30:52 deep color! Maybe needed to tighten your drag to kill the fish faster towards the end there. Great effort mikey lots of fish in that zone currently. Fish hard!
Did the same loop an hour behind you and pulled a hook on one. Threw into atleast 10 formers. What was nuts was I saw like 30 hugeee paddy’s with no fish
Dude what!!! I drive down from oceanside to LJ and sleep on it. Gotta try it more but don't know if my legs can get that far out there lol .Awesome! Gonna be awesome trip up north. Santa cruz was never great for me fishing but would love to see it.
Best video you've put together yet. Super entertaining, total late Summer Early Fall SoCal feel on the water. Thanks for making these so we can live vicariously through your vids when we cant be on the water. Cheers.
all my foamer fish have been on the deadsticked popper just cast into them or past them and when your lure's in the middle of them let it sit there, no reeling, no popping, just floating
Yeah I followed you because I too have a solo skiff in Georgia but I fish more in Florida than anywhere else but I will be in Southern California October. I hope to get some fishing in if I get a chance to
Heartbreak Hotel !!! Great fight tho Mikey. It’s about all about the hunt and the chase that keeps us coming back after the fish. I was really hoping you get bit on the way in… crazy jumpers. Solid video Mikey!!! Thank you!
You are a BEAST!!! Congratulations. It was an epic day, I'm glad you sealed the deal. Thanks for the info on the jerk air 150s. I got the Shimano Jerkbait 150 I will give it a shot next time. Thanks for watching!
@@SDFishandSips I have a spot for launching with no parking fees if you’re interested??? Also I used the mackerel colored 150 from Yo-Zuri bought from Walmart 😂😂😂🍻
Wow, it sucks to loose it, but at least you didn't loose the lure. Even though you didn't land it Mikey, you got it to color on the video, multiple times. If it pulled the hook, you know you had as much drag as it could take to enjoy the power of that angry Tuna for over an hour and half. I would say that was an epic fishing day. I was going to go yesterday but ended up changing to tomorrow. Kept debating what area to search, because the water has been so dirty and cold. Now I know, go further North then where I had been thinking of searching. Thanks for sharing Mikey, the content and the positive vibes, help make better choices. Tighht Lines, Mikey!
This is before watching the vid, missed you by a day last year. Hit HM landing. You crazy man for that Solo trip like no other. So jell. Couldn't get back to Diego this year. Looking to do 3.5 charter a TG80 trip maybe. Have a fish party somewhere. Have some friends on BD, we can fill a boat fast. Your welcome to come. I was watching you when you first started. 3k followers.o, ouch. Some suggestions Brother more pressure when on the surface wind back, you'll getum. Thumb pressure to get that little when gaining. Its not alot but you have too. Ali preaches it. You have to break their spirit. So much different than a YFT and a Big eye. Like when you steer wrangle. Not too much power you break shit just at the right time dont let those fish rest at all or they bend and break gear. took me 30 years but.I dont have 11k followers or a show. Keep it up Mikey, I live vicariously through your videos out here in PA. You ever want to do a Deer hunt or walleye fishing or steelhead up Lake Erie on some creeks , hit me up I live on Pymatuning lake.
If I had any criticism at all, it was only that you must’ve edited out the actual heartbreak swearing episode that I wouldve had, at least. Probably more like a melt -down. What an epic battle and watching this, you were like “oh well” and I would’ve likely thrown something overboard. :) You are way cooler than me Mikie. WAY cooler. I’d love to be doing what you are doing, just once.
Love your vídeos the commitment and hours you put into going the hard yards bro. I started watching your videos cause I’m about to purchase a skiff kayak myself. Here in Brazil they are a pretty new thing yet, therefore not much information on reliability and important aspects to consider when going solo, which is what I’m planning to do as well. Your content is very valuable and educational to me as I like getting out there on my own like yourself. Have you ever got caught few miles out and the weather changed badly on you? If so how the kayak handle? Thanks in advance bro! Much love from Brazil ❤
Smaller fish you will usually get but, when your {jig} hooks are too small you will dump the good ones 80% of the time. Might wanna upgrade to a 9/0 assist hook set.
I think I saw you out there this day! Good video! Unfortunate events with the one you lost. Was crazy to see the amount of life and boats running and gunning
Bro you are wild for going out there with that small vessel I would dare myself !! What’s the weather conditions you recommend ?? I have a small boat 15 feet with a 10 horse power motor !! You are an inspiration lol
Cool video! No redemption aye? 🙃. You were casting 40# line with the stick baits? I’ve never cast stick baits but I think I need to lear. Did I hear 160 gr. ?
Heckya Mikey 👍🏻👍🏻… just started watching this Finished watching this morning,,,,, sorry bout that loss on the hookup. Duuuude you mean I can use my Whopper Plopper that I love to use in lake Havasu can get me bit on BFT? 😳😳 I love it
Dude, you get a lot more than 25 MPG on a one banger. Your Outboard is what, 125cc/150cc at most, so you're looking at 48/50 MPG+ easy. I got a Tohatsu 9.8 HP/ 209 cc two banger 4 Strk, and I am getting 42 MPG on a 15 footer SIB!
Yeah buddy!!!! Atta boy Mikey livin the dream brother!!! Wish you would’ve landed that beast,but you know as well as me that things need to be just perfect to get these fish in. Your killing it brother. I see you landing a couple more this year. You’re getting dialed in. Great job on fantastic content bro!!! Keep pursuing your dreams!!!✌🏻🤙🏻 }
Gutted for you but Great attitude my man! I went soloskiff site to see what the pricing is, but couldn’t find anything. Whats a ball park for one outfitted like yours?
Email me californiaskiffs@gmail.com and I will get you info and a solo skiff up there. The Solo Skiff is my dream fishing vessel. It has opened up a world of opportunities for me and I know it can do the same for you and others
Hey I’m a freedom boat club member and lookin for some buddies to fish with. Been watching your videos for some time and would love to go fishing with you sometime. My main location is out of Oceanside harbor but don’t mind fishing out of sd too. Let me know if your interested

