Here's another quick video about how I setup my rig for surf fishing. For my gear setup, I use a 10' salmon rod and a Shimano Stradic ci4+ spinning reel. I use 20# braid fishing line. For bait, 2" gulp sandworms work best for surf fishing on the Oregon coast.

![How to Carolina Rig for Surf Fishing [BEGINNER Tutorial Part 1 of 2]](/img/n.gif)
PK, I wish there are more people like you today... Thank you for sharing with all of us your knowledge and your "infectious" enthusiasm!
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
I went out surf perch fishing for the first time yesterday at Winchester bay and I had luck with just casting out far past the waves letting the bait sit on bottom and I just set my rod on a holder in the sand. It was easier for me to tell if the fish was biting. I caught 5 I just fished for 1 hour. Thanks for showing the rig set up. Great video.
were you fishing off jetty? thanks.Eric
@@ericsprado4631 I was fishing on the beach left of the Jetty.
Thank you so much for your videos! My boyfriend and I study them since we moved up the coast from you to Ocean Shores, WA. We caught some beautiful red tails today. Thank you! Thank you! Keep them coming!
I was turned on to the same worms at a local bait shop as soon as I crossed into the southern border of Oregon. WOW what a miracle day I had of fishing. It was early July and I was surf fishing in Reedsport area near a jetty I believe. It was literally every single cast I landed a red tail!
Thanks for the educational, unselfish videos. I wish there were more sportsmen like yourself. See you on the beach. (I'm in NW Oregon)
Hey Marlin have you made it out to try this type of fishing? I live in St Helen’s OR and very close to Seaside. Definitely want to try this but unsure where to go.
Been surf fishing for about 55 years, but your vids have re-inspired my surf fishing inner drive. I can remember tripple doubles with my buddy. I'm back in the game, THANK YOU PK! Last weekend at Seaside didn't yield any perch, but I did manage a limit of Razors and a 6" Dungy. Hope to rip some lips soon.
Nice! Glad you're back in the game. Tight lines!
PK have you tried the Lucky Craft super glow sardines in Oregon
Going surf fishing for fist time next weekend, I know this video is old just wanted to say thanks for the advice keep up the good work. I appreciate you!
I’m glad I took your advice and bought the Tourney Trail iM8 months ago while they were still available. It’s and excellent rod for the money. The only change I made was to drill out the butt end of the rod and add three 1/2oz weights to better balance the rod.
Hey PK nice tip about the strap around the waders never knew what that was for until now! Just bought some waders lately and used them about 3 times but I will use the strap!
Never seen a triple on surfperch. That’s insane, I might have to try to one up that one down here in Cali with our no hook limit
I thought limit was 2 hooks in California ???
@@lucabrasi8702 2 hooks for ground fish (rockfish lingcod cabezon etc) but for almost every other species there is no limit.
Hey there, brother. One angler to another, you really should try and get a fishing show. I love your excitement, knowledge, and your commentary is excellent.
Hey PK, I just wanted to thank you for putting out these awesome videos on fishing for surf perch in Oregon, and for answering a bunch of my questions in the comments. So, following your recommendations, I am (almost) completely set up with two rods and reels, and learned how to rig Hi/Lo and Carolina. Plus I got a couple of rooster tails, and a Lucky Craft minnow. I live at the beach in northern Oregon, and have gone out about 10 times and had an absolute blast, even though I'm still kind of debugging the process. But learning at such a fast pace is great fun. So is catching fish! Anyway, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I sincerely appreciate your help. Oh, also, my 86 year old mom has been enjoying your videos. Cheers.
That's awesome to hear! You can also try regular raw shrimp from the grocery store (size 71/90) and put a half on a carolina rig - remove the shells first. Works really well too. Tight lines.
@@oregonlife, damn, those little buggers have expensive taste. Would they like champagne with that too ;-)
@@oregonlife, could you please recommend a rig or two for fishing off of rocks in northern Oregon for rock fish, lingcod, and other groundfish. EDIT: Ah, I see you have some videos on lingcod, so I'll watch those and see what you're using.
