That was a pike. That was also my dad that rang you up at the bait shop. First striper video I have ever watched and it ended up being my dad((Ray Arnold) in it. That just made his day. God bless..
Great videos. Just found your channel and have been going back and watching several. You definitely do a good job with the editing. I love that Thunderjet of yours. I mostly fish for salmon but going to get better with the stripers and sturgeon this year. I'm going to steal your idea for the magic thread on your bait board. Little things like that make life a lot easier.
Shasta Steve awesome! Welcome to the channel glad you like it! I appreciate it! Can’t take credit for the editing that is all my brother in law.. lol he is really good and I’m learning a lot from his help.. the magic thread on the bait board is very convenient! We do love the Thunderjet! It works great for us.. it does get a little rough in the bay and ocean not having a fiberglass boat.. but it’s a trade off for all the other fishing we do.. we try to fish for everything! Some fish I’m just better at catching than others.. lol but hopefully that is what the channel is about.. sharing and learning about fishing and boats! Thanks for watching.. and tight lines!
I like the tip on the anchovies. I usually cut the head and tail off and put it on the hook and then use magic thread to hold it on the hook. I will definitely try your method. Thanx 👍
Stanley S i was using sardines that day .. since they are bigger I cut them in half like that.. but when I use anchovies I slice them down the middle but not all the way through.. and fold them over, flesh out and wrap with magic thread.. I always throw the head and tail overboard as chum.. and have cut fish open later on and found my fish head and tails in their belly.. thanks for watching the video.. and thanks for commenting.. I appreciate it! Tight lines!
@@ReelLifeFisherman Thanks for that tip. They did look large for anchovies. Thanx for the clarification. I definitely like your videos. I live in Castro Valley and it's nice to see familiar spots where I have fished or been before. 🎣🎣🎣
We call those worms 'Rag worm' in the UK. They are one of the best baits to use. They are commercially collected in Ireland and I have used a one which was about 3 feet in length. The jet black pincers can give you a nasty bite, even on the small ones which are about the same size you had, usually a tad longer over there. I am sure the bags of 'rag' must have been weighed for sale because from my memory, there was only one huge worm in the bag we bought. Usually there was about seven in a bag and were expensive. Two of the most prized baits over there were crab (softies which had just shed their shells) and 'Rag worm'. The softies had to be caught on rocks and not that easy to find just anywhere. It's confusing sometimes when there are fish of different species caught all over the world ,yet have the same names. In this case, a Kingfish. In Australia we have a yellowtail kingfish. Your Kingfish had a distinct yellow tail but the dorsal fins were not the same ( confusion).I wish there was some official body which could keep things in perspective . Great video though and look forward to looking back on all of your other videos. ALWAYS a thumbs up for yours. Tight lines my friend.
Yes the are awesome bait! but I have to be honest they freak me out! They do try to bite and have big pincers! We call them pile worms.. and they work great! I have no clue why or how! But I hate hooking them! But I do it because they work.. they are usually any where from 9 to 12 dollars a dozen..
And yes I would save so much confusion if everyone called a fish or a bait the same thing! 😂 Even in our own fishing community in this area people will call certain baits or fish usually a unwanted by catch.. by a different name! Glad you liked the video! And thanks for your great comments! And as always thanks for watching.. tight lines!
It’s a King fish ( Croaker ) . They are normally out in the Ocean ( HMB, outside the Gate) . Very good for Ling Cod live bait. I’m surprise they are in Delta. Keep up the good videos bro. Love watching them. 👍
C U FISHING awesome glad you like the videos thank you! Absolutely correct I looked it up later and talked to some buddies and they said the same thing!
fishing guy thanks so much for the tip .. I will definitely give it a try! planning on going out Sunday in the suisun and montezuma slough area.. I didn’t like that launch or parking there very much.. probably won’t go there again.. thanks for watching! And tight lines!
Next time if you're launching out of there go towards Montezuma Slough or fished all in front of it in the Deep Channel don't have to go that far to catch you can also launch out of Martinez they have a pretty nice lunch ramp as well good luck out there
Thanks man I will check out Martinez launch! I have fished out of montezuma and suisun slough quite a bit in the past.. I may just stick to those .. they do produce! Thanks for the info bro I do appreciate it.. and thanks for watching the video! Tight lines!
Good video but what do you use for trout trolling like the rod and reel and if you get a chance to go to Nevada you should try fishing pyramid Lake that’s for me and my dad are fishing and we caught a few but it’s lures only
Trout trolling I use down rigger rods like lamiglass or okuma trout/Kokanee rods.. and okuma cold water line counters reels.. and i absolutely want to go to pyramid lake.. real bad! Soon! Thanks for watching!
i also caught a 12 inch trout in the delta last year and released it ..it did look different from browns and rainbow trout and def not a salmon or steelhead...
hhhd hjo thanks for watching.. it’s crazy the amount of different fish in the delta .. that’s one of the things I like about it.. you never know what you are going to get! Lol
Muddyh2o2 Init awesome I hope to catch one next time I’m out there going ling fishing.. this was near the mothball fleet area.. and I had never seen one! Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching.. I really appreciate it! Tight lines!
The power lines in the rio vista area? Thanks..that’s what I found out.. are they any good to eat? They are a pretty fish in the sun for sure.. thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Dennis Gray thanks! It seems it’s one of those fish that have a bunch of names people call them.. lol..thanks for watching the video and thanks for commenting.. tight lines!
James Mi thanks that is what I found out.. never caught one and I have fished in that area quite a bit.. I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! Tight lines
Awesome thanks I have tried that before with minnows.. I try that next time with mudsuckers too! Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching.. tight lines 🎣

Waypoint Industries Fishing thanks! I hadn’t ever caught one before! I’ll remember that next time! Thanks for watching
Good video but what do you use for trout trolling like the rod and reel and if you get a chance to go to Nevada you should try fishing pyramid Lake that’s for me and my dad are fishing and we caught a few but it’s lures only
They don’t allow bait
Trout trolling I use down rigger rods like lamiglass or okuma trout/Kokanee rods.. and okuma cold water line counters reels.. and i absolutely want to go to pyramid lake.. real bad! Soon! Thanks for watching!

Yep king fish but that is brackish water there should have tried under the power lines that’s a real good spot over by there!
The power lines in the rio vista area? Thanks..that’s what I found out.. are they any good to eat? They are a pretty fish in the sun for sure.. thanks for watching I appreciate it!

That fish is called a drum

James Mi thanks that is what I found out.. never caught one and I have fished in that area quite a bit.. I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! Tight lines
Looks like a kingfish
Usually full of worms
Hahaha ya if fishing is slow and you want a guaranteed bite stick your hand in the pile worm box
Lol! Yeah I hate messing with those things! But they work!! So you gotta do what you gotta do! Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
i allways have better luck hooking the muds in the back of the tale the stripper take the muds head first
Awesome thanks I have tried that before with minnows.. I try that next time with mudsuckers too! Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching.. tight lines 🎣
Reel Life Fisherman also make sure you have your clicker on your reel so the fish can run with it For a couple of seconds before you set the hook
Yep that i usually do too.. thanks again
