Great video Ed. Those tips are solid. You said in this video “hauk and wind, you gotta be willing to do it for hours” and also said you hit that spot like 5 times all skunks… so this is a great tip to keep in mind. You gotta be willing to fish many trips without a bite. Many hours. That’s part of the striped bass fisherman’s constitution when you’re just learning where and when to find them.
Lovin' that you're getting back to the Info-tainment side! Started watching you just for the surf knowledge! Keep it up! Like watching your fishing adventures, don't get me wrong, but much rather watch for education and motivation to get on the hunt! Keep this type of content coming man! Tight lines
Awesome striped bass action guys!! That got me hyped!! Really great information in this vid. The only thing out of those 6 conditions I don’t check very often is wave power. I’ll check currents but not usually wave power. I’ll definitely have to start keeping an eye on that. Great video Edward 👌
Solid video. One factor I look at really close for stripers while in the ocean is water temp. Warmer the better as the Striped bass metabolism goes off packing weight on for annual spawn runs.
@@Hook2Cook After you provided this valuable info (Won) Western Outdoor News ran a Column Article titled " 5 keys to surf Fishing" Almost looked like WON read your info and thought it was a good subject for a article. You could be a writer for WON. Won takes field reports and these anglers often are given an opportunity to write for WON in regional areas. This is a way to link to manufactures and other sources as well as possibly earning a spot on the WON staff. Tight lines to you Ed
you're very inteligent.. I love your know how about stripe bass fishing.. I'm learning a lot. I love to fish from the the surf.. I live in San Rafael.. any particular place here.. thank you.. fe
Great video I’m blessed to fish striped bass in Monterey seaside sand city area and catching 300 plus fish from February through November for last 25 years, your videos spot on you’ve a lot and thank you for sharing I always do when I see the teen adult anglers trying so hard dinner or later they come up and ask me how I do that , cone to the beach fidh 30 mins and have a limit so I share my info also , we’re all in it for The same
Where are your favorite places to fish I’m in the exploring phase right now when’s the next time you’re gonna hit the surf‘s up I’m gonna try missing beach today when I get off work high tides at 4:30 I think I’m gonna try your advice get there two hours before PK tide it worked for me pretty well yesterday in Oceanside thanks for the videos I’m actually catching halibut now I want to try the striped bass today
Got so fired up I went to the same spot yesterday. Nothing! Middle of May incoming tide and , I don't know, just were not there. Even tried the entrance of the mouth . Dude , shit ain't easy.
What do you recommend for rougher waters north of GGB? I'm having difficulty finding beaches that will allow lures to swim alright? Deeper incline beaches with larger waves
Are you familiar with resources like surf-forecast.com? Or coastal waters forecast to see how close the swells are in terms of seconds? It might not be a problem with the beaches or lures you are throwing. It might be a problem of going when the conditions are just plain tough. If you choose a day with Medium to light swells at least 10 seconds apart and 500 or less wave power you’ll find the conditions much better. Sometimes there’s also too much current.
Hi, don't tell me exactly where you fish, but approx what area are you? In your opinion what's the most productive time of the year for surf striper fishing?
Careful what you ask for! Numbers have been increasing putting pressure on native species like perch and steelhead. We caught one with 4 perch, a smelt and a steelhead in its belly.
Super informative! Have you done a video where you describe the gear you bring with you for mobile plugging? The rod reel rig tackle I’ve seen, but like backpack, what’s inside your backpack, waders, useful tools, like things that you bring that will help you do well on the surf and allow you to stay mobile? Thanks!
That's an illegal spot that you're promoting there at Avila Beach. State law have to fish 100 ft either side from the creek mouth all times of year for any species. As a local I know that rock you're standing on holding that fish is right in the mouth not 100 ft off either side. Way to go getting a striper though
That's funny . . But not. I was there yesterday standing right on that rock in the middle of the channel. Didnt get nothing but a snagged bottum feeder. 2 of them on one hook. That's a first. Conditions were good except for the bait fish. Saw one splash, that's it
Depends on where you fish. South of point Arguello requires ocean enhancement. "Required to fish in ocean waters south of Point Arguello (Santa Barbara County). An Ocean Enhancement Validation is not required when fishing under the authority of a One or Two-Day Sport Fishing License."
@@Hook2Cook That is why we were out. My buddy and I landed 18 in less than 3 hours on the rising tide on a full moon night. That is why we often night fish here up North of you 🤙🏼
@@robertsaconi2012 damn bro why you such a hater. It seems like you really don't care about giving up people's fishing spots based on your comments. You're either not from around here or you're just a bitter old man
@Dante Carnessale that was more of a joke than anything but part of fishing IS sharing things like knowledge spots ect. So i dont know what ur problem is but to each their own
I got one of those 9 foot ugly sticks with a nice reel on it, but I can’t seem to cast that far out there. Do I need a longer pull like a 12 footer cause this one seems nice but I just can’t pass a little waves. It’s really frustrating.
The lure rating printed on the rod will give you the best indication. I’m guessing the lure rating on your rod is a lot heavier than the lure you’re throwing. The lures in this episode are 1/2 and 3/4 oz. The rods are rated to cast from 1/2-2 oz
Then response for an old video that had out there I appreciate that yeah like I said I have a 9 foot ugly stick. I’ve been using for surf fishing and it’s like a 4000 real. I forgot the name of it off that it’s like I got like the half ounce half the white glow thing in that thing it looks like a minnow That worked out great so I bought two like 20 bucks or something like that and I still haven’t caught a damn fish and I can’t get the damn thing out there. It won’t go to it won’t go far enough so can you recommend what I wanna stick cause they’re cheaper and is 12‘9 foot tall enough or what I’m gonna get one of those out there I wish I could afford $1200 to that helicopter anyhow thank you much for the advice. I’m glad I can’t believe you got back to me that quick. Have a good one you’re Monterey I want to go fishing with you dude😁🎣
Dude, when you’re in Carmel by the sea in California, I want you let me know cause I want to go fishing with you so bad. I want to catch a fish and I’m doing everything wrong and I need your help.

