Turned Into a Jetty Rat Fishing the Humboldt Bay

Took a trip up north and decided to sacrifice some tackle to the ocean gods. I was rewarded with some fish in return.

Can you imagine al the tackle lost in those rocks? I know I've lost a few hundred pieces out there!

[@catchmeoutside4617]

Yes it's the most annoying part about jetty fishing!

[@tekkenjam]

May i recommend flat oval weights? When you reel them in they glide upwards naturally in the water which tends to avoid rocks more often. Not 100% fool proof but seems to help me save a bit more on rigs.

I used to live on the south jetty. My dad used to sell his own home made weights and jigs out there and made a killing too.

So crazy how much erosion has happened in a year. 10:45 That path you walked down to the jetty on day four is like a 10 ft sand cliff now

Awesome video! An great looking fish! Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see more! I also subscribed!

[@catchmeoutside4617]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tekkenjam]

should do a bait setup with some shrimp and go for some striped seaperch and surf perches. Caught some red snappers on shrimp before too.

[@davidbohrer5052]

I enjoyed that. thanks man.

Those little guys Ling candy…. Good stuff!!!

[@corydean707]

Is it allowed??

[@rkw221]

30-40lb mono lead might help a lot for the jetty

[@catchmeoutside4617]

Definitely would

[@TheDjScotti]

whats the name of the nearest town ?

[@catchmeoutside4617]

Eureka

[@CShivery]

That's the North Jetty at the entrance to Humboldt Bay. Very easy to find if you come out to Eureka. I used to live in Eureka. Great times.
