I know it’s a hike from you but If I ever visit him I’ll have to make a pit stop by you for some fishin! I think you will be full time before you know it. 🤙

Yet another awesome video man! The drone is definitely an asset. Also wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for sending the Happy Birthday message to Brock! His jaw dropped and he went nuts, could not believe it!!! We for sure hope to cross paths sometime out and about, we live in the rocks but need to get on the sand.... Best of luck on your next adventure! -Seth & Brock

[@Hook2Cook]

Of course! If you're friends with the Reprogles, you're family! Doing that for Brock was a no brainer! Hope his birthday was awesome and it's exciting to hear about his future adventures! Wish we had youtube when we were kids... haha

Enjoyed this video for lots of reasons and subscribed and will share your channel. Drone footage illustrated the complexities of reading surf features.The editing interspersed a variety of activities: casting , fighting a fish, the comradely of fishermen and cooking. I'm 73 and lived through the striper moratorium and realize the striper population is at risk.I want our grandchildren to have an abundance of striped bass. To help these fine creatures I've made changes. I never keep a fish. All my plugs and flies are barbless. Plugs have single barbless hooksyour

Hi Edward!! Been watching you for a while and love your videos, just ordered a 3 pack of sardine glow and I am so excited and I was sure to use your code. And the video helped a lot! Have a good rest of your day can’t wait to see what comes next. Much love from CA. Fish on baby 🎣🎣🎣❤️❤️

Agreed! it's so hard to tell from a wide angle gopro shot what the water is like from the sand! if people can get an idea of what they're looking at, it's gotta be the air.

[@salcalderon2125]

Thanks for the detailed info Edward. Didn't get any on my last outing a couple days ago but did manage to get me a few quality perch during the last 15 minutes of sunlight for my wife. Using your tips tomorrow evening. Awesome video and tasty looking food! 👍🏼🎣

Appreciate the aerial footage which I know takes alot of time and effort. Great cook out with family and friends! Question: Do any of you fly fish the surf for perch and/or stripers? I've been contemplating giving this style of fishing a try. Might be a cool video for the future especially landing a striper on a fly rod.

I enjoy your videos very much. I'm new to SoCal, you give great hints. Have you ever had any interaction with law enforcement while you're beach cooking. Specifically questioned about legal size after the halibut is filleted and preparing to be cooked. On boats, the fish must remain whole but the law seems vague to me regarding filleting on beach. Thanks.

[@Hook2Cook]

Thank you so much! No problems with law enforcement at all. If that’s a concern just keep the head spine and tail intact. Should be okay

For all the new guys watching- until you can eyeball a fish as good as these guys, keep it in the water until you know it’s a legal fish. The number of morons I’ve seen keep an illegal striper out of the water for three minutes high-fiving his buddies before he measures it and then throws it back in “alive”, will haunt me for the rest of my short life on this planet. If you like catching stripers.. especially big healthy ones.. keep em wet