Pk
I’m heading to Gearhart this Saturday. Not the best weather but still going to give it a shot. Never tried any surf fishing before but your videos have got me super excited to try
Taking my son and son-in-law
Hi George. Wow.. Saturday's swell has energy well over 4000, close to 5000 (7-10 foot swells). I consider 1000 energy to be my limit, and that's pretty dangerous enough already. Please, please be careful out there. Big storm all along the coast throughout the weekend. Stay safe, and stay good luck.
First time red tail perch fishing today - Westport WA. Used a 9 foot IM6 Cabela's Pro Guide MH with 12 pound mono. Surf was pretty choppy but managed to catch 5 fish - exact set up as PK. Fun times!
What a nice gift from the fishing gods! This might spoil you for your next trip. I'm heading over to the coast this coming week. Hoping for some of the same
Good video! I tried perch fishing for my first time yesterday for my birthday. I didn’t catch anything but I did save a guys truck before high tide took it. I was to tired to fish after that.
Fish on! Holy cow! Great video again. Catching big red tail surf perch often doubles. Catches a triple!! He must have hit a school of bruiser perch. Oh my lord, fish on, holy cow!! Great commentary! Keep up the great work. I real love his conservation ethic. Only keep what you can use, leave them for future generations. In another video he showed how he bleeds the fish and kills them. I used to bonk my bottom fish on the head to stun them and then cut the gills to bleed them out to get blood out of the gills. Thanks
great enthusiasm, great video. Very clear directions about hook size, weight, reel, rod etc. Thanks a bunch man, I wish you continued fishing prosperity
Thank you for watching. Stay safe and tight lines.
I had a rod with smaller guides and it casted farther than others because the line wouldn't bow as much while casting. This beach is crazy wish I knew where it was.
1st cast 1 fish, 2nd cast 2 fish, 3rd cast 3 fish. What a number. Nice!
Good LORD!!!! That is the biggest perch I have ever seen.
Its a great day when you hit a school. Never had a triple, that was great to see. Man....I am bummed they discontinued that rod. I have been checking their website for the past month.
Hey PK, where were you, Newport area? I fished in Gearhart on Sunday. Camo Gulf Worms on a crappie rig. In coming tide. Only caught one small red tail. Still trying to figure things out.
the ocean was pretty mean that day my friends lol like an old man trying to return soup at a deli
This guys good. I've only had one day fishin like that in my life. Im buyin that bait✊🏽
Me and my dog fished Oregon coast a few years back ....were headn back this year...if the Covid19 don't get worse!! Be safe Fisher's!!!!!!
Great video, that was a lot of fun to watch. I live in Oregon (Eugene) and have never fished the surf yet. I absolutely need to do that. Most of my fishing has been over the mountains in central Oregon or in the high lakes of the Cascades. That surf fishing looks so interesting to me, I am going to do it for sure. Thanks so much for your great videos. They are so informative and entertaining. Have a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Tight lines.
Did you ever ocean fish?
The fish gods must be happy with you. Good job from Alamogordo, NM !!!!!!
Great video as usual PK, I hope you and your family had a great Christmas and I look forward to heading out with you here soon in the future I wish you and your family a fantastic New Year.
nice catches master can i know how many hours to get the worms dry
Holy snap what an epic day! Glad you got your mojo back PK!!
Thanks, can't wait to make another run.
In MA 2 hooks is max, except for ice fishing, which 5 is max, a treble counts as one, a lure, jig or device with multiple trebles is 1 hook. I wish the state would allow for 3 hooks so I could set 2 poles out for bottom fishing while casting a 3rd.
I would love to go fish from the beach like that but not sure where the fishing spot are any suggestions ?
Tillamook
I lived in Brookings and some people think the fishing is better near a fresh water source. I used to fish in Northern Cal at the mouth of the Smith River. You can drive up the beach or I would paddle across from Ship Ashore. I’d you get there and there is a sea lion in the water watching you, just go home. They will follow you up and down the beach scaring the fish away. I use the same Gulp bait as this guy. The meat is a little mushy but it’s better if you never let the fish meat touch fresh water. Clean the fish in salt water. I only use the meat for tacos.
Pk that is really awesome you are catching three at a time. sure hope one of these days we can go fishing together with some friends.
Hi PK, love your video but can only give it a like. LOL. You are definitely the surf perch whisperer!
