FOCUS ON THE BOTTOM | Pokai Bay | Kayak Fishing Hawaii

Summary:
Windy weather and big swells chased us to Pokai Bay on this weekend of fishing. Decided to try some new things to add some diversity to the channel. In this vid we dusted off the deep drop gear and tried to target some deep 7 species. By the end of the day we had a diverse catch, quite different than the normal bag of pelagics. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!

I don’t really aim to make money on the merchandise, it’s more to just have something for anyone who would like a shirt, mug, etc. Check it out on TeePublic at http://tee.pub/lic/pnZm8TcpqEI
