How to Fish a YoYo Iron | Yellowtail Tips

Captain Dave Hansen on a quick video on How to fish for yellowtail using irons.
For yo-yoing deeper fish like yellowtail; just drop your lure over the side straight down and let it drop fast until it hits the bottom. Then engage the reel and retrieve as fast as you can about half way to even all the way up then stop and let it drop to the bottom again and repeat, hence the name like a "yo-yo".

I don't own a boat. I don't fish or even have a fishing rod. As a matter of fact, I have no idea how this channel ended up on my RUclips video feed. Nevertheless, I am a new subscriber, because Captain Dave is such a great teacher. If only young people grew up with the guidance of people like Captain Dave, this world would be in better shape.

[@MC-pz3ps]

Your my favorite Capt. Dave!, I'm a fisherman from NorCal. As a surf caster, I found love casting for Yellowtails, and had some great trips catching Yellowtails, on surface irons and yo-yo'ing. I'm intrigued with those Ahi Flash Jigs, I bought some, in Anchovy, Green Mackerel, and Sardine. Going on a big trip later, which finish color is the go-to color? Or are they all good? And do you change out the silver treble hooks to bronze treble hooks? Thanks' Capt. Dave

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

I would anchovy because that what is all around now

[@jessevelasquez9518]

What’s up with that yo-yo rod?

[@fvaldez714]

That’s what I’m sayin, looks like a branch 😂

[@confuused34]

Turns out my deep water small mouth bass technique is called yo-yoing haha. I do this every time. I have a slight spin on this though.
Let the jig hit the bottom, fly swat, hit the bottom, 5-10 reels, and repeat.

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

perfect if it works

[@TheJwhollis]

Dave, do you believe in spiral wrapping your guides
on almost all your rods using conventional reels ?
It even seems to me there might be some value in
using spiral wrapped guides while employing
your new (to me) curved butt section you've
started building in Montano. Thanks...

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

I have only fish with the spiral wrap once so not sure

[@georgeniebergall7074]

I've been looking all over for that rod you're using what is the name of it where can I get it

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

Its not the Rod its the grip.

[@adraper30]

How long until the blues and yellows start showing up in the long beach area

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

Its all about the water.Need some clean water.

[@immersivefishing5009]

How do you avoid getting snagged on the bottom, kelp, rocks, ect ....

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

when you hit the bottom you need to start reeling that way you do not get snagged

[@fred38810]

What kind of pole is that

[@brantrichardson1949]

Fishimus maximus! Its too goofy to use in public but I would bet it actually gives you a better grip than a normal rod.

[@javi_sd619]

first you said 10 cranks then you said 6 -7 cranks?????

[@yoursaltwaterfishingguidec5187]

Two different ways,If you watch one is ten cranks if you cast it.6or seven if you drop it straight down.

Surface iron on the bottom 😂

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

that would take a long time. And no one has that much time. Fish a yoyo iron on the bottom, Fish a surface iron on the surface.

[@yepyep340]

"right way my way" Brahaaaa Look at that rod. Is the right way the way to make money again and push some B.S?

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

What are you sayn? I have fished for a living for more then Forty years.I helped come up with the design of these grips.Not sure what you do for a living but you are probably good at it.I only push what I use. So until you try it you can not say anything about it. Why do people need to always be negative?

[@yepyep340]

@@YourSaltwaterGuide So yeah you're definitely 'fishing'. Re inventing the wheel? Or taken someone ealses idea and making it better what ever ya callin it I'm a laughing at it. Maybe you should have got a real job.40 years Ha!
