Thank you so much for this video. No matter how experienced we all are we always need a refresher. In many cases with a refresher even the best of fisherman will pick up a few things that they have either forgotten or never learn. Thank you again, Edward.
This is such an awesome video. For an avid fisherman moving to SD from the southeast, I really appreciate guides like these that really sum up everything you need to get started.
Edward, your content just about covers the full spectrum of fishing we have in Southern California. I have to admit that when you're fishing inshore or offshore, that's what really gets me excited. Oh, the ten foot Okuma would be a good choice off the jetties also.😊
Great video. Started watching videos a few days ago and I am a new subscriber. Started surf fishing with my uncle at age 5, 44 years ago! Back then it was bait and wait type fishing. I’ve done many types of fishing, kayaking the bays here in San Diego was so much fun but loading the yak, cleaning etc. was time consuming especially living in an apartment. Took 3 years off from fishing and I’m back in the surf. I love halibut fishing but the simplicity of perch fishing has always made me happy. Much smaller grade of fish here in SD but still fun, 13 inches is still my PB BSP. I also two torn up shoulders due to fishing so being back in the surf with lighter setups is so much more comfortable. Keep up the great videos. If you ever travel to the San Diego area let me know. Would love to wet a line with ya
Going to be camping at Faria and will be doing as much fishing as I can. Thank you for all the info. We be beneficial next week. Keep up the great videos.
love the content, just got back into it after a few year hiatus and your vids are so helpful. I've caught more striped bass this season than I ever have!
just got me a lighter setup. got a 10 foot rockway witha 4000 size shimano nasci. i love it, caught some perch on it so far, cant wait for stripers. also just bought some battle stars and some swimbaits off the website
Thanks for getting back to basic s I’m new to cayucos and been trying to find my niche Been getting just one or two here and there Gotta get back to basics And I think the wave power is usually on the higher side when I go
Learning about wave power years ago was a game changer for sure! Keep an eye on it and take mental note of what the numbers translate to in your water.
Hey man, loving the videos. I'm a beginner surf fisherman and you're getting me dialed forsure. I'm in SB and have been having a huge problem with weeds lately when throwing my jerk baits. Any recommendations on that? Would the Carolina Rig help?
If I were in sb, I’d use the same setup in this video but throw the battlestar XLS swim bait hook for halibut! Watch this video ua-cam.com/video/UPcIi36AC2Q/v-deo.htmlsi=K5OaGRjhb3vwNCeX But yes if you’re targeting surface try the Carolina rig
I noticed in another video you bought an SP rod but still prefer the Hawaiian custom for throwing jerkbaits, specifically. Is that still the case? Did the SP rod end up becoming something like a backup, or do you recommend it over the custom? Also, the SP is a lighter rod. Does it really feel that much lighter than the custom when all is said and done? Thanks.
Great tips for beginners! Regarding Carolina rigs, do you always use 1.5oz egg sinkers? Have you gone lighter? Is there a guide for #oz weight to use for what wave power range? Thanks!
Hey Edward, do you trout fish? What is your recommendation for a good ultra light lake trout rod? I’m thinking the Okuma Celilo Graphite Ultra Light Freshwater Rods, CE-S-862ULb….with a okuma Ceymar Lightweight Spinning Reel- C-30……I’m fishing Sierra lakes…..you thoughts? I’m using a Fenwick Willow now and the Celilo 9-6 ML you recommend for throwing jerk baits for perch. It works great for trout.
It’s all situational where the fish are feeding. Usually low tide they are farther out. but keep in mind at the end of your cast you gotta retrieve slack in your line and it takes a few yards of retrieve to have the bait running at the right depth.
Where can I get the waders you have on …?
amzn.to/4aMdTK2 for the waders. amzn.to/4aS7Ljp for the jacket
amzn.to/3xEBoqd for the boots
I swear I can watch you catch fish on the surf alllll day long. It’s so effortless for you!! Practice makes perfect!!! 🎣
The magic of editing makes 5 fish seem like 50 😜
Thank you so much for this video. No matter how experienced we all are we always need a refresher. In many cases with a refresher even the best of fisherman will pick up a few things that they have either forgotten or never learn. Thank you again, Edward.
That’s why this sport is so beautiful. So many variables and you can do it decades and not know it all. The challenge is what keeps bringing us back

Yeahhhh, let's get back to basics, braddahs!

I really enjoyed this episode!! Thank you Edward. Yea there wasn’t many catches but it was very informative.
Thanks!

Sounds great! Thanks
Great video. I learned a lot about surf fishing from you. You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you for explaining everything so well. 👏👏👏
Holy moly 43 minutes this video covers a ton of info
I always enjoy your surf fishing videos. Full of information. Thanks Edward!
love the content, just got back into it after a few year hiatus and your vids are so helpful. I've caught more striped bass this season than I ever have!
You picked a good time to come back
This is such a great informative video. Ed you make great content!
I appreciate that!
Nice video bro! I’m a newbie just starting out on the whole surf fishing thing, so all your videos really help…can’t wait for the perch pouch too 🤙🏽
Glad to hear it!
just got me a lighter setup. got a 10 foot rockway witha 4000 size shimano nasci. i love it, caught some perch on it so far, cant wait for stripers. also just bought some battle stars and some swimbaits off the website
First, I use a jerkbait. When the wind starts, I adjust my approach and switch to c-rig
Thanks for getting back to basic s
I’m new to cayucos and been trying to find my niche
Been getting just one or two here and there

Nice review on cuts in the surf….good review overall.
More to come!
Just bought a bunch a lures from you thanks

Thank you for the video! Great content! Do you have use bucktails?
No bucktails… our beaches are pretty shallow to run those. Stickbaits work better in our waters
I tried to do this in Malibu last weekend.. I got skunked. It was fun looking up at incoming waves.. 😅
Sometimes you gotta put in the time to figure out the right combination of conditions, tide, and spot!
@Hook2Cook Thanks. I saw some recommendations for apps to help with that. I'll give it another go soon. Thanks for sharing these vids.

Good tips
Where can I find the Okuma Hawaiian 10’7” rod,I live in Manteca
Have you ever tried the Berkley ghost shrimp?
I usually fish early prior to sunrise (5:30-8 or so) - what color for calissa’s or battlestars do you like when it’s dark out?
Still the sardine glow. It casts a nice sillouette and that white belly is attractive
When are you gonna cut the SP rods butt end, I’m trying to decide whether I should buy one and do the same please hurry up 🤣
I’m ordering the replacement butt caps!
What brand waders do you use?
8fans amzn.to/4cUWGzY
When you getting more Perch Pouch in stock?
Next month! Sorry it’s taking so long!
Sounds good thanks,such a commodity.Probably will sellout rite away lol. Another great video by the way
But how do you tie the lure to the line. You showed the Carolina but nothing for the jerk bait
Use a 30-50# clip tied to a leader or straight braid using a San Diego jam knot
Hey were was this at
Have you tried beyond braid? I have a 7 foot rod and beyond braid makes me cast farther than my 11 foot rod math mono
havent tried beyond braid thanks for the suggestion.
how far should we cast, sometimes I feel like I'm to far then others not far enough?
It’s all situational where the fish are feeding. Usually low tide they are farther out. but keep in mind at the end of your cast you gotta retrieve slack in your line and it takes a few yards of retrieve to have the bait running at the right depth.
Aprub!
