Your Surf fishing videos are still my favorite. Super fun. Thanks!
Thanks! Appreciate the support!
me too, i like his surf fishing more than kayak
"Thanks for playin!" Haha😂
I think the all the rain and weather we had this past season completely reinvigorated the fishing this year. Everything is around, they are big, and in big numbers. Halibut, stripers, and perch. It's been a great spring since the beginning of April. I am getting halibut and striper bites in areas that don't usually turn on until much later in the season as well. To bad the Salmon season was nixed this year, but if the remainder of the year is like this, you won't find me complaining.
Yeah I agree! Everything is heating up!
That slug barred surf perch in the thumbnail is the biggest i've ever seen! Have surf fished for them (and corbina) most of my life in so. Cal using sandcrabs for bait. Great catch!
I see that I need to start eating donuts to catch fish.....Who knew
Cali Bear Claws ‼️
Love donuts, love the ocean those the best.
Leave the bagels at home. I'm all about the breakfast of champions when I go fishing. Doughnuts is where it's at
Definitely a key to success
An old fashion (crumble?) donut, beautiful beach, and near-limit surf perch....dude that is heaven.
I literally grew up fishing barred perch in Southern California and thats got to be the biggest I've ever seen ! Great job and great channel always. Utah is watching 😊
Got any recs for locations?
Dad always taught me to fish 2 hrs before high tide, basically fishing the in coming tide. We did very well between Bolsa Chica state beach and Laguna Beach. Seemed winter was always mega perch. Back in '70's we would pull all nighters on Belmont pier and catch basically anything including 5 lb Sargo perch . If you know where Longbeach marine stadium is, then at the end of the stadium towards starting line is flood gates that let's the sea water into Colorado Lagoon. Fish the lagoon by the gates with a fly lined frozen anchovy. Used to get big bay bass out of there.
Dang, love days like this!
Nice slabs! Bring a v-groove hook sharpener to touch up those hook points when you're out there. They are small but gives piece of mind and ensure needle sharp points while you're out there. Cheers!
Good tip! I'll add one to my bag!
One after the other 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣 Awesome catches. FISH 🎣 ON & TIGHT LINES 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Those are some chunks!!
I hooked more 2 pound perch up here in washington than i could count .best day surf fishing i ever had .i was plunking a lucky craft on a high low rig
Great fishing! Can't wait to get out there and try it soon!
Great sesh on the perch and always nice to get the beach to yourself .
Awesome day in the Surf! 🎣
I truly appreciate your videos and enjoy the opportunity to fish via video with you, brother! Remember the abc's, always be carrying!
Great day of fishing. Nice job Adam 👍 Quality catch Thanks for sharing
as a californian recently relocated away from my ocean this video hits me really hard. good job on the BSP
Sorry! Hopefully you can make a trip back sometime!
I just got the fm metallic sardine lure, perfect timing man.
Thanks for the update , much love!!! ❤
Nice Surf Fishing video ! 😊 Liked the catches .. I watched your videos all the time 👍
The BSP fishing in central and SoCal has been on fire
Love your surf fishing videos 🤙
Awesome congratulations I know nothing is easy! Thanks 🎉
I checked the expanded view of the BG4000 it appears to be the roller clutch that is giving you a problem. It's a simple remove and replace parts swap. Good video, nice fish.
Yes Avila Beach has slabs a lot of times
Geeeez perfect conditions! Solid bite
FIRE!!!
The new GoPro camera mount looks good to me. Thanks for sharing.
The new GoPro mount is a keeper. I have a hard time watching some other UA-camrs when it is mostly their hand reeling the whole time.
Thanks! I agree I think this one is better!
Man, i tried surf fishing but no luck a few weeks ago at dillon.
Next time!
Post more 👍🙌
@@xImFasa if that is to our channel. We are trying, we gotta catch some fish. Been getting a lot of small ones and videos aren’t too entertaining. We will keep trying. If you mean die hard, then yea please more videos
@@averageanglers7075 towards y’all🙏🏼🙌🔥
You found the honey hole. Great day!
Nice one Adam
Greta day of surf fishing. It almost looked like snow (bright sun?) in background while you eating your donut.
Put a Quik Measure pro tape on your rod and you will always have a tape to measure
Adam I love these videos, I’m from Hawaii grew up catching fish my whole life. We moved to Las Vegas Nevada. I don’t like the freshwater fish here there’s a very different taste to it. I’ve been watching you catch the surf perch and I’ve always wondered what they taste like and how would you compare that to some of the fish in Hawaii? They look Like they are good tasting fried fish. And every time you hold one of those fish up I wanna fire up my frying pan ha ha ha ha
In so cal we have trigger fish that are also in Hawaii… surf perch have a similar flavor and texture
Best white meat fish
1. Sheepshead
1b. Wahoo
2. Sea Bass
3. Halibut
4. Almost every rock fish
Red meat
1. Bluefin
2. Albacore
2b. Salmon
3. Yellowfin
4. Bonito
4b. King Mackerel or Sierras
Surf perch tastes like trigger fish and both are good IMO
Great edit Adam! Thanks for sharing. Yeah you’re slaying!!!
Have you swapped out those hooks? If so what did you replace with?
I was really looking forward to meeting you bro.. but I woke up super sick and won't be able to make it to the basspro.
