Even the older shows remind me of fishing up in Northern CA. Remember the half moon bay days, the ocean beach days, and mussel rock trips. Great stuff! I do miss the stripers down here in SoCal.
Fished here with my sons and daughter in law. 9/8/18. Total we caught 5 nice Perch and a 20 inch striper. Had bites most of the morning. Weather was great. Good times with my kids! Beach had quite a few guys fishing when we got there at 7:30. I was up northern CA above Eureka last week. Fished the beach at Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center for some huge Perch! Fished the Klamath for a smelly skunk. No Salmon. Love your videos! Keep it up. When I can’t get out I watch UA-cam fishing!
I’ve been going out to ocean beach in SF the last couple weekends.. I’m just learning how to fish the surf but I appreciate your videos I haven’t caught anything yet 😂 it’s hard to get out there often, I live in Vacaville so it’s a little drive. What beach would you recommend fishing from?
great video. im new to surf fishing. what is the area you are fishing in this video. I live inland of SF about 30 miles. im just learning how to surf perch fish. nothing but dinks so far, but looking for some better quality. any recommendations? ive been fishing just North of Bodega area. thanks!
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "fishing rod surf casting" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Wenayden Xenaylee Blaster - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.
Im Looking to get in to a Little surf fishing. I’m curios about your set up, rod length and stiffness, line test and type, spinning real size and rate of return. I like that your tossing lures with success. Soaking bait gets a bit boring. Great video and thanks for the info!
Looking to get into surf fishing with lures for perch and striper. Any tips for rods, reals, line, and lures but not to expensive because I am just a kid. Thanks.
You may have already, but if not, try using the Owner Single Replacement hooks. The eye is in-line with the hook and made for replacing trebbles on hard baits. Less damage to the fish I found. I believe a size 2 is the correct conversion for the hooks on a flash minnow 110, but they have a conversion table you will find if you search them. Tight lines!
Love the videos! How do you go about choosing a good beach to go fishing at? I recently just started fishing and have only done lakes, but wanna head out to this beach this summer. Some help with where I should head would be much appreciated
Honestly, any sandy beach will hold surfperch at some part of the year. I have found the best way to find them is to just get out there and walk the beach. Just watch out for those protected areas!
Yesterday was my first time on the surf. First tried with lures (20 gram) Wind knots every single throw, and every time i bait casted the line broke (in the middle, not the knots) while castimg.
@Rod Buster I just started fishing 4 mos ago n I'm hooked. Began W 5' pole then 7' but learning it takes longer. Not sure what size next. I've been relegated to pier n close to shore only W smaller rods.
New to surf fishing. Went out this week, but was getting hammered by the waves and every cast caught seaweed. Any recommendations on beaches? I was fishing near 26th
Anywhere with a sandy beach will hold surfperch. My best suggestion would be to stay mobile and keep moving if you aren't catching any fish. Usually most of the time is spent looking for the school.
I do't in the Bay area for 50 years. Did a lot of clipping along the surf up-and-down the coast. Some of those places look so familiar to me could you Let us know what reaches you were fishing at when you are in your kayak when you are fishing from surf and will you a fishing in the rocks. More curious than anything since I live in Washington State now I won't be intruding on your Flipping grounds. When you are putting in your kayak it looked like out of Bodega Bay. Was it?
Awesome Vlog and thanks for the tip on the Lucky Craft! I just got my LC today and was wondering if you could tell me what knot you use to attach it to your leader? Any recommendations? Would hate to lose 20 bucks on my first cast with it lol
Where do you put the fish you caught? Are they just laying in the sand by your bag, or do you throw them into a cooler with ice? Do you have to kill them right away? How long will they stay fresh if you bonk them and continue fishing?
I usually have a fish bag to put them in. If I am going to have a longer day on the beach I will bring some ice. Yes, I kill them immediately. Without ice, they are usually good for a couple hours as long as they are kept in a cool place. One thing that you can do is bury the fish in the sand, that keeps it a little cooler than the ambient air temp.
I’ve never fished for surfperch before, but l’ve been wanting to give it a try. If you don’t mind, may l ask you what time or month of the year is best to fish?
When is the best tide, high or low .? Looks like a Rapala lure I have in my box. I'm new to the ocean fishing and I have been catching alot of really small surf perch no bigger than my hand. Your video came up at the right time. Thanks man...! Your slayin' it...
I am a 71 year old rookie. I enjoy your videos. My question is: when surf fishing I notice you cast from the sand. Why would you not go at least knee deep in the surf to cast? It seems like you would be able to cast out into much deeper water? Thank you.
Depending on how rough the surf is, I will wade out if it is safe. However, often times I can cast almost as far from the sand because I don't need to worry about getting blasted by an incoming wave.
Cool video Adam. Whats you dad up to these days? Been watching these You tubes with Everet and yourself and learning soem new tricks even after all these years fishing here. Take care Sea cliff Greg.
Hey Greg!!! Been a long time since I've fished with you. My dad is still getting out on the beaches on the weekends. If you see a guy fishing with a big lab/pit bull mix, it's probably him! Any fishing for you these days???
@@DieHardFishing Glad to hear you dad is doing well and your tubes are excellent. That big striper you got off the rocks was epic and about as good as it gets. Halibut fishing for us has been exceptional the last couple years and were still getting stripers however most are Salinas or Pajaro river fish under 10 lbs. 2018, released a 35 lb class black sea bass and also got white Seabass to 27 lbs off the beach at New Brighton. 2019 was Everet's hot year with that MTF tournament win for a cool $1000.00 bucks and I recall netting 27 and 29 inch halibut for him off the pier mid day on a low tide no less LOL!! Simply on fire. Keep making the You tubes you guys deserve some sponsorship to promote these newer lures from Lucky craft and Daiwa
Oh and the best way to catch more fish is to release them all back to grow bigger and make more fish! Striper fishery definitely needs all the help it can get.
I have used the lucky craft several times and have not caught anything. Maybe I am doing something wrong on the retrieve. People rave about this lure. It seems like it skids along the bottom all the time even if I reel slow. How fast should you retrieve it? I changed out the hooks like you suggested. Love your videos by the way,
I reel it just fast enough to feel the action of the lure. It definitely isn't a numbers game with this lure, more about quality. Good luck and hope you get one soon!
I would guess you tweaked the bill to make it run deeper, or more shallow, or side to side. OR, you bent out the barb/barbs on the trebble; I have seen that triple my hook up ratio. Maybe all knew hooks.
I love your videos. Enjoy watching you catch everything. But would appreciate it if you could name a few of the beaches you fish at in and near the Bay Area. You never say where your at? Please help.
Are there any chance that I can go fish with you? I live only 5 to 10 mins from ocean beach. Please let me know when will you go? So I can learn surf fishing from you
probably not because some spots are meant to be kept secret. i had a secret spot that i took my friend and he took his friend and next thing, everyone is fishing that spot.

