what a great video! i live in ocean park and would love to fish with you,never fished low tide and have been catching very small surfperch,only one big one,but then again haven't surf fished in 40 years. retired vet that is having so much fun at this beautiful spot
Thank you for watching! Yes that would be fun to fish together! The big perch they usually tend to be farther out so I’m usually from the waist high lol. I usually cast out and run back to shore so I don’t get sucked in by those sneaker waves 🌊
Smart man! I love how you bring clean water with you to clean your reel! I’ve thrown away so many reels after fishing salt water due to not putting them in clean water right away after fishing. Thank you for the knowledge brother! 😊
Great setup! Thank you for showing us your way of surf fishing brother 🙏. Fishing and chillin by the fire pit on the beach is the way of life! Sweet video!
Anytime and thank you for watching and supporting 🙏. Yes your surf gear is a must, you will never know what you will end up catching out there! Cheers to the great outdoor life! 🍻
Grate video man ! Thank you for sharing youre knowledge with us, im going over to long beach to razer clam, im also going to try surf perch fishing for my first time
That’s a good spot… LB yeah? And fishing very low tide allows one to throw past the sand bar where the fish are at. I miss those days… gotta get my rod and reel out soon and let the kids reel them in. 🎉
Awesome video! Astoria bridge brings back so many memories. What are the little spring like things on the rig? I don’t have those and I am wondering if they are necessary. Also, I want to try this while backpacking and I am wondering if a 7.5 foot rod would work? Thanks for the good video!
Hello Samuel thank you for checking out my channel! Those spring like things are useless I don’t use them anymore and if you watch my recent videos I tie them a new way lol. I’m usually always trying different methods of tying and seeing which ones works best. Yes a 7.5 foot rod will work as long as you have waders to get into the water and cast it far out. My rod is a 10.5 foot so it helps me cast farther out since I use a spinning reel. Good luck and fish on!
I live a block away from the approach in Ocean Park just past Long Beach.. I have never caught anything in saltwater. But you're making surf perching look so simple and fun! I don't know if my pole is right for something like that thought. I think you're inspiring me to try at least, lol!
I’m so happy to hear this! I love to inspire people to go out and try surf fishing because it’s extremely fun and addicting! I’m so jealous you’re right there because I have to drive so far to get there lol. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you so well when you decide to give it a try! Cheers! 🌊🎣
Dang brother good content! Bigg ol purch bro! Like back to back. Man I want to go fish there. Can't wait to bring my 4 wheen dr there. That fire seems so relaxing man. Cold weather and hot fire, that's the spot right there.
Im down here in Portland and wanna try off the beach near Astoria and also wanna try a new drive on Long Beach. Does the bait vary between these areas? In other words, same bait works or do you have a favorite for the WA side?
That looks so fun! I've been wanting to go since I got here, even bought a pole and some stuff. Would you be willing to take a newbie along on one of your trips?...could even make a video of it.
Hello, I was using shrimps and but it varies on the day meaning sometimes I catch them on the gulpy worms or sand shrimps too. Thank you for watching 🙏
Hi lifewithsal.. going surf fishing at Long Beach with my waterproof drone in August for 1st time ever. We are staying in Long Beach. where should I go?
I’m usually out at seaview but if I don’t catch there I will go over to Long Beach and search for them on that side. Thank you for watching and good luck to you in august! 🎣
The surfs are horrible this time of the year. Been out there a few times now and the tide comes up to your ankle up to your vehicle. This makes it extremely hard to cast far out to where the fish will be… guess I’ll have to wait until summer to go back out

Sal’s only missing one thing in this video and that’s grilling the fish on the fire 🔥😄
I agree Sal should do more catch and cook 🙌
This is what makes him such a great fisherman because he doesn’t hide anything and is very open and respectful
@@washingtonlife always enjoy your surf fishing 🎣

Ron from Raymond, have you perched at Washaway/ North Cove? I understand not to go too far towards shoalwater to avoid being on their land?
No I have not

Wohooo...2nd commenter here...Happy watching..💕

Yes my favorites are white shrimps with shell on, clam necks and sand shrimps. Thank you for watching and good luck out there!
Great video bro!

Why do you have a spinning reel on a bait casting rod? Just curious
Wanted to be different from others lol
@washingtonlife hey if your catching fish who cares right??? Fish on brother
@@michaelhull63 exactly bro 👍👍
I do the exact same setup but I have a different rod and reel
🙌🙌🙌
I do the exact same setup
That’s awesome!
Nice catch and camp fire. What rod and reel are you using? Thanks
I’m using a Fenwick HMX rod and a Proberos CF-5000 reel
Where do you find the round flat weights you are using?
The round flat weights I found them at Fisherman’s

@@washingtonlife thank you bro 😎 good fishing 🎣
@@lorenzoantoniotrevinodelag7453 no problem and good luck out there!
What do you use for bait?
I use all sorts of baits depending on what they prefer that day. So I’ll usually bring shrimps, clam neck, Berkeley gulps

It’s a 10.5’ rod
I need to get my gym game back on lol
Lol
What were you using for bait? I'm using the camo Gulp worms like everyone seems to advise, but I haven't caught a single perch yet.
Those are a hit and miss but the majority of the time I use clam necks, shrimps, or sand shrimps
@@washingtonlife Thanks! For shrimp, do you you mean store bought human food, or special bait-shop shrimp?
@@melanies.6030 store bought raw white shrimps. I really appreciate you watching my video and good luck out there!
@@washingtonlife Oh thank YOU! It's currently an obsession this summer for me to finally catch some surf perch!
@@melanies.6030 it’s a great obsession!
What kind of lures are using?
The lures I use are mainly a size 2 hook with the Berkeley’s gulp worms or shrimps and sand shrimps
Where do you get clam necks?
I get them from a friend but if you search at some bait stores they will have some
Whats the perch limit and whats the best time to catch high tide or low tide?
Hello Victor, perch limit is 12 per day and I usually do good with low tide. Thank you for watching and good luck! 👍
What beach is that? Near Coos Bay?
Long Beach and thank you for taking the time to watch
I live near Long Besch but that’s in So. Calif where B I live. That bridge you crossed reminds me of Coos Bay Oregon.
what size reel do you use for surf fishing?
The reel I used in that video and currently still using is size 2500 or medium size spinning reel

what rod you using ?
I’m using a Fenwick HMX rod
Nice. You catch your limit?
Thanks bro and yes I did. Got skunked 2 weeks ago and finally caught lol
What bait do you use?
That day I was using shrimps
A that fishing rod isn't the right one for that reel .the rod you have is for a bait cast reel .wasn't sure if you new that .but it works for both .
Yes thank you I know but I prefer using that combo lol. Thanks again for watching my videos and fish on!

That sounds amazing! They sure are weird looking, I wonder how they taste?
Do you need a fishing license to surf fish on the beach ?
@@Ishipalott yes you do and it’s a different type of fishing license too. Thank you for watching
It's a rod, not a pole. 🤣
Yes very true! Hahaha 😆
