Surfperch Fishing on the California Coast

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks for making this video Adam! Glad you found the new pouch useful. And the baits! They’re such more durable and if losing both appendages doesn’t happen often.

[@DieHardFishing]

Of course! Thanks for setting me up for a successful day on the beach!

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

Your surf fishing videos are my favorite. The fact that surf perch are such fine eating fish makes it a plus. Another great greet, meat, and eat. 😆

[@DieHardFishing]

Glad you like them! More coming soon!

[@brianlee9074]

Thanks for the video Adam. Love the surf fishing videos. Nice batch of perch right there. Happy eating! ✌️

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@VINCEGOESFISHING]

Perch pouch 2.0!!! Heck ya!!! 👏👏👏

[@b-lopez394]

DHF, Nice catch! You know, If you get one of those handheld electric start propane torch from Harbor Freight you can cook fish anytime and anyplace even on top of the log @18:02. Make sure you disconnect the propane bottle from the torch after use for safety. Sometimes by closing the valve there's still a flame at the tip.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the tip!

[@TheSparklyBeader87]

Adam, good fishing day at the beach. I haven’t had perch in a long time. Looks delicious! ❤

[@rigofishing]

Hey adam do have a link to see where red tides are happening? I was searching online but i couldn't find anything. Water was bad around the area of th cement ship. It would help from driving to bad spots. Thank for any info. Tight lines 👍🎣

[@ryanstack6738]

Hit me up for water report if you have to drive to cement ship... I walk to it. Water was nasty last few weeks, but cleaned up today. Hauled some dinner plate perch.

[@roylove276]

Adam, when you step in that stuff, it brings good luck. That's what I've been told. Good haul of delicious perch.

[@DieHardFishing]

Fingers crossed!

[@BobbyOfEarth]

Nice school, and they seemed to like the GotEm baits craw...I'll be swimming those for RedTail's up at north salmon beach on Sunday.

[@DieHardFishing]

Good luck!

[@ReeLinFishing7]

Cool man!! Ramen and surf perch!!!🎣🎣

[@DieHardFishing]

The best!

[@marvinlicudine608]

What fishing rig are you using

[@jrpcoins]

I’ve gotten skunked for the past 2 trips going for surf perch and I was using live sand crabs? Gonna try soft plastics next and probably stick to a high low rig if the Carolina and grub don’t work😅

[@DieHardFishing]

Stick with it and good luck on your next trip!

[@deanbloyer5745]

1st annual Prinston Harbor, Die Hard Halibut kayak shoot out.!!!Think about it. September 👍

[@Charlie-81]

Where do you fish, that there is no one around lol? Every time I try to surfish, there are surfers everywhere.

[@DieHardFishing]

You can get further away from the crowds with the ebike!

[@xxXTremeBoarderxx]

What beach are u perch 🐟 ng

[@tydengr]

Wow! nice. I wish I live near the beach

[@Srjeep12]

I bought the pouch and I didn’t like carrying the fish weight on me and when trying walk gets in way do not recommend 😅

[@tonyknust3002]

I’ve found the pouch super useful when I’m on a hot bite and don’t want to walk up to the cooler, but still use a cooler to store the fish in between spots.

[@jamesskidmore5776]

Motor oil color is what works for me on a consistent basis

[@ccccacn]

A burlap bag works like a refrigerator thanks to evaporation

[@springteen3743]

You seems to be having trouble turning your spinning reel, is it sand going through your bearings?😊

[@marcolopez8356]

What beach is this ? I’ve hit almost every beach from baker beach to montara beach and I haven’t caught a single surf perch. I’m starting to believe they’ve gone extinct

[@JC-cd3zs]

Dig up some live sand crabs. Nothing beats them as bait for surf perch

[@marcolopez8356]

@@JC-cd3zs bro I’ve tried just about everything I know

[@titogreggy]

San Gregorio? Local SF Bay Area KZbinrs will never say where they’re at.

[@nathangomes6196]

Hey man I’ve has the same problem for about a month and half every time I go out I catch smelt. I’ve finally just started catching surf perch again not in high numbers but big enough to eat and that’s all I care about. I’ve fished the same beaches and finally caught some, just keep at it they’ll turn up. I use gulp sand worms and use the fish finder or Carolina, don’t forget to stay mobile. Tight lines

[@josephchristopher7534]

I'd bet that you could have caught fish on the tailless grub, too. Give it a try sometime.

