Just watched this again I think 3rd time? Good stuff indeed.
Caught my first Corbina a few years ago, they are sucha. Wonderful fish. Caught it with a fly on conventional gear. Still trying to get my first on fly gear.
Ahhh indeed, for those who sight fish these guys, it's truly a game of cat and mouse and they truly are a jewel of our coast. Getting em on the fly is not easy but certainly possible as some of the OG's like Glenn wack em at an astonishing level of skill.
As a fly fisherman this video was so incredibly useful. I just started surf fishing on the fly about a year ago and have only managed to grab about a dozen surf perch. Thank you for this video
Awesome video! Ran into Glenn yesterday on the sand in HB hunting corbina.
Benji spot on with live smelt for halibut.. almost no skill involved, my buddies don’t seem to understand that anyone can bait and wait
Benjie, this was an absolutely great streaming UTube show. Your invitees were great. They were super passionate about surf fishing and passed on some excellent How -To information but maybe more importantly they stressed the importance of being conservation minded with our fish resources. And lastly some credit to you....You are an exceptionally upbeat person and very talented MC!
Thank you Ron always. I trust you are well and always appreciate hearing from you sir.
Just out curiosity, I got an email from you awhile back that I responded to but I don't believe I heard back from you. Just wanted to make sure you had gotten my response. I don't want to make it seem like I didn't get back to you.
@@BenjieKimFishing Benjie: I did received and appreciate your comment. I will be in USD area 1st week Aug for a short turnaround trip. I may get a chance to wet a line on our return in the Morro Bay area. "Sir" is way too formal for me. I would do hand stands just for a "Ron" from you. Best!!
When I was 8yo my dad made me a mini pump. He would sit in the car at low tide while I pumped ghost shrimp in Huntington harbor. Very cool to see surf fishing is still alive.
Haha dad's putting their kids to work!! It's interesting for me that some of the best finesse surf fishermen I currently know are also avid offshore guys targeting pelagics. Shows me that the thrill of the hunt and finding that bite has different, yet very similar challenges in each context.
Great info Benji and guys! 🤙🏽😎
Thank you Angel!!
TY for all the great advice Benjie!
Definitely great advise !!
Thanks Randy, I was learning right alongside you during this one!
What a rad fireside chat! I've been in SoCal for a year, and have had some luck with the Corbina this summer on a carolina rig. I have no excuse now...going to get my 5wt rigged up and go bean hunting!! Thanks to Benjie, Graham and Glenn for taking the time to share the knowledge and the stoke!! YEW! Tight lines!!
Thanks Adam for the positive stoke here man, it means so much! And wow, idk how these fly slayers do it man, probably the purest way to fish these guys. One of these days maybe I'll make the leap. Tight lines man, would love to hear if/when you get one to eat on the fly!
Awesome video man! I can't believe I wasted 5 years in SOCAL fishing squid off piers for mackerel. I'm a pretty die hard fly guy now, but really enjoy the content you're putting out. Keep up the great work man!
haha thanks so much Nick!! Dude, piers for Macks, bays for spotties, rays, whatever, its all about getting out there and enjoying our amazing fishery, so its all good!
But yes, so much amazing and diverse ways to enjoy our fishery and if you haven't already, hunting some sight fished corbina on the fly might be one of the pinnacles of SoCal waters!
Happy New Year to you brotha!
Love this video. Just sight fished my first Corbina in the skinny today! Caught them before but never sight fishing them. Such an informative video and it taught me a lot. Thanks Benjie, Glenn and Graham!
Wow huge congrats! It is SO REWARDING to get one while sight fishing. One of the greatest fishing thrills for me personally.
To all anglers and none anglers, don't discard trash anywhere other than at the appropriate containers. Seeing more and more trash out there. I've personally witnessed "fishermen" dumping trash right where they were fishing. incredible to have to confront "grown men" about this while on the sand....
Just stumbled on your site because I searched for Glenn Ueda, a friend. Great TH-cam spot. Thanks
Thank you for putting this video together.
That was a great video. I wish I could have caught it live!
Thanks for watching Jimmy, you're the man brother!!
good stuff.... so much love for the tug 🤙 yeah!
Great episode, Benjie! Keep up the cool content.
JAMES! I hope you are well brother. Thank you for the kind stoke!!
Benji how can people be mean to you bro you are a ball of joy and excitement “minute 24:07” this is going to help me a lot. I am doing exactly what you described at the beginning of the video. Walking the beach trying to learn how to find these 🐠. I would love to find them but I can’t. If it’s possible I would love to go out with you one day and fish. I just started a channel to document my experience with fishing. But it has been super frustrating, almost to the point that I want to quit lol. But yeah let me know brotha. Ok enough with the long essay 📖
Hey bro, I really appreciate your encouragement brother. Email me, maybe we can set something up.
@@BenjieKimFishing ok definitely bro, looking for your email.
If I saw one of these guys at the beach I would put away my gear and just follow and watch them.
welcome to Lompoc Ca.
On my bucket list is to catch a stripper in the South Bay. Have you seen many caught in this area?… or do you have to go further north?
I have not, but I'm inclined to believe that they are around. There are more stripers in our waters than most people think, but I've never targeted them nor have I gotten lucky enough to get one.
At the same time, Stripers are a NorCal fish. Starting from around Monterey up to the Bay area, they can be very abundant when they're running. Would be the most logical area to target them imo.
What up
The life of a fish whether stocked trout or wild should be ethical when handling them. Life force is the same in both fish stocked or wild. I don’t keep fish from my fly fishing experience but however if someone is eating the fish they catch is more respectful to me in the cycle of life than someone pulling fish out of their environment for pleasure (sport fishing, fly fishing). To me a fisherman that disrespected the sport is the one that bring the fish to the bank and drop the fish to the sand causing mayor damage to the fish eyes and skin. A fish ones caught should be handled as a baby with tenderness and don’t dump them into the water either.🙏
Benji hit me up on Facebook for some info ...... I want to share with you......hit some cows 🐄 this year......
