So does anyone fish or just nah???

I've mostly downrigged for chinook salmon for the last 25 years , but as the grandsons got more independent ,
they made me go for bass and lakers. The bass are now averaging bigger than when I was a teenager.
They started to feed on Gobies (an invasive species in Georgian Bay)

What type rigs, jigs, or lures do you toss into that swift current?
I do pretty well, when the turbines are turned on, tossing big "Rooster Tails, Rattle-Traps, Swim Baits"...still hard for me to get used that current.

If you are asking me i throw buckyail jigs i tie myself also ballhead jigs with rubber grubs on them i throw thwm upcurrent and float them back and other timws i throw them out and let them swing awaythen whe allmost at 12 o clock real it back in cuz once it gets past you you will loose it.be prepared to loose them sometimes i loose 10 or 12 a might surf fishing for snook and reds in the inlets and passes

I throw wind cheaters and x raps too and float them down current and let thrm houver and twitch and bring them back real slow

I throw anywerw from 1.6 oz to 2.5 ox depending on current and depth i also sight cast them for coboa up in down the beach on the rays its fun to watch a 40 lb cobia come under a manta ray to chase down a jig and wack it specially if there are several of them and they are trying to outrun each other to get to it

Lots of different ways but heres one Main line down to swivel with a dropper line with split shot.Then a four or five ft leader tipped with a fly or whatever.

Anyone kayak ocean fishing?

Have been paddling around the local rocky coastline with light gear this Summer in a green plastic bath tub excuse for a kayak that has all the hydrodynamics of a brick and leaks like a Trump administration, but finding some good fighting surface fish (mainly Kahawai), and losing a few monsters that smoked me on the rocks. Am saving up to get a bit more serious about it, with a view to learning how to catch the premier hell-raiser inshore-accessible fish here called Kingfish (you call 'em Amberjacks up there). Minimum legal size for those is 750mm (29.5") here and they grow up to about 2000mm (78"). Absolute freight trains built for speed. Looks like great fun in a kayak. Quite a challenge. I could die happy if I nailed one like this ( skip to 2:50):

Landed and released three good sized Kahawai last night. Only keep a few from time to time as we aren't big fish eaters and I actually can't stomach seafood at all.
