Great video buddy! May I ask, what tide should I fish?

[@righteousriverfishinginoregon7]

Good question. I normally try to time it so I fish incoming tide. When the water is deeper I snag less and catch bigger fish. However, on the day of this video the tide was dropping and I fished low tide and caught my first limit. Moral of the story is that fish are always there, you just need to find them. Fish and move, be methodical, if your not catching change your bait and move again. That's what works for me. Good luck. Fish on!

Yo!!!! I drive a lifted white RAM with Veteran plates. Definitely. If we ever run into each other let's fish together. But, I rarely go there nowadays. I have been doing a lot of river floating and learning some new stuff, but when I need fish for the freezer I go to the jetty!!!

[@dannyboy1736]

Man no way. I just tried exactly what you did. I tried it on a high tide and on a slack tide. Multiple baits moved around multiple times and I never had a single bite. Close to about 12 hours of trying. Your anointed.

[@righteousriverfishinginoregon7]

That sounds like a tough day. I have had days where the bite is slow, but I always catch fish. Are you letting your jigs hit bottom before jigging them back in? I cast out as far as I can, let them tap the bottom, and then jig them in tapping the bottom all the way in.

[@America-he5tz]

I seen a video on youtube a guy using a fire tiger rooster tail for surf perch. It worked 💪

[@righteousriverfishinginoregon7]

When you get on the fish, they bite most anything. I'm not that confident though and will only use bait for the most part. :) 🎣💪

[@dyjital]

Looks like a good time. You are I aren’t too far apart it seems and I need to get lines wet this year still. It’s been sooo busy with crap the time to relax and enjoy myself has disappeared. -in Albany I fished that jetty a few years back during coho and throwing same jig I hooked two of them, both jumped and went airborne and threw the hook, the third dove, went south from the south jetty and ran line until it broke. Memorable experience.

[@righteousriverfishinginoregon7]

That's crazy. I have heard of people hooking and/or catching chinook, coho, and steelhead while jetty fishing and while surf fishing. I have not had that experience yet, but it sounds like fun.

@@dustin6816 Local tips: the charter company Yaquina Bay Charters is the best local charter with the lowest prices. They offer half day bottom fishing trips for about $100 and you can add crabbing for another $25 or so. That would be the best option because you are guaranteed fish, and probably will get crab, all for a little over $100. They offer military discount if you are a Vet. Plus, the boats are big and they only go out like a few miles, so getting sea sick is less likely. Have a blast!

[@JuggernautArmwrestling]

I went out of Newport this week twice. First time ever jetty fishing and I lost a lingcod right at the rocks. It was so fun but so much to learn. Thanks for posting.

[@righteousriverfishinginoregon7]

Great news! It's a real bummer when you lose them at the rocks. Often times the braid can sheer off, or sometimes they get into a difficult place to land. Best thing you can do is to have a long gaff so you can hook them when you get them close. Keep at it and you will get some nice fish.

@JasonSmith-r7u there is always kelp there and it's difficult to fish at low tide, but at high tide is not that bad.

[@JohnFlores-q7j]

Nice haul bro. But isn’t that 50# braid strong enough to lift those sea bass up with out a gaff? Or were you just playing safe?

[@righteousriverfishinginoregon7]

Yes, definitely, the 50lb braid is strong enough for the bass. I was careful for two reasons: sometimes the line gets nicked on the rocks during the fight and causes weak spots (like one bass that broke the line after I caught it) so I try to be careful. Second reason is to protect the rod. That rod is rated Medium and was expensive, so I normally am careful as I lift them up. As you can see, those bass were larger than normal which was awesome. Good observation!

I use long surf rods from 9-11 ft which is helpful when trying to lift up fish and keep them from the rocks. However, you do not need a surf rod and can use an SST. Hopefully it is at least rated medium or medium heavy. Longer the better. Use what you got and make it work until you can buy what you want. God luck!
