[@craigandgingerbeals200]

Thank you for releasing the preggers!! Well done

[@washingtonlife]

Thank you for watching and cheers my friend

[@RaymondMullen-t9j]

They are some nice Lookin Perch .... Can't wait for the Cook...

[@washingtonlife]

Thank you my man! Yes I will be cooking them up this coming weekend 😃

[@AshleyBanks-rz1lc]

Can’t wait to see as well

[@ericn1487]

@@washingtonlife No problem. You should try to go crabbing for Dungeness crab at low tide at beach in Oregon some time because it's easy limits to get even in the summer with full crab meat too.

[@washingtonlife]

@@ericn1487 I’ve done that before but they were all females lol. Couldn’t find any keepers but maybe I was at the wrong spot 😆

[@ericn1487]

@@washingtonlife Probably wrong time when you left because you need to be at least 4 hours before low tide at the beach.

THISE FISHES WERE BEAUTIFULL AND BIG , WHAT AN AMAZING CACH !!!✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@washingtonlife]

@@welcomier thank you so much my friend! There are a lot of them with live babies in their bellies

[@welcomier]

@@washingtonlife IM VERY GLAD TO KNOW THAT ITS YOUR FAVORITE FISH TO FISH FOR , IT WAS A GREAT VIDEO !✨️✨️

[@jumpshotwithkrints3671]

Amazing catch.

[@washingtonlife]

@@jumpshotwithkrints3671 thank you 🙏

[@MattTerada]

Pretty sure I saw you yesterday by the end of cranberry road. I was the only other fool out there “fishing” 😂

[@washingtonlife]

@@MattTerada no I wasn’t out there yesterday but what happened? Did you get skunked?

[@F-N-C]

Nice dude

[@washingtonlife]

@@F-N-C thank you bro!

[@PercalTM]

I was wondering do air down at all when you drive at Long Beach?

[@washingtonlife]

@@PercalTM I do not air down and never had a problem just put on 4x4 and go fast in the soft sand and you won’t get stuck. Lots of people get stuck because they go too slow

[@PercalTM]

@@washingtonlife Thanks! What approach do you usually use?

[@washingtonlife]

@@PercalTM Long Beach entrance and I would drive all along the beach to find them

[@ReelSpider]

I'm the jealous one, I'm in the Blue Ridge today, Shenandoah Valley, the most productive Small Mouth Bass fishery in the world. Looks like rain... They do need the rain...

[@washingtonlife]

@@ReelSpider do you eat bass?

[@Jsiano91]

I'm going tomorrow at halfmoon bay, CA. Gonna try using prawns to see if they bite

[@washingtonlife]

@@Jsiano91 oh man I’m excited for you! If I were you I would bring a couple of different baits just to play safe if it doesn’t bite on the shrimp you can always use clam necks or sand shrimps or sand moles 👍. Good luck out there!

[@Jsiano91]

@washingtonlife usually uses sand crabs. They easily bite with sand crabs at certain times.

[@washingtonlife]

@@Jsiano91 sucks on my beach I’m not allowed to use sand crabs. Do you like to fish outgoing or incoming tide?

[@Jsiano91]

@washingtonlife incoming, I was getting bites. Outcoming usually have nonluck

[@washingtonlife]

@@Jsiano91 I used to only fish outgoing tide about 1 to 2 hours before super Lowtide and I would get crazy bites until the tide gets too low. I might go back to doing that again because then you have more time to fish when incoming tide comes back in an hour or so 👍

[@jyg4883]

Got a question. Are two poles allowed at the coast? Trying to set one for crabbing and the other for surf perch.

[@washingtonlife]

That’s a great question, I do not know because usually I fish first and then I crab afterwards

[@jyg4883]

@washingtonlife I might just have to do that, too. Just to be safe.

[@jyg4883]

@washingtonlife BTW, heading to long beach AUG 30. I'm excited.

[@washingtonlife]

@@jyg4883 are you planning to fish incoming or outgoing tide?

[@jyg4883]

@washingtonlife I'm not sure since I'm kind of new to this lol. Can you explain and let me know what's the best to do so? I might be getting there around 6:30 or so.

[@ericn1487]

Clean and Cook Perch soon. By the way Washington is opening razor clam season this fall and Oregon will reopen for razor clam season October 1st.

@@washingtonlife Dungeness crab been open in Washington since July. The Puget Sound recreational crab management area includes Washington marine areas 5 through 13 (including the Strait of Juan de Fuca, San Juan Islands, Puget Sound, and Hood Canal) and marine area 4 (Neah Bay) east of the Bonilla-Tatoosh line. The Dungeness crab catch record card is required for this area are some areas you can go catch Dungeness crab and you can catch them at the beach at early low tide if you go early too.

[@dannybabauta6712]

What beach is that? How do you hook your shrimp?

[@AshleyBanks-rz1lc]

He shows how in some of his videos and if I can recall I saw him show how to hook his shrimps by using magic string

[@washingtonlife]

This was out at Long Beach and I hook my shrimp with magic string

Awesome fish bro. Can't wait to get out there

[@washingtonlife]

@@jonp6347 thank you my man and yes get out there and I’m probably planning to go back soon

There’s actually big fish in those waves?! 😮 I thought they are only in deep waters

[@washingtonlife]

@@AshleyBanks-rz1lc yes lots of other fish as well

[@lg8080]

Are those slabs still having babies in their bellies? If so, I'd rather go surf fishing next month.

[@washingtonlife]

@@lg8080 not the ones I kept but all the other big ones all had babies and I released them all so we all can have future fish to fish for. I will probably be back out there next month as well so I don’t have to worry about the females carrying babies. Thank you for watching
