Man... Great job! I skunked at big Sur using plastics. so I ended up in Pacific Grove buying squid and casting some high-low rigs. Got me a fatty gopher rockfish for dinner and two little grass rockfish (CNR)
Hey bro new subscriber here love the videos I have a buddy coming from out of town who wanted to go for some rock fish off the cliffs wondering if it’s ok to give me the location if not that’s cool keep up with the dope videos 💯
Here's a great fishing spot but you have to have some nerve to get there as you have to make your way down a very steep cliff in the neighborhood of 800 feet. Warning to the wise, there is serious danger if you are not careful, but this spot will not disappoint you. You will know this is a great spot because you will hear the sea lions below barking to all their friends that, "This is the place." Travel down Highway one south of Big Sur to the Coast Gallery then turn around and go to the first embankment north of there. You will see a seriously steep cliff. (If it is the same as it was 36 years ago when I fished this spot you will also see what appears to be a path that goes about 100 feet and then ends. Now (VERY CAREFULLY) make your way down that sea cliff. If you go too far south you will come up against an extremely steep vertical cliff that you might meet your demise on so just head straight down slightly north. You will soon be going down a loose shale slope and that last for a good spell. You're almost there after that patch which goes a long way down the hill. (Note that this is a serious challenge on the way back up the hill as this amounts to 3 steps up to make 1 step of progress after you slide down.) The perfect spot to fish is a rock that sits about 35 or 40 feet off the water where you can cast out from. The best time to go is in the early morning as the winds will be calm. So go early as the winds will put a damper on this unbelievably great spot. When my brother and I fished the spot with a few friends we cleaned house using squid for bait. The fishing is so good you can use a party boat rig with 3 hooks and reel in three fish at a time on a consistent basis. I have never seen this kind of fishing from the shore. Anywhere! We also never saw the remains of anyone else's gear down there. One of the guys left a pole down there on a regular basis and it never disappeared on him! So you know this spot is remote and hard to get to. The group of us usually limited within an hour. Back then it was 20 fish total per person. We made the mistake the first time around of lugging all that fish up the hill. The second time we brought fillet knives with us and left the remains for the seagulls. Now I believe the limit is 10. You should easily limit within an hour. As fast as you can put it out there we reeled it back in. There are tons of all varieties of cods, lings, caps, dolly varden's, sharks, flounders and about anything else you can imagine. My brother ended up putting climbing gear hooks into the rocks to make it safer to climb as it is a bit of a risk to get down there and back. It may or may not be there now. That gear is a good 30 years old minimum so you might want to replace it. A downside of that hill is that there is a lot of poison oak so you might want to use a poison oak wash before and after you go down to avoid the itch. When I lived in California it was the best spot. The reason we found it was because there was a rock slide on highway 1 preventing us from going any further south where our initial choice was to fish. Needless to say that spot was a regular for the group of us. It's also full of great memories. Unrelated to 'The Hill', a couple of those friends passed away along with my best friend on this earth, my brother. Here's to you Jay. Love you bro. Be careful but enjoy that fishing spot that's the best I know on this planet. Crack open a beer afterwords during the fish fry and raise a toast to Jay!
@@BayAreaWaters It's close to Grimes Point. I looked at Google Maps. It's about a half mile south of there. There are 2 embankments to park at. I think it is at the second one north of Coast Big Sur, which is now called Seal Beach Overlook. (You can hear the seals barking from there because it's such a great feeding spot.) Looks like the Coast Gallery is now called Coast Big Sur. Use Google maps for Seal Beach Overlook and Coast Big Sur for reference. Make sure you take your time going down that hill as it's a little hairy. I advise taking a fishing buddy down there in case you tweak an ankle. You'll love the spot. Go early before the winds pick up. I used a lead weight at the bottom and party boat fishing rigs with 3 hooks with squid as bait. It's very common in this spot to real in 3 fish at a time as fast as you can put your line out. Unbelievable fishing. Someday I hope to go down that hill again. One other note. I looked at a topographical map and it appears the cliff is not 800 feet. It is noted as 200 meters which translates to 650 feet. That said it does not make it less hairy. Enjoy.
The hole if you don't get any bites in a min there's nothing there is way way wrong in my opinion here in Humboldt County off the jetty I have been fishing for a long time and Id say over 50 percent of the fish I catch have been from leaving it in the same spot for 15 to 20 min and most of my an my friends biggest cabs an lings where cought after the line was sitting in one spot for I say 5 to 7 mins 36 inch ling off Trinidad pier pics an friends to back story

Wow thanks for sharing! Would that spot be Grimes Point by any chance? Because I looked it up on maps and it looks very promising.
