Light Tackle Surf Striper on the SP Minnow!

[@mikeblitzen]

this is how my fishing for stripers usually goes, minus the catching part.

[@Abuhummus]

LMFAO same here

[@weekendfisherman8072]

I caught a 19” striper on a 8’6” ML rod - it was fun battling with the fish in the surf.

[@danielg6589]

You’re back again! And so are the Stripers! I was just fishing Santa Cruz a couple weeks ago but only got small perch

[@rublizz]

Whats up Daniel, do you think there are any stripers in socal?

[@danielg6589]

@@rublizz I’m not too familiar with SoCal fishing so I’m not sure if they’re there also unfortunately

Nice catch Everet! Good practice before Jun's tournament. good luck if you go.

[@salcalderon2125]

Perfect eating size Everett! Small flatties in that area last week. Gonna be a good season! Great vid! 🤙🏼🎣

Nice striper Everet and good warm up for the 2021 MTF tournament on June 12th.

[@pwayne3580]

Yes!

[@manseraoutdoors]

Dang always in Game mode in your videos keep up the good work brothA!

[@RyJitsoup]

Looks like the SP Rockaway. Fun rod for Stripers. 👌🎣

[@FishDonkey626]

One of my favorite all around. State with me everywhere

[@izjkfbocjkansjk]

From your experience, which is better, low tide or high tide for halibut fishing?

[@cobramanphil]

Were those the stock hooks on the lure(one was bent by the striper)?

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

Surf Caster it's great to see you back again in action with videos. You always fish dim light ..daybreak and/or sunset. Your probability of catching fish increases greatly then. WHY? Fish like avoiding avian predators. Your low surf and wave frequency where you catch fish is unparalleled, anywhere! Is there any other place that produces with such calm waters and fish? If so, WHERE? Glad you're back in the surf. Looking forward to your next success story. Do you still bike to the fishing grounds? ris

[@jasenalapati665]

Greetings . Do you like the Sp better than the SST ?

[@1stardragon]

Roll up and cast 🤘🤘🤘

[@SeasideRoots]

always killin it!

[@rwc408]

I’ve been looking into this rod. How well does the medium light handle the sp minnow? That would be the heaviest lure I throw on it but wasn’t sure if the medium would be better.

[@frs.franco]

Hey bro where did you buy your rod from cant find it anywhere

[@sfunderground1548]

nice work bro

[@christianchilee]

Do you use straight braid when fishing with LC and for drop shot?

[@RadBadBoys]

Great catch! how far are you able to cast out off the beach?

[@Norcal808]

Nice fish bro dat looked like a good fight 👍🏽 I’m too chicken to go lighter than 30lb. braid but you made me a believer haha 😁🤙🏽

[@rickpetersen41]

Sixty three been hooking strippers for a while tech has changed in a big way within my time! ended up sticking with 17 mono! That’s just my opinion. It’s been on my real for 56 years it works pretty good..

[@ShawnLor]

Give us a pros/cons about the rod.

[@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231]

I have a video on it

[@DieHardFishing]

Nice fish man!

[@fishingtimeletsgo598]

Nice one👍🎣

[@augustharper3121]

Nice video as always. How cold is the water up there? Looks like you were shaking pretty good while bending back the hook on the Lucky Craft!

[@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231]

Too cold

[@SovereignLivingNYC]

Love the vid! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@813sharky]

Where was this at santa cruz i fish the whole area and never seem to catch any

[@zombi3907]

I grew up there and won't post directly where this is but it is very obvious from the video if you pay attention

[@TestBot4231]

Google maps sattelite know exactly where this is. Great white hotspot

[@jaychino1621]

Nice Catch! Incoming or outgoing tide?

[@Exploremorefishing]

Don't think I've ever seen a striper with both vertical lines and horizontal lines

[@pasolesoup7430]

High tide?

[@nickluengo3066]

Any tips on how to cast the lucky craft farther? I feel like I’m not getting out far enough

[@Ivan-ve5qd]

I would first question what rod you're using, then go from there.

[@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231]

what he said

[@toeknee1808]

And light line!

[@Tonymoss44]

Nice video. Was that incoming tide?

[@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231]

right at high tide

[@elijahf111]
