awesome man, thx for sharing. agreed - i think the more i fish, the more i release and realize i'm just there for the fight. i used to have a 9'6" light action lamiglas, but i found i couldn't cast too far in a head wind. don't you find the 11' light poles too whippy? how do you cast carolinas through a head wind? what size rod do you pair with the 11'?

Only time I eat fish is if I happen to catch one that I really like and it isn’t too big but mostly if I think they aren’t going to live I eat them if they look fine which is almost always I put them back

Max for that rod is 1/4 oz What he needs is some crab flies with 2 tungsten beads on the hook to sink it down. Maybe watch some Mikel Fishtory.

+daniel h guerrero it was man, do it! imma try a rougher spot that i know holds bigger fish next time👍

agreed!

+Eric Villasenor feel me! i upgraded my waders too, i was looking pretty corroded in my old stuff.

Eric Villasenor chucks are waterproof 🤪

ya dude! i had a blast with these dinks lol. imma try again, use my 2500 conflict though.

The Fit Aventureuse

+William Jones for sure! next time ill try it with my 2500 conflict.

Well its more about the rod than the line really, especially with braided. 8 lb braided has the diameter of 2-4 lb mono iirc. To me UL is lure wts between 1/64 and 1/4. The presso is 1/32 to 1/4 i believe so definitely ultralight, freshwater or saltwater. That being said ive seen people fishing with M to ML rods claiming that theyre doing UL fishing...posers.

good to know, ty

+SteamControlValve that's awesome! hmm I'm not the first person i know to have this reel bind, i wonder what your trick is.

The only thing different I do know is use khale hooks and rig them weedless

+OutNAbout415 👌

+NutSack-1 great idea! I hate dealing with the bags, they always leak.

Ish With Fish I even use some Walmart shad spray on the sandworms while they marinate in the jar. Im trying the worms out tomorrow at OB.

+NutSack-1 cool, lemme know if they produce.

+Team EVO Surf Casters lmao yah i was looking pretty ratchet. thx for the review, ill take care of mine, i really don't want to go back to my 70's waders✌

+CaliCo Outdoors holy crap is right, thx man. i guess UL surf fishing is a thing, hoping to try it again soon.

+squirms shed yup, and they're great eating too! in my latest vid i catch my pb's on huge kastmasters, 5x these, check it out🤙

Ps I've subscribed 👍🎣

+Barry Fisherman these surfperch have dorsal spines but not gill ones. best eating surf fish on the west coast! just like panfish. luckily we can catch them year round. i just caught my back to back surfperch pb's, vid posts on Thursday!

+Barry Fisherman right on, thx man👍

Ish With Fish looking forward to that mate

+Luiz Coelho it was fun, I'm definitely trying this again🤙

Top.

make very videos,all right,rsrs.

+The CLAWaholic good idea! if i can finally catch a surf striper on film, ill compile the footage into a structure vid.

thx, gopro hero 4 silver shot at 1080p 60fps

haha. i hope the komodo ss isn't, i have one coming in the mail soon.

+River rat i dunno man, it was only 8 lb braid and the waves did most of the work bringing it in. i'm guessing an early wave splashed up the rotor and got to a bearing.

I use almost the exact Diawa reel but on a shorter (5’6” or so) and slightly more stout rod. I string them with 20lb power pro and use them as my all-purpose saltwater pole. Caught a 39” redfish on that setup...between the give of the pole and the drag, those Diawa can handle a lot.

+Old Man And the Sea good point, never considered genetic diversity. ill keep a large, heavy female, but the avg female keeper is soft and lean and not worth it. hey does that make me a chubby chaser? lololol

Old Man And the Sea i was fishing pacifica pier recently and learned I could keep females as a recreational angler(it supposedly being illegal for commercial fishermen). My uncle always taught me to throw them back since i was young. But i never understood the no hook rule for crabs, does anyone know the origin of that? i need to get more snares and get back out therr lol also great vids keep it up

Ish With Fish. yupper. lol

Paul C. I would have to check on the regs for commercial crabbing. Since I arnt one. To much work for my old behind. Get them snares and get some crabs.

hi, i think i was using 3/4 oz in this vid.

@@ishwithfish Thanks for the reply and glad you remembered!

+Sowalnut Pov 👍they're actually pretty grippy on jetties too

+TR thx for the tip! helios looks awesome

yes this presso is the 4 piece model👍

+James Thatcher never live, but apparently they make great cut bait for leopard sharks.

+Sshooter444 thx for the info! did you work for the cdfw?

