  • Yes, a fisherman should worry about kelp. If commercial fishing nets can get tangled in the kelp and if a sports fisherman lines can be caught in the kelp which help a fish escape once hooked.

Kelp helps provide cover for fish, both large and small. Small fish, or bait, hide out in the kelp stringers to hide from larger fish. Larger fish hang out in the kelp to hide from larger predators like seals, and to find bait fish to eat. Kelp can be seen or hidden in the water column due to the flow of the tide.

If the current runs in the right direction, the kelp stingers lie out and you can through bait or artificial lures between the stringers. It is fairly easy to pull fish out of the kelp using a 'kelp cutter' rig. This consists of using heavy braided line, such as Spectra, and a short 'topshot' (short 5-6') of fluorocarbon or monofilament line. The braid will cut through the kelp as you pull on it freezing the fish from the stringers.