Loved this video. Cant wait to hit the beach!
U dah man! Love the upbeat attitude brah! Fish on my bro! Very informative video! 🎣 👍
Likewise PK, Merry Christmas to you and yours also.
can you catch any ocean fish with live worms in onw from bank? awesome vid
Merry Christmas! Those Red Tail put up a good fight.
In watching anglers trying to catch stripers, they inadvertently catch huge barred and redtail surf perch using lures! By downsizing a bit, you could probably catch large surf perch. You'll catch more with sand worms or sand crabs, butif larger ones are your target, try bass lures!
Nice fishing and thanks for excellent tutorials and advices you are good fisherman I liked your videos good job 👍🏻
Hey Pk, do you know when you'll have another redtail tournament?
Looks like florence!?
When fishing does it matter if you fish river inlet side or ocean? Difference in fish species?
I have fished off florence north jetty a few times and only one small perch!??
Great video, where you at in this video? Thank you for sharing your knowledgeable techniqe.
Great instructional video. One question though, how do you sex the redtail surf perch? What are you looking at?
video I made here: ua-cam.com/video/n0-6JRzNi8c/v-deo.html
nice
what beach you fish
happy holidays
why don’t you keep any of the fish ever
Hey! Very nice! I'm recently in Oregon, I don't know where this place is. What kind of beach is it? Thanks a lot!
Hey PK, what’s your opinion on fishing the afternoon low tide. I thought I’d try 2 hours before low tide and at about 1 1/2 hours before low tide I started getting one or two every cast and they were all very nice size. I’ve been watching and following you for some time now. You’ve gotten my wife and I hooked and it’s been a blast. By the way, we stay at seaside a lot and fish from Gearhart north to the wreak. Today’s fishing at low tide was just about three hundred yards north of the sunset beach approach. Have a great day and I hope for your thoughts on this. Maybe one day we’ll run into each other on the beach... Blessings, Mark and Whitney
Hi, Mark. It should be good. The general "rule" is 2 hours before high tide to 2 hours after high tide is best, but of course, people have caught fish outside of that time period. Time of day doesn't matter either as they are always feeding. More importantly, look for troughs, rip currents, or where you see waves stacking near shore. And move around a lot too if one spot doesn't produce.
Hope to see you on the water. Tight lines.
Awesome video PK, thanks for sharing
Got excited for you man ! Way to go .
Are seals a good or bad sign. I am in neskowin till Thursday. No luck today. Kinda rough. Fishing all next week any hot spots around here. Thanks for the tips merry Christmas
Yup, they make good target practice as I try to knock 'em with my sinker. But usually, they are there where the school of perch are. If I see them, that's where I'm casting.
PK do you eat these surf perch? Looks like it’s cool fishing experience. I’d definitely like to try it one day. Thank you for a great video
Great advice, going to put this to use in Ocean Shores,WA
PK, did you use if not can you try the Calissa lure in oregon water?
Okuma has a nice surf rod. The name is Rockaway. I just bought it for my brother for Christmas. It's light like the tourney trail but the eyelets are bigger.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Okuma are shitty rod . It said lure weight 1 to 5 once, i cast 3 oz. and it broke 2times. The wall of the rod are not consistent thin on the other side thin on the other.
OK that was a Big Girl!!!. Happy Holidays to you and yours!!!
Another awesome video.. Always a pleasure to watch..Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
Thank you, you too.
love to hear your enthusiasm.
You make it look so easy. Is there a good place for my wife and i to try as first timers?
Gold Beach, near Kissing Rock. Bullards Beach in Bandon, and Seal Rock. Good luck.
Hello! I was wondering if you can recommend or anyone recommend a beach near Waldport, easy to walk to for Perch fishing? My boyfriend is having hip surgery soon, but for now hard to walk a long way. ☺️
How many hooks you guys use in Oregon. In Ca. one can use only 2.
PK, could you please recommend a good app/website for ocean weather? I'm wanting wave height, wind conditions, etc. And thank you so much for your informational videos -- keep up the good work!
the main one I use is magicseaweed.com. It has swell forecasts for up to a week ahead. A few more I use: swellinfo.com, solspot.com. For wind, I use weather.com and (sometimes) windfinder.com. windfinder for some odd reason tends to be a little high for their forecasts. I compare it to weather.com and it's usually much higher than the weather channel. a little odd ....... but I usually go with weather.com for wind prediction 9/10 times. Good luck.
