Q Switch Thank you. I'm going to be posting some of my tricks and tips of how I fish HH please check it out. It will be up this coming week. If there is anything your interested that i can help with let me know.
Yeah there are some super crazy people living in them for the most part but every once in awhile there is a really cool person.. we had an old lady start talking to us and invite us in to her house to meet her husband who loves fishing but is now disabled so he cant do it anymore. their house was amazing like walking around a palace. it is crazy how much money some folks have!!
I would totally be down for that but i moved across the country I no longer live out there. but let me know what i can help with i will share any knowledge i have about that place. love fishing out there
+garry contreras Oh yeah gone out of dana point a lot and if you look at the other video chaffee island as well. I have been out about 4 miles at the most but I think the 13 foot model would be much better for open water. 10 foot is more for calmer days for sure but it works like a dream even in bad weather. I was out at the kelp in dana point and wind came up bad took me 4 hours to get back to the harbor and the waves were 4 to 5 feet it sucked bad but the kayak did great it filled up with water twice from wave crashing over and all i did was pull the plugs and drain it out and keep going..
Great Vid! What color swimbaits are the most successful in HH? Also, when is the best time to fish there? Morning / evening? Incoming or outgoing tide? Thanks.
+Hoyt Yee the colors change a lot in HH depends a lot on the water clarity and weather and cloud cover.. i would be trying darker colors right now like Halloween and spottie special.
+Thomas Barray just be care if it is windy Open water is freaky alone lol.. if the surf is bad launch from cherry beach and hit those oil rig islands in the long beach harbor
+cool kayak just google map areas you can launch from almost any beach.. if it is your first time launch in the harbors first Huntington beach you can launch from oex kayaks
the trick is slow roll them, reeling super slow past the docks or structures. if you feel you swimbait touch the bottom ever once in awhile your at the right speed i used the 3/8 oz head because the 1/4 oz was to light when you reeled it in it would raise to much in the water column. also use the 3inch big hammers anything bigger they seam to not take as well
+travis booth you can use fresh water reels just make sure after every fishing day you rinse them really well. the salt will dry and make salt crystals that will really mess up the reel. i keep a medium to big sized water bottle in my truck so when i come back from fishing i can rinse the reel off really well then at home i use the hose to rinse it again. better safe than sorry. also once every 2 months i clean my reels fully. i was fishing 3 to 4 times a week in the ocean. the reel i use most is an abu garcia winch and i just upgraded parts on it.
they are in there man but yes newport gets hammered by people keeping illegal fish. try to hit spots that people have a hard time getting to. stuff that you can only access in low tide!!!
+Nathan Brown swimbaits!! small swimbaits are awesome all over southern cali. in all the harbors i use big hammers. i like them the best there is a little video i made on how you rig them!!
+BenintheOutdoors we throw big hammers every once in awhile the "spottie special" color lately with these crazy tides the fishing has sucked the only thing we've been getting them on is trolling a flicker shad
+Nathan Brown they love there cover you got to get your big hammers in next to the docks and walls.. at least your catching some most people arnt catching any lol.. try a super slow reel in keeping your bait bouncing off the bottom right now they want it really slow some times even stopped
yeah I started a new career in real estate so it has been hard to have time to make video but yes there will be some more coming soon. this year has been crazy
I used to float tube also, and I did HH once,.. never again! If you fish the shallow area, towards the PCH bridge, there's a pretty strong current you'll have to fight to get back to your launch. Something to consider..
+Cobe Mahan I use a Phenix M1 Swimbait Casting Rod 8' Med Hvy Taper Line Wt. Lure Wt. Guides Handle Type Handle Length Med-Fast 10-25lb 1/2-3oz 11+Tip M1 Swimbait 8 foot
+Jeff Lazo any of the little parks with beaches you can shore fish but that is about it in the harbors. other than that surf fishing and that just takes some time to learn you just have to get out there and do it!!! lol
+BenintheOutdoors I've been doing good on the sand bass over in rainbow harbor. I've been on the hunt for some good spotties. I'm thinking I might have to rent a kayak there tomorrow. We're all those docks private docks?
Jeff Lazo yes rent the kayak and just have a blast fish all the docks in the HH you can there are some pigs in there!! so be ready i caught a couple four and five lbers
I dont know what you are referring to when you ask where i rented something. if you are asking if i rented a kayak I bought mine that from Ack.com. everything i use is owned not rented.. but if you can rent a kayak and try it out before you buy one so you know what you want in a kayak. they come in all kinds of different setups now days
+Matthew Ballesteros the other replies are right on, dont get on any docks. you need a valid CA fishing licence with ocean stamp. other that that just your fishing stuff. let me know if you go out there i would love to here how you do!!!

