    I am on my 6th trip learning to fish. All I got so far was a gash on the arm from the jetty rocks

    This is amazing. As a newbie with everything fishing related, you're a really great resource for people like me who are starting out. Hopefully we can fish together someday! Tight Lines!

    Nice day out there! I like bass a lot both for the fight and they're good eating. Nice to see you on the surf, although that boat you got is sweet and will offer more opportunities to latch onto the big ones. But the thing I love about the surf is you just go out and start fishing and when you're done, you're done. Oh, and "like a corbina" at the end there made me smile with anticipation for summer!

    • @BenjieKimFishing

      A big piece of me will always be with the surf! I feel like there is something mystical/magical about working a stretch of sand, figuring something out (or at least imagining it), and having it pay off.
      And yes, I truly miss corbina fishing, I am SO EAGER to get the season started. They're already starting to fill in the skinny and hopefully its all uphill from here with the warming water!

    great content once again thanks for sharing , @ 4:12 #tips , breaking down your rig and giving his pointers out on the sand surf fishing , so helpful...
    from what you mentioned it sounds like it's been pretty slow out on the surf , but hope to see you out on the surface again for more pointers , and helpful tips , and I really appreciate you , breaking down your rig to us...see you on the next one .....

      Hey thank you so much for your encouragement, I really appreciate it!
      To be honest, I haven't been on the sand as much as I'd like as I've been busy gearing up my new inflatable but yes, it has been on the slower side for me the past few months. But that's just me. Doesn't mean that its been slow for everyone. I'm looking forward to getting out there a lot more in the coming weeks as the water is on a nice warming trend and the bait and predators should be coming in close!

    @benasuncion9832 3 роки тому +2

    Hey Benjie can you mark where you’re casting on your still shots. Not sure where exactly the hole is located. Also I like your backpack. I tried your link but seems like they’re no longer available? As always great content.

    • @BenjieKimFishing
      @BenjieKimFishing  3 роки тому

      Hi Ben, awww man bummer about the backpack...someone else recently mentioned that too. Hopefully they'll restock it soon.
      In regards to the hole, the area right past where the rollers were crashing was a drop off. It was more of a medium size trough that ran about 30-40 yards (north to south). So for me, once I identified the drop off, I fan casted the entire trough until I got a bite. All my fish came from the same casting location, which means there was something there (bait/current/slightly deeper) that made the structure more ideal for fish to be holding.
