Catch and Cook Surf Perch - Oregon Surf Fishing. How to setup a bottom rig for surf fishing

[@rolandofloresca650]

Hey just want to give you a big thank you! I went to Lincoln city for the first time and had never beach fished before, I researched your videos and bought those sand worms and caught a flounder and a lot of surf perch. You literally taught me how to beach fish and I’ll keep this knowledge as long as I live!

[@oregonlife]

Awesome, thanks for the report.

[@Hellomicka_]

Thanks for putting back the females! Great videos every time!

[@DonnyT744]

Looks like a great day of fishing.

[@morganhunter7233]

I went out surf fishing at Cape Lookout thanks to your videos. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks!

[@oregonlife]

Can't make that one. Good luck.

[@xyzct]

How'd you do?

[@jamalydude]

You from Coos Bay?

[@ratherbefishing415]

Another great video 👍👍👍

[@MrAcuta73]

Hey, PK? Ever consider going for some Uni (urchins)? Something I've considered a number of times, but never done it. Mostly because I'm not sure I'd like it and killing something I won't eat doesn't sit well with me, even if it's just one. After feeding a couple bunnies to the coyotes because they were full of worms....did it to me.

[@kubasaki1978]

I ran an commercial Urchin dive boat out of Santa Barbara for a bit back in 2013. We would run out to the Channel Islands 4 days a week (65 miles each way) in a 24 foot Radon. Averaged right at 4500 pounds per trip. Dove with an onboard hooka system in about 25-40 ft. of water, right in the middle of White Shark heaven (thats why I quit)...lol........I tried fresh Uni, 15 minutes out of the water and just never got used to it....maybe a texture thing.

[@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV]

Hello PK Awesome video. Good knotes. Do you use Steel Leaders? Can you catch Red Rock Crab or Dungeness or other edible crabs on the ciast coast shore?

[@oregonlife]

No steel leaders. Yes, you can catch crabs from shore. Both reds and dungeness.

[@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV]

@@oregonlife Thank's Safe Journeys!

[@tommurphy6972]

Man you make it look easy, been a bunch and have only caught one small silver perch , what do you look for a long the shore

[@kubasaki1978]

Great videos.....why don't you wade further out into the water to get your bait further out? And is there a size, gender and bag limit for Red Tailed Surf perch in Oregon?? I'm from Salem and plan on making some trips for these fish. I used to surf fish off the beaches in central California with very little success but love eating surf perch. Hope to meet you out there one of these days..

[@pedrogomez3168]

Solid fishing. What kind of hooks pk??

[@michaeledens8381]

what is spider therad ? where can I get it ? love your videos. I'm in tampa fl. thanks...

[@adventuretails4767]

Have you done any surf perch fishing around Bandon?

[@brhino1017]

Ha ha! Perch Porn. Good one PK! Funny stuff. 🤣

[@sparkeyjones6261]

Did that fish you dragged across the sand, and then fondled for the camera live after you released it?

[@bobbertheclown2907]

what part of Oregon are you fishing at? great video thanks

[@oregonlife]

This was Florence.

[@scbeachboi]

What kind of wader shoes are those? Do you like them as much as your new waders? 🎣🎣🎣

[@oregonlife]

Can't remember the name. But I got them from Bi-Mart in Corvallis for about $65. They are pretty nice . .. so far. The new waders are much better than my old neoprene ones. Review is coming soon.

[@bethfinch1141]

PK, my boyfriend and I are looking to go crabbing with a rod. Can you recommend a rod and reel and line weight? We watch your channel all the time and really enjoy it! Thank you... also have you heard of a crab daddy trap?

[@oregonlife]

Yes, I got a few crab daddy, they work great and you don't need a rod for it. For tossing crab hawks, I use a heavy surf rod, like a Ugly Stik Big Water 11' rod. You want a long rod fishing from shore so you can cast far. For jetty crab hawking, I use a super heavy 12-13 foot surf rod. For line, 70-80# braid.

[@stephenmilldrum2456]

What weight of braided and mono line are you recommending? Your Amazon link doesn't specify line weight. The reel you recommend is good for up to 20 lbs and the rod up to 12 lbs. Thanks!

[@oregonlife]

I use 15# for braid + mono.

[@stephenmilldrum2456]

@@oregonlife Thanks for all of your advice and training!

[@gregrobertson1348]

looks like pacific city?

[@dsdorning]

I've been out about 3 or 4 times. I am constantly catching Sand Dabs and occasionally some Small Sole, but not getting any perch. Any advice?

[@matthewnghihuynh7305]

Shift to different areas and observe waves, you’ll get the hang of it! You’ll have to use sand shrimp sometimes too

[@pelewads]

What time of year do they spawn?

[@fishscale415]

What size hooks and what kind were you using?

[@oregonlife]

#4 baitholder by Eagle Claw.

[@jordanjohnson6681]

[@hustonwitt9425]

Hey PK quick question, do you think the more hardware you have on the less bites you get?

[@oregonlife]

I tend to believe so. That's why I don't use swivels.

[@hustonwitt9425]

@@oregonlife thanks

[@stevengates5200]

What time of year were you guys catchin these lunkers!?

[@oregonlife]

This was 11 days ago.

Where are you fishing???Depobay???and put te name of the place your going claming

[@NWF18]

It's a secret spot sorry buddy

[@urbangro0ve]

Better than a fg knot?

[@oregonlife]

Not really. I think the FG has a lower profile that will slip through guides better.

Hahhaa funny intro

[@anthonyheckard8041]

yup

He said I caught a dumbass fish!!lol

Ya you don't have to yell you always do it's ok ok I still watch

[@dinhchieunguyen684]

Hi PK, when some time i wanted to keep the female fish. if she have a lot of baby, i will push her belly to let all the small fish go.

[@coreyarendt7289]

It does not matter what pound test fishing line or braided line you are using to catch these surf perch these fish are not line shy they do not spoke neither because they are used to seeing all this stuff it just a little information there

[@elmerparedes1105]

Personally I like 30lb braid with 20 lb flouro on the leader. Helps reduce the tangles from waves, while keeping sensitivity from braid, and lessens the chance of your line snapping during a false cast.

[@coreyarendt7289]

Are you 65 pound test braid with a 30 pound test bumper leader and my surf reg is 25 pound test Surf leader rig and I use from 2 oz sinker all the way up to 4 oz sinker

[@leticiamorales5042]

We really won’t that information plizzzzz

[@JorgeAguilar-ff7qo]

Invita a pescar

[@ericwilliams2056]

Simplified, use a swivel..

[@Billbobaker]

15:42 I caught a dumb ass.

[@jamalydude]

What’s that term mean in fishing

[@newlifely7849]

Lol. My son

[@springteen3743]

You should not be fishing them in the first place. Fish them after spawn.

[@ericpeterson8353]

If this is a pregnant fish, why keep it out of the water for so long? I really like the videos but if we're all here because we like to catch fish, why not keep the ones that are propagating in the water so we can keep enjoying this sport.

[@jamalydude]

Did you not watch him return it and it swim away???????
