You never showed the leader Length, or if the weight free slides down to a bead against swivel, or Rubber bumper against swivel. Also Pound Braid on your Reel, and Poundage of Leader line. The Beginners need detail info.

That's where my wife and I caught our first surf perch. We were using mussels for bait, that we found at the dock in waldport.

Holy Smokes! Nice work, PK "Last Cast" - I was laughing so loud because I can't remember the last time that was true for me, too. When it's that good it's impossible to just walk away.

[@bryanfisher2104]

Any good spots you can suggest in the cannon beach seaside area? I have tried surf perch fishing and never any luck. I have tried just after low tide.

[@oregonlife]

You can try the Gearhart/Sunset Beach areas. Also, we did well one time at Tierra Del Mar. Hug Point is also decent. Try different tides if you get skunked.

[@PCHlife]

Big fan…learned so much from you. Maybe one day we can fish together. I recently moved to seal rock. I’m a newbie

[@deanballi8177]

Lucky!

[@allanclose4181]

Do you have any secret places ''we'' can fish them in ''my'' boat?

[@danschulte113]

Yesterday 5/5/23 I hit Cape Lookout, Mitchell Beach and the first beach I came to on my way towards Pacific City - where there's a modern house on pilons looking like it should be in Florida lol. Parking underneath it. Anyways - NADA! Ran into one guy who did well at Cape Meares. Have you done the hike down there to Cape Meares? Is it hikable all the way to the South Jetty Barview? Thinkin pump shrimp at low tide near Sand Lake then fish all day on the spit out there!? Whaddaya think about that plan? Problems?

[@oregonlife]

That's a good plan to pump for live sand shrimps. They make good bait. I've been meaning to try Cape Meares one of these times. The place looks good, and is an easy hike. I used to do well at Garibaldi, on the beach north of the jetty. I haven't been back in a long while so I don't know how it is now. Good luck.

[@danschulte113]

Just spent $67 on gear through your links.

[@skullstaxx]

The good thing about "last cast"…there’s so many 😁

[@chiquilin27hz]

What's a good month to fish those kind of fish I oregon coast man?

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

How can you tell if it's a female or a male

[@ox9218]

Ive been out a few times now, all I seem to catch are a few small white sea perch. When and what tide is best and also can you make a full video on how to read the surf if you haven’t already?

[@gamekid8229]

Incoming tide or high tide, it's better when it's incoming tide. When it's low tide, that's when all the small fish come in.

[@theoldbankfisherman]

PK, can you please do a video on frying those bad boys up. Do you fry them the same way you would pan fry bluegill ?

[@oregonlife]

Will do soon.

[@theoldbankfisherman]

@@oregonlife Can you also recommend a app for surf forecasts?

[@oregonlife]

@@theoldbankfisherman I just use this site: www.surf-forecast.com/breaks/Moolack/forecasts/latest/six_day

[@martinramirez6702]

What power and action is your rod? And what size is your reel?

[@oregonlife]

10 ft salmon rod, Medium action rated for 2 oz. 4000 Shimano Vanford on 20# braid.

[@trevon4423]

Wish i could fish up there one of these day.

[@F-N-C]

Hell yeah!! Crushing it!!!

[@darrenmacomb7718]

Im from portland oregon and have been thinking of starting perch fishing. Iv been razer clam digging for years, but might try both soon. Love your videos. I liked + subscribbed, and made a comment. :)

[@sacaircooled]

Hey there! Just moved here to Florence and getting ready to surf fish for the first time. Always been a lake and river fisherman. My question to you is what lb test are you running in this setup?

[@oregonlife]

@@sacaircooled forgot what line it was, but now I use 20# braid. With 12# mono leader

[@sacaircooled]

@@oregonlife just ordered the fish eagle 10’ rod and Shimano vanford 4000xg

[@gsithdogowns]

How far are you casting to catch surf perch? What are 2 things you’d tell someone interested in starting perch fishing??? 🙌🏼

[@robertosnowball6530]

Thanks for the tips and location, just came out and caught many perch and had so much fun! Also live sand shrimp worked pretty good too!

[@azore5763]

Mr. Last Cast is at it again.

[@howardcurtiss3767]

Do you reel like a lure or do you leave it and don’t reel?

[@robertosnowball6530]

What worked best for me was to just cast it and let it sit then slowly bring it in and just repeat that

[@allanclose4181]

I use clam necks above the shrimp, so if they get the shrimp the clam will get them, Clams are tough and stay on good.

[@MrAcuta73]

Going to head down to Newport area Sunday and stay til Monday. Girlfriend wants to go to the beach and I want to escape 93f temps. Gonna try throwing the crab snares for the first time, too.

