Thanks much! Yes, still doing videos and I will continue for a long time. Tight lines!

Love to see what you have done with no camera on you in the past. Always easy to judge others.

@@Bo-gi8zw we’ve all done our fair share of bad stuff and Im not refuting that, but it’s not unfair of me to point out when I see someone doing something wrong. Throwing plastic line right onto the rocks where it’ll eventually go into the ocean is pretty shitty.

Mark E. I can relate‼️ looks like good info on your channel’s playlist.... checking it out 🎣

I not a fan of jetty fishing why we can't have docks or.platforms to have better access to our ocean where it's less dangerous to fish the jetty's are not easy to walk on and not intended for public access Like make a pier with cement with rails instead of rocks...

yea, it's really hard to leave the jetty without losing $5 worth of tackle.

Nice, you will love Oregon. Depoe Bay is ling cod city. Good luck.

Thanks. You too

Thank you. It was awesome, quite surprised at how hard they pull.

More Than Fishing thanks Jun. can't wait to hit SF again.

PK Yi Yeah hope to see you here again

Nice, Newport area is good. Good luck & be safe, can't wait to see the videos. Tight lines!

Danny Woo if I’m ever fishing in your area I would be happy to take you along with me so you could enjoy it again.

Hi, Scott. Thank you.

i also used spark plugs as well as padlocks lol

There are many fishing opportunities along the Oregon coast. Hope you get a chance to get out and explore. Tight lines!

Here's the deal PK, hopefully what you're posting will motivate me, especially Crabbing:))

DaDerpyDoo One what’s your rig if you don’t mind me asking?

I'll have to remember that. thanks.

Craig Davidson i saw that to... terrible.. i am one of the fishermen who always end up picking up others crap... annoying

I always picked up any small pieces of left over discarded by me, short end of zip ties, short piece of fishing line or mono, any man made stuffs. Heck, I even threw back the seaweeds into the water to avoid slippery and odors!

yes, I've fished gearhart twice before. I did ok, just have to move around a lot to find them. I actually do significantly better at barview jetty than gearhart. but these guys move around a lot, it's just hard to say that one spot is better than the other. I know one friend who does extremely well there at gearhart. I always welcome the questions - good luck.

Can't remember the hook size, but it was about a 2/0 baitholder. Just cast to the edge of the rocks and let it sink. they are in the rocks, so don't need to cast far at all.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I’ve been seeing a couple videos of people bottom bouncing plastics like that around jetties and rocky areas and it looks like a good way to switch up tactics when cut bait just isn’t doing trick. Do you find yourself using artificials or fresh bait more when jetty fishing?

I have not, but a friend does and he caught a 2# rock bass with it. they are just good for many types of fishing.

The baby ling cod wouldn't leave our sand worms alone.

Got jabbed by those spiny fins several times, not fun at all. I know the rockfish make you swell up quite a bit.

I switch between this and the Texas rig. But use this one more when jetty fishing. If I snag up, it's usually the weight and I don't mind losing that.

@@oregonlife Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. I'm going to try it out this weekend on the North Jetty in Bandon, I've been hearing that they have been doing well for perch there. I'd love to catch some perch but I'm actually more interested in rockfish. Any tips for that area?

Somewhat parallel. I cast out but let it pendulum back to the jetty. I let it sink until it hits bottom.

@@oregonlife thanks

not on the newer ones, that did happen to me with my old stradic FJ where it scraped against my knuckles. pretty annoying. another shimano reel that does that to me is the sedona 1000. if the can make the bail wire a little more round, that would eliminate it. looking at my shimano reels more, I noticed they could've done a better job with the bail wires (or maybe these engineers have tiny ass hands and it doesn't affect them while testing it).

We usually fish the channel side (north) and do ok. We just walk to where the beach starts, but most people go way out past that and do well. Night time is best, but a little dangerous. Good luck

Nicholas Figueroa is he talking Newport down by Balboa Island

It was an incoming tide

Something kinda long like a salmon rod works fine. Doesn't have to be massive. And some strong line like 50 lb. If you go light there you can still catch them but you will lose more bait than you catch fish. The rocks are sharp and so are there teeth .You can yank them right out the water that way and not lose all your tackle. Especially when just learning to jetty fish. Going there tomorrow. There is a pier and brewery next to it. So you can throw in a crab pot and grab a beer while you fish.

Baitholder hooks, 3/0.

That would work great

@@westcoaster3763 thanks for responding, I guess I’ve made some progress since I posted this comment. already caught a number of species on this rod in the salt (perch, rockfish) and even some freshwater species (steelhead!). And already added 2 rods to my arsenal lol!

@@Arnolschuachenegga awesome. That's great!!

hey, that's a really good tip. I've heard about it, but not sure how to rig it up. I'll have to google it and try it out.

Benjamin Smith just match your float to your jig size I.e. 2oz float 2oz jig..set your depth so you're ticking bottom and float fish away..stay in the strike zone with less risk of losing gear I run a 18-24in leader 20-30lb mono or floro

Thanks for the tips! I will try that next time.

I use 20# braid and the same for leader

Okay thanks. What kind of pole do you recommend?

@@drdarik I use the Okuma 9'6" ML -- same rod I use for surf fishing

Perfect. Thanks!

surf fishing is definitely fun. so much elbow room on the beach. and the scenery is breath taking. I'm always looking forward to fishing with new people.

PK Yi I'll be sure to let you know when I get to go back out on the beach to fish. Most likely it will be in the spring or summer.

In this video, I had a 7 foot. But now I use a 9 foot for better reach over the rocks.

Just a thought if you only use light leads say 2 to 3 oz ,then try an English carp/pike rod with a 12 foot length with a 2 and 3/4 lb test curve or a 3 pound test curve matched with a decent fixed spool reel.I take a multi section ( not telescopic ) all over the world for use with float, bottom gear or artificials but remember that they are not meant for ultra light spinners ,unless you use lead with them .the beauty of these rods is that you can put them in a suitcase when taking them on a plane, but you can get these rods with in 12 foot rod with 2 or 3 sections and if you use them a lot I would pick the 2 piece If you check KZfaq you can see them being used from the beach ,with a float or artificials from piers or the rocks ( I say English but Diawa ,shimano or even Shakespeare make them )

TheHumungus1127 yup, a lot

Thanks PK. I'm PDX based so if you ever want a fishing partner, please let me know. I fished Saltwater Bays for 30 years in Texas, but not much in Oregon.

Yes. I usually use a Texas rig when fishing from a boat too.

@@oregonlife Yeah, new to the coast and surf fishing. I’m an inland catfish guy that’s buying a place on the Oregon Coast. I’ll have to adjust my game 😆👍👍

Jack King a fishing rod

that one was a 7' heavy spinning rod from cabela's.

Yup. You can feel so much with the line on your index finger.

Well, thanks, I'll try that!

Here in Oregon, rock fish and ling cod and surf perch.

The jetty is open to everyone. But just be extremely careful and it's pretty dangerous. Don't go when it's raining, the rocks are slippery. Going on them can be a precarious balancing act. I don't jetty fish much due to these safety concerns. Good luck, and be safe.

OK. At my age I will stay on the beach. I have noticed that your surf rig varies; sinker on the bottom and sinker above the bait. Is one more effective than the other?

Hi Drew. Yea, I plan on doing that soon.
