Thank you so much!

I'm a big fan of the Carolina rig myself. This was a great informative video thanks much.

[@jwestfishing3229]

I appreciate that! Thank you so much for the comment!

nice video, def taking it next time im going beach fishing

I am fully with you, those are the two ways I use exclusively with a favor to the Carolina for more productive especially in a tough day. It is easier to rig than dropshot too, which makes a huge difference in a short fishing window in the early morning and early evening. As you mentioned, dropshot is easier to cast and more sensitive, so I still use it as well. What I do though, is to add a sliding bobber without a stop knot, so I can cast a country mile without having to use a heavy sinker to hurt the natural presentation. Of course the bobber should have some weight by itself, slightly heaver than the sinker. Otherwise the bobber won't catch up with the sinker during the casting. I don't put the sinker on the main line, instead in the leader with a stop knot between it and the hook.

That is a cool rigging method! I will have to try it! Thank you so much for the comment!

Wish I could get a diagram of "What I do though, is to add a sliding bobber without a stop knot, so I can cast a country mile without having to use a heavy sinker to hurt the natural presentation.

Great video. We will be in Morro Bay this coming week, so it will be a perfect time to get the surf gear out and give it a try. It's been a couple years. Thanks for the video inspiration!

You are very welcome! Thank you for watching and for commenting!

Great video, thanks a ton

Those sand worms might be good around the Chesapeake Bay. I use Gulp swimming mullet, shrimp, and jerk shads all the time for flounder. Jig heads and Gulp are hard to beat for flounder, redfish, trout, and just about everything bites them. The folks that fish for spots and croakers might do well with the sand worms, and if there are 4 or 5" versions they could work on flounder. I don't think I've seen them here.

You’d love the beach fishing in Australia

[@jwestfishing3229]

I bet I would!!!

[@mrJay-hg6ep]

I've tried camo, but haven't got anything. Just got natural color the other day. Hope that works.

[@jwestfishing3229]

I have caught more fish than I can count on the camo. I've also caught them with red, motor oil, and pumpkin seed colors.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Just tie the hook on first. Then you can tie on the leader the right way up. Passing the tag thru makes the knot weak.

My pleasure

[@SoCal_Living]

great info!

[@jwestfishing3229]

Thanks!

[@Blueskies-h3e]

I didn’t even know Bolsa China had a jetty 👍

[@Blueskies-h3e]

I e fished dog beach and Sunset mainly. Bolsa China too but never seen a jetty. Maybe I stick too close where I parked. I’m going out once the water temperature comes up. I hate the way my feet feel when they’re warming up 😆

[@carlosespinoza-fh4fo]

For me the beads is more to protect the knot. From the weight. That’s why I use the rubber ones.

[@jwestfishing3229]

Agreed.

[@ia6980]

What do you think about 6 inch sandworm for perch?

[@jwestfishing3229]

I never had much luck with them. Caught a few fish. I ended up cutting them in half.

[@ia6980]

@@jwestfishing3229 i see, thank you!

[@vastlcedits]

Will medium heavy rod work for these?

[@jwestfishing3229]

Yes, it will. It would be harder to cast and not as sensitive......

[@vastlcedits]

@@jwestfishing3229 maybe a Carolina rig should work

[@jwestfishing3229]

@vastlc with a heavier weight it should.

[@coffeedollsvp]

What months are good for surffishing

[@jwestfishing3229]

All year round... The perch seem to be bigger in the wintertime..

[@Blueskies-h3e]

Is that the morning sun?

[@jwestfishing3229]

Yes?

[@gman4674]

Have you tried this gulp worm in freshwater ?

[@jwestfishing3229]

I have not. I imagine it would work.
