[@JR-bw3tr]

Yes , you are right , Us followers really appreciate you breaking down giving tutorials on the water and rigs that is so helpful to us 🤝. And that's one reason why I'm subscribed to your channel is because you don't always film your biggest catch , you always find time to break down scenarios.... Many thanks Pare....

[@Hook2Cook]

You are so welcome! Salamat! hopefully it helps others when they hit the water to hear how we break down areas to fish.

[@edquier40]

I am taking notes in case there is a pop quiz on this excellent surf fishing lesson! I love that big smile on Martins face with that hog! He landed it pompano style! That SB you caught are the perfect size for eating. WOW, that second one was right there at the edge of the surf! You could see the hookup! That blackened fish looked AWESOME!! Always a wonderful show Ed, thanks for sharing!

[@Hook2Cook]

Yes Ed! It was so close and fishing with Martin is contagious!

[@Cali_Inca]

West coast striper about to be poppin!! Even better catchin em with your friends and the cookin at the end looked great!

[@Hook2Cook]

Thank you brother!

[@tblazy3463]

Nice trip that beach looks amazing! Great tutorial on surf fishing!👍😄🎣

[@Hook2Cook]

It was! Thanks for the compliment. Took so much discipline to make

[@Pestingandfishing]

Made my day to see you made a surf fishing video! Nice stripers!

[@Hook2Cook]

Great! That’s a good welcome back!

[@trentel]

I'm glad you do KZbin! the videos are awesome !

[@Hook2Cook]

Huge compliment thank you

[@ReelinWithJay]

Just got my first striper today! He was tiny but not bad for Ventura. Just saw your merch, I’ll be shopping soon.

[@xxxdpgxxxx1389]

What beach

[@MastablastaFishing]

Take notes y'all! Ed's spitting knowledge! 🔥

[@Hook2Cook]

Definitely good to help cut those learning curves bro!

[@addicted2fishing119]

That was awesome! Glad to see you back on the sand! But honestly all your videos are good, I just love the Beach! It’s my natural habitat 🍻

[@Hook2Cook]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231]

The fight on that rod!!🔥

[@Hook2Cook]

So much fun and it launches!!!!

[@thelinecook]

So cool. Surf fishing by you seems so cool! It’s so interesting how the regulations are way different on each coast! Limit over by me is only 1 fish between 28-38 inches. Anything over has to be released. Those smaller stripers probably taste really good!!! I’m glad you had a great day with your friend and I learned something new in this episode for sure! 👍

[@Hook2Cook]

Whoa that's crazy. slot limits are cool like that. 28-38 are so solid! that size do taste the best. about to watch your drone video here soon!

[@thelinecook]

@@Hook2Cook thank you Ed i appreciate that a lot. I didn’t have any crazy catches but at least I beat the skunk!!. I am going tonight for stripers here soon!

[@jwestfishing3229]

Good friend! 👍

Liked the sombrero, Edward! Good job! Food looked delish!

Thanks brother! The sombrero is clutch in the sun!

[@WhyIsThisTrue]

Thanks!

[@rolandojuarez3393]

Nice!!! Good tips on the bleeding and putting him in the sand 🤘🏽

[@Hook2Cook]

so much less time wasted when you are on a possible school and better bled in the sand than in the backback!

Just subscribed, meal looked excellent!

[@Hook2Cook]

Thank you and welcome! The meal was definitely too notch fresh

[@Fishing247]

Awsome video. Striper is my favorite fighting fish. I have not try surf fishing for stripers. I learn a lot from your video today. Thanks for the tips and safe fishing. Btw, Vietnamese love eating striper with wrap.

[@Hook2Cook]

Wrapped sounds so good!! Like a spring roll style?

[@Fishing247]

@@Hook2Cook yes. Spring roll with fish sauce dipping. 😋

Jesse! Very cool guy!

[@Hook2Cook]

Of course! He’s part of the family!