Thanks for watching! Some monster perch up north from what I hear. I would love to fish it sometime!
I fish the delta mostly chasing stripers and those fish will definitely straighten out your hooks. Strong split rings and hooks are a must.
Amen!

They make them in 3x strong too
Loved the video. Explained the fish, lure, and casting tips. Good video with no waited material👌👌👌 fish on man
Thanks for watching!
Nice video! I know this beach. Grew up a few blocks away.
Hi! What this place name ? Thanks

Wind knots every single throw, and every time i bait casted the line broke (in the middle, not the knots) while castimg.
When you said "tip" I was hoping it would be the location. Lol good catching as usual!
Thanks for watching!
@@DieHardFishing did you use any weight? Or the lure casts far enough?
@Rod Buster thanks for sharing 👍
@Rod Buster I just started fishing 4 mos ago n I'm hooked. Began W 5' pole then 7' but learning it takes longer. Not sure what size next. I've been relegated to pier n close to shore only W smaller rods.
Location: OCEAN. try it for yourself
You make it look way too easy sometimes and I'm a little jealous lol. Really cool video.
Thanks for watching!
which one do you use i couldn’t really hear. is it the 110(714 metallic sardine)?
New to surf fishing. Went out this week, but was getting hammered by the waves and every cast caught seaweed. Any recommendations on beaches? I was fishing near 26th

