oh man I love that you released this as an hr long vid instead of breaking it up
I like your attitude Adam, nothing gets you down and take what mother nature gives you. No motor, no fish finder but fish in the cooler. Awesome video Adam enjoyed your positive attitude. Aloha from Kansas
Thanks 👍 Gotta make the best with what you got!
@@DieHardFishing what port did you shove off on, on opening day for California lobster? Thanks🌊🎣
Yes, it is the carapace and the flipper things on the bottom of both the male & female are called swimmerets.
Thanks for sharing the info!
Hafa Adai Adam. I just wanted to let you know that I just finished watching this hour long video and absolutely enjoyed every minute of it! 😊👍👍 I give you two thumbs up for this! Thank you kind sir and I’m hoping to be watching more. I’m also subscribing to your channel and I’m going to hit the bell. I’m also going to introduce your channel to my grandkids because your channel is very informative. Please if you don’t mind let us know how you set up your rigs for which ever type of fish you are going after. Thank you and stay safe out there where ever you are at doing the fun things you do. Oh and try to get your wife in more videos also. Mahalo! 🤙🏽
Appreciate the support!!!!
In the 70s we fished for Bonito in Quivira Basin in San Diego with 8 lb spinning gear using a 3 hook silver Rapala. What a blast
We enjoyed the longer video !
Hopefully you rectified the motor issue and got the spare parts for the future .
It’s nice to see the game warden doing his job by checking your license - we could use more enforcement of laws here in Florida .
We are always amazed how you seem to be so relaxed and confident alone in a kayak floating in the ocean :)
Take care !
Glad you enjoyed it! Motor is back up and running now!
What's wrong with the motor.
Good job catching those lobsters, Adam.
I’m glad to see that you didn’t give up when your motor did. I did like the longer vid and the lobster fishing was cool to. I’d like to see that again. Thanks man.
They’re all busy but now they’re gonna want your lobster cause they don’t have any 😅. Thanks for sharing your adventures Adam and for keeping it real!
Those little bonito, if you bleed them then ice them, the sashimi is the cleanest tasting you can have.
Good work Adam… btw GO PADRES!!!
For clarity on the California Spiny Lobster regs, yes, the daily limit is 7, but the possession limit is also 7. So if you're going to go out for lobster again, make sure that you only keep enough to bring you back to 7 in possession. If you eat 2 and keep the rest in the freezer or fridge, you can legally only get 5 on your next trip. If you give 3 away, you can get 4 on your next trip. A California Warden's jurisdiction for lobster does not stay in the ocean. They can follow you to your place of stay to make sure that you are within regulations and legal possession limit.
That's a Swimming Crab!
Great video, appreciate your mello go with the flow attitude. I have been on several 3 day lobster dives and not brought home half as many as you ended up with. Keep up the great channel, 👍
Love seeing you use my favorite Kayak. Hopefully our water issues calar after Ian and I can get out soon. Waters closed here due to bacteria from all the dead creatures . Tangled in the 120 auto Pilot motor is a pain to get undone in the water. Glad you were able to get it.
You drove all the way down with the kayak on your roof? Respect
Yep! #corollalife
Dielectric Grease on all of your electrical connections will go a long way for longevity and reliability.
Fish on, brother!
I say for sure come back and do it !!! I liked the longer video aswell ! Thanks Adam
Respect Adam! Nice job on the lobster!
Thanks bro!
This video is actually longer if no editing. With editing, still long but never complain how it is if you are hanging out with Adam.
Great trip bro. Luved it. Like a mixture of both long and short vids. Thanks man!
I just move to the bay.. what a good spot to go surf fishing
Glad to have you visit our end of the state! My last two trips out of Dana Point Harbor, I took home some Bonito as well. I think those things fight pretty well - fun to catch, and dinner both nights for my wife and me. You are right - the fillets of one are about the right size for a meal. I also made some smoked bonito dip out of some of the others. I understand you can keep 5 that are "undersized".
Very cool!
Thank you Adam! Great video! Boil some water and break out the melted butter. Yum!
Bro congrats on your fishing adventure tanks for posting your videos I’ll like them all have a great evening or night
I’m new to kayak fishing and this is the stuff I want to do. It looks so fun!
It never gets old watching you fish. Thanks
Glad you enjoy it!
Just a heads up. I can’t tell for sure how you are measuring but it looks like you are putting the gage between the eyes on that soft membrane. You have to put the edge of the lobster gage on the hard ridge that connects the two horns. The ridge is behind the soft membrane for the eyes. So basically put the gage between the eyes and pull the gage back toward the tail to catch onto that ridge. The fine for 1 underside lobster is $1100 and they will not give you any mercy
Nice trip , Thanks for sharing
Great video. I live vicariously through you and the other Bay Area fishermen.