+Bay and Beyond Fishing sup man, yah i keep the light gear sway from sp, the sand is so soft it'll swallow your lead. depending on conditions, ill use a hi lo or Carolina, my 2 go to's. i don't have much luck with the ff other than sharks.

try suffix 832, its a stiffer braid less prone to wind knots.

frogg toggs hellbender ii👍

Awesome! Thank you

+Lookin 2kayak thx for watching! UL always a good time👌

+Tony Ascaso thx bro, you surf fly guys really impress me, looks impossible lol. i think i used 1/2 oz with this rod in this vid, anything more and i think the rod won't load correct. i was really really lucky that the fish were schooled up right in front of me and the tide was cooperating. its a challenge, and that's why it was a blast👍

+william melee thx!

+mario condello 😂😂 only because I'm not an old bitter o.g. yet.

fishermen dont have any nationality, they are simply earthmen who fish.

Gee man, why the racist comment? Everybody know You Latinos are the ones responsible for keeping the vast majority of illegal sized fish and keeping fish out of season! In fact, not just the fact that you guys keep illegal fishes but you guys also like to use your casting nets and sane nets to illegally catch fish! The local game wardens here in Maryland put a bounty on you guys' heads since they are tired of catching you guys using illegal methods to catch fish! Me and a few fishermen had talked to this game warden last year who told us he caught three of you Latinos on a boat catching a gigantic cooler full of striped bass using trotlines that were illegally placed in a fish sanctuary area! The fines were in the thousands of dollars he said! In fact, most white people in Maryland hate the sight of Latinos on the water since they are always involved in illegal fishing and fishing without a license and they leave tons of trash everywhere they go! A friend of mine called the game warden on two Latinos a couple of years ago who used a cast net to catch stocked trout! I called on a family of Latinos 4 years ago who kept a bucket full of undersized largemouth bass, crappie, and blue gills. I didn't want to do it but it was too much since that was the fourth times I had seen them doing that and I hated the fact that they threw all kinds of trash into the water and onto the shores! I even pulled several of the used diapers from the water that were thrown by them into the water after they had changed their baby's diapers! This took place in a reservoir that was the drinking water for the Baltimore metro. With Latinos being synonymous with illegal fishing and trashing, you guys shouldn't be crying about others keeping fish, for crying out loud! Also, I'm tired of you Latinos shitting on the walking trails! I have stepped on you guys' poops twice now! If you've got to poop at least do it a few feet away from the damn trails man! I know you've got to poop when you've got to poop, but damn you motherFers are disgusting and have no consideration for others whatsoever!

talk to much u dumbass better keep your mouth shut

after using it for awhile, mostly fresh and this one salt vid, i don't think i'd recommend it (i like reels that can survive salt). pros: casts a mile, big drag for it's size, balanced, very stiff. cons: line capacity is low, auto-bail closure is very very stiff (but i think designed this way so prevent premature bait set) so if you like to turn-to-close look elsewhere, the 2000-size cylindrical knob isn't comfortable, tad heavy, and the bearings seized quickly near salt. i got this reel cause it's the fastest 2000 size reel i could find 6.2:1 for whipping UL spoons. it's good for my freshwater needs, but for UL salt again i might look at a sienna or conflict.

Ish With Fish I love your vids

you better! lol just playin, thx for watching, i really appreciate it.

yup, drag it along bottom where the fish are holding👍

+Bob Kerbs wow, never knew! can you provide a link to the reg so i can update my description? i don't see that in the ocean reg pdf.

Ish With Fish I can't find one, but I'm willing to bet you can get in some kind of trouble there in California, tossing a crab.

Bob Kerbs I bring my clay pigeon thrower to the beach just so I can launch crabs all day long. I guess I should stop

+Cambren Sievert i'm using a plastic worm that imitates a fleeing sandworm. surfperch usually won't bite it unless you're retrieving it.

+Gino MSI 🤙

+Finna Fish thx man. i either have my fixed 90 degree adapter that holds it tight to camera, or run a lav mic along my harness. i highly recommend the mic i have listed in my description👍

Ish With Fish literally put all that stuff in my cart immediately 😂 Thanks for responding so quickly too!

thx man, it was a fun little morning, happy to share it.

+Puro Trevino this reel is saltwater rated, but in this video it actually locked up a few times. i read afterwards many owners experience this same problem. i wouldn't recommend it for the salt.

Thanks for the info. Thinking about sticking to a KastKing Sharky 2 for Micro Fishing. tight lines!

im using the 20 size jdm version, called the Triore👍

+1 Chef 2 Cuties this one just baaaarely hucked 1 oz. next time id throw 3/4 oz.

haha yeah these were some small ones that day. if you want a better sample of some west coast bigguns, check out my channel trailer vid. biggest saltwater fish caught by a micro pen rod on youtube i think.

