- In this video, I dive into the 3 phone apps I use when planning my surf fishing trips. These tools have helped increase my fishing productivity significantly and I believe that they can help you catch more fish as well.
Please note that I don't cover other potentially important aspects of finding an active bite such as water temps, coefficients, and barometric pressure. Perhaps I'll cover that in a future video!

Just started surf fishing in San Diego, but have been a lifelong fisherman for about 40yrs+ elsewhere. Your videos are super helpful, and informative, even for this old dog; I'm learning some new tricks! 😂Thank You!
Hello, good sir. I must say, loving your videos. Clear, concise, to the point, yet not boring. I would call it a net positive that you didn't have someone teach you surf fishing. The reason I say that, is because you were able to learn based on what worked and not any myths, beliefs, or otherwise erroneous "knowledge". It is usually better to learn based on factual and first hand experience, than learning someone else's biases, beliefs, or what they were told is the right way. Keep up the good work. I am happy to be a subscriber, and I will definitely be using these apps.
Hi Kevin, thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful comment. I've certainly learned a lot from surf mentors, but I think time on the water has certainly been my greatest teacher...and that philosophy was actually taught to me so I guess it works all the way around!
Thank you Benjie for doing all this hard work to make our fishing experience better. You are awesome brotha!!
Great video Benjie! 😇
Benji great video again. Beautiful family as well. Funny you out this up and described to people how to use. I just was talking with a buddy about the same type of apps and the same things you look for. Again great video great explanation. It will definitely help people. Keep putting awesome content out.
Big 🙏 benji!! Appreciate all your content.
Great stuff Benjie, thanks for sharing!
Greatly appreciated Bill, thank you!
Your tutorial what's the best I've heard in years that is very appreciative thank you my friend.
Thanks Benjie! Always learning from you.
I appreciate that so much Eugene, thank you as always for your encouragement!
OMG, Benjie, this will be so helpful, thank you for all your videos!!
I appreciate that, I hope you can apply it to your fishing and figure stuff out that is even better than what I've shared here!
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful, thanks Benjie!
Appreciate it Leo, thank you!
Wow… this video is so incredibly helpful! Thank you!!!
Thank you again!! for taking time to share such great information... learning everyday to be better fisherman... another great video! 🎬
Thank you so much for the positivity and encouragement!
I never really knew what people looked for on the surf apps as far as fishing goes. Great info Benjie!
Much appreciated Josh....as ALWAYS!
I downloaded the apps, and love the analysis and intend to use it at my spots. Was already using a tide chart and the Solunar stuff a lot (with limited success), but I like your thoughts on wind and wave height/swell timing so much more. Thank you for sharing. When I used to use the facebooks, I was a member of the California Surf Angler's and learned a lot from that page. Like you, even though I have fished all my life, I started trying the surf a few yours ago without a mentor. Great channel!!!
Greatly appreciate your encouragement and support Michael thank you so much 🙏. CSA is def a great page, I learned a lot from there as well.
Great explanation. Definitely going to give some of these apps a try.
Brotha, you don't need apps.....you just straight up slay!!
haha, but maybe some of these can add to your arsenal. I think the most important thing is to get out there and fish!
Oh man. You know Benjie, you share more info than anybody. I'm not much of a phone app guy, and I know a lot of what these apps tell you - but not all at once. I can not go often, so when I do finally get out, it's usually like Nazare, Portugal. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you for the info. I always thought shorter swell periods 2-3sec were better but thanks to you now I know that’s not the case
Yoooo thanks for this video man. Maybe I’ll catch you out on the beach. Some of your videos are showing spots I’ve seen before. Tight lines 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Great video, very helpful.
Good info. Thanks.
Thanks for another excellent and educational video! I've been using Tides4Fishing but your insight into these other resources are greatly appreciated. Since it takes me over an hour to get to the early morning surf, having these extra tools will definitely help prepare what to expect for a three to four hour session. Keep up the great work!
This is awesome! Thank you!
Great advice- let’s go fishing!
Been using Surfline for years for surfing and thanks for the heads up on other apps. This will help me beat the skunk for Surf fishing.
Thanks for the tips I’m in SoCal getting into surf fishing I got skunked the other day these tips will be very helpful
I love the cover!
B-Thanks for sharing-know this will improve my surf fishing days!
Didn’t hear one thing I could disagree with. Coincendently those are the 3 apps I use too...IMO this is one of your most educationally valuable videos, no BS in here.
