Anyone fish near the Victoria Breakwater lately? I'm thinking about dropping the crab traps and then heading around the breakwater to fish tomorrow.
I'm waiting for another month and 5 days... than it is Ling season

I was out at Jordan River today looking for halibut, with my usual luck!![]()
Yeah, that was me. It was good to get out but not my day to get one.I think I was chatting with you up there on Friday, T2. Were you all geared up with a crab trap as well as your two halibut setups and a buoy with a shark hook in case you tied into one?
I moved a bit further down to cast from shore to see if there were any redtailed surf perch around, but I didn't have any luck with that, either.
Regards.
Here's a picture of mine, Steve, from when I was rigging it up a few years ago. My setup is not typical because of the outriggers and the wooden platform that I built to go on the outrigger arms. Most guys with a monohull yak mount a small Scotty lake troll or the next manual rigger up in their lineup, either to a milk crate behind their seat, or to the hull itself. I'm using an old Scotty model "Saltaire" circa the 1970's that I inherited from my dad. It's about right for the 5 or 7 lb balls that I use. I personally think the lake troll Scotty rigger is too small for the salt but it's a matter of opinion.Hey guys,
Anyone that has a downrigger on their kayak able to post a picture of the set up? I'm interested in how it would work! What type of rigger are you using? How does it affect your balance?
Cheers,
Steve

Hello Xavier
Do you have a full size battery in the kayak or is that a portable style sounder? Trying to figure out the best thing to rig my row boat with. I figure you kayakers probably have it sorted out. Any others out there who use a depth sounder on your rig care to comment on what your set up is for the ocean that would appreciated.
Thanks
Angus