Man look at those houses!
Awesome video!

Wow. Cool story. Will check out that place some time. That is after those great whites leave hunting beach. :(
Thanks for the comment back!
the whites never come in the harbor. but yeah they can be freaky man!! lol
Great video!
I just bought a fishing kayak & would love to learn from you fishing in LB area. Thanks.
I would totally be down for that but i moved across the country I no longer live out there. but let me know what i can help with i will share any knowledge i have about that place. love fishing out there
are you fishing the incoming or outgoing tide? and what action were you using on the lure?
Hey what's up man. I got another question what kind of yak do you have I like the reverse peddling. Hobie don't have that.
Pretty sure it's a Native Watercraft.
have you ever try fishing in open ocean water with that kayak?
+garry contreras Oh yeah gone out of dana point a lot and if you look at the other video chaffee island as well.

+Thomas Barray once you get out there you might not go anywhere else !! it is really fun!!!
+Thomas Barray just save up it is like 50 bucks
+Thomas Barray just be care if it is windy Open water is freaky alone lol.. if the surf is bad launch from cherry beach and hit those oil rig islands in the long beach harbor
+Thomas Barray just be careful i dont launch in big surf i hate it.. plus it is not worth losing all your gear if you flip over!!!
Hey i just got a kayak. I want to go fishing when you go. Where do you launch at?
+cool kayak just google map areas you can launch from almost any beach.. if it is your first time launch in the harbors first Huntington beach you can launch from oex kayaks
Just went today and caught nothin bro! Literally saw this video after though! Nice job! What time did you go out?
dusk and dawn are by far the best. but you can find them through out the day.. what were you using?
+BenintheOutdoors big hammer swimbaits mostly, but we didn't us the scent for them... Were you jigging your lure around the docks?
the trick is slow roll them, reeling super slow past the docks or structures. if you feel you swimbait touch the bottom ever once in awhile your at the right speed i used the 3/8 oz head because the 1/4 oz was to light when you reeled it in it would raise to much in the water column. also use the 3inch big hammers anything bigger they seam to not take as well
do you have reels designated or designed for saltwater? wondering if i can get away with using my freshwater baitcaster
+travis booth you can use fresh water reels just make sure after every fishing day you rinse them really well. the salt will dry and make salt crystals that will really mess up the reel. i keep a medium to big sized water bottle in my truck so when i come back from fishing i can rinse the reel off really well then at home i use the hose to rinse it again. better safe than sorry. also once every 2 months i clean my reels fully. i was fishing 3 to 4 times a week in the ocean. the reel i use most is an abu garcia winch and i just upgraded parts on it.
To many poachers here in Newport harbor to get a few big spotties 99% are micro spotties. Sucks
they are in there man but yes newport gets hammered by people keeping illegal fish. try to hit spots that people have a hard time getting to. stuff that you can only access in low tide!!!
where did you get those purple parts for ur abu
brandon toland hedgehog.com just make sure your getting all the right parts cause they ship from japan. great quality though..
what bait are you using I didn't see it I usually throw a little Texas rigged grub or spinner baits or ever once in a while a hammer
+Nathan Brown swimbaits!! small swimbaits are awesome all over southern cali. in all the harbors i use big hammers. i like them the best there is a little video i made on how you rig them!!

+BenintheOutdoors I went out this morning and got one by the bridge on a hammer and I got 3spots and 2 sandys on a little jig
is there plenty of docks to fish from i huntington?
No! you can not fish from docks they are private only
Where do you launch in huntington? I float tube newport a lot and usually just go off a beach
any of that parks you can launch from they all have little beaches
BenintheOutdoors alright thanks. Are u going to pu out any more videos soon
yeah I started a new career in real estate so it has been hard to have time to make video but yes there will be some more coming soon. this year has been crazy

I dont know what you are referring to when you ask where i rented something. if you are asking if i rented a kayak I bought mine that from Ack.com. everything i use is owned not rented.. but if you can rent a kayak and try it out before you buy one so you know what you want in a kayak. they come in all kinds of different setups now days

+Matthew Ballesteros just need a fishing license as long as you float around and dont go on any private docks.
+Michael Rahon good to know thanks for the info!
