SURF PERCH Catch & Cook | HOOTERS Style!!! Washington Coast

In this episode we will fish for Surfperch at the Washington Pacific Coast! I will show you how to catch Surf Perch, the basic Surf Perch setup, and how to cook Surf Perch using Hooters Wing Breading! Brian and I spent all day (and night) out at the coast fishing for crabs, perch, and event went razor clam digging at night. Next week I will show you how to dig razor clams at the Washington coast at low tide, and I will be sure to do more Washington Coast again fishing soon!

I have lived up here for almost 11 years and never made it to the coast. Looks like so much fun.

Do it!! Even if just a quick sight seeing trip, it’ll totally be worth it!

This is one of the only videos of yours I haven't watched I had to scroll way down to find this one. I think it was awesome when you did this video with your friend his facial expressions were priceless.

[@basically_ramen2588]

Yes bro!!!! Your videos are hanging! Just lovely wholesomeness. You really have a high respect for food which I think is something common in our respective cultures. I’m Filipino American and we don’t like wasting food either. However, what counts is you went out there this day of the video and you tried something. Not a complete lost either man! I mean you got the fish on point. It was just sad to see the disappointment but that’s natural. I most likely would have felt the same and show the same expression too. However, I think your level of care shows in these videos man. We saw you respecting wild life and I also strongly believe exceeds the disappointment in the outcome of the cornbread. Keep pushin man!

[@fishstopbc8662]

Love how realistic the video is, sometimes catch and cooks can work out well (Perch) and sometimes not so much (hush puppies) like the cut where it goes to you editing lol 17:25

[@NWFishingSecrets]

LOL thank you man. Glad you can appreciate my humor and no craps given about letting you guys know when stuff goes wrong! Those hushpuppies are my biggest culinary fail of 2019 😂 The fish was good though! 🤙 Thank you for enjoying, as always! 🎣

[@savvasefsef]

I think you can find in market clarified butter, it doesn't burns brown black since milk lefts like water and solids are appcend!! Or you do it before going fishing, melting the butter in a pot over low heat, let simmer for 10' - 15',turn of the heat, let it sit few minutes and collect the cleared butter!! Happy new year!!

Put a little finely chopped onion in your cornbread mix, then, fry your hush puppies in the fish grease, the taste you get is incredible by getting the fish flavor in your hush puppies, grew up in Tennessee and my Mom and Wife made the best ones!

Man If you get there around spawn time, they get to about forearm size. I make a handful of trips in the summer, occasionally in the fall/winter. Good eats!!

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Awesome! Now that would be fun.... What season do they spawn?

[@Le_Fish29]

I would say between March-June, you gotta be careful though because red tails give birth to live frys, and if you keep one with a bellyful and she releases in your net, it goes towards your daily limit.

You want to achieve keep your feet apart when your surf fishing are you always want to keep your eye on the waves now when you're fishing for surf perch in the surf you want to use at least from 2oz LEDs all the way up to 4 oz lead sinkers you want to cast far as you can get into the surf

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Thank you!! So you're saying the farther you cast the better? I was using a 2oz, but can imagine if the surf is heavier, a 4oz might be nice. Or to get out further....

Dude. I am speechless. My parents got divorced too, when I was young. So I understand how you feel. Just knowing this makes me want to fish twice as hard for you man 🎣 Fishing has helped me through all sorts of tough times. I don't know if it's the fishing itself, or just being out in nature, but it has healing powers.... I don't know how old you are, but make some good friends who fish, and those will be the best friendships and adventures you'll have. A whole life if waiting, and I hope you can spend as much time in it fishing as possible!!!! 🤙 Double check the Green River, to see if it is open. I think they closed it on Tuesday, due to Chum having problems. And please message me on Instagram or FB, so we can fish together sometime 🎣

Little tip is that if you put a good amount of salt on some fillets of perch and put some paper towels under and over, let them sit for 4-24 hours and they should be less mushy and more flakey

[@tidalrootsadventures]

@@freddyraymendiola2988 hmmmm it’s hard to say cause the fish move along the coast and if your hot in one spot the next day it could be dead. I would just go during low tide and look for troughs to see where fish would hang out during high tide or incoming tide. That’s really the best advice. Sorry if it’s vague. Good luck!

Use the dark ends of the clam necks for bait fresh clams work better than anything I've tried it all .to get bigger fish at high tide I find that launching as far as possible works well for me in till the tide is way out .then it seems like you don't have to throw far. That's just my opinion.opinions are like ads holes we all have and Probrably know at least one .
