Everywhere from south OC to south LA.

Tides run off moon phases and alternate every other week. Tides low 1 week mean high Tides the following. Swell/waves have a lot to do with moving the sand around. 1 spot could look mid-tide one week and super low ride the next if larger waves come in and move the sand in. I catch fish here on ALL tides. I focus on presentation at any particular location. Tide doesn't determine WHERE I fish, but it does determine what I use. This footage wasn't from yesterday, but it's not old either. It's recent.

My main focus is ALWAYS food source. If no food around, predatory fish won't be around. It's not quite to this extreme, but if you don't see finbait in the area, might as well find somewhere else to fish. This particular spot is a little different...

@@StartFishingToday thanks man I appreciate you. I actually just learned something lol

Not every time.

Glad I was able to help! Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍

It's wherever you believe it is 👍

I have no reason to argue...

Just keep casting. It will happen for you soon! If you don't see finbait boiling around, there are still fish, just in much fewer quantities - making ithe catching few and far between.

What rig are you using?

@@mauricetorres9351 dropshot , jigs , lucky craft. Slow retrieving

The best place to park is the closest you can get to where you want to fish... For scent, it really doesn't matter as long as it smells like something edible - even hot sauce from a taco place will work. It just needs to be enough to convince the fish that the lure is something to eat.

Man what a jerk huh. Wow.

Fantastic! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

You're welcome! 👍

Thanks!

Excellent! For the pigments at Barlow's, I would recommend SKUs 407032-901 and 407032-931. I also use SKUs 407038-923 and 407038-922.

@@StartFishingToday thank you is it quart hard plastic that you use

I buy the gallon, but I have an old quart bottle that I fill up with the gallon bottle. Easier to pour.

Thanks for watching!

I don't know who that is personally. But, I just looked up that UN on IG and it appears he was on the trip as well.

I fish about 340 days per year and I don't catch fish on EVERY session....Point being, keep going and keep casting. You'll get em' .

Nah. As long as you know "how" to fish a crowded open party sport boat with up to 35 new "friends", your "spot" is anywhere on the boat.

Thanks for watching! Hopefully you get to get some soon too!

Okay...and who are you?

Absolutely!

Okuma Celilo 7'6" (2-piece) light.

It all depends on the size of the mold. When I'm doing 1 or just a couple 3-4" swimbaits or per mold, usually 1 - 1.25 cups of plaster will do for that size.

About 2-3ft.

It’s already overfished

Thanks!

Thanks for watching! Hopefully you see something that helps you get bit as well 👍

Topsmelt is what I (and most others here) use for live finbait, not jacksmelt. Topsmelt or just smelt are 2-7" long usually. Jacsmelt or surf smelt can get upwards of 19" long.

Yes it was!

1. What were you expecting to see based on the video title? I literally had FUN fishing with the ripper swimbaits I made/make, tell you in the video captions the links for materials to make are in the description an end the video with...the video I made showing HOW TO MAKE THE RIPPER SWIMBAITS on your own! 2. Thanks for watching! It really helps us out 👍

I do not sell anything that I make. I only make it to use myself. All the links for the materials used are in the description. For the 1/2oz round jighead that I use on my 2" rippers, those are noted in the description as "Jighead Lead Mold - Standard Round Head". It will be stock # 473106. For the jig hooks, I use either size 1/0 or 2/0 Victory Jighead Hooks. they will be stock # 528310 or 528311. Lee 10lb Lead Melting Pot is 453015. All from Barlow's Tackle.

When using plaster, there are enough slight imperfections in the mold to where no intentional vent holes are needed. But, if you decide you need one, I would make a very narrow air escape at the end of the tail. You don't need much. As you force the plastic into the mold, you will see one main/big air bubble come out the top as that is the only spot for the air to escape. Once that air bubble comes out, the plastic backfill that small amount of empty space.

@@StartFishingToday thanks for the response

If it was not an active sardine, I would have. Sometimes, they just need a reset so-to-speak. They get shocked when slamming onto the water surface and don't swim the right direction. Usually, when you recast, they figure it out. If not on the 2nd cast right away, I'll put a new one on.

@chihhu5751 Is what supposed to float? The lure? The swimbait has a lead jighead and sinks. The jerkbaits depend on which you get. Some are built to float, some are built to sink and others are built to suspend at a specific depth in the water column.

@TheTangledAngler Right side in this video. It is a velcro wrap that you can put on either side of a backpack strap. amzn.to/3A4FhGa

Glad to hear!

Thanks and form Aus? AWESOME!!! No, I have not used silicone. Plaster is so cost-effective and works great for me, for both lead and plastics. Silicone is a bit more expensive.

Unless you keep the plaster mold above the melted point of the plastisol, yes, you will need the injector - if you have to fill small voids/crevices in the mold. If you pour straight from the measuring glass to the mold, the plastisol will start to thicken/harden well before it has a chances to fill those small voids. You need the injector to quickly force the plastisol into those small voids before it has a chance to start cooling. With larger lures that don't have sharp angles or small crevices to get into, then pouring could work.

Yes.

Yes, I usually use some type of cooking oil spray when I want a shiny batch. This was just to show the differences/similarities with each mold type.

They are interesting sea creatures, that's for sure.

If you want to test the strength of your knots and line, sharks and bat/butterfly rays will do it!

You right. Maybe it's best you stay home...

He saved them from drowning

Thanks. I hate snags or bycatches, but the rays and sharks do put up a great fight on light rods and 10-15lb test.
