Fish Were Lost, Lesson Learned | Kayak Fishing Hawaii
Summary:
This fishing day was filmed prior to the “Man Overboard” episode. There were a lot of errors this day, so in sticking with the lessons learned theme from the previous episode, I hope to show some of the errors I made this day in hopes that you all can avoid these errors and not lose out on any fish! A cute little 17.5lb shibi saved this day.
Kayak: 2014 Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 14

Main and backup rods: Silver Hook 6’6″ Medium Heavy, Shimano Trevala 5’8″ Extra Heavy
Bait rod: Shimano Grappler Type J (it was for my old conventional depth counter reel, but I swill use it with a spinner, probably why the line makes noise when I reel it in)
Reels: Shimano SpeedMaster 25ii (https://a.co/d/8EkZHpP), Penn Squal 50LD (aka “the lucky reel” https://a.co/d/4e1nOBL), Shimano Stella SW 5000 (Bait Reel https://a.co/d/1o3UXaC), Penn Spinfisher VI 8500 (Hilo Main Reels https://a.co/d/9ES1yQQ), Shimano TwinPower 5000 (Hilo Bait Reel https://a.co/d/4nPNush).

Damashi: Homemade using line between 12-16lb, typically J-Flouro Samurai. I typically tie my own flies. When using lures, I like Tylah lures or CHL Nox Minnows, both I set up with gold hooks and a red bead which I find to be very effective and highly recommend them. (Tylahlures.com and chlures.com and check out my buddy (Geronimo Angeles | Facebook) for those BiteLytes!
Camera: GoPro Hero 8 Black, GoPro Hero 9 Black
Note: I link the amazon links for ease of finding products and ease or purchase/delivery, but I highly recommend shopping at your local fishing stores and support them (like www.hawaiinearshorefishing.com or www.hifishgear.com).