Hope ya'll have fun! Take some shorts if you can!👍
Next time!
Great video. What pound test leader are you throwing the Lucky craft with? Happy fishing bro 🎣 love watching your videos
I usually use 15-20 for surfperch
Thanks bro 🎣🎣🎣
"Eat an old fashion donut for good luck." Got it
Hey Adam , good stuff ! Hey guys there’s no way he will tell you where he’s at , I wouldn’t , then there would be 60 guys there next time he goes 😮
I grew up fishing for ocean perch, and have never caught one on a lure.😢
Nice catch Adam I'm surprised you didn't get a striper? Usually you get at least one when your fishing for perch!
Yeah I was surprised too!
I use a motor oil color crappie jig on #6 hook. 1oz egg sinker with a 18" leader. Catch the crap out of them. Reel in fast, they like it fast.
Fish on! Great video
Great video!
Cool video man. I never caught a perched on a beach before. Any tips on lines, weight and how far do you have to cast out.
What a great session
Adam you slayed them!
What a day!
Adam I love your videos. Quick question. I just bought a few lucky crafts I’ve always just used grub. I noticed you tie on your leader a snap to your lure but without the swivel barrel that let’s it spin freely. I assume the snap is to easily change from one lure to the next but why don’t use the part that swivels it along with the snap? Do you not want it to spin? Please advise. Thanks Ted
Question what's the beat month to catch those behemoth perchs?
Nice catch, yeah I like to eat them too taste good 👍🏼
I swear one of these days one of us fishermen will have actual breakfast for breakfast 😂😂
It won't be me! haha
I remember you trying some lures from Japan, but have you ever tried the Jackson Pin Tail Ez 45?
It’s a 45 gram jerk bait the profile of the LC and yes the casting distance is fn amazing and it produces…
They have a sardine (your favorite) color too🍻
I haven't but I will check that one out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Crushed it! Now back to Monterey for some halibut :-)
Those are some slab surf perch!
Awesome video! Which beach is this?
Those would be good for a catch and cook...
What do you think about using a chest mount vs a headcam? I feel like I can capture slightly more with the head cam, but I look around so much when I’m fishing it’s probably disorienting to watch lmao
Yeah I personally like the chest cam a little more. Its also a lot easier to make sure you are recording and everything is working properly
You fish more and catch more than fisherman's life, don't know why you don't have more followers!
that has nothing to do with followers. funny..
@@josephsaeteurn9158 in your mind it doesn't, it's how you make more money
What rod is that 😮
Nice catch. How do you like to prepare the perch for dinner?
nice cattch of the day. where can I one of that cool lure bait?
What part of California are u fishing?????
What is your new GoPro mount? The view is good. Seems to be a bit higher and over to the left. Does not seem to be a shoulder mount. I this mount better.
It is a mount that attaches to the strap of my backpack, glad you liked it!
If I may ask. What’s spinning reel are you using?
I would love to fish there! What beach is that??
good stuff!!
What kind of a rod are you using to throw those plugs? What are they about 3/4oz.?
5/8th almost 3/4….
Good question
What kind of rig are you using in the video? What is the line you use. I live in Utah and come out to the West coast in July. I'd like to learn what to use. Thank you.
Did you catch all your fish at Avila beach
How far out do you need to throw those?
What?!?!? Still no waders? 😁
The new GoPro mount worked well. When you change out hooks on your lures, what hooks do you use?
Thanks.
Thanks! I don't have any particular hook, just depends what I have in stock.
Is there a keeper size limit for barred surf perch in California?
No size limit
Good job Die Hard. Is there some place to get dry ice nearby?
If you don't mind, what rod and reel setup are you using? What's the length and action of the rod?
When you change the hooks on your LC, do you also change the split ring on the front?
I change both. Stocks aren't great
Nice Adam. How do you prepare those? I've found them to be a bit mushy.
Do you change out the stock trebel hooks?
Just joining so keep them coming
How do you tell by looking there is a hole there with probable fish. I haven't done a whole lot of surf fishing...
They're great for pan frying, squeeze 🍋🍋 and eat with steam rice and soy sauce..
What kind of pole were you using? TIA
Did you camp there in Avila
What weight is the lure?
if you don’t mind listing your gear as in rod and reel please good video! Thanks!
What’s your rod/reel setup?
Those are monsters
I wanted to catch those surf perch. But, I don’t know where the spot is??
What size ounces is that Lure? I have multiple SP minnows and I feel like they’re small and light
I believe its around 3/4 ounces
Thank you!
Curious why you manually snap the bale back on your reel after your cast. ..doesn’t it automatically snap back when you start reeling?
you will trash your reel doing that. hand flip only
Take me fishing with you
I agree. 👍🏼
What size is lucky craft? Could you help me
OK dude what beach is this what pole are you using? Saw the reel. Whats the limit?
Hey have you tried Twisted Donuts in the Sunset district? They are bomb
Is that a LC110 or 115? Nice day of fishing 🎣!!
110
Dude question do you do any catch and cook ? So we can see how the fish came be prepared.
BARED SURF PURCH 🔥
- CENTRAL AND NORCAL
Great video very enjoyable! What’s the limit on surf perch and license is required? Thanks for sharing brother, many Likes!
No more than 10 of the same species. Total 20 combined species in possession.
What are your rod specs?
Is this Lucky Craft 110 ?