I see this question asked a bunch. Great video idea. Thanks brother!
As always, thanks so much Jason! Have you been getting out there recently?? Its been a long minute for me!
@@BenjieKimFishing It's been a couple weeks. Gonna go trout fishing next weekend. It's never enough with my busy schedule and home life, but I'm always thinking about it!🤣
nice video keep up with the good job
thank you!
Wow great job thanks you BEN
Always appreciate you brotha, thank you for the encouragement!
you have done it again. I just learned a lot. I told sienna I should wear a go pro and show people how to skunk
Hey Ruben!!!! haha man, the struggle is real bro. But the season is just starting so the bite has nowhere else to go but up! I've seen you on the bite so many times so lean upon those memories and experience to know that you're doing your part. Fish just gotta be in the mood to eat. Please tell Sienna hello and I'm looking forward to you getting back out there and killing it!
👏👏👏great videos
Thanks!
I greatly appreciate that George wow. Thank you so much!
Best time to go fishing is anytime you can. Works for me, I always catch something that puts a smile back on my face.
Can't disagree with you there, great advice for sure!
Watching this after trying to throw a lucky craft in 5-7 foot waves at 7-12 seconds. Absolute waste of a day and very frustrating. THANK YOU for this. Atleast I got 6 miles of walking in.
Hey Dane, thanks so much for the comment. In my opinion, that wasn't a waist of a day in that now you know the type of condition you want to avoid. I've certainly had many a session like that...nowadays I do my best to identify when it might be like that and avoid those days...or adjust what I'm throwing to match the conditions. LC's seem to be best in calmer conditions..at least for me.
I haven’t heard the term co-efficient variables since grad school - lol - I use Windy religiously when I fish and have paid subscription - but will give the other two are a try - thanks
Thank you for your insight on swells Benjie! I've seen some of the other resources that other YTer's use, and I'm thinking the double-digit intervals might correlate to wave strength, such as surf-forecast that PK uses. I will be out later this morning, and I"m seeing double-digit intervals and the surf forecast is showing wave energy ~200-600. LMK what you think! #TEAMCSA brotha!
As a new kayak fisherman, I look at wave energy to determine if I’ll be able to launch and return with reasonable safety. That number should also tell you how rough it’s hitting on the beach. Thanks for the video!
Awesome
62,390 unread emails! you beat me by far lol. Great tips, thanks
lol, this is after I deleted a bunch because my gmail was almost full. Thanks for the comment!
Hey Benjie! Nice info video. I have a hurt knee and haven't been able to fish much lately, it cant take any wading in waves at all so only getting a little bit of casting in on the super flat days. Probably some loose meniscus material that I may need minor surgery to clear out.
I have been flying a drone at the beach a lot and filming Great White Sharks very close to shore! Its crazy how many juvenile small white sharks are up here in my area. They are around 6-10 feet long and swim just behind the breaking waves all along the beach I go to a lot. According to the scientists they are hunting skates, rays, smaller leopard sharks, and maybe halibut. I'll send you some pics and a video when I get one edited and reduce the file size from the huge 4k to something uploadable.
Also filmed some Corbina hanging out in gutters right on the shore inside the breaking waves, tried to cast a lucky craft at them but they wanted nothing to do with it, needed to dig up some sand crabs but I was to lazy to scrounge up bait. I think I need tiny crab like soft plastics to catch them on lures, or wet flies that simulate sandcrabs like the fly fishermen use on them.
I do not fish the surf very often, so for me water temperature, tide changes, and the current flow are the things I look for most when catching bass, for halibut I look on the fish finder for structure, sand bottoms, or troughs. Night and early early morning are always for me the best times to catch fish, less traffic and boats. Wind is a big No Go for me, although fish do like the ripping currents. Tides and weather looking good for lobster this week. I'll text you to set something up.
You're dialed in brotha, sounds like perfect info to me!
Let me know Todd, always good to hang with you brotha!
Nice! Low tide is 1:15pm today. Gonna go hit the sand for some halibut, then hopefully get the mack bite at the pier around sunset. I've still never caught a halibut. Usually throw that fluke drop shot, but I'ma try that cherry berry lucky craft today.
haha dang I actually looked at my readings after seeing this comment....looked like a potentially good bite today. How'd you end up doing??
@@BenjieKimFishing No luck throwing baits at the surf. I'm still learning what to look for. But I got 6 striper at the pier. Just dinks, got em on that sabiki rig, but it was still a good time!
