I advise against fishing under the bridge. I used to fish on the other side - before the second bridge. I fished directly under as that seemed the safest. Once time kids were dropping rocks. Another time a jumper landed on the rocks about 20 feet from me. No more fishing that day. All cops and fireboat, etc. Now with two bridges you are not completely protected by being under one roadway.
I’m 2 years too late in finding this video but I like in Oak Harbor. I been trying to learn Spey since I was younger in the surf here and haven’t had much luck. Caught a pink back in 2015 on my Spey but you make me want to just fish the surf to see what I turn up
Nice! Neo fly fishing is where it's at! Can't remember the last time I caught a trout, having too much fun chasing everything else. Hope to build myself a 2 hander soon and have a go in the surf.
I’ve eaten buffalo sculpin they are similar to a catfish but the one I cut was as big as a smallmouth bass and that was about two or three years ago five years ago actually
Kids have a blast catching those shore species. Try going to a river mouth and you might get into some searun cutthroat trout. Those are a blast on light fly gear.
That's not a Staghorn Sculpin you caught at 2.31, it's a BUFFALO SCULPIN (Enophrys Bison).. besides the two large "horns" (similar to the Bull Sculpin of California) the orange margins of the pectoral fins are the features that tell you it's a Buffalo Sculpin....
Pretty cool. Believe it or not, your videos got me into Spey casting. I didn't know you could fish like that off the beach. Bottom fishing even more surprising. Bad production is entertaining.
I care about kelp greenlings. They make awesome ling cod bait🙂 Second only to sand dabs. I need to get out after the searuns this year. Water looked beautiful!
Hi There, I was wondering if you knew whether or not kelp greenling is still legal to keep in puget sound. Lingcod and Rockfish have been closed, but I'm not entirely sure where kelp greenling stands.
You can basically use a 2 handed Spey for most target fish… this guy is living proof… on the central Cali coast … you name it … it gets caught on a Spey setup …. not a whole lot of people swing a Spey … but those that do … target just about anything that will take a fly… Stripers, Halibut, perch…etc.etc.etc… Fly gear definitely makes things a bit more interesting..! 👍😎🤙
@@tylerdoesflyfishing7191 So this is not a Spey outfit? Are you using an OPST commando head? It looks like you are casting with very little back casting!
@@cmclee153 hey! Ya it’s OPST full setup, 250grain head with an riffle series sink tip and 40lb running line, the lighter running lines seem to chafe and get memory in them too easily.
@@tylerdoesflyfishing7191 Thanks. That is really helpful! I am new to Puget Sound and am learning its ways. Your videos feel so real. Much appreciate your sharing them.
@@cmclee153 no problem! I’ll be out Sunday if you want to meet up and try hook some SRCs from shore! Go follow me on Instagram if you have it and DM me for details
14:30 looks like maybe a buffalo sculpin to me.

2:43 is not a stagghorn sculpin. It’s a buffalo sculpin. Still cool nontheless

I’ve caught a 3 pound stag horn off the dock
by the way that sculpin was a buffalo sculpin, really cool colors on it tho

Thanks man! Ya idk if I wanna do full flashy TH-cam videos or cringe compilation with a caught fish every now and then

legal no size limit
Good to see someone else trying out skagit spey!
Nice I use a two handed trout Spey rod for sea runs too! Nice video!

@@jaaron2834 My channel is Full of Alt-Spey surf perch video coming soon
I would like to know more about the size and colors of your flies. Where do you buy them?
I make them myself, they are usually 4-5 inches and just the standard pink on purple. Go to Spawn Fly fish and pick up the jig shanks and beads!
Is this OPST setup? What line wt you using, and is that a switch rod? I'm looking to setup something like yours.
buffalo sculpin I think
Would be cool to fish with yah! I’m in Tacoma for the summer!
is that a outbound short line
That was a buffalo sculpin. The staghorn is the second one you caught in the video. The spine's are not poisonous.
Don't think I've ever seen anyone spey in the salt. Always a double haul thing.
What is the outfit you are using? What weight?
Ma catch premier 7wt

Damn that's hard to watch...
Just an FYI. Pacific Staghorn Sculpins are not venomous.
Their spines sure seem to be