Thanks for watching! Happy to help you catch some fish vicariously haha
Love lobster fishing in the LB harbor. Good job Adam. ✌🏻😎🦞
Excellent video!!
Nice variation! 👏👏👍👍
I love the longer shows
Awesome job bro!!! Lobster dinner
Good video. Lobster fishing is very interesting.
Bonito is delish! Congrats on the lobster... good eatin' 😉
Thank you 😋
Enjoyed the vid. Recommend getting yourself some trolling lures so you can still catch fish if the bait is hard to come by! My biggest yellowtail came on a trolled rapala.
Enjoyed your Factor ad.
Man being out there in a kayak at night with a bunch of boats… i know you got bigger lights and stuff with the cameras. But still. Balls of steel
Another nice video man 🎉
Thanks for videos
Awesome job man
Nice trip!
this is MrBear in fl. there seems to be a big problem with the pug in pins for the motor, i have seen were peaple hard wire back to the battery and by pass the plug in.
we no your a scam
Way to make the best of tough situation.
I was out there last Saturday. Got skunked. If I had known you could have crashed at my pad in Vista( near Oceanside). I have extra rooms.
That little unknown crab you caught is shaped just like our east coast blue crab but the colors are way different. Really cool stuff man, enjoy the vids, appreciate it, Cheers
Thanks for watching
48:29 - now that's what I call a California burrito 🌯😂
lolol
Man i tell ya what, i did the sleepin sitting up thing a few times fishin down at the coast in my legacy. I just got an outback and i got a blow up mattress that fits perfectly in the back. Sucks moving all my stuff to the front seats but it is nice stretching out in the back.
good job
Great video. Make me miss my hometown of San Diego. Keep them coming.
Thanks! Will do!
Is this legit?
Like the long video format!
Watch out when lobster fishing and crossing over to the next day. Make sure to fill out lobster card appropriately in case DFG awaits at the docks.
would be super cool to see you dive for them..
Hey I am only like 20 mins in the vid lol so idk if u have done this in the vid but u have to try fishing the break water wall in the big bay in san diego because I saw u go out of mission bay but the other bay has a lot of lobster
Awesome Adam. Good job in the lobster. You’ve done better than me and you had to drive 8 hrs to get down to my neck of the woods. LOL
Next time!
Very cool… long day! But paid off.
Nice video, like always! If your trolling motor plug broke, I just upgraded mines to the Minn Kota MKR26. Much more reliable.
Thanks for the suggestion! I already got mine replaced but I will check that plug out next time!
That crab looked like a "velvet swimming crab" that they have in the UK near cornwall. "The Fish Locker" gets them in his lobster pots all the time....i keep telling him to come to the bay area and collab with all you bay fishermen that i watch. :)
Thanks for the info!
Enjoying your videos. That little crab is a Xantus Swimming Crab. Pretty cool little critter. Wish we had lobsters up here on the Oregon coast. My son spent 14 years in the Caribbean on St John. We would get spiny lobsters there when we visited. Lobster Ceviche and lobster tacos, and conch fritters with gin&tonics in the evening on the beach, yummm!
Now I'm hungry! haha. Thanks for the help with he crab ID
@@DieHardFishing yeah, makes me wish to be back in the Islands too. I’m 75 now but your trips make me want to go kayak fishing on our coast. Might just give it a try this year before I get too old😝.
How do you keep your kayak safe over night when you're on the road, as in this trip to San Diego?
Glad you decided to fish down here in Socal! Good to see you were able to put a dent in the lobster population 😁. Perhaps you might consider fishing from a boat. Check the local fish reports. The Dorado, Yellowtail, Yellowfin and Bluefin fishing has been excellent.
Maybe next time!
Those are the fish I know well. Too bad the Kelp bass was short, those are good eaters. My first job was as a deckhand on the half day boat out of Newport Beach....long time ago. You need to catch a Yellowtail and a Blue or Yellowfin. Go further south!
I agree, bonito are very good eaters. I prefer them over barracuda.
It would be great to see more of the launch and handling the old town on the corolla :) I want to buy one and exploring the options
Noted! Thanks for the suggestion!
Same here. Just got my wife a Corolla two months ago and I’m thinking about setting it up to carry my kayak. I’d also like to see how you secure it overnight while you’re sleeping.
You properly prep your fish and keep the meat fresh by bleeding it right away. That’s a big reason why your catches taste good. Bonito is underrated.
Heard they are good lobster bait too. Some ppl swears by them. I don’t know what the legality of using it as lobster bait though.
would love to film something with you señor! From the bordelands of baja, salud!
