Just subscribed. Thanks for the live updates. Will be in SoCal in a few weeks and plan to do some pier fishing at Newport Pier, Huntington, and Balboa Pier. Mainly fishing for Mack, but the sardines look pretty good too.
It does not require heavy gear use natural bait small baits and hooks will catch more fish watch what other fishermen are doing to catch fish copy the successful that day 😀
@@cousinjim1 Weird, I went to Long Beach and there were over 30 people fishing and no one caught anything all day from 4am to 3pm. Three weeks before that everyone was getting Mackerel hits every 10-20 min and the week before that. Seems like when it gets cold they go deep and go away from the shore?
Salton Sea corvina all died out years ago due to the rising salinity. Only thing left is the tilapia which will one day die out as well if the rising salinity continues and nothing will be left.
This sums up pier-fishing in SoCal. Barely any action and lots of people trying to get into other peoples businesses lol. Was excited to see some action but just like it is at Newport, little to no action until those Mexicans start snagging fish. They snag huge spot-fins, mullet, corbina, Sargos, bonito, halibut, white seabass, surf perch and occasionally bluefin tuna. These guys catch a large amount and end up selling the type they don’t like to eat. It’s so much action and excitement, really makes me want to do it as well but heard it was illegal and their leader seems to be complicated. Idk but it’s awesome and def makes up for the lack of activity when fishing bait. 🤷🏻🤷🏻
@@cousinjim1 no I use head cause all shark do love the fish head. Live bait it pending? I live in south texas of corpus christi tx always catch monsters shark right off beach. It not same law between California and Texas game law. Ir tripping! Lol..lol...

What do you use to keep the pole on the rail
Leave the drag very loose and said the rod on the ground some peers have a rod holder built-in. This one does not.
Hey Cousin Jim I'd like to check out your other channel. Thank you for the work you do on the deception. Thank you.
Any advice I'm going to be there in April thanks Jim
walk the pier to see who is catching fish
then do exactly as they are doing
you will cath fish and have a grat time
Did you make the rod holder? How?
it was home made but I did not do it sorry no instructions
Good info. not a lot of people post their fishing videos in cali. boutta hit the pier tommorrow

Tight Lines Antwan
What I mean are the guys who filled you in on pier anymore
yes randy they are waiting for you
The salton sea hasn't had Cortina in over a decade
that is to bad I use to fish there when I was a kid
It’s funny watching these guys fishing with their pre bought sabikis.
I tie my own sabiki with my own hooks and bait and still catch more lol
you're a true fisherman!
@@cousinjim1Fawk yeah he is
@@edwardmarquez6646 tight lines

When does Mackerel season start and end?
no season they are always around

@@Sweetaccord they follow the bait so if the smelt are being caught the mackerel are close behind
I've had those days and I don't like them
@@cousinjim1 Gotcha. Thank you. Take care and be safe. 😊
Actually sabiki size 12 is equal to to US size 3 hook. I just bought some and ready to go fishing at HB pier this weekend 😀
Love fishing HB Pier on the south side of Ruby's.
yes it is a lot of fun
GRATITUDE💥🐟💥
Tight lines, my friend
Gonna be in California in few weeks
Me too been here for 57 years
if someone did this to me while i was fishing id be so annoyed.
I'm not sure I understand what would annoy you
Obviously Jim asked for permission to film, he's a class act.
Is it really fishing if you’re just sitting down waiting around?
I was thinking the same
Same that’s why he interviewed the Barney 🥳🤩🤓 of the pier “surf city USA 🇺🇸 “ had me dyin 😂😂😂
Salton sea had orange mouth corvina not corbia the orange mouth corvinacame from sea of cortez
yes but they are gone now
The Salton Sea has no corbina….. it has corvina
thanks
Not anymore

Catching thresher shark?? It easy! Caught one in pismo beach pier.
If you have live bait then that really helps
@@cousinjim1 no I use head cause all shark do love the fish head. Live bait it pending? I live in south texas of corpus christi tx always catch monsters shark right off beach. It not same law between California and Texas game law. Ir tripping! Lol..lol...
anyone know the species at 13:06?
It’s a queen fish or a hearing
yellowfin
yellowfin croaker
🤙🤙🤙great info just subbed
thanks fish guy
Sounds fun but...
Be careful walking to the pier. The locals do not pick up after their dogs so the poop is on the ground. Just be careful.
land mines everywhere
How bout to fish the piers. No one caught anything. So a good video tho.
Jerry Epstein fishing
Pier fishing is lame. If you're an adult and pier fish, you are lame. That's something you take your grandkids to do and that is all.
Hope to watch my bluefin tuna videos love to have you as a subscriber
Lmao...how you gonna make a fishing video and not know anything about fishing??? Lmao!
Corvina isn't the same as Corbina
you're right! Thanks for teaching me I love to learn.