Thank you for your prompt reply!
Great fishing day for you. What hooks size are you using sir?
#2 baitholder hooks
Hi PK, I’m heading down to Astoria thus weekend and just wanted to know if redtails are biting at this time of the year. Wanted to do some fishing at Gearhart. Thanks🤙🏼
Yup. They can be caught year round.
Hey pk do you have any places you would recomend to fish on the oregon coast? . ( I dont really mind what I go for . i like to catch all fish . I already know about the barview jetty an the newport jetty an such I was just looking for new spots that arnt a wast of time
Absolutely amazing.
PK, how about a video how to catch surfperch from the boat in the bays? I looked around and there are practically no videos about it. I also went a while back to Winchester bay and caught no surfperch, but people catch red tail and shiners in the bay all the time...
I had that in mind for a while now. I hope to this year once they go in to spawn in the spring/summer.
PK Yi I've heard many times from people that surfperch go to bays to spawn, but I doubt it. I might be wrong on that point, and I searched online for evidence of this... What I know is that surfperch do not congregate in the summer, when they are pregnant, around rivers. They are abundant everywhere, in California oftentimes hundreds of miles from any river, pregnant or not, and they often live in the bays without leaving them. They are always present in SF Bay, regardless of the season. I know that because I fished in there a lot.
I've seen people with surfperch in the boats in Winchester bay in the winter. I think they are everywhere and go to bays and maybe stay in bays in search of food but not for spawning.
Hello PK, I have a question? Are sand crab legal to fishing with in Oregon for surf perch?
Yes. Sand crabs are legal for bait in Oregon
Oregon Life Thank you for responding sir. I really appreciate that 👍🏾
PK, how often do you keep the perch for home cooking, and how many do you bring home.
I usually catch and release. When I do take them home, I just keep about 3-4 for a meal.
Pk Loved your video, can you show me how you set up your gear on your rod, from the weight up. Would love to try it . Thank you
Pk...... which Oregon beach would you say find your best results? Generally..
My daughter and her boyfriend love fishing and they jest moved to Portland. How far are you fishing from Portland?
This spot is about 5 hours from Portland
new to Oregon fishing. Do I need a special stamp for surf fishing? I have a general senior license
In Oregon, a fishing license applies for both salt and freshwater.
How long do you dry the worms for and how do you tell it's half way? Thanks and Merry Christmas :)
What beach are you at in this vid, I live in Turner and am looking for places to go. Great video too.
Jake Brown pretty much any sandy beach is good. Best time is low tides work the incoming high. 👍🏼
Allright! You had an excellent day.
Wow amazing! What size of hook were you using? Link from amazon?
Hey PK, have you noticed any difference between the Gulp Sandworms coming out of the new packaging vs the old packaging? I've gone through two packs of the new ones and felt that the worms were smaller and less durable than the old ones. Also looks like they introduced a partial vacuum seal as part of the new packaging which causes the bag to press up tightly against the worm and gives them a "flattened" appearance when you take them out. Not sure if I just picked up a bad batch or if this is just the future for Gulp...
Never noticed it. Haven't opened any new batch. I've got some old batch from over a year ago I've never opened. When I began drying them out, they last so damn long, I think it'll be a year before I open my new packets. But Thanks for the heads up, I might have to open a new pack to test it out. If it's the case, then that's not good.
+PK Yi Wow that is crazy, I go through at least a bag almost every month. I've tried the drying out method but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as well on the fish in my area, so I am stuck with using them straight out of the bag. Looking forward to hearing your feedback.
I ordered a six inch pack from amazon and i got the same thing you got,they're SKINNY in a vacuum sealed package and not fat like the once PK used in the video.
P.k I have never surf fished here in Oregon I was thinking of going tomorrow do you think it would be good time of the year to attempt
Yes. You can catch surf perch year round. Very important to check the swell report before you go. Good luck.
are rods n reels made for sea fishing so they wont rust etc? how would i know if any of the rods i got at home are sea worthy?
