In Reply to: QUESTION ON POTHOLING IN KELP posted by potholing on November 11, 2002 at 14:30:51:
: I'm wondering if there is ANY way to keep the fish from wrapping around the kelp when potholing? I figure its unavoidable since your in the middle of a huge kelp bed with kelp just all around you. But wondering if there might be a method.
About the only thing you can do is go to the heaviest tackle you can get away with and still get bit. I usually use 10# test for calicos with a medium action bass rod and then try to keep them out of the trees.
