I'll bet that was this past weekend, I went out and lasted 45 mins tops because of the wind. I couldn't 'feel' my line as there was a huge bow in it plus my shoulder was getting tired from my rod being pushed sideways. It also didn't help the current was ripping south. Gave up in frustration eventually.
Awesome video! Is that beach in santa cruz? The reason i ask is because i think I saw the same dude windsurfing that day with the exact same green color LOL! It was super windy, but I managed to land 3 little dinks. I was out there on Presidents day, it'd be cool if we were out there at the same time. I was vlogging too haha!
I see in your other videos you have a Shimano torium. How do you like it?, i was thinking of getting one but somebody told me the gear ratio is wacky, is that true?
On Windy days when you can't feel the bite I have found that fish Love To Short bite, try using circle hooks they will hook the fish when the fish swims away and try it on tournament days when you can't choose your days to fish it will put an endTo Short bites
I have never tried a penn prevail but I here good things. Honestly, either MH or M will work for surfperch. It depends on personal preference and what type of fishing you will be doing.
oh I see. What's the recommended weight for lure on your rod, if you don't mind me asking. thanks by the way, this helps have an idea on what rod to get
Rugged wind. It looks like video was filmed this past Sunday or Monday (President's Day)? Saturday was a nice day, and actually a little on the warm side at Bean Hollow (where I was). Sunday and Monday were a whole different story. Way to stick with it. I kind of figured you'd be out there.
Yeah, I took the garbage out that day . . . and by the time I got back from the trash cans, I had my fill of wind for the day. I ended up falling asleep on my living room couch instead.
Hey diehard, I have a gopro hero 5 the audio isn't that great but you can get mics that can help you have better audio for your camera. Nice catches man!
Die Hard Fishing Np! I would recommend the hero 4 it's easier to get microphones for it the hero 5 you need an adaptor and then a mic so give it a look
Great video again man! I find it hard to fish at 16mph and you fished at 30mph and managed to get a couple perchs!!? Die hard fisherman!! 🎣
haha thanks! It was tough out there.
On windy days my lucky craft just gets blown back towards me and the waves push it back my way.
Now that is die hard fishing! Way to stick with it!👍
Thanks!
Awesome vid!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!
Thanks for telling us how much time you put in .
Its good to see the tough times as well as the good times so we know it happens to everybody..LOL!
lol, yeah not always out there catching mondos, gotta put in the time!
wind surfer spooking the fish....gotta love cali!

Yep, this past weekend! Wind was brutal! Glad to here I wasn't the only crazy one out there giving it a try!

This wasn't in Santa Cruz but this was the day before presidents day. Maybe the same guy moved over to your beach the next day!
Ohh okay, maybe he did haha!
I see in your other videos you have a Shimano torium. How do you like it?, i was thinking of getting one but somebody told me the gear ratio is wacky, is that true?
I am not sure about the gear ratio but I like it! Very smooth and has a good drag. I actually have two of them!
You did better than I did. Only had one bite and I missed the fish.
Dang, better luck next time!
i wonder what a kite-flying doosh looks like ... 3:45 ... oh that's what lol. way to stick it out mang, dhf for a reason👌🏻
Thanks! I think the fish were as freaked out as I was to see that guy in so close.
Winds been brutal, today was not bad but still decent this afternoon.
Hoping it dies down for this weekend!

Thanks for the tip!
Whats the best wind for surf fishing?
if there is one thing that ruins a day of fishing for me it would be a strong wind
True that!
What would you consider ideal surf fishing winds and what would be to much wind ?
Ideal would be no wind and I would so anything over 30mph is too much
Thanks
what beach?
would you recommend a MH rod or a medium rod Shimano Convergence for perch?
also is it any difference from 10ft penn prevail with shimano convergence?
I have never tried a penn prevail but I here good things. Honestly, either MH or M will work for surfperch. It depends on personal preference and what type of fishing you will be doing.
the one you are using is it an Medium Hev?
no it is a medium
oh I see. What's the recommended weight for lure on your rod, if you don't mind me asking.
thanks by the way, this helps have an idea on what rod to get
Of course! It is rated for 1/4 to 1 ounce.
Rugged wind. It looks like video was filmed this past Sunday or Monday (President's Day)? Saturday was a nice day, and actually a little on the warm side at Bean Hollow (where I was). Sunday and Monday were a whole different story. Way to stick with it. I kind of figured you'd be out there.
Thanks, yeah this was on Sunday. Started out ok but wind got worse and worse as the day went on.
Yeah, I took the garbage out that day . . . and by the time I got back from the trash cans, I had my fill of wind for the day. I ended up falling asleep on my living room couch instead.
hahaha, don't worry you didn't miss much
Lol way to go anytime I’m going to hit the sand and see wind surfers I usually bail.
Yeah it was tough out there.
Do you know any good spots in the Los Angeles area or San Diego area for surf fishing I have always wanted to try it out.
I have never fished there but I assume any sandy beach should be good. Only one way to find out!
Hey diehard, I have a gopro hero 5 the audio isn't that great but you can get mics that can help you have better audio for your camera. Nice catches man!
Thanks for the tip! I might have to try that out if these winds keep it up!
Die Hard Fishing Np! I would recommend the hero 4 it's easier to get microphones for it the hero 5 you need an adaptor and then a mic so give it a look
Really nice video 👌🏻
Thanks!
Die Hard for reals, way to stick with it until you caught some fish. I was skunked last week on Saturday thought the perch might have moved on
They are still there! Hope this wind dies down soon!
Dude, are you rockin a minivan?
haha, na its a Toyota Corolla
@Die Hard Fishing , Minivans ROCK!!!!!. I still wish I had mine
How far can you cast that lure?
maybe 100-150 feet with no wind
Thats pretty far!
Those things have no weight!
omg i hate extreme winds like this XD makes casting out far really difficult n just puts the fish off the bite
yeah it just makes everything harder, such a pain.
haha XD sun may b high and bright but a strong gust of wind is always a pain as well as so many other things
🐟🎣😘🐟👏👏👏👏