Where are you fishing at Northern Cal or Southern Cal?
I’ve never fished for surfperch before, but l’ve been wanting to give it a try. If you don’t mind, may l ask you what time or month of the year is best to fish?
Winter is generally a better time for surfperch but they can be caught year round!
I’m going surf fish for the 1st time ever, found your video and you making it seem so easy lol. What kind of lure was that?
I would’ve been way more pumped about the striped bass lol. I guess you’ve caught so many it’s prob nbd for you haha.
Adam is a with out a doubt, a pro!
Glad to see the trebles held up!
Thanks for watching!
Hey, where did you go for Surf fishing. I am located in South Ca (Huntington )
sea bright ? gonna try my luck tomorrow what pound line ?
Thanks for the video, got my first surf perch on Saturday off that same lure, not as fat as yours though. Going out again in a few weeks.
Congrats! Thanks for watching!
If only the fishing was as good down in SoCal. Epic fishing day dude
You have the bigger species though!!! I would kill to have yellowtail up here!
dude we have corbina in LA
eric cruz try San Elijo if u live around there with sand crabs I always catch something(usually corbina)
Chaz Ajieré corbina dont bite as much as perch
Halibut-bass-and barracuda off the rocks as well as sting rays-sharks
I fished this beach for the first time this morning! Tried running same lure too - no luck but I'm sure if I keep watching I'll figure it out!
Stick with it! You will get them!
Great video.. What pound test are you using?
I was using 30 pound braid mainline and 20 pound test mono leader.
When is the best tide, high or low .? Looks like a Rapala lure I have in my box. I'm new to the ocean fishing and I have been catching alot of really small surf perch no bigger than my hand. Your video came up at the right time. Thanks man...! Your slayin' it...
two hrs before high tide always best
Were you fishing incoming or out going tide?
wow! very talented!
Thank you for the video and tips!
Thanks for watching!
awesome.
you tie your lure directly to your main line?
do you ever use a tactical anglers clip or will it affect the lure action?
marine6 My question too! Do you use a fluorocarbon leader? How long if so?
I have about 3 foot mono leader off the braid. I will do a better job explaining this next time.
Yeah the quick clips definitely effect the action
What type line, mono or braid and what lb test? Is that a Pointer Lucky Craft? Thanks for your great vids!
Flashminnow 110 suspended is the lure. Most people use 15lb or heavier line.
Kevin Nguyen Thank you!
The lure is linked in the video description. I was using 30 pound braid and 20 pound mono leader.
Did you fish in a low tide or high tide? And how long is the diatance that you casted? Was it behind the first wave ?
It was a high tide and I cast it as far as I can.
@@DieHardFishing thx !
Hi- is there a size requirement for perch? # of fish per fisherman? Thanks!
is this fishing video from california?
sick man like the content im hopefully going to making some striper videos soon the weather is getting good.
Men this guy should have 100k subscribers by nextmonth..
Well if everyone shared this video with 10 friends we would be getting close!!!!
Where is this?
Nice fish! Surprised stripers are still around.
They are out there!
You've been killing them from the shore. 💪💪
Thanks! Always nice when the conditions line up.
Actually from suffocation by the looks of it.
I love watching u fishing brother but can u tell us the location on all ur fishing spots I like to become a fishing man like u. Thx
Funny, we fish the same areas and have never crossed paths with you. Hope to some day.. Happy Fishing! Mark Idemoto
Yeah! Hope to see you out there someday!
Good video! What beach is that if you don't mind my asking?
Thanks for watching! I don't give out exact locations but it is in the Bay Area.
Nice real nice.... I tried fishing the surf twice and got skunked both times.
Nice haul for a day! Are you still fishing SF peninsula waters or have you moved down toward Monterey?
Thanks for watching!
Nice video what beach is that
What’s the size limit for surf perch in ca?
What size minnow and is it a sinking or floating.
110 floating
Looks like the hooks aren't available with Amazon. Do you have an alternative?
I like owner hooks as well. I would look for the same style and size with the owner brand.
@@DieHardFishing Thanks man you rock!
When are you going to be fishing for Haddick again??
Lingcod? Very soon!!!!
is that
seabright beach

Killer video I’m going out there this weekend hopefully I can get on some

Can’t find them like that in SD :( good stuff dude!

What series LC is that?
where did you catch them
What size rod you using for that luck craft
10 foot Shimano Convergence. It is linked in the description.

I agree. I haven't had much luck. How do u cast it further?
Love your channel man
nice surf perch!
Thanks!!!!
What general area in California are you? Northern cali?
Yep, norcal.
where is this spot at
Whats the furthest south u can catch striper?? Im from santa barbara
I believe they get to your area. They are much less common though
Nice haul there, what other patterns of LC lures have you tried?
I haven't tried any other colors but I hope to soon!
No size restrictions on these perch correct?
None except redtail perch. Those need to be 10.5 in order to keep
yep!
Keep up the good vid and keep on fishing
Thanks for watching!
What weight is your rod?
I believe it is a medium action.
what model lucky craft minnow is this please?
Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 100 (metallic sardine color)
Thank you . when is the best time of the year to catch Stripers off the shore in Malibu ?
I would guess you tweaked the bill to make it run deeper, or more shallow, or side to side. OR, you bent out the barb/barbs on the trebble; I have seen that triple my hook up ratio. Maybe all knew hooks.
Might have to try this out!
Where did I catch ?
Here in Bay Area, it would be super cool if you ID your location you aren't fishing from each day. Unless that's a secret. Great Work!
How far does it let u cast. I feel like it’s tough to cast out.
Yeah casting is the hardest part. It helps to use braided line as that will allow for farther casting.
I love your videos. Enjoy watching you catch everything. But would appreciate it if you could name a few of the beaches you fish at in and near the Bay Area. You never say where your at? Please help.
dam I might have to give the lucky craft a try!
Give it a shot!
what color lucky craft are you using?
Metallic Sardine.
What type of braid to mono knot do you use?
I connect them with a small barrel swivel to help prevent line twists
@@DieHardFishing thank you.
Heck yeah, PERCH ON!!! Delicious 😋
Looked fun man! And those perch were fatties!
Thanks, would be a nice snack for your last lingcod! lol
Are there any chance that I can go fish with you? I live only 5 to 10 mins from ocean beach. Please let me know when will you go? So I can learn surf fishing from you
probably not because some spots are meant to be kept secret. i had a secret spot that i took my friend and he took his friend and next thing, everyone is fishing that spot.
Someday I hope to hold a meet up. When I do, it will be advertised on the channel!
Great fishing... Keep it up love the video
Thanks for watching!
I'm getting back into fishing have moved to SoCal 2 years ago. I appreciate all the tips....