On the Solo !!
Solid work. Thanks for your info. By chance how fast were you trolling?
Dude we killed it here in Oceanside!
Great video man! What happened to that stand up rail on the front of the skiff you used to have?
If I had any criticism at all, it was only that you must’ve edited out the actual heartbreak swearing episode that I wouldve had, at least. Probably more like a melt -down. What an epic battle and watching this, you were like “oh well” and I would’ve likely thrown something overboard. :)

Awesome video dude ! Love your positivity and optimism. Good stuff brother can’t wait for you to get a giant bluefin on the skiff!
Great video. I’m gonna give the area a try.

Sick footage man! Bummer on pulling hook on the big one :(
Thanks for watching! I'll get em next time. Keeps me motivated and getting better.
Nantucket sleigh ride, SoCal style!
Tough luck bro,but it wasn't boring👍👏🎣😎
Smaller fish you will usually get but, when your {jig} hooks are too small you will dump the good ones 80% of the time. Might wanna upgrade to a 9/0 assist hook set.
Awesome !!! thanks for sharing.. im waiting for tuna to push up noth by catalina isl !
Cool video and it would of been nice to see how you would of landed that fish in such a small boat.
I think I saw you out there this day! Good video! Unfortunate events with the one you lost. Was crazy to see the amount of life and boats running and gunning
Nice Vid Mickey......but you need to change out some of those hooks on those lures.
bro your a savage!
What are the max conditions you take this out on? Only perfect days?
Cool video, do you have Guided trips?
Bro you are wild for going out there with that small vessel I would dare myself !! What’s the weather conditions you recommend ?? I have a small boat 15 feet with a 10 horse power motor !! You are an inspiration lol
Cool video! No redemption aye? 🙃.
You were casting 40# line with the stick baits?
I’ve never cast stick baits but I think I need to lear. Did I hear 160 gr. ?

How do you like the solo I’m thinking about buying one to fly fish out of

Dude, you get a lot more than 25 MPG on a one banger. Your Outboard is what, 125cc/150cc at most, so you're looking at 48/50 MPG+ easy. I got a Tohatsu 9.8 HP/ 209 cc two banger 4 Strk, and I am getting 42 MPG on a 15 footer SIB!
What reel were u using?
Yeah buddy!!!!
Atta boy Mikey livin the dream brother!!! Wish you would’ve landed that beast,but you know as well as me that things need to be just perfect to get these fish in. Your killing it brother.