Any fishing rods can be used for ocean fishing. Just rinse it out when you're done.
@@oregonlife well some rods have eye rings made from steel ,yes they can be cleaned but what about reels? those also can easly get rusty from the salt water and sea air ,i know that sea fishing reels are made for such purpose ,i tried using my fresh water reel one time and i can see some rusting that needed to be cleaned fast specially if it gets in the gears or on the bail etc
I am greatly saddened that Cabela's stopped selling their Tourney trail Salmon/Steelhead rods. I own a number of them and think they were one of the best value rods on the market. They were such a good deal when they went on sale. And I really liked the improved reel seat design on the IM8 ones. I don't like the feel of the more expensive Fish Eagle ones nearly as much.
Sportsman's warehouse still carry them, and some high-end Lamiglass.
The Tourney trail fishing rods are Cabela's own brand. They aren't sold anywhere else. The are(were) an exclusive of Cabelas. Maybe they bought out some old remaining stock at some point. Not offered now. :(
I've to use Cabela's surf fishing 10 feet long, now decided to upgrade to 15 feet surf rods they are perfect. I can cast a lot faster and long range area
What beach are you fishing
What do you think about the Shimano SpeedMaster XTC 14000 for surf fishing?
(For the Oregon coast) I started out with a Ultegra Ci4+ 14000 years ago, but soon discover that it was way overkill. I'm down to a size 3000 or 4000 and that works a lot better. You don't need heavy gear for surf fishing the Oregon coast. Keep it light but that's just me. Good luck.
pk i know ur in oregon but what beach r you fishing?
Nice video again, thanks PK
Hey PK. I went to Cabelas website and they do not have the 10 ft poles. Since you bought 4 can you sell me one????, or can you suggest a similar one to yours !! Thank you renato
Oh sorry, I'm going to keep mine. I actually got only 2. But I was at Sportsman's Warehouse today and saw a couple of rods that seems really nice for surf fishing. They are the Shimano Scimitar, and the Okuma SST rods. They are about $50 which is cheaper than the Cabela's. I will be picking a few up and do a review, stay tuned. Here is the link to the Shimano Scimitar:
fish.shimano.com/content/sac-fish/en/home/products/fishing-rods/stickbait/scimitar-ss.html . The 9 foot spinning is the one I got my eye on and will get that one.
Love you bro Mitch & Cole Prospect Or. keep catching and a cooking!!!!
I'm down here in the valley, White City, tight lines!
I'm in Jacksonville LOL seems to be a lot of us Jackson county people watching
Do you fish these sandworms with a dropshot set up or a slide sinker?
I use 2 dropper loops on a HI-LO rig - weight on the bottom.
no sinkers at all??? how doest fly far away
A twelve inch perch is considered "huge"? We regularly catch them from 20 to 22 inches in Gold Beach. 12 inches would not be worth keeping.
20"? Wow. Please post a pic so this conversation has some weight to it.
What's the size can you keep and how many
I live in Oregon and haven't been able to catch any surf perch. What beach in Oregon do you recommend for surf perch fishing.
Before, I've tried 35th street in LC and did OK. You can the Gleneden area too.
Ok sweet thank you!!! Just wondering what beach were you fishing at in this video.
What did do you use
Which rod and reel do you prefer for surf fishing?
What beaches would you say are best for surf perch? I tried over by the Peter Iredale at Fort Stevens but had no luck. Thanks.
I look for flat beaches. Seaside/Gearhart are decent spots up that way.
Thanks!
Live in Astoria thanks for info.
Curious if you live anywhere near Newberg, Oregon? I am a member of NW Steelheaders and a lot of members are interested in Surf Perch fishing. Are you interested in being a guest speaker at a meeting? If not do you know of someone?
As always, Awesome video! ... I have to tell you that I'm feeling better and on this summer I hope to do some beach fishing ("Corvinas", "Róbalos", "Lenguados" and "Pejerreyes") ... MERRY CHRISTMAS P K, for You and all of yours!!!!!!!
Thanks, you too. Hope you get out there and enjoy the beach.
Lol you are better than me PK. I would have taken at least 4 home for the grease. They were too nice. East Coast Perch are not that wide.
