The best fishing I could ever be part of. I hope to get out soon but the weather has gone bad and it's over till spring. Hello to everyone that is part of this Freedom . I miss those days alot,,
The trick is paying very close attention to what the captain says and watching exactly what other people who are catching fish setups. In the first 10-15 minutes your setup isn't catching fish, then change something, that is smaller hooks (#2,#4) or lighter line. Fluorocarbon leader is a must, start at 30#, but be quick to tie 25# or even 20# to the end of it and give it a go if you don't get bit with 30#.
All of these tips plus you have to cast your bait, how far? As far as you can get it out the better so you’re not in the same zone as 90% of the rest of the boat.
I have been fishing the Freedom for years back when Capt. Mike F. and Mark, woody and Augie. It's a great boat still. Tino has taken fishing to new levels. The crew is on top of getting the fish on the boat. Fishing big mackerel for yellows and hanging ling cod when it gets cold. San nicholas is. Or S.B.I. IT WAS
Try throwing a yo yo jig around next time if you're in that area for yellows. I went 3 for 5 on the yellowtail the last time I was on that boat. The Tady A2 or kicker heavy 15 jigs were all working for me in various colors... mint(especially), scrambled egg, and blue and pink.
@@WETTHATLINE I had two yellows eat a scrambled egg Salas 6x jr on that boat a few weeks ago. The key was getting the jig in the water right when we pulled up to a school of fish. Both bites were in the first three casts on a spot. After that, the fish would get boat shy and you needed to long soak a bait to get bit.
Try to handle your bait more carefully, if your hand is covered in scales after you get it on the hook it means you were squeezing the bait too hard and you're less likely to get bit. Awesome video dude keep it up!
Oh man i haven't been sport fishing at this landing in over 11 years. Coming tomorrow just haven't decided between here or pierpoint landing yet. New sub you got yourself.
Thank you brother! Welcome back! LOL The Pride out of 22nd Landing has been catching some good halibut and last year was killing it with WSB. If you go out with Mike and Shon you got to let them know I sent you
@@WETTHATLINE Thanks man it just sucks since all my salt gear is at home and i'm stuck with 5 fresh water combos, that im probably just going to drop at my gf's house and just buy some new gear to go down there. Probably gonna try both landings since i have fond memories of both. San pedro for the being able to have the restaurants cook the fish right on the spot. Pierpoint because of the captain's. I use to ride on the fat matt back in the day i think they retired that boat out of 22nd. Stay tuned for my utube video.
I was Catalina fishing on Sunday so maybe the same day but different boat (Long beach) 30 fishermen on board and no one no yellowtail no bonito, nothing. Now I know if you can get fish or not depend on Captains.
@@WETTHATLINE One day from Long beach My Captain decided to fish other side of Catalina so we left the dock at 7am and the first spot we got at 11:30....
Oh shit this is the clip you showed me haha , so Freedom is the recommended charter over at 22nd? I use to go spot fishing there a lot and always seen it there!
Yes but only certain boats will run into them. The best way to go is looking up the fish counts for the boats you're interested in. Catalina and San clemente should be the best areas that are close and not as expensive as other trips
I was looking at the pursuit out of San Pedro but it looks like only their overnight boat, the one you are on in this video targets them based on fish counts? Idk it’s so expensive to do an overnight trip i really don’t know what to do
@@primoangler3852 is not the cheapest boat but the freedom out of 22nd street landing in San Pedro is awesome. I'd do a 1.5 day. The last trip it had was a 3/4 day and this was the fish count: 1 Halibut, 2 Sheephead, 41 Yellowtail, 1 Calico Bass, 107 Whitefish, 141 Rockfish, 5 White Seabass. I mean that's awesome fishing right there and it's a huge boat with lots of room. You will want small hooks and 20/25lb fluorocarbon. Fly line sardines is probably the best bet
The boats don't Target fish based off fish counts. Fish counts are just the recorded catches that the boat caught on the last trip. I agree they are expensive and I will look for a boat that is doing well with Yellowtail that you wouldn't have to sleep on the boat. I'll message you again on here with what I find
@@WETTHATLINE I was on there Friday and I'll be back on Thursday.... pretty much once a week. Caught 2 bluefin Friday. Let's see what I do in a couple days?
@@butttalker1 nice man that's a perfect amount of trips. The tuna e caught a couple days ago were 10 to 20s but we got 40+. That episode will be out next Sunday

Probably my all time fav boat to fish from! Very roomy deck!
Right?! And the high ceilings with the bunks
@@WETTHATLINE yes sir! By far the most fishable/comfortable overnight boat in so cal! Including the sd boats! Capt tino is amazing too

Ima just start with #20 fluo #2hook for yellow like this.
It was nice to be with you on a fun fishing trip. Your video art. thanks.!!
Thank you! It was an awesome trip
You kill it every time!
Great fishing, ready for springtime. Ready to Wet That Line.
Hell yeah brother! I've been dying to get back out for some Biggins
Beautiful!
Thank you!

Heck yeah I tried scrambled eggs for a bit, next time I'm definitely going to try yo-yo Jigs and more Tadys

@@alexnieves4876 good points. Ya I need to expand my smaller lure collection
Capt. Tino & crew make that a fishy fishy boat. I like when Capt Tino yell because I know I am learning somethin!!
Awesome 👍😎
Thank you!
Beautiful day on the water along with some good fishing thanks for sharing bro👍
Hell ya thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed brotha!
Absolutely brother
nice fishing
Thank you
you're welcome🙂

You're absolutely right I have to hold those suckers tight they're constantly jumping out of my hand LOL
And thank you btw
@@WETTHATLINE Hahaha
@@WETTHATLINE For sure
@@WETTHATLINE little trick I like using is pinching the dines head lightly and it calms down and then I hook it and sling it out

Going out on September 5th I can't fucking wait. Tight lines everyone!
Hell yeah brotha good luck out there!
Farmed 'em
Good video, pretty hilarious that you called a bonita a shark and then a bluefin 😂😂 none of them look similar at all. Tight lines.
🤣right! Every time it turned, it turned into a new species!

Dang! That's not good. How long was the trip?
@@WETTHATLINE One day from Long beach

@@shoeik5276 ya that's harsh
Also depends on conditions & locations. The fishing at cat island’s been slow & real finicky takes lighter line and small hooks to get bit
Did I heard 25lbs mono? Bro use fluro 25-30lbs good luck🤙
1000%
Oh shit this is the clip you showed me haha , so Freedom is the recommended charter over at 22nd? I use to go spot fishing there a lot and always seen it there!
There's some good boats there. It's the biggest one. My friends own The Pride at 22nd Landing and they were killing it with white sea bass last year
Did you catch any fish?
Just one
@@WETTHATLINE that's better than skunked!
If you allow me to comment : I noticed that you set the hook too quickly. Try to count to 5 next time . Good luck
Good eye! Someone told me that on the boat too 😅 I do get excited lol
Are there any yellowtail in April?
Yes but only certain boats will run into them. The best way to go is looking up the fish counts for the boats you're interested in. Catalina and San clemente should be the best areas that are close and not as expensive as other trips
@@WETTHATLINE thank you bro, any recommendations I’m desperate to catch my first yellowtail

@wetthatline
Where did we meet again?
Long beach it was me and my brother corey
Sent you a message on ig
I love the freedom
I have to agree with you it's such a large boat and high ceilings by the bunks. Definitely one of my favorites

@@butttalker1 Thank you!
We’re you putting a fluorocarbon leader??
Exactly the problem. I just got back from another trip and caught tuna plus more just because of the fluorocarbon. NEVER GO CHEAP lol
