It was a pleasure spending time with you. The water conditions where not great but we made the best of it and had some laughs especially when we both fell over in the very same place. The even funnier part of that story is a month later I fell on the same Rock.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Definite pleasure Robert, thank you so much for the time spent and the laughs shared. Great conversations and just enjoying the adventure and journey of hunting for the right kind. It wasn't the best week to be out but I think we made the best of it. Hope to do it again!!

Bluefin are 3 miles off Oceanside/Carlsbad… I got a 115 pounder on the yo-Zuri 150 LC jerk bait… My cousin and I landed 3, lost 2 big ones… Broke my reel 😂😂😂 worth it‼️💪🏽 Monday 8/28 in the red tide , close to the full moon 🤷🏽

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Dude I heard. and DANG, that's insane, congrats for sure!!!

[@beansan11]

Your excitement never gets old man.

[@Imjoshuabailey]

That’s something I gotta relearn. It’s ok to skunk 😂

[@BenjieKimFishing]

All part of the game!

[@Peter-86]

Can't skunk if you don't fish It's science.

[@KyleDixon88]

Another good video! The bits of editing are super helpful. Tight lines homie 👍

[@Drago286v]

Super encouraging video Bro......Loved it!! Thanks for sharing with all of us!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Always appreciate you Leonard, thank you. I hope you've been able to get out there!

[@Drago286v]

I did Bro....drop shot a 4" Kietech Fat boy for 8 or 9 hits but nothing stuck. Sand rags everywhere...I think I was getting hit by perch......thanks for the momentum... @@BenjieKimFishing

[@manamike13]

Got that right Benjie.! Just stick with it.. 🤙🏽 nice session You guys had out there.. 😊

[@worf7680]

Nice video as always Benjie! This summer was good for me and my buddy on the luckycraft for halibut. I like ms chovy personally.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Thank you and thank you for the awesome report! MS Anchovy imo might be the best LC color of all time....just a true oldie but goody that everyone should have in their box. Tight lines!

[@manamike13]

Thanks!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

WOW, thank you so much Mike, appreciate you so much brotha!!!

Thanks for the tips!

hwaiting!!!

[@cobramanphil]

Wow..I wish the beaches were that flat up in Ncal/HMB beaches...

[@BenjieKimFishing]

It was pretty darn flat for sure! I wish it was like that where I typically fish too haha

[@CaptainHookhatesBooks]

I went and bought the lucky craft 110 flash minnow and sardine! Hopeit pays off this weekend!!!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Awesome, I hope so as well. Sometimes it works out perfectly, other times you gotta grind it out. I know for sure that if the fish are around, the LC will get bit 100%. Tight lines!

[@ronmodafferi8202]

BK you're always so?? Happily, and knowledgeably sharing your many "secrets" about catching 'butts; with others. Looks like you may have spent 8+ hours beach hopping to catch what you did. That's a tough realization for others who may only have 3-4 hours (or less) to fish and/or search. What's with all the seaweed this year; at least in my more NorCal area?

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Hi Ron, yes this session was 100% a challenge. The water was just nasty that week. My friends told me just a few days prior that the water was crystal clear without a smidge of salad anywhere. And they absolutely smashed the halibut that week. That's fishing for ya imo...obsessing over figuring out the when, where, what, and how. Sometimes we get lucky and enjoy "easy" fishing but more often than not, we gotta work for what we get!

[@TheBroLounge]

I recognize those spots... do you live in the area or made a trip just for the day? I have been getting skunked all summer with the LC, I finally did get a short on the dropshot.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

It was part of a 4 day swing up and down the coast. My friends told me that the previous week the water was crystal clear without a hint of salad. Just part of the game, sometimes it lines up and sometimes it doesn't. Just gotta keep going out there and trying to dial in the right timing.

[@Minhtieu619]

Benjie I go back out 9/13. If u have anything going give me a holler brother. I’d love to hit the surf with u again!!

[@legitbetterthanvinny9725]

Have you ever tried the rocky area at the Dana Point SMCA Benjie? Was thinking of going there once a low tide, sunrise, and free day line up.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

I have not. Love the way you're thinking brotha, gotta strategize and plan for the best always!

[@perhaps_not_]

Im stealing that spot😈

[@Yamamasman]

Any beaches you recommend

[@Chrissurf]

There's no surf fishing in lower San Diego county that I've experienced without TONS OF EEL gRASS AND KELP ETC..this year! It's not even worth it to surf fish around here as far as I'm concerned.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

That's a bummer to hear, thanks for the report

[@GQRS]
