way to go? I will primarily be fishing solo. What kind of down rigger, weight size, and mounting do you have. Thanks,

Bryan Eckert - 9 years ago

+Jae Chang Thanks for the reply Jae. Let me know if you don't get my contact info. Much appreciated.
Bryan

Jae Chang - 9 years ago

Bryan,
You answered your own question if you mostly fish Single get a Single, Tandems cost about 2K more and they are a bit heavy and longer for one person to load and unload off a vehicle. As for downrigger I use a scotty lake troller with a 4lb cannon ball weight. Send me your email address and I'll email you pics of the PVC piping I used to mount the downrigger. Hope that helps!

Russell Mullis - 9 years ago

What brand and model kayak is that?

Jae Chang - 9 years ago

Hobie is the manufacturer. Adventure island is the make of the kayak.

Charlie HustleHard - 9 years ago

Jae Chang - 10 years ago

The silver reel is a Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 7000i C3, One of the best reels I've used to date for kayak fishing.

DrPfeiffer - 10 years ago
