This Bait SLAYS the Perch!

[@Imjoshuabailey]

Thanks for the support Benjie! 🙏🏻 always stoked to see you slaying!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

You're good people Josh, easy to support and share the stoke. Much love brotha.

[@onlyfish4020]

I can definitely vouch for big laut baits too!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

He's got some other sick options too. But these grubs are well made for sure!

[@onlyfish4020]

Definitely! I used the grubs in the surf and the carrot sticks in the bay!

[@mikeleavitt515]

I had the short hit problem when I started using the curly tail grubs, back in the late 70's. Solved the problem by breaking off half the tail. They grabbed the whole thing right away!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

That's a pro tip right there, thank you!

[@andrewcpham]

Very cool Benjie…thanks for the tip on how to use the lure. I like the underwater action and good job not letting your family go hangry👍

[@BenjieKimFishing]

haha thanks so much Andrew, hangry family is no bueno!!

[@angelamicay8748]

You make it look so easy. Spent 4 hours this weekend with gulp worms and curly tail grubs. And skunked. 🦨

[@BenjieKimFishing]

It's not you, its the fish!! You can't catch what's not there. Find the structure find the fish. But then again, some days they bite and other days they nap lol. I've got skunk days too bro, we all do.

Thanks again bro , your overhead tutorial , is such a huge help , to actually see what you mean , and I wanna check our those motor oil grubs , I'm here in Monterey Waters , so your on a Carolina rig , okay... 🤝

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Thank you brotha, means a lot to me. C-Rig works for me but then again, I'm used fishing much calmer surf. I have no doubt the fish finder rig or hi lo does really well too, especially up north.

[@Pestingandfishing]

Another amazing video as always! Keep it up!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Thank you!!

[@FOE_RUNNER]

Nice video! Keep em coming!

Thank you so much!

[@dewdog]

You are Killin it up and down the west coast! So why aren't socal perch as large as NorCal and the central coast?

[@BenjieKimFishing]

I'm a grinder and sometimes it works out brotha! I don't have any scientific evidence but many would point to overfishing as it wasn't very long ago that the big BSP were very common on our side of the coast. Given the pressure that we get on our beaches down here, I think I tend to agree. But who knows, it could be environmental factors (water temp...) and whatnot. And to be fair, there are still good BSP to be found, especially down in San Diego. But it still doesn't compare to my experience in the CC.

[@Chungy562]

Need me to pick me up some of those 🤔😁💯

[@BenjieKimFishing]

They're a solid option for a lot of different species!! I hope you're well Chung!!!

[@John-tv5fh]

Great Video i Live in Paso Robles what beach was that ?

[@victor_clark]

Yoo I've never been this early! My dad uses the motor oil grubs.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

haha thanks Victor!!!! Congrats on being #1!!! Motor oil grubs, tried and true for sure!!

[@salvcolorado9874]

Hey Benji, your first hook setup it was a Carolina??

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Hey bro, yes I just reviewed the footage and it was on the c-rig.

[@stylezNout]

Could throw a LC in that hole, surprisingly perch go after it

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Absolutely, I was chucking the lc that day for sure, it just wasn’t getting bit. Lots of salad getting in the way. The LC is my favorite way to target them up there but sometimes you gotta adjust and go with what they’re eating that day!

[@tansen3633]

Fun video😁

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Much love Tan!! I hope things are starting to calm down a bit for ya with transitions!

[@snipergene]

Nice! Is the water cold enough that you need waders? I'll be up at Pismo next month to take my daughter back to school. Going hit the sand once I hope.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

The water is colder up there for sure compared to SoCal. Personally, I'd recommend waders especially if you want to reach some deeper holes.

[@Thebign1g]

Great video

Lol, it's true though right??? I've heard that once upon a time, we used to have slabs all day every day.

[@andrewcpham]

Wait a min bro! I’m from HB and I’ve caught some 9-11 barb perch😡 not many but some. Lol…

@@BenjieKimFishing that's what the legend says haha. once in a blue moon, I'll haul in a good 13 incher, but emphasis on the "once in a blue moon"

[@greatestever3827]

I know what beach is this.

[@jimvalim1567]

I was about to say they were all female, but then I saw that last one was male. In the summer months the females are gravid and give birth to live baby perch. I'm glad to see you let that one pregnant one go. I feel that ever since the fish and game changed the limit from 5 to 10, their numbers have been dwindling. They should change the regulations to not keep the females during the summer months and to also reduce the limit back down to 5. Perch fishing used to be good several years ago, but now they are more difficult to find due to over fishing. People are so wasteful, they keep more than what they need!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Hi Jim, apologies on just getting back to your thoughtful comment now. I wouldn't be opposed to lower limits. For me personally, I release most of what I catch so my thoughts on that are admittedly based on my personal preference. Regardless of where one stands, I do believe we should all be mindful of doing our part to promote a healthy and thriving fishery!

Homie! Long time no see
