[@DerrickVan]

No problem man hopefully we meet up again in the future! Enjoy your new rod

[@jayfron6012]

I live down near Huntington but took a trip up to Redondo since it’s been quiet between here and Newport. Was in the mood for mackerel and I finally got some bites. Still not as hot as it should be, but hoping it picks up and the bonito run by soon

[@DerrickVan]

Right on brother, I am also waiting on the bonito it will be epic when they come through

[@matiascarvajal3232]

Nice video

[@DerrickVan]

Thank you!

[@bmillz4457]

Great video bro! When do you think the bite will be on in Hermosa beach?

[@DerrickVan]

I'd say give them another 2 weeks and they'll bite hermosa again as long as the wind goes away. Thank you for watching!

[@uaconfishingla]

When was this bro. Let me know when ur hitting the pier again for content. Ill link up w u

[@DerrickVan]

The 7th and 8th, ill be going on Saturday and sunday if everything goes to plan. I normally am there Saturday 4-7 and Sunday 2-5. I'll message you on instagram

[@vincents2056]

Sick vid! What’s a budget rod and reel set up that you’d recommend?

[@DerrickVan]

Thanks for the kind words! Go on Amazon and search up berrypro shadow hunter 12' rod, it is a $60 rod that works just fine, I use it in my videos. For the reel get the daiwa bg 4000, it costs around $110 and $30 to put line on it, out of the door you should pay around $200. $200 is a bit much for a budget setup but it should last you 10 years easy and is comfortable, this setup will catch you plenty of fish!

[@vincents2056]

@@DerrickVan thanks for the recommendation Derrick! looking forward to try out the berrypro pole. I haven't fished in LA since I moved from Hawaii but your videos has got me itching to go fishing!

[@DerrickVan]

@@vincents2056 you're welcome! Hope you are able to go out and catch a bunch of fish!

Nice video bro. Whats the best time to fish there at redondo beach pier.

[@DerrickVan]

Thanks bro

[@karl_nxzyn]

When a fish bite should I still jerk the sabiki lure?

[@DerrickVan]

I do to set the hook so that any more fish that want to bite gets hooked but if I don't jerk it I just reel slow

[@sfv6]

What kind of sabiki rig youre using? Im planning to fish there next month. Thx

[@DerrickVan]

I'm using my homemade sabiki

[@sfv6]

@@DerrickVan ok thanks. Show us how to make a sbiki rig sometime.

[@stevealvarez2411]

What's the name of fishing line and size, Name of hooks, Great job 👏

[@DerrickVan]

The hooks are called sabiki hooks. I use size 6 hooks and 30lb line. Thank you for watching my video!

[@stevealvarez2411]

@@DerrickVan thanks for the reply

[@shoefit2stayfit920]

I notice mackerel don't really bite at night, need to go around afternoon 😑

[@DerrickVan]

They do bite at night but you have to use bait. This year has been a little tough fishing so you just have to get lucky. Come around 4pm to sunset for the best time to get a bite

[@thatoneguy9482]

I remember at Santa Monica I caught a full coolers worth a hour before the shut down

[@bonton6190]

Where you bought your sabikis bro?

[@DerrickVan]

I make them myself 👍

[@memoriesofthesecondworldwa4762]

Is it good to use ugly stick gx2 rod medium action with those green feathers?, btw I was doing really good with sabiki rigs today at Redondo until my 2 setups got tangled up together pretty bad 😐What kind of setup do you use?

[@DerrickVan]

I am not familiar with ugly sticks, I have one that is way too light for throwing sabiki so I dont know if yours if too light aswell. I use a 12' rod and a Daiwa bg reel. I like to use a 3oz sinker and try to keep ky line as tight as possible to give the fish little wiggle room. Congrats on your catch at redondo!

[@thatoneguy9482]

You can use that for makerl it's fairly easy to catch with shrimp or squid

[@Ondoyeyes]

What rod your using and reel if u don’t mind me asking ?

[@DerrickVan]

Berrypro shadowhunter 12' and daiwa bg 5000

[@PierLifeFisherman]

Is there any sabiki rigs that I can buy on Amazon? Do you have the link?

[@DerrickVan]

I like these ones, OCEAN CAT Fishing Rigs Saltwater Bait, Feather & Fish Skin 6 String Hooks Fishing Lure Tackle,Red/Green 10 Packs www.amazon.com/dp/B07G5637ZG/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_J29C81MMZJAC5SN3RA31?psc=1 Get them in either green or red size 6 hooks

[@PierLifeFisherman]

Alright 👍

[@PierLifeFisherman]

@@DerrickVan how long do you make your sabiki rig sink before you jig? And what size sinker?

[@DerrickVan]

@@PierLifeFisherman I let it go to the bottom, I use 3oz sinker

[@PierLifeFisherman]

@@DerrickVan gotcha

[@rogerthat4009]
