Andrew "Iceman" Allen on San Diego Bay. On a Jackson kayak.

At the Mecca for kayak fishing, La Jolla. One of a kind color Trident 15, SD Charger Blue.

You can't have to many reels.
You can't have TOO many reels.

I have an okuma Catalina MH that I use for Calicos off my kayak. I like the extra length at 8' it allows me to clear the nose of my yak if the fish hangs in the kelp.

I recognize the bass and the white bass. What is the fish with the forked tail? I only fish salt water here in San Diego.

I use them in San Diego bay. They work on all of the fish in this large body of saltwater, spotted bay bass, sand bass, halibut, croakers, bonita and the dreaded lizard fish.

Almost strange to see spinning gear in the salt. There is a HUGE bias for casting reels here in So Cal.

Double or triple surgeon depending on line weights. Holds great and is the easiest knot to tie.

Kayak rod choices are dependant on a few criteria. 1. Kayak length, will my rod allow me to play the fish if it decides to circle around the bow of my 'yak? On a very short 'yak 6'6" is ok. On a longer 'yak 7' to 7'6" would be better. You don't want to be cut off on your hull. 2. Will I need to stow...
