Zman goat? What color or size i just ordered 1/2 orange surf head
I use the Mini Goat in a Bloodworm color. The whole thing on a 1/2oz. Appreciate the support. Thank you! Good luck out there!
Hey ....my old stomping grounds... Next grunion run ( use a Sabaki rig on pier for sardines and save them) anyway next grunion run go at night and throw a sardine in the shallows when a run comes in ... take my word for it! Real shallow about knee deep! And get back to me! Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school California
Yessir! I haven't fished the beach after hours in years but definitely have growing up as a kid. Under the moonlight. Holes form in the wash from the shallow gulps. It's a thing of beauty!
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew One more before I go ....you know where Huntington "Cliffs " are right North of the pier? The waves break pretty far out there... the first 50 yards or so you walk your surfboard out because its so shallow....well there's " TROUGHS" ( pronounced troffs) you csn see them from PCH they're dark green places that are deeper....they hold the Corvina and Croaker! I use light gear a trout rod with 8 lb MONO barrel swivel egg weight 4; Foot leader and small sand crabs no bigger than a fingernail! Please let me know when you do the at Night grunion run fishing! 👍✌️
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew when you said holes form in the wash....those are the TROUGHS I was describing! They are dark green because they are deeper....you can see them when standing on " THE CLIFFS"
what glidebait did you use? any specific sizes? colors?
Bro!!! Tried that set up today in Carlsbad and straight killed it
That's what it's all about! Keep smashing 🤙👊
I’ve been fishing there for a few weeks it’s so much fun but I always have a hard time maybe I’ll see you out there one day and you can coach me lol.
That's what the videos are for 😊
From the bay to the surf, you’re always slaying brother
Thank you very much. I love fishing 💯 Glad you enjoyed it.
Hey bro you’re gonna make a good living off your jig heads in the very near future. Once you get the mass production dialed in you’ll be on easy street. I love seeing my fellow fisherman make a living doing what we love. Congrats brother 👊🏻
Appreciate that very much! Thank you 🙏
🔥🔥🔥 I got my homies watching to your channel 🎣🎣🎣
That's wasup! I appreciate the support. Thank you and enjoy 🤙
I hate that s*** when you set the hook so good and you got them so set and then they somehow get off the hook
Right! Especially when you know the hooks don't get any shaper but that's fishing. Appreciate the time, thank you 👊
So that rod you use in the end to catch that legal halibut was a fishing syndicate nice 👍🏽 can you you tell me the specs or model of it. Great mfkn videos outstanding!🎣
Yes, I love my entire line of Fishing Syndicate rods. They know how to build quality. It's an 8' MH 10-20# Bay and Lake Series. Thank you 🤙👊
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew outstanding man I'm going to mention your name when roll through 🎣🎣 might get a couple
drew where is this spot i live in hb thanks
Do you think these will work on the east coast for Whiting? Corbinas cousin?
I'm sure they will. If they eat mole crabs they'll go after it. I have a customer that lives in NJ that made an order looking to try them out for the same thing.
That BSP was huge! Congrats. That current looks just like my waters in Santa Monica Beach! Will be trying out the 1/2 oz Surf Heads next week!
It was riiiiiping out there! That 1/2oz will definitely help keeping it down and getting it out there! Appreciate your support, thank you 🤙👊
I’ve caught corbina that didn’t fight until I got it close and head was out of the water. Great product great video.
I love those things. You're the man Dude, thank you!
Just caught one at the same spot using the BPS XPS glide.
Awesome! Had a field day last week. Limit of legals and another keeper halibut. Fun stuff.
we r f-ing on jackson
When’s next drop bro?
There was one this past Friday. All the 3/8oz sold out and last I checked there were a handful of a 1/4oz packs left on the site. I'm shooting for another exclusive CZcams drop in 2 weeks. Here's the site: TOPNOTCHLEADHEADS.COM
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew thanks bro! Just want to try 3/8 red head.
Nice where at?
Southern California 😉
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew huntington harbor?
@@daley_driven nope. Thanks for playing 😊
Guys like you are the reason we keep loosing our waters; if we keep following every stupid rule they come up with and don’t fight back for our rights before you know it fishing will be outlawed completely.
New to fishing here. Is there a Saltwater baitcaster you'd recommend?
