Dan Hernandez: This is flat-line, it's flat-line to bait right in the kelp point there and I am pretty sure it's a calico. It doesn't feel like a yellow but my bait just hit the water and the fish was just all over it. You can see the gear I am fishing with today, we've got the Penn International 965 reel. We've got 15-pound test line and Dan Hernandez.
Oh, it's a nice bass, nice calico. There we go. It's a legal bass, nice for fish. Again all we're doing is just fishing in live bait. We can see that perfection loop now they have in there, so that my bait can swim around, really small sinker. I am just throwing it right up on the counter.
I am going to turn on another bait and I'll show you how to do it. When you pick a bait you don't want to reach in the bait tank. The guys will slap you with the nets. This is the bait well. This is where you find your bait. You want to look for a nice lively bait, one that's swimming around a lot. We've got -- today we've mackerel and sardines. So I am going to get a nice lively bait.
One that doesn't have a red nose, has nice color on it. So you take the hook, slide it right in front of the eyeballs. Just like that. Find a spot in the corner here. And all you want to do is just fling this out there. Try to get as close the kelp as you can then just kind of feel it alive.
We just want to make sure it's swimming away. You don't want to just toss line out there. You want to make sure you feel the bait, sometimes up with the reeling gear and just wind in the slack, so I catch up to my bait. And then start feeling it a little bit alive.
You want to always feel what that bait is doing. Here we go. Here we go. Nice calico. Hey Tim! It's our skipper Tim! So where exactly are we right now, Tim?
Tim: We are just about last pointer, and that's at Kennedy Island (ph). Dan, it's a matter of 199 degrees.
Dan Hernandez: And so it trying to catch.
