Winter Sea Perch Fishing in WA | Day time and night time fishing at Puget sound public fishing pier

[@WAFishQuest]

Wow! I had no idea they bit at night. They must not like squid jigs! 😂 Even though many were smaller, that was a great day/night of catching! That 1 pounder was very nice!

[@BashiWAFishing]

Thanks man, it's harder to find them at night time. I usually fish for them at daytime.

[@BashiWAFishing]

This year, even squid don't like squid jigs :(, such a slow year for squid

[@Antonio253s]

I know right!, I was bummed out about the squid season, I was really having some hopes up for some squid this year too.

[@BashiWAFishing]

@@Antonio253s This year will be better, we had this situation before in 2018

[@DaKevMAN100]

Hi Bashi, thanks for these videos. Tried this last weekend with a friend @Edmonds but seemed like nobody was catching anything. It was a cold, cloudy day. What factors should we look for before heading out, that might increase chance of a bite?

[@BashiWAFishing]

In the app tide 4 fishing, there is data for air pressure, I won't go if the air pressure is not inside the blue range

[@jianfenggeng3516]

@@BashiWAFishing Interesting, how air pressure matters? Thinking about 10 meters water pressure will be equivalent one atmosphere of pressure.

[@BashiWAFishing]

@@jianfenggeng3516 Check the tide 4 fishing app, it explains the air pressure data.

[@brendanwoerner3352]

Was just there. I was going for lingcod. Only a rockfish have you ever tried lingcod? Doesn’t seem like many are there

[@BashiWAFishing]

You might want to go to deception pass for lingcod, Edmonds is good if you have a boat

[@808redneckify]

Should be running a squid jig too!😯🤣

[@BashiWAFishing]

A few guys were there for squid, they pulled out a few squid while I was there

[@evaninja451]

Very instructive, thank you! Have you fished for striped perch near Mukilteo pier or near Whidbey island before? Thinking of trying that out too

[@BashiWAFishing]

Try Coupeville pier, any place you can find pier and rock structure should work

[@evaninja451]

Hi @Bashi, I just wanted to let you know that your video really helped me. I was able to catch two striped perch a few weeks ago fishing the nighttime spot, it was a very clear night at low tide. As you said the fish are very close to the jetty at the Edmonds spot

[@BashiWAFishing]

@@evaninja451 Glad you got some fish, it will be harder when the water warms up

[@BashiWAFishing]

@@evaninja451 Thanks for looping back to me! I'm glad you were able to hook some fish, it will be harder after the water warms up

[@evaninja451]

@@BashiWAFishing thank you!! Yes, and I had good results thanks to your tips. I have been a few times since but have not had the same luck as I did during evening low tide on calm waters. I might try to go again on Monday to catch the 9 PM -1.6 tide

[@JuanSanchez-he4cr]

Do u know when the seasion for this fish Ends likewhat month

[@BashiWAFishing]

It never really ends, but will be hard to find when the water warms up, like March. But you can find them year around at west coast, I have a video at the jetty fishing for them in the summer.

[@slabslayers]

Looks like fun, and nice video. What size and type of hook are you fishing with?

[@BashiWAFishing]

Any type of hook should work, I like bigger hook, so I use size 6, other people use size 10

[@TristanThompson-le6lv]

Hey have u ever found worms in the striped perch ?

[@BashiWAFishing]

I did not, but I assume they have worms

[@MIRVECTORA]

what size are the hooks? and fluorocarbon line or something else? do you smear the bait with something - like a smelly gel?

[@BashiWAFishing]

size 6 to 10 hooks, I use mono line, the bait is just raw shrimp from Asian food market

[@naanua_b]

Are these legal to keep in puget sound waters or only coast ?

[@BashiWAFishing]

Legal in puget sound

[@tazmsb3294]

Just caught a rock fish and 2 ghost fish out there today release tho shrimp bait 🕺🏿🕺🏿🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@BashiWAFishing]

A lot of rock fish there

[@zenxu7968]

Awesome video, dude. Why pile perch in Jan? Because they are more active in this particular month? I heard surf perch is more active during spawning season, which is in Spring, right?

[@BashiWAFishing]

January is for Puget sound, you can find them year around at west coast; For surf perch, I have better luck in winter too.

[@zenxu7968]

@@BashiWAFishing Thanks, man. I have been a hardcore fisherman myself, but have not fished much in recent years as I am now living in Scottsdale Arizona. Will move to the Edmonds/Mukilteo area in a few months. Just started to collect fishing info around Puget Sound. Your site has lots of great information. I really appreciate it.

@@zenxu7968 Let me know when you are here, WA has lakes and ocean, perfect for fishing
