My "Go-To" Rock Fishing Setup For BIG Rockfish (Black Sea Bass) From The Jetty

[@FishandForage]

I think consistent luck = proof it aint luck ;) Those things do look sexy!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Haha that’s a good point, I’d have to agree. I just like these because for one, they catch some nice black rockfish but two, there are so many other species I’m gonna be using these for... “sexy” is on point haha

[@FishandForage]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW I'm just waiting for one of these coastal videos of yours to have a MONSTER ling catch!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

I think I need to get away from some of the shore fishing areas I’ve been in for that.. there are a few spots I really want to try blasting out something heavy. Give me some time lol it’s bound to happen. I loaded up with videos in late April so I’ve just been relaxing the last week and a half (FINALLY)

[@alex111683]

Honestly it's what you're confident with is the best lure. Literally anything that works for bass, will work for rockfish. I think the reason you're having such a great season is because you're in the right place at the right time. You've gotten into some good black schools in your last couple videos.

[@svtruthandpups.6218]

I caught my first 3 rock bass at newport south jetty.. your channel definitely helped me figure out the process. It is a lot like smallmouth fishing a river with lots of current and boulders.

[@tanhvan1]

That's the storm jig I used when I first fish for seabass, it works great...came home ordered more.....

[@kevinwest4488]

i thumbed up... as soon as i saw you put on an heavier/ bigger bait.. those wild eyes are it sir.. .. the carolina rigs i like as well..

[@andrewcrocher5932]

Exited to watch another one of your videos. Thanks for taking the time and creating awesome fishing content as usual.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Thanks for the support! I may not share exact locations but I’m all for sharing the rest. Enjoy and good luck out there

[@davidmays3333]

Great job again Nick!!! Keep them coming! Thanks for the great info again.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Thanks Dan! I’ve still got 5 more videos ready to go. Thanks for watching!

[@joshuaspears8652]

Thank you for these videos! You put me on some NICE black rockfish!

[@rockytalkndawoods3057]

Lmao, best outro shot you've done mate!!! Looks delicious out there on the jetties!!

[@chrismiles9667]

Nick, you’re killing it man keep up all the great work I watch all the videos I’m a huge huge fisher men

[@kingoftweaks]

Have you watched King Slew's video? He uses very basic cheap jigheads and soft lures, and he always limit out with huge black bass and lingcods. He's in boat though. I'm on jetty only, use cheap basic soft lures and sinkers, and I almost always catch more than 5 bass and 2 lingcods including big ones. So, you really do not need such fancy lures with realistic eyes.

[@StorageAuctionSnipers]

Jeez, I need to get back from Idaho so I can fish... these videos are Killing Me!!!

[@edp1801]

I'da liked to have seen a better set up for us newbs. How long leader, how do you connect leader to main See you out there !

[@bajadan2769]

Great catch and release !

[@mauricebrown9094]

I normally use a clip mainly so i can change to different colors quicker. weather it be for spoons or spinners. Although i do think that the Non Slip Loop Knot does extremely well for big flies and soft baits. It just seems to give things more movement in my opinion. Try it.. Another good video Pal..

[@rickbrown7067]

Thanks Nick, another great Video! I’ll be down there the end of the month to give them a rip.

[@kingoftweaks]

I used to use the same PLine swivel/snap in size 10. The snap wire broke after couple weeks and lost couple expensive hard lures.

[@danh9046]

Man , you should have took one of the slab back to your SUV and steam the black cod with some ginger and oil. Awesome video.😋

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Thank you, it’s funny you say that. One of my last videos was a catch and cook with another big one... cooked it up in Meyer lemon infused olive oil, ginger & soy sauce.. it was delicious

[@CristianopescadorR]

Nice fishes. I'm learning from you how to fishing

[@johnnapp]

I use the storm bunker in the surf for stripers.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

That’s one of the things I love about these baits in particular, you can use them for multi species. They look so life like, any predatory fish would snatch these things up... man I need to get just a bit further south. I’ve been wanting to catch stripers for years!!

[@kevinmarshall6540]

Might be a good video to mention safety..? Great fishing though! Good fishing out where I am to.. upper Washington coast

[@jeromemayer8904]

Heck yeah! Love the videos. Well done

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Thank you! Much appreciated

[@mygardeninbloom]

Great video! Great information!

[@turnkeylife5105]

Very nice

[@buddymcclure6170]

What's your favorite and most productive Jetty to fish? I've had my best days in Windy Bay. Caught a couple Lings today in Newport, one keeper but good trip non the less!

