Epic Wide Open White Seabass Bite on the Kayak (LIMITS)
After a long time chasing these fish I finally ran into the bite I was looking for. Most of the Seabass were small but there were a few keepers and some good fish mixed in the school. I managed to land quite a few keeper fish over the course of the week before the fish left. It was pretty epic out there

Catching MONSTER Bluefin Tuna in San Diego (Nonstop Action) Pt.1

About a month ago I set out on a trip to San Diego in efforts to fulfill my goal of catching a giant Bluefin Tuna. I met up with fellow youtube @FishermansChronicles and just so happened to be on the boat with local youtuber @BenjieKimFishing (go check out both of their channels). After a five hour boat ride south and a couple stops without fish we finally ran into an epic bite. Everyone was ho...

Light Tackle Surf Striper on the SP Minnow!
Переглядів 24 тис.3 роки тому
I went out looking for my first keeper Striper of the year, and was rewarded with a solid 25 inch fish. To make things even better the Striper came in on my super light perch rod and fought like it was a 20 pounder. I highly recommend fishing with as light as rod as you can get away with, it really brings the fight out of these smaller fish. GEAR USED/PRODUCT LINKS Rods/Reels Okuma Rockaway SP ...

I took my new Spinfisher out to see how it paired with my tried and true Lamiglass Insane Surf. It reel felt pretty refined (for a Penn) and wasn't too heavy for the rod. The large diameter spool made it a great casting reel and it handled a 30 pound bat ray very well, although there was some issue with cranking under a heavy load which I attribute to the high gear ratio and sub par main gear s...

      @@pasolesoup7430Medium Heavy, but more on the limber side of the spectrum, as there’s no industry set standards to power. Then I’d go with a Super or Zara Spook or Yozuris and watch em get smoked. Most of my top water bites are on slow eradicated movements. Reels really don’t matter too much. Really all in the Rod. Personally I own a Saltiga and it’s a great choice for jigging if you got the cheddar.

    I just started fishing for halibut off my kayak and am completely lost. Any advice for depth, structure vs. sand etc.? Do you all just let it drag as you drift or do you hop it more vertical every so often? I just have such a hard time seeing bites when my weight keeps catching on rocks and kelp…

    Really enjoyed watching all you young bucks having such a good time surfcasting......until about 9:40 into it. Call me a grumpy old guy but I'm about 60 years into this and I cringe, that's 'CRINGE' with a capital 'C' when I see a nice rod and reel set down in the sand. Any sand. Tuck it under your arm, hand it to a friend or set the reel in your ball cap at least. I know the "it's propped up on the crank" crap. Wet sand stuck on your rod, guides and line. Sand is near death to a good reel. I bet you didn't learn that move from your Dad. Other than that, nice catch.
