First time surf fishing! no skunk, all on a kastmaster. Striped Bass

Caught my first striper today in Watsonville, ca

What a great way to spend some tine. It's not that expensive at all. Just go to a big box store and get a cheap rod/ reel and some line. Then a few lures and you're all set. Find a beach and go for it. About the worst that happens is you're outside, in the fresh air soaking in nature. The best is you get a few nice fish.

Try Manresa beach on a high tide right in front of seascape resort. One of the best spots in the bay for striped bass and big barred surf perch

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

What's better for surf fishing between a kastmaster and diamond jig??

[@anthonyharper8161]

KastMaster more casting , lots of fun. Try fishing for blue fish with KastMaster. Amazing hits .

[@ivcho_ot_prikazkite]

What is the rod and reel ?

[@yyuan622]

Do you use mono or braid? and do you use leader line?

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

I use 30lb braid to a snap swivel directly connected to the kastmaster

[@moquant947]

That's more realistic fishing more casting thanhitting, give a better sense of fishing. Great drone shots. 👌

[@juanrosales7686]

What type of bait do you use?

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

This day I used a lure, a 1oz gold kastmaster. I here that stripers will also bite on sand crabs and anchovies if you want to use a hi low rig and bait and wait too.

[@juanrosales7686]

@@pacific_cliffs2363 what do you recommend me to use?

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

@@juanrosales7686 I would try both. you can fish two rods. You can set up one rod with a Hi-Low rig or fish finder rig with some cut anchovy or sand crabs, and on the other rod you can cast lures like a kastmaster or calissa/ flash minnow on the other rod. Good luck! keep at it and you will get em, the key is to be patient and consistent.
