My 2nd Legal Halibut of 2024!!! |Seal Beach Jetty| (Catch, Clean, Cook) |SoCal Fishing|

[@abelrodrigues5051]

This guy is an Awesome and Very Humble Fisherman, very Professional and Classy. You see a lot of Clowns fishing our Local Waters that don’t Represent So-Cal in a Positive Manner. Something tells me, you’re gonna be the Next Dan Hernandez for SoCal!

[@FishingWithJRome]

@@abelrodrigues5051 Hey thanks bro, I really appreciate that and I’m just continuing to learn and share what I learned along the way 🤝🏾🙌🏾

[@mtyhntr49]

DANG, Back in the 70's i used to fish the jetty with homemade splashers made from broom handles and catch 15 to 20lb bonita all day long . Water was a constant 75 degrees from that powerplant right up the channel. So many memories there. Thanks for reminding me. Used whole frozen anchovies right in front of harbor patrol station at night flylined for monster spotted bay bass also. Steal fishing at the no fishing signs on the railings. 😊

[@FishingWithJRome]

Thanks for sharing and I appreciate you watching, I gotta give it a try 🙌🏾

[@RacerXgeneration]

Yup those were the days , my pop's (rip) would take me there , Bonitas all day long long . Either off the jetty or the bridge we would see bonita trailing the hooked one. So many great memories, back to back catches and they were beefy bonitas 🎣

[@FishingWithJRome]

@@RacerXgeneration sounds like great times, everything so fished out now days.

Barracuda also back in the 70's!

Hello Mr. J-Rome Awesome catch and nice video!. Maybe in your next video you can explain how you prepare or tie your rig, the tackle you used and length, knot you do fir your setup. I tried different way to rig it but no success yet. On your video you made it simple to catch a fish. Nice job!! Thanks

[@FishingWithJRome]

Thank you, I really appreciate it and yes I’ll definitely get around to making a video explaining everything. I’m not the best at tutorials but I’ll give it my all because several people have requested it 😅. Thanks again for watching and I’ll make that a priority 🙌🏾

[@leegregory5201]

Back in the early 90’s I was working in Santa Cruz after the earthquake, I’m from Utah, we were doing a lot of fishing from the Santa Cruz pier. To shorten the story instead of putting bait on the bottom like locals we started using slip bobber set up usually used for walleye fishing. The water was somewhere around 17’ anyway we would drift out away from the pier on the tide, we used live bait about a foot off the bottom sometimes we’d need to switch sides of the pier to get the drift right. As a result we started out catching more halibut than the local guys it caused quite the stir on the pier, (guys from the desert out fishing the locals)the guys kept telling us you can’t catch halibut on a steelhead rig! We tried to show them it wasn’t a steelhead rig, it was a walleye rig. Some of them got it most didn’t. My partner later wrote a letter about it to Infisherman Magazine and they published it, sorry I don’t remember the year or issue. It worked great for us Utah boys. Should work for you! Give it a try! Good luck

[@FishingWithJRome]

Great story and how cool, yeah I might have to give it a try one day 🙌🏾

[@wiseman7597]

[@FishingWithJRome]

@@greggallego3111 Yes you do I believe but the pier doesn’t require a fishing license

[@walden6272]

Piers and Jetty does not require fishing license. As long as you are in the Jetty. But if you move out to the shore to fish, you might need a license.

[@FishingWithJRome]

@@walden6272 The regulation is not clear cut on what a jetty is defined as so fishing w/o a license is still taking a risk. You’re fine fishing the piers but the “jetty” can be a different story. My best advice is just to purchase a fishing license, esp if you consider yourself a fisherman and fish more than once a year 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@walden6272]

@@FishingWithJRome I agree that it's best to buy a fishing license just to support Fish&Game and fish nurseries that stock fishes in lakes. Generally if the area is designated as a jetty and you're on the rock area extended out of the shores. That would be the jetty area. It is define in the book.