[@DieHardFishing]

You are probably right!

[@entername5706]

You make it look too easy!! How do u go about finding spots? Do you go to ur usual good spots? Do you randomly choose? Or do you communicate with other fisherman? It’s been brutal in the city I think it might be time to start making the drive down to Santa Cruz

[@pikeyboyfoo]

Nothing big out here. Been skunking lately

[@DieHardFishing]

All of the above!

[@4theoutdooradventure]

Every time I cook surf perch they become mushy the meat is just like mush is there a special way that you cook them or how you prepare the meat or are they mushy to you also

[@DieHardFishing]

getting them on ice as quickly as possible helps. I also cook them in super hot oil.

[@stayupvic]

What camera do you use

[@DieHardFishing]

mostly gopros

[@evangelinereyes5826]

Where do you fish?

[@GQRS]

Nice vid brotha what type of rod are you using..?

[@DieHardFishing]

9 foot medium action

[@purplecircle7413]

Featuring products you legit recommend is awesome. Cant stand people who feature stuff they don’t even use just for the money

[@jasonpoultry0]

What an awesome day it must’ve been bro! Hey quick question, what rod were you using and what weight were you throwing that day? That Rod seems suuuuper nice

[@DieHardFishing]

9 foot medium action rod with a 1 ounce weight

[@jasonpoultry0]

@@DieHardFishing thanks for the reply, but I mean specifically which brand/model if you don’t mind sharing?

[@jeffreyabinuman6683]

Where can I buy one?

[@DieHardFishing]

Links in the video description!

[@dreamfly555]

Wouldn't it make more sense to get a cooler with ice since you'd got an e-bite?

[@Hook2Cook]

The point is not having to leave the hole the school is in order to put away your catch every time. More casts= more catches 😊

[@adlam5810]

How come you don’t squeeze out the fry into the tide from the pregnant one?

[@ButcherisFalse]

because their eggs dummy ,,,lmao...clueless

[@rontsang4308]

Do we really need a flap over opening to the perch pouch？Fish ain't going to leap out?! What if it was a clean opening just two magnetic snap and you can nudge open the middle of the pouch opening with the fish so it is a one hand operation rather than fighting the flap with Velcro.

[@Hook2Cook]

When I designed it, I thought about magnets but I realized sand can have iron deposits build up on the magnets. The Velcro is mainly to keep it flat and not just hang open.

[@rontsang4308]

@@Hook2Cook thanks for the explanation. Most of the magnet that we would use in our fabric material product would be sandwiched between waterproof material so rusting shouldn't be an issue. And we've come across magnetic material that are in a flex roll (much like fridge magnets) that's flexible and would do that same as Velcro. There's no right or wrong way to do it, always good to have exchange of ideas so V3 could even be better!

[@Hook2Cook]

@@rontsang4308 it’s not really the rusting. It’s the abrasion over time. The Velcro will break in making it easier to open over time while still performing its duty. Quality and longevity has alway and will always be a priority. Thanks for taking the time to discuss

[@luv2mx]

Man. That's lots of selling. Getting to be a little too much

[@oskars7045]

Luck your sponsors

[@pikeyboyfoo]

I have no sponsors fam lol

[@richardarmida8151]

When there in close like that, in the white water it's amazing. Like they are so close and you can't see them....chill on the ads, plz

[@jeffchambers449]

It would be great if the general area was given on these videos. Doesn't have to be the exact beach. California is a big place.

[@chew2elah]

First?

[@aznvi3tboy209]

My thoughts are if you're not actually using the products that you are being sponsored by in your everyday life then how can we trust it.

[@TheGor54]

Five minutes in before any actual fishing..

[@mauropotiguar]

I am watching less and less when I noticed you rather record the ground rather then the horizon. Stupid secrecy.... and all the merchandize for sale.

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

Adam All your video time used to be FISHING. Now much 1/2 of your videos, aside from the 5 minute AD deal, are more advertising non fishing "stuff". Is it a bottom line must? Or a need to stay on top?

[@Fishthefly]

Shut the hell up he’s promoting another California area KZbinr. Hell yeah Adam you’re killing it man!! ❤the video and fishing is getting good out here in Ventura too man! @diehardfishing