Yea Steve! Once you start looking at wave power you’ll start to find a sweet zone for different surf species
Solid video. One factor I look at really close for stripers while in the ocean is water temp. Warmer the better as the Striped bass metabolism goes off packing weight on for annual spawn runs.
Good call! Spring is really when I start having striper on the mind

Great job 👏🤙
Love your channel n that u offer what u use on ur page
Nice video!
About how much drag do you use? Like ~8-10lbs?
Can you do a 6 conditions for surf perch video 🤙🏾
Great idea!
@@Hook2Cook appreciate it bro! Yall caught some major slabs!
Great video. What do you do for work?
Please let me know what beach you saw the surf smelt at. I love fishing for them with a throw net.
Soo bad ass! I love Avila.
😳I think you're right about that being a Steelhead...
Where u located. Is that santa cruz or monterey

Great job guys. Which lure are you using. Thanks
Calissa 110
Great content bro. How’s the surf fishing for stripers during winter?
After the rains it’s really good. Without much rain, spring is better. Just caught one in the last episode filmed a few days ago
@@Hook2Cook Thanks for the reply my guy.
That’s crazy how it has been feeding on trout
I like that hoodie, what brand is that? Thanks for the tips!

Hi, don't tell me exactly where you fish, but approx what area are you?
In your opinion what's the most productive time of the year for surf
striper fishing?
Looked like avila beach but 🤷🏽♂️
I wish we have more fish here on california beaches like yo guys over there 😢😢😢
Careful what you ask for! Numbers have been increasing putting pressure on native species like perch and steelhead. We caught one with 4 perch, a smelt and a steelhead in its belly.
What kind of rod you use for stripers? Action, power and length?
10 foot medium heavy rated to cast from half ounce all the way to 2 ounces
Is that Avila Beach?
Super informative! Have you done a video where you describe the gear you bring with you for mobile plugging?

nice
Hi Ed, made two comments that I could see initially, then couldn't see them. Do I need to do anything on my end to correct this?
I don’t see your other ones either. Maybe you need to update your app
It doesn't look like you're using a leader on your setup is that common for striper fishing with the 110
It’s more of a topshot of copolymer, definitely NOT straight braid

fisherman's beach?
Lol

do you need the ocean enhancement validation licence to fishing on the shore?
Yes you do.
Depends on where you fish. South of point Arguello requires ocean enhancement. "Required to fish in ocean waters south of Point Arguello (Santa Barbara County). An Ocean Enhancement Validation is not required when fishing under the authority of a One or Two-Day Sport Fishing License."
@@markhocking2362 your right I forget about that line in the sand. I only fish socal so I just always get it. Thanks.
Whatt about the moon phase? Couple days before and a couple days after the new moon 🌚
New moon is good. Full moon not so much. Fish feed at night when it’s bright and are full in the morning and won’t eat during the day.

@@fishhunt9874well said and great theory
One of my buddies caught a 18.5 lbs stripped bass on the surf it had a heart attack in the middle of the fight and came in belly up lol
Were is this Pismo Avila?
Avila beach
@@robertsaconi2012 damn bro why you such a hater. It seems like you really don't care about giving up people's fishing spots based on your comments. You're either not from around here or you're just a bitter old man
What beaches are you fishing?
If you know, you know.
That first location was Avila beach
@@robertsaconi2012 Hi~~how did you know?
you forgot to mention one last variable... LOCATIONS!!! lol
Near streams is a pretty good hint
That’s Avila beach! Right under the bridge
@@robertsaconi2012 thanks im going to see if i can find that spot next time im over there

Look like Avila beach.?
It is
Delete this comment immediately lol why you got to put it on Front Street
King croaker
How come yall don't recommends which beaches or area yall must b scared people might fish out the areas
They never say where they fish

We can fish year around
LOL....
TH-camr telling beach walker to not anyone 🤣🤣
