The stairs at 38th. Usually launch at the capitola wharf

Not this session. But it’s always changing. Any kind of swell can move things around. If I get grass on the first few cast, I move beaches.

@@caloha7057 I hate the randomness of the seaweed. I always want to fish the beach in this video but every time I go I spend more time taking off seaweed than casting.

@@Ducky2oI totally get it. So annoying

@@caloha7057 I occasionally fish in "your 2" area. Maybe, sometime we'll cross the same sand. Unfortunately, I have to drive near 2 hours to get there. Seaweed has ruined many of my trips.

Get some halibut there. Really depends on the year. There hasn’t been much bait or bird activity this season so far. I tried for halibut the other day with no luck.

@@caloha7057 Thanks! Do you use a drop shot white fluke or jerk baits for halibut?

@@ronmodafferi8202I use the drop shot mostly when going for halibut. Sometimes throw the white and pink Lucky Craft 115.

Thanks man. Yeah I fish from Santa Cruz to Carmel, mostly in the Santa Cruz area. My rod is a 10’ daiwa salmon steelhead rod. Think they discontinued it. It’s rated for 1/4-1/2 oz lures. Perfect for throwing Lucku Craft and jerk baits up to 3/4oz. I like rods in that 1/2-2 oz rating. I use 15lb braid.

@@caloha7057 Thanks. 15 braid; most use 30. Do you have a fluoro leader or just straight braid to the LC, Calissa or Battle Star. I'm 80 years and don't wade much and have trouble casting those lures far enough. I just got a super light rod Okuma SP shorth handle 8"6" but have other Okumas and a Hawaiian Custom 10'7". I have fished Twin Lakes, 4th Ave, Sea Cliffs, Sea Bright, Rio Del Mar, and Black Rock Beaches with variable success, I always get there when "You should have been here last week. Ha Ha

That okuma Hawaiian is perfect. I was thinking about picking one up. If you don’t go deeper in the water with waders, fish at the higher tides. Easier to get to deeper water. Look for beaches with sand piled up. A nice slope makes for better structure.

@@caloha7057That sounds more like the Sea Bright area than the father south Rio Del Mar areas. Yes! I always look for deep sloping beaches with near shore "blue" deep water so I don't have to wade. The Hawaiian Custom is a Roles Royce of surf rods. But for an old guy like me that long rod seems to get tip heavy (unbalanced?) after an hour of constant casting and retrieving.

How’d you do??

@@caloha7057 a few rockfish, 5 keeper lingcod, and a bunch of shaker lingcod

@@caloha7057 5 keeper lingcod , a few rockfish and a bunch of shaker lingcod

We were on a boat no kayak for me

Rad!! I’ll eventually find myself a yak 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Oh I know it, but I’m so stubborn and Chose to keep with the jerk baits. I take my Carolina gear out of the bag and force myself to get better. But more skunky sessions.

@@caloha7057 haha yea I hear ya

Definitely starting to get fun, can’t wait for it to really turn on!!!

Thank!! Appreciate it 🤙🤙

Thanks for watching, my go to is the lucky craft 110 in shallower water and the LC 115 and Battlestar in deeper water. Lighter gear gear gets more distance on those lures. Stripe and halibut are more in the summer months. Around here anyways.

Hi Thanks for then response. What's light gear and rod length? But what if a striper or halibut grabs it with light gear? I guess you juts deal with it as best you can. Your roads/highway are all tied up now!@@caloha7057

It’s a Daiwa Sealine SS ultra light. Older rod, not sure they even make it anymore. My favorite rod to throw from the surf.

@caloha7057 thank you will look into that. What's the length? 9-10ft?

10’ 1/4-1/2oz rating. Light action. Perfect for 110-115 size lures. 3/4 egg sinkers. When I throw heavier baits I switch rods to my okuma.

@@caloha7057 thank you

If I can only outsmart them more often 😂😂

I’m not sure what your asking, but obviously. But just the tip though.

Monterey bay. 🤙

@caloha7057 tight lines my friend 👌🏼

Barred surf perch.

Thanks bud!!

@@caloha7057 no problem! Hoping to see you guys this year 🤞

I’m not too familiar with fresh water gear, but the lucky craft 110 is 5/8oz and the 115 is 3/4oz. Perfect when conditions are good. But when the wind turns onshore, I can’t get any distance. Way to light.

Ok Thankyou Sir

Thanks!! Yeah, this year has been tough for me finding perch. Especially on the jerk baits. But really good on the other fish species this year 🤙

Yep!! That’s part of the fun, and frustration of shore fishing. Figuring it all out

It could be where (in what in waters you're using it)?

This was a few weeks back. Bunch of swell in the water lately. Only luck I’ve been having is perch on the Carolina rig recently

@@caloha7057 I was able to catch consistently in September, but hit or miss in Oct

They’re fun and annoying at the same time!!!

You know it!!! 👑

🤙🤙

Thanks! 😁

Thanks 👍

Yeah I like the lucky craft as my go to. Both the 110 and 115. Bait isn’t thick like it was, but some birds diving here and there

South and in Santa Cruz.

You know it!!!

You know it!!!

I need to get back out there 😂

Thanks!! 🤙

I change it up sometimes, especially depending on wave action. But generally straight retrieve. I may have to try ripping it 👍

Thanks bro!

Yeah buddy!!

Thanks!! I use the Daiwa Lexa 300. It’s salt water rated, but not a fully sealed reel. I really like it, been good to me.

@@caloha7057 ok. I just looked it up. Its a has a good cost/quality ratio. Thanks!

Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I’m trying my best to put out vids. 🤙

Thank you. I did reach out the the manufacturer with a claim. Waiting for a response. Hopefully I can get a replacement. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I’m in Northern California. Fish from Pacifica down to Carmel. But mostly in the Monterey Bay

@@caloha7057 Yeh, I occasionally fish Twin Lakes, Black Rock, and 20th with spotty luck???

@@ronmodafferi8202 the structure changes so much at those spots. Could be fire one day then skunk session the next day. But that’s fishing….

@@caloha7057 Hi! Thanks lots for the encouragement, i need it.

Definitely. I’ve had a hard time finding the perch in my area.

🤣🤣🤣