[@lewisboy9018]

Is that Rockaway a Medium power rod or a Medium heavy? Love your vids btw

[@jconsolini6286]

Are you standing on mussels? I would take some of those back to camp with me to go alone with a fish dinner. Tight Line.

[@BreakingIntoData]

How far out on a jetty should you go to find rock fish and lincod?

[@bparr9086]

Great video as always👍👍...it seems like the first time you've used a spinning reel left handed...??? 🤔🤔....kinda threw me off. Am I way off base??? either way, it's all good!! 😁👍.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

2 years later and I came across this again. I meant to respond long ago. I actually did a mirror image on this video so the location wasn’t a dead giveaway. I do switch up time to time though depending on whether I’m having wrist or arm issues.

[@tobiaspiering]

Nick, can you use your same rod/reel combo for surf fishing for perch or no? Ideally I’d like to invest in one combo for Jetty/rockfish and surf since I can’t justify spending the dough for two combos at this point.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Definitely! if i were to go surf fishing i'd be using this same rod and reel... possibly even swap out to a lighter reel since i have a few but there is no need to buy EXTRA gear

[@scottchodrick4994]

U like to fish the barview jetty and u are a hell of a fisherman I live in Rockaway Beach and would like to get some professional help sometime if you are ever around my nephews want me to take them but I have no idea what I’m doing any advice where the fish hang out and what to use and how to use it would be awesome thnx

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Check out the video I did on 7 different jetty fishing setups. The ones I use the most would probably be the high/low rig with sand shrimp as well as casting jigs with soft plastics on them…. Though the Texas rig setup can be a killer! Check out the vid, it may help. Barview can be tough at times. It’s definitely not like it used to be, so hit or miss is the norm. I usually do best at peak high tide (during slack tide) then fish until the water is pulling out too hard, then I call it quits. You won’t have much luck when the water is ripping through there

[@gregorioc8383]

How long is the 30 lb fluorocarbon leader ??

[@youngjay725]

Hey nick I’ve been looking for these bunkers. Cant find them. Are you buying these at the coastal stores? Let me know. Please. Been watching you for a while. Dont get a big head. Lol

[@donaldfarmer715]

How long is the leader that is tied onto the braid line

[@jackmyers6806]

So we fish off the jetty here in Washington but there not that big those black rock fish what time of the year do you catch them

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

This was early Spring, and they are pretty rare to find down here as well. I fished for a few days and got into them pretty good, but I’ve never experienced fishing like this since, but I’m always trying lol. I was so stoked to find some monsters. I’m pretty sure there were a ton of smelt around at this time as well so it may have drawn in some bigger fish from out further. Keep fishing, you never know what’s gonna happen when you are jetty fishing!

[@JamminFresh1]

Have you got any lingcod on these swim baits?

[@Thump40]

Any of those fish worth eating?

[@Robsinthegarden]

Hey buddy, I noticed you took the swivel off at the end... didnt like it? Can you update us about that? I'm debating about starting to do that cause seems easier to switch baits

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

My line was a little frayed near the knot so I cut it off when I swapped baits but I would have to say after seeing both of the setups in the water, I think that dual lock helps keep it oriented correctly and gives a better action, whereas tying directly to the swimbait causes it to roll sideways more when you swim it fast or give it quick pops. I do prefer being able to swap out quickly.. I will probably be using the dual lock more often

[@markk7133]

You fish on the south side of the is jetty?

[@RockMonger]

2:05 did you say "it shad itself" lololol 💩

[@robertoromerovega946]

Are you fishing for salmon at all

[@roboticmonkey_9645]

We’re these back to back?

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

They were... the conditions changed quick! I feel lucky to have caught those fish for the video lol

[@josiahbenitez9739]

I live here next to the jetty and walk about everyday ain't got much gear tho, got any you could pass down? I've been using the Berkley gulps but I wanna go for lingcod and big bass

[@johnbickle8457]

I don't understand why they call these things rock fish in the category of ground fish when they suspend like bass.

[@Neil-Jones]

Higher commercial fishing vessel and I've never seen so many big black rocks without a bunch of little ones in between fishing so close to shore. Tell me the truth now... You got somebody down by the water sticking those big black rocks onto your hook. 🤐

[@Neil-Jones]

Wow! I had a commercial fishing vessel and I've never seen so many big black rocks without a bunch of little ones in between so close to shore. Tell us the truth now... Did you have somebody down at the water sticking those lunker's on the hook for you? 🤐 I won't tell anyone.