Which app shows the power of the surf? Thank you
“Fishing spots” is cool place to find new spots and people post their catches 💯and it has a map
Is this the same for kayak fishing?
I'm living in Portgual (Algarve westcoast) and although we have great surf, the surf is almost never below 1 meter (+-3 ft) and now in winter even rarely below 2 meter. Does that mean that it's just going to be much more difficult to lure fish in these shores? Or do you have any tips for switching types of lures. Still looking to catch my first good seabass on the lure here!
I don't know if Tide Charts renamed it's app. But that one I can't find. Thanks for the other two!
Hey Rob, I just did a search on my iPhone with "tides" and Tide Charts is showing up for me. I wonder if maybe it's not available on android? In any case, so sorry for any confusion!
@@BenjieKimFishing yeah seems like an iphone thing. The other two are on Android though. Thank you! That clears it up. 😁
hey Benjie - do you usually fish with your modified LC or do you usually use the unmodified one?
Hey there, I rarely use the modified lately as I'm mostly fishing really shallow structure most of the time. However, the modified LC can and will work in all conditions, just gotta adjust for how it swims to avoid excess snagging. I have friends that use it exclusively and do well, I typically save the modified for when I'm fishing deeper water columns.
BTW, I was in CA for nine months, from June 2021 to February 2022, and I didn't catch a single fish. NOT ONE. I fished 3 different days, tried different baits, and got nothing. I am 45 years old, been fishing since I could hold a pole, and I have never been skunked that bad. It rattled my confidence for sure. I came back home to NC in February of last year, and finally got to the beach last weekend to do some fishing and got a beautiful stingray and 2 whiting. I'm back in the game baby! I could only come to one clear and logical conclusion about being skunked while fishing in CA, and I couldn't believe how obvious the answer was: there are no fish in the Pacific Ocean. Obviously. I was fishing off the Pacifica Pier, and I plan to fish in the Pacific ocean again at some point, as it is a Bucket List item to catch a fish from the Pacific.
Oh man what a bummer on the skunks! Given your experience I'd just attribute it to bad luck more than anything else. If you come back and fish here one day, I have no doubt you'll get on em! Tight lines.
@@BenjieKimFishing Oh I will. I plan to do a lot of fishing in my retirement. Me and the wife have been planning on traveling and possibly purchasing some ocean front property here. Definitely not like the homes that are falling into the ocean on the outer banks, but pretty close. There is an island we go to every year for vacation, and we even discussed maybe getting a place on the sound side. I used to fish any and everywhere, but now I only fish at the beach. What is the most popular bait for fishing the coast in CA? I used salted shrimp, cut bait fish, and even some of that fake bait like "Gulp!"...
Ive skunked the last 7-8 times i fished in socal. Ive fished breakwalls piers and beaches. Ive picked popular fishing spots with no luck each time. Ive fished high tides low tides early morning at sunset with different types of baits. I havent even had an strong bites. This is very discouraging.
Ive been fishing since i was a kid in lakes, deep sea, bottom fishing, top fishing, and shore fishing on the east coast. Id say that cali surf fishing is the most difficult fishing ive ever done. Finding the troughs, cuts, and rip tides are one thing then being able to caste into the cuts with waves, surfers, and seaweed being obstacles makes it even more challenging.
Could you please do another video that "cuts to the chase" about how to use those apps? You lost me when you started talking about your misconceptions. Thanks.
Hi Benjie! How are you man? I really enjoyed this one. Great information brother. Also I don't know if I told you but I won a $3000.00 grant to get anew wheelchair called The GRIT wheelchair. This wheelchair they tell me can be taken accross sand believe it or not! So if this turns out to be true I'll be seeing you on the surf soon! I'll reach out after I get it and hopefully we can meet up and go catch some fish! Hope you're well man. Take care!
John
Fishlegal is a good app as well!
Oh for sure, that's a good one as well...definitely got that one on my phone too. Thank's for sharing that!
More boat videos plz🥺🤩
Thanks for your patience. I do have plans to be pretty aggressive with boat's this year...both my inflatable and long range charters. Those videos will happen!!
Yes can’t wait
New Scriber
Please don't fish in lightning, I don't know what I'd do without your videos if something bad happens haha
Lol, I've definitely done it in the past. But the longer I've fished the more wary I get of weird stuff happening.
fishangler app its all in one
