Tag and Release White Sea Bass w/ Pier Foundation

We had an awesome week on the water that consisted of some good White Sea Bass fishing. We were able to do something that I am not sure how many people have done. This was to catch a WSB on a kayak and have the guys from the Pier foundation tag this fish for their research and release it so we have a better understanding of what these fish are doing when were not catching them.

Hobie Stand UP Paddle Board fishing for Sharks

I was recently asked if I had ever fished from a stand up paddle board. Of course I have but I had never caught anything with significant size so I decided it was time to put this theory to the test. On march 5th we fished for thresher sharks off of La Jolla shores. He was the outcome...

Hobie Mirage Inflatable i9s

A kayak with the ability to pedal yet stores in a bag. The Hobie Mirage i9s inflatable kayak is an amazing kayak giving you the ability to store your kayak in places that you wouldn't usually. This product was designed with the thought of the boat and RV crews. This kayak can store in the hatches of your boat or RV allowing you the fun of a Hobie pedal kayak with out the cumbersome size of a hard shell kayak. The rigidity and quality of the material used on this product is amazing. I was extremely impressed with this inflatable kayak. It blows all other inflatables out of the water.



and you can fish on it.
