[@aleach07]

Love the video Rodney! Always so stoked on your level of stoke! My dad quit fishing when I was little and I kept on fishing throughout my childhood and into adulthood. While he was out visiting me here in SD recently, I took him out surf perch fishing at Silver Stand and he caught his first fish in 40 years. He was so stoked! I think he's "hooked" on fishing again.

[@johndouglas7787]

Great to see you back. My best fish in the surf was a 5lb. yellow fin croaker at San Onofre in 1976. What? no 5 minutes later. Must have been so much action there was no need for it.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

hahah John! I forgot to put in that part "5 min later" ! Next time for sure. 5 lb?! thats a giant! Ill try for yellowfin with ghost shrimp in a couple weeks :)

0:48 trust me man, family is more important than making videos for people you don’t really know that well, and just to make them entertained!

Totally I agree. Thats the real reason I have not been posting lately. I do like posting for documentation purposes and so that my kids will see that their dad went out and enjoyed the out doors :) thanks for watching Ethan!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

I would hit up silverstrand :) Thats where I went to go fishing. best time right now . early in the morning !

[@lawrencelymanii6943]

You probably could just go with a simple swivel instead of the snap. Other than that, you do what I do. I like a 3/4 or 1 oz egg, it's on braid, then a swivel and a 20" leader, with the green and brown sand worms.. even over sand fleas, the perch seem to prefer the plastic..

[@LettuceLand]

He probably did the same thing I did. Went to walmart looking for just swivels, saw "Barrel Swivel" on the package, and bought it. Didn't even know the snaps were connected to it

[@lawrencelymanii6943]

@wait what true, true. When I was a kid in Florida, we would use a similar rig to catch specks and snook, except, NO swivel, we would tie in a piece of yarn or even paper matches to stop the egg.

[@lawrencelymanii6943]

@wait what also, those snap swivels frequently release at both ends of the snap.

Sacrifices for the family. Hope u have a long and a lot more fishing in the future for u
