Beach Hopping for Surf Perch Central Coast California Avila Beach, Pismo, Guadalupe

[@willdea2750]

@H2C, the AM sunrise shot in the harbor was money! With the LC110, check hook sharpness or replace the factory hooks with VMC/ Mustad/Owner/Gamakatsu. Remember hooksets are free, grip'em and rip'em!

[@Hook2Cook]

True! I will definitely do that. I will stock up on hooks for sure and replace them

[@Hook2Cook]

And thanks! I packed the drone because I knew the sunrise would be breathtaking catching those birds in the waves was awesome!

[@mluc1111]

Great video thanks for sharing, what is the best length of rods for surf fishing??

[@josephsaucedo8691]

I only live 11/2 miles from the beach your fishing on. it common for them to be in real close. Go early or later in the day at high tide. And yup a long leader and a pumpkin seed worm or geen with red glitter 2 in long worm should do it.

[@dylanhopkins185]

Those drone shots were on point.🔥😎

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks Dylan! We’ll definitely get our redemption

[@AttackDA9]

Great video!! Love how you show the lure and the spot, no need to hide it! Keep up the great work. Sub!

V.Films on super public beaches, there’s really no point because of the landmarks! I want to make my videos educational and entertaining. Thanks for joining in my journey by subscribing!

[@AttackDA9]

Landmark tells a lot but for us central valley guys, we dont get to come out often so location really helps. Wish you the best on this journey and keep it up

[@Hook2Cook]

V.Films stay tuned I have a lot planned! Going out Wednesday. Videos usually come out Thursday or Friday so click the bell notification ;)

[@AttackDA9]

Nice and done

[@MoreThanFishing]

Nice video! Maybe your rod is too light to set the hook and also using light rod when you hook up on a striper, will tend to bounce back or recoil more and you’ll get a slack on your line, unless you loosen your drag and play with the fish till it get tired. 😉

[@MoreThanFishing]

Btw I like your channel kabayan! New subscriber here!!

[@Hook2Cook]

Oh wow! thanks Pare. Welcome to my channel too. I definitely wanted to tire it out. There was so much in play with that fish. You're right. the light setup couldn't drive the hooks home... I will target them specifically soon with heavy gear! Cant wait!

[@EthanPriceOutdoors]

Great video. Nice perch!!!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

hugeeeee perch! nice video !

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks Rodney! Losing that striper was a heartbreaker, but it's OK.

[@rocketsurgeon_]

Hey Edward, if your up in Templeton any time soon I have a Japanese seabass rod with a little more backbone that you can try out. Will easily drive the hooks into a striper's jaw, yet still soft enough for perch fishing. Better yet, meet on the coast one these weekends. Great videos by the way, subscribed!

[@Hook2Cook]

I appreciate it very much! My fiancé has family in templeton! I just may take you up on that offer! Thanks for the comment and subscription! 🙏🙏🙏

[@Hook2Cook]

Stay tuned! Today’s trip was amazing!

[@dknycplot]

Hey it’s Dashk from fishbrain! Great vid!

[@jimmykim6029]

Great video. I am heading to Avila beach tomorrow with my family. Can you recommend good spot for surf fishing around Avila Beach area?

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks! Avila isn’t bad. Pismo is good. Just south of Avila.

[@Hook2Cook]

This trip was definitely a learning experience. We could have continued to stay in that one spot and fished in more thoroughly, but with a limited time decided to go to A different beach. Once we arrived to the next spot, it wasn’t an improvement so we ended up going to Guadalupe beach where our friends were catching fish but we simply ran out of time there. Oh well have you guys had challenging days like this? Tell me about them. Make me feel better

[@KIRS559]

you ever run a Carolina rig for perch? i run it with either 2 sand worms or ill throw a little curly tail on the back hook works wonders!

[@tysonplays9581]

🔥🔥🤙🏻

[@Hook2Cook]

Pennsylvania Angler yes! Thank you so much! This support really encourages me, especially on trips like this. I almost didn’t even stitch a video together for this one...

[@tommyk4242]

Shuda let dat striper fight a lil bit😂😂👍

[@Hook2Cook]

Tommy K if anything the drag was too loose and it fought too much

[@ClearWater7.62]

Sorry older video but how's the bite in Avila compared to Monterey for stripers and perch?

[@everetbowles5533]

You lose a lot of fish with a parabolic rod like that. the softness makes it hard to set the hook on a fish with a tough mouth, like a striper.

[@Hook2Cook]

Everet Bowles I can totally see that. Not enough to drive the hook home like my heavy action bass gear... I’ve caught tons of striper and I can see how my heavy action rods never had this issue

[@mmfruitveg]

Its never 32 degrees at Avila........geeeeez

[@shantiamagasu9614]

I want to do this every day before work! Haha

[@Hook2Cook]

Lol when the bites hot gotta do what you gotta do

[@shantiamagasu9614]

@@Hook2Cook Going to be in the area in a few weeks, definitely bringing the rod and reel.

[@Hook2Cook]

@@shantiamagasu9614 not a bad idea! hopefully the wind calms down by then! it's been blowing earlier than usual
