What's in my SURF FISHING BACKPACK to keep my catch fresh

[@HAcera-hs3hw]

Thanks for the vid! I use an AO cooler backpack. Not too much tackle storage but side pockets hold leader spools, main pocket with a single tackle tray, and the outer mesh for miscellaneous. The insulation keeps the cold from the ice pack away from your body.

[@miassaltlife7398]

Omg! I needed this video so much, I always bring to much stuff. Thank you for all your hard work

[@Hook2Cook]

You are so welcome!

[@erth2ingrid]

As i do too Mia. . I'm always looking to have extra pockets for lunch and Champagne for that victory catch

[@JR-bw3tr]

Thanks again Ed , always keeping it a foundation based tutorial, I always appreciate these episodes, so helpful... 🤝

[@m.j.greathouse456]

I have been learning how you fish the surf. Thanks a bunch for lunch kid. I have a tip for you. Do a taste test Hook 2 Cook. Before you put them in your mesh bag take out all the insides….and scrape out the red line along the backbone. Have a Test Test Show and don’t forget the red line on the backbone.

[@geraldsilveira8369]

Awesome information. Keep doing what you're doing.. love the archery glove. I used mechanics gloves with finger tip cut off.

[@youngun1978]

Thanks for all the helpful tips and info!

[@gearlist]

Good stuff, looks like you got it really dialed in. Do you keep everything else - phone/wallet/etc. - on you?

[@Hook2Cook]

In my pockets under my waders or a dry bag or ziplock

[@jimvalim1567]

You could have gone to Oso Flaco. Going there, you definitely need a backpack! Now that's a good hike! 30 to 40 minutes from the parking lot to the beach!

[@Hook2Cook]

Thought about it… but we like to get on the beach fishing at sunrise. If we would’ve tried that, it would’ve been 9:30 by the time we got our lines wet- by then we’d have a short window before the wind picked up!

[@ejaylewis2142]

Good day sorry for being late but I gotta question what brand bag is that yur using am looking for a bag to carry to Belize to do some surf fishing thanks for the video

[@VISUAL-LY]

Awesome meeting you at the street fair bro!! I had a great time out there on the west coast!

[@Hook2Cook]

Likewise! Hope your wife had a great birthday out here! Did you get to fish?

[@VISUAL-LY]

@@Hook2Cook yessir! She also got to meet up with her cousins that she hasn’t seen in a 3 years. I def got the opportunity to fish! Made a video with Matts that might be coming out soon🙌

[@jamesedk]

Main Street Fishing is Awesome!

[@thelinecook]

Awesome stuff Edward a good bag is a must!! Thanks for the breakdown. Perch were biting good 👌. That bag has a ton of storage.

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks Steve! The biggest gamechanger was definitely the water bottles for me

[@thelinecook]

@@Hook2Cook for sure! I actually started using a backpack meant to hold cans like a cooler to hold fish while I’m on the surf. Not nearly as much of storage as your bag. But it is insulated and keeps fish cold with an ice pack In there. I use it when I pack light for fluke. Cali covers have been great to reduce space too!

[@randylal]

Edward you remind if myself growing up in cencal but difference. Fudged so often I’d rarely see anyone on my sand pounding mission you know 2024, y’all gonna see people at normal state beaches other than long walk near castroville you feel me right

[@salcalderon2125]

Nice fish Edward! My backpack is set up pretty similar to yours except for the frozen water bottles. Gonna have to copy that tip! Going out later this evening so better start freezing the water bottles! 👍🏼

[@Hook2Cook]

how'd you do! and yea, I was so stoked when that water bottle idea clicked!

[@cjsoutdoors4412]

This is the kind of stuff I like to see, Packs, seasonal clothing, fishing gear, as I'm just reintroduceing myself to surf perch fishing after many years. Thanks for putting this vid together, appreciate it. ✌️🇺🇲🎣

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks! If you have any other suggestions keep them coming! Planning on doing a video on what makes a wading jacket good for the surf

[@cjsoutdoors4412]

@@Hook2Cook ..Perfect, would love to see that one too! ✌️🎣

[@EricElPescador]

Thanks for the video

[@m.j.greathouse456]

I like the backpack tip

[@SquadFishing]

Soo sick ed!, I'm doing a bag video too, my current one did its job know it's time to up grading the land base rock fish bag

[@Hook2Cook]

Hell yea that’d be good for someone who doesn’t do it often. Helps planning and not carrying too much!

[@cubanb805]

Every Tuesday it’s closed till noon, it used too be close all day back in the day. It’s sad what Guadalupe beach has become, sometimes it’s nearly impossible to get a parking spot at the beach, haven’t been there in like 3-4 yrs

[@Hook2Cook]

Agreed. Lots has changed

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Good tips brotha 👍👍👍

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks B!

[@fishingstix610]

Will the fish blood attract sharks?

[@randylal]

Yup probably really well cause that blood will make them curious when’s the last time a great white smelled barred surf perch blood ? Tip to the surfer bros YALL fish 2 I got freinds who surf twice a day but king story short dont surf when the surf fisherman are taxing fish there the fish struggling the blood recipe for one hell of an attack TGE blood will make them more on target, Hungry so no mistake bite , the bites will be to eat cause THE curiosity I think .

[@Theuplaoder]

That gate looked like Guadalupe.

[@sqhunter65]

Nice video

[@coconutcowboy5768]

I always camp the pier i always bring To much 🤙

[@412N3L]

How many oz weight u used for that rod?

[@Hook2Cook]

Up to 2oz

[@sqhunter65]

Could you send me a link for Cali covers

[@Hook2Cook]

Calicovers.net

[@papaleroycooks5856]

Is it my imagination, or is it raining Sun flower seeds at Oceano? Lol!

[@Hook2Cook]

Dang papa leroy! Good eye! No wonder you guys spot wild game from 1000 yards out!

[@RayRay-zc2ed]

What reel is that? Is it a van staal vr 50?

[@Hook2Cook]

Vr75b

[@RayRay-zc2ed]

@@Hook2Cook thank you

[@MrSeminole77]

Add a first aid kit. Sucks when you cant stop bleeding 30 -45 mins from the car. "Quick stop bleed" gel, gause, med tape and a few bandaids can keep you fishing rather than end your day. Takes up less room than a wallet.

[@Hook2Cook]

Smart

[@edgarnolasco5627]

That’s wassup

[@waassup]

My biggest issue with walking so far to surf fish is pee, wader and gears on and all. How do you take care of it without privacy? Just go? Thanks.

[@Hook2Cook]

Haha if you’re wearing waders there’s no way way to do it! I just be careful not to drink too much water so I have to pee less often

[@jimmyg3855]

Brief reliefs

[@johnhubbard6262]

Fish, Did they just say they were going to rip my lungs out, wait now I'm to little? first time I am glad to hear that. Just wait until I grow up, I'ma really smash that dudes little fish. Gonna show him. Next year 15" perch hits the bag. R.I.P. tasty fish.