[@nathanclayton4153]

Thanks PK, really enjoy your help. Always a pleasure, hope your health is good

[@joshcrys]

Blue clouds!? (11:18) What state of mind was that in? Love the video, and living vicariously through you.

[@PNW_Adventures1]

Are you only keeping males?

[@oregonlife]

@@PNW_Adventures1 I tend to keep the males, yes.

[@phillipjgustafson9792]

Oh come on it's always one last cast after all why stop when the fishing's good besides that you get such a beautiful beautiful place to go fishing and it's so much fun I really miss the Oregon coast hoping to get back up there again I used to do a lot of fishing and crabbing in netarts 🤠😎🥰

[@kevinher4010]

Look kinda shallow water, I 'm kinda wonder if the shrimp work for barred surf perch too.

[@fishbizzzz]

A couple of splashes from the surf on that reel and it's history ...

[@wokedog1799]

Never a bad day of fishing for these guys, great fun to land, got some nice fight to them. Make great tacos

[@ronmodafferi8202]

Was the shrimp overwhelmingly more popular than the sand worm?

[@oregonlife]

So far, yes. Every time I put on sand worms along with the shrimp, shrimp wins all the time.

[@ronmodafferi8202]

@@oregonlife PK: That's really interesting and good information. The gulp sandworm is the go to for most all surf perch fishers. Maybe they should switch to using the gulp shrimp. Did you happen to switch those baits between the top and bottom hook? That would "secure/nail down" the test!!

[@MrAcuta73]

@@ronmodafferi8202 I think I'll try just that this weekend. Though I am nowhere NEAR as good at catching perch as PK is.

[@ronmodafferi8202]

@@MrAcuta73 Hi: I'm not sure what the statistical protocol is whether catch one; switch baits locations or catch a couple/3 and than switch bait/locations. I guess it can be overwhelming obvious which works best or you need to catch 8-10. PK definitely showed the shrimp worked best but was it because high hook or low hook effeect?

[@eugenegreen6737]

Where do you park when you fish near Seal Rock?

[@kj9964]

if you get skunked you could go eat sushi at Yuzen...

[@nathanclayton4153]

Thanks, can’t wait to get out there for my first try at this. Good luck

[@yettekovjrwilson4216]

Missed you for awhile PK! Real glad to see you are back in action again! 😀

[@steve-fv2me]

Anyone know the waders he’s using ????

[@SilentBobber91]

How many of those are you allowed to keep? Id like to go give it a shot. Cool video

[@dannmarceau]

"Just one more" how many times have I said that.

[@mr.tuckers2848]

That’s a nice catch but why did you throw it back?? 😢 If any of the Filipinos I know saw you do that, they would be running into the water to grab it. 😂 I’m going to fish for the first time here in Oregon Coast since moving into area. Do you have any recommendations where my son and I could start? We’re just outside the Portland area. Sand Crabs have always been my father’s favorite-free bait. Thanks in advanced!!!

[@SometimesTurtle]

Bro, go to the sand bars that get covered by waves and then momentarily are free of water...I saw so many sand crabs burrowing back down after a wave, but I like to let all nature live and use artificial bait and do catch and release with a single hook. But there are many if that's your thing. I even caught one and gave it a little hello and goodbye lol.

[@allanclose4181]

Use a little cooking oil on them to revive em.

[@3fjn3t]

Are you north or south of Seal rock rv cove?

[@zachfloyd4049]

Can you keep female surf perch in oregon? I tried serching it up but it never gave me an answer

[@oregonlife]

Yes, you can.

[@skytrash1]

"Last Cast! One More!!!" hahaha

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Great fun. One last cast!

[@hosgs14]

Great catch. Fish on!

[@BackFishing]

Nice job PK.

[@paulschmidt1247]

Awesome video PK!!!!

[@debatebore1057]

What bag do you use, PK? Thanks for the videos.

[@oregonlife]

It's a North Face Recon.

[@fishbizzzz]

I started commercial fishing for perch in the early 70's in Pismo. It's so much fun. I don't care for standing in the surf. I use a sand spike and sand crabs. I repair a lot surf fisherman's reels from sand and rust resulting from standing in the water. Good luck!!

[@SometimesTurtle]

How do you repair that? My go to trout rod is now having issues lol...

[@WayneThomas1963]

Good job! Do you feel you have any competition with other KZbin surf anglers in Oregon? I like to watch all the Oregon surf anglers since my health won't let me get out there anymore.

[@edquier40]

The last cast is never enough,
