I love your videos. Nice selection of content. Editing is great. Commentaries are spot on. Can't wait for the preparation video on the rockfish. How about listing your equipment and rig setups.
Brooo I just saw this vid pop up right as I’m prepping to go rockfishing! Those were some nice exciting catches man! Hopefully I have the same luck on some spots I’m trying to hit up 🤞🏽
I'm a few hours away from the coast and would like to try some day. When you're using bait, are you letting it sink to the bottom and just let it sit there until you feel a bite? I would suspect that it gets snagged everytime if I were to let it swoosh around on the bottom, no?
Thanks for watching! I try to use a heavy enough weight (4-8 oz depending on current) so that it sits still on the bottom. The more it moves around, the more often you'll snag.
Just wander the coast, find your own spot. Muir Beach-slide ranch area is cool. if you head north Fort Ross-Timber Cove, Salt Point tons of good spots here. If you really want to go on a mission the entire Mendcino Coast from Navarro Pointe through Westport
@sf_angler Awesome. I've never been out that way. I'm in the East Bay, and whether I catch fish or not, I like the Sausalito, CA waters more than the Bay because of the water quality, warmer weather, and scenery. I used to surf fish in Halfmoin Bay near the Safeway shopping center, but the last time I drove out there a few years ago, the shore was washed away. So, I couldn't climb down the hill and surf fish. Even then, there was a public sign posted that warned about water pollution, which is sad. I recently conducted research on lakes and ponds across the East Bay Area, and noticed pollution warning signs posted. I can't believe how many that most of these waterways or "fishing pools" are polluted. Let me know when you're out in the Bay Area. I'll come out.
Thanks for watching! The MadameLure minis are not quite as tough as JRPs (similar to a Big Hammer or Candy Bar) but their 7" "Big Richard" is a tougher material.
Why did you switch to a smaller rod when using artificial lure, especially if you were targeting bigger fish with it? Also nice tip about the leader being less pounds than the main line so if it breaks off you only lose the hook but keep the weight.
Thanks for watching! I used a heavy weight (5 oz) for the bait fishing for max casting distance so needed the heavier rod for it. The swimbait was much lighter so the lighter rod allowed further and more accurate casts and more sensitivity. Both were capable of handling any fish I might have hooked into.
Elite cinematography, Elite commentary, 10/10 content 💯
the release on the 3rd fish was so funny, the fish just smacked on the rock🤣
this quenched my thirst for rock fish content
Awesome video, looked like an amazing day of fishing!! What a giant perch too and nice ling too! So many species!!!
Yes sf angler finally post!!! Great upload!!
Thanks for watching, going to start posting way more often now

Got to try this around here more 👍
Nice fish. Few more months then halibut are back! Who knows maybe I’ll see you out there because I got a reliable whip now.

Good luck!
Good to see you fishing, hopefully we’ll fish some time.
Once you start fishing again let's hit the pier!
@@sf_angler or go on CJs boat for halibut
Where is the spot

Great fishing spot. What bait were you using?
Nice place to fish. I just got my license this year and I’m ready to fish. But, where the Spot??

Awesome. I'm looking for off-shore spots to fish in the Bay like this. Where exactly is this?
Thanks for watching! This was north of Bodega Bay.

Is the madame swimbait similar to a JRP? Meaning slightly tougher plastic and strong thumping. The jrp almost fish like a crank bait.

Which area spot is this
Can you please share me the location?
R u using a high low rig here ?
Bro I wish I got on that blue bite I would've been filling coolers with those guys rather than groundfish 😭
Cool vid as usual David. If I’m not mistaken this place is the Pacific Ocean?
How'd you know?!

Id never set a fish back with a hook in its body like that. Pretty lame bud.