Thats a big comolement plus your smooth some of the other anglers leave me too tense afterward you have a bright future you love what your doing and nick fish is great but your just in a class of your own i really enjoy all your videos thank you bigA your work makes me feel like i raised you watching you sculpt yourself apnd as you matured yourbgear got better and your a celeb keep em coming
Yeww 🤙🏻
I saw a gaint one in halfmoon bay pair but I think that is rare encounter
Quick tip bro look at the camera 📷 not at yourself, do the research on it !!thank you for the advise on who to contact for private kayak lessons !!!
U got balls bro doing some of this shit alone. Good luck with your lobsters brother
If motor wires are warm or hit you know it’s a grounding wire … it can catch fire
"Just for that, I'm gonna eat him."
Great limit when's dinner lol
After watching your vids for years now it’s apparent that you’re a really chill and optimistic dude.
grats on the 7 bro. I was at the first popular spot you were at. You may remember yelling "HEY DIEHARD! How'd you do!" It was around 11pm when you said you got your 7. I got out there a bit late but got only 4. It was a bit crowded way back in that area where you were at. You were pretty ballsy to run your kayak so close to the jetty where the waves were breaking. Plus I saw you had your nets stacked up real high.
Nice to "see" you out there! Congrats on you 4, thats good eating too!
@@DieHardFishing Thanks bro. If your Northern Cali crew doesn't come with you next time, hit me up I'll head out with you. My house is only 17 miles from the launch area of the lobster spot. By the way, can you provide the link to the light or lights you were using for your gopro? The lighting worked out pretty well and your video was pretty clear. Thanks.
That front plug is ongoing issue with many owners. I would have thought that Old Town would have come up with a better solution by now.
Good job my friend.kontennya luar biasa mantap ✌️
Hey Adam , What Part of Cali are you Lobstering?
Two quick questions:
How well does the Autopilot paddle?
Can you do a video on fixing the motor and what spare parts you recommend having on hand for the Autopilot?
Thanks. The longer video was a joy to watch.
Paddling: 3/10 lol. Its not meant to be paddled but you can do it if needed.
I'll keep the tutorial type vid in mind next time I do some repairs!
Besides the camera and headlight, do u have any lights installed on your kayak? I've been wanting to go since opening night but only have my front green/red lights, needing to install the rear and side lights. So I feel a bit more confident I won't be used as a ramp by a boat 😂
Have u tried fishing while u wait? I only have two pots so I'm thinking about fishing a bit while I wait to kill time and maybe have some extra fun.
Awesome haul!
I see that you cannot catch fish without ur motor and without your fishfinder 😅😂
Those divers could be checking your traps before you are.
Your videos are becoming an advertisement against Old Towne :) Seems to me the pedal kayak is lighter, more dependable and much less likely to break down. Still enjoying your videos, thank you for sharing so much with us!
Thats down the street from me 😜😜
Awesome vid! Which Torium and rod is that?
When you vacuum seal the tails how do you prevent the spines from poking holes in the seal?
Great video! What bait are you using for these lobsters?
Remember to get the meat out of the antennas lot more meat than you think in those
What stops the divers from stealing the lobsters from your traps? Not saying divers as a rule are thieves, but knowing the nature of people it makes you wonder
$50 says those divers were yoinking your bugs.
Just a heads up but I believe the regs say you can have a maximum of 7 lobster in possession, not 7 per day. Great vid sir .. hope to make it out soon.
that is correct 7 in possession, I believe you can get a multi-day permit, or at least you use to.
the daily limit and possession are the same at 7. so until you eat some or give some away if you have 7 you cannot take anymore. there is no such thing as multi- day its 7 and done.
@@ericr1382 That's partially wrong; if you are on a boat for 3 days you can have up to 21. If you go out fishing from shore on 3 days and get 3 days worth of 7, that is not allowed.
@@KillerJupe i suggest reading and reading the regulations, even call a field office the fines and penalties are huge with fish and game.
@@ericr1382 i can 100% guarentee you i'm right. I go out every year on multiday lobster trips. Fish and game comes on pretty regularly. you are a-ok to have up to 21 w/ a multiday trip and permit
would like to no were your 360 stern light is and your port and starbord running lights are, thay are a law in the state of florida when haveing a motor and at night.
this is MrBear from florida. hay thanks for letting me no that was a scam,your the second one that tried to get use thats why i check first. still was wondering do you have bow por and starbord running lights and a 360 on your motror kayak? here in florida its law to have all nav lights from dusk till dawn,camra lights dont count.
👍🏼🎣
ah sa E, ah sa E, ah sa E.
Nothing wrong with Bonito....its too bad you didn't have a crocodile lure, always did good on stacking up several at that size in no time on that lure.
What make is your vacuum sealer?
I know some great Lobster spots (ones that you can use your kayak). Let me know. I have dived these waters for many years. 🌘
Deal!