[@andrew_9732]

As a newbie, that ruler looks really helpful so I'm not second guessing my memory on size minimums. I was able to assess that it's made by Salty Bones but which version do you have? Looked like yours is a vinyl but I only see West Coast for a 3 piece.

[@three4all247]

GREAT video! THX

[@Hook2Cook]

Glad you liked it! It's been a while since we've done a mainly instructional video.

[@hooknboat2347]

Killer video brother

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks Andrew! 🙏 go get em!

[@jimbo4612]

Solid job in the surf and grill. that bass looks like it was cooked perfectky

[@Hook2Cook]

It came out so juicy! Not overcooked at all

[@edcastillo4456]

Good to see you back on the surf! Wishing we had stripers here in San Diego. Did you go North for the stripers, or did you stay in your backyard?

[@Hook2Cook]

Up north

[@salcalderon2125]

Limits baby! Yes sir! Santa Cruz is showing some slow signs of stripe bass. Going out tomorrow evening see if we can't get the calissa to flirt with them. Thanks for the tips bro! 🤙🏼🎣

[@Hook2Cook]

How’d you do!?

[@salcalderon2125]

@@Hook2Cook Darn hunny do list got in the way today. I'm making myself free tomorrow for sure. I'll hit you up on Instagram and let you know. 🤙🏼🎣

[@rogeliobravo4927]

I couldnt see the samd bars you were talking about, but so are we suppose to look for a big pool after the first breaker? Or a big pool after the last breaker? I kinda have a hint of what you meant

[@Hook2Cook]

The best spots are where there’s a sandbar from shore leading straight out with a pool right next to it with waves slamming right on shore. Fish either sides of it.

[@dereklowe9211]

Do u ever come to Oceanside or Carlsbad to fish I’ve gotten pretty good thanks to ur videos it would be sweet to fish with u

[@manseraoutdoors]

Jesse will get his next time up!

[@Hook2Cook]

Yup! He’ll be flying back soon!

What radio you using bro? Sick vid btw!

Kudos from South Carolina! Strippers are here now as well. What part of Cali are you all in?

[@Hook2Cook]

Central coast Santa Barbara county

[@theredman10]

Cool video. I would think salty stripes taste better than fresh water.stripes. Although ate some from Powell they were pretty damn good.

[@Hook2Cook]

Definitely better. Not that fresh is bad at all but salty striper are just that next level. Probably diet, Colder water and delicious biochemistry going on

[@theredman10]

@@Hook2Cook colder water helps for sure

[@kahizer]

where is this?

[@rich3782]

Ed, are your walkie talkies waterproof and how are they holding up with surf splashes. I'm looking for a set due to lack of phone coverage. Brand and model number please, thank you, rich.

[@Hook2Cook]

Yes these radios are waterproof and float. One is a standard horizon and the other is a cobra. Not sure which models but I’ll check

[@rich3782]

@@Hook2Cook Thank you very much for the response back Ed!

[@misterrso]

@@Hook2Cook It's illegal to use those radios on land. Those are marine VHF radios which can legally only be used ship to ship, or ship to shore. It's illegal to use them land to land. Please do not encourage anyone to do this.

Yea there’s been so much pressure there

[@russellchoi675]

Do you ever add weight to your calissas to get them to cast farther?

[@Hook2Cook]

Never. That would mess with the action too much. Just need the right action rod with braided line.

18 inch striper is a keeper in California. GOD Damn! on the east coast 28' is minimum size to keep a striped bass.

[@Hook2Cook]

Might have to do with striper being a non native species 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@coreyjbeats1357]

Aight time to get off my butt and hit the surf!

[@raymondthompson1476]

You guys say 'skunking' when you dont catch. Over here in the UK thay call it 'blanking'. Both those terms sound a bit negative to me, because i always enjoy fishing whether I catch, or not. Therefore, I've appropriated the term 'net-zero', which simply states the score - in the case of 'net-zero' the fish win, but it was still a great day/nights fishing, you just look forward to the next time when you hope to get a double in the (metaphorical) net. Just saying. Raymondo.