Thanks dude I always appreciate fishing videos. It's still great to get out and catch no matter what the size is haha. I'm going fishing for some redfish and speckled trout here in a couple weeks . I can't wait to get my pole in the water 😁

+D B right on, 2 species on my bucket list. tight lines and gl🤙

Thanks dude. Reds are some fighters. They'll rip that line haha Hope i can land a couple 😁 good eating too. Have a good one bro

ive seen a few here and there in the surf, seems like they're mostly in the bay.

+Truman Sharp haha, as i mentioned it's legal to pick them up in the surf if they're keeper size. this is a common harvesting method when in season. no hook or line required, ranger wouldn't know.

+vsonic86 yes, it's a 4 pc daiwa presso. i love that rod for bank trout and panfish. been playing with it in the surf and local sloughs, salt builds up on the super thin guides fast, so you gotta wash it down quick.

Frogg Toggs Hellbender II👍

Thanks

What's your recommendation for shoes? How are you keeping the sand from not filling into your Converse?

+Josh Stew i only have experience with one reel of each brand, the triore s and kodiak. both are great for freshwater, but the Kodiak def stands up to salt much better. i prefer the higher gear ratio of the triore s though.

thx for watching. i recommend this rod with a piscifun carbon x 1000 reel.

I hope sir one day you recognize me as your number 1 fan in your channel and you gave me tje set of ultalight set up

Barred Surfperch :)

I can throw 1 oz about 40-50 yds

@@ishwithfish Thanks!

+Carlos Fung chucks, just in case a pickup game starts up on the beach 😂

lol thx Obama :) i usually toss lean females anyway, they have very little meat. that's an Okuma Trio S 20, the high-speed 2000 size jdm version of our Triore S. can't find it here in the states i think, have to get lucky on eBay or something like I did. great match up for freshwater, but froze up in salt (even though it's saltwater rated).

+letun3481 haha, yup, if I'm hungry i won't include it in the edit shhh

i wouldn't target anything over 5 lbs with it

i think it's tubular. the whole rod weighs nothing.

i think 6 lb in this vid.

@@ishwithfish thank u x

+Saltfisher 14 honestly i don't like it that much. i thought this one was shielded but it didn't last one session. i might use my conflict next time.

+NutSack-1 im scared! just what IF a 20lb striper came along...bye bye rig✌

+Dope King UL = UltraLight

+renato a jdm-only okuma triore 20s. the closest US version is their trio 30s.

+Jack Ack nice, what kinda fish do you target?

Ish With Fish - only perch...its gets tricky when a guitar fish wants to join the action!...

Owen Thomas haha, naw i ran 8 cause 10-20 lb stripers run these waters. 8 gives me a chance. a local guy caught a 15 lber on 10 test in this area.

Ish With Fish Awesome. I fish UL on the east coast for'em. PB #25 striper on #6 line (in the rocks), and a #17 bluefish on the #6 as well. Not many people get it, but those in the know got it good. Tight lines!

Daniel Drabkin wow, that's awesome. can you recommend a better ul reel for salt? i was thinking a battle ii or conflict.

Ish With Fish Funny you mention that. my setup for those fish was as follows: Rod: AJN APR 4'10" 1-5 lb UL (discontinued, company still around though) Reel: Penn Conflict 2500 Line: #6 Berkley Fireline (since upgraded to #15 Daiwa J-Braid (cheating, I know, but I'd lost too many 20-30+ lb fish in the rocks) The conflict has served me very well over the last few seasons since it came out. Like all Penns, it's solid as a rock but there's nothing fancy. Don't expect it to stay smooth long under the abuse of going light in the salt. I've dunked it, dropped it in sand, bashed it on rocks, locked down the drag for many fights... And it has plenty of life left in it. I usually stuff it full of marine grease at the end of the season before storage, and service it once or twice during the season if I think I've totally studded it full of sand. No corrosion issues, paint doesn't chip/scratch easily, feels tough. I would recommend it any day, along with the Battle II and Clash of you're looking for an upgrade of the internals. If you don't plan of giving it that kind of abuse, the recent Daiwa BG is very tough and sooo buttery smooth. Can't report on durability yet though. Lots of solid UL reels can be had for $75-150. Have fun!

I use the Daiwa BG 2000 for my UL setup paired with an ugly stik 6'6 UL rod. Check it out, you won't regret it!

+Shoreslow.Fishing.Games thx, fun times with these little fish🖒

yeah mate amazing ;)

it's a trio s 2000, the high speed version only available in Japan.