I use Shimano. The reel I'm currently rocking specifically is a Shimano Curado 200. It's not Shimano then Diawa like for example, a Diawa Coastal. Low profile bait casters is what I recommend. Also, if you're new to fishing. I recommend you pick up a spinning reel. If you're not familiar with casting bait casters. Be prepared for some growing pains. We all go through it. Good luck!
Appreciate you man :)
That looks like a cha cha glide?? 🙂
I got in on the last batch a little late and only got a hold of 2 packs but they'll be here tomorrow and I'll be sure to give 'em a try and get back to you with the results. Though I might be the only one trying to avoid 50lb stripers and 100lb black drum on the beach. Fluke (summer flounder) opened yesterday and I'm curious if our fluke will behave like your halibut and avoid sand flea offerings. Gotta love the spring!
Awesome, good luck out there. I'm sure flounder will act exactly like our halibut. Can't wait to hear how you do out there.
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew What do you think of the Okuma Rockaway SP surf rod (8'6", M)?
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew Any opinion on the Okuma Rockaway SP 8'6" M surf rod? Saw a great sale and i have 20% off coupon
@@dangareau I hear a lot of good things about the Rockaway! Know personally a few of the reps and am in tight with them over at Okuma. They're all very good anglers and respect their opinions. They stand behind it and actually have been looking to order a couple myself for my Pops since he needs a couple new setups. I haven't tried them out yet personally but own a couple SST which are great rods but are discontinued now and were replaced by the Rockaway. Which tells me they're probably even better.
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew Thanks man good looking out. I went and picked it up on Memorial Day Sale and had a 20% coupon, very happy that I ended up getting it for $64. Plan to pair it with a Daiwa Fuego LT-XH 2500 loaded with Suffix 832 10lb. Figure I can use 4- 8 lb flouro leaders with your 3/8 jigs for Whiting, croakers and perch and quickly switch out to 20 lb Ande mono for Albies and Spanish Mackerel when/if they randomly show up. So damn excited!!
Nice jig head, you should go demonstrate it on the beach. See how good they really are. 🎣
Great looking surfheads! Got the 3/8oz on the last drop and just picked up the 1/4oz this drop. Gonna have to get out there soon and try my luck again.
All it takes is one. Then you'll understand it and boom, set for life! Good luck out there. Remember to time that cast and work the bottom. They'll eat it just sitting there sometimes. I believe in you 💯🔥👊
Nice! Just picked up a couple 1/4 oz heads. It was all that was left 😢 What color Z-Man are you workin with?
Appreciate it. Those 1/4oz are the biz too. They all sell out very fast so I'm glad you got in. I use the bloodworm color but honestly any natural color will do. Have fun out there. If you have Instagram or Facebook, make sure to follow @topnotch_leadheads so you get in on the time/date for the next drop 🤙
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew Thank you and will do!
Got mine...hope to see ya on the sand soon.Keep up the good 'work' on your videos.Keep 'um comming.
Appreciate it very much, thank you! I sure will 🤙👊
My buddy just ordered some for us,, thanks for the research,🎣
Awesome to hear! Have fun and good luck out there 🤙👊
I don' tell those folks nothing
Are you using the 1.5" or 1.75" Z-Man Micro Goats on the 1/4 oz Surf Heads?
Package reads 1.75" before I trim it down.
Nice 👍🏽
Got mine!
Appreciate the continued support, thank you! Have fun out there 🤙👊
Gotta get me some of your surfheads. If you ever need a hand manufacturing, I would love to work somewhere fishing related. Great videos, hope to see you out there. (I just got back from the beach at seapoint)
Appreciate it, thank you! Maybe one day I'll have the opportunity to hire a team. Definitely a work in progress ☺️ They are live on the site by the way. This is the CZcams drop and they are flying already. Next drop will be closer to the end of the month if you miss out on this batch. Here's the link to the site: Topnotchleadheads.com Thanks 🤙👊
Got some of these but when u gonna make some in larger size?
Got a 1/2oz in the works. I want to match the mole crabs up in NorCal. It'll come with heavier Owner wire gauge 💯🔥
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew I fish local here in the same spot u fish when I was jogging the beach I seen u and your boyz out there grinding! Keep it up its just mostly windy here so hard to throw those light jig headz.
Let’s go
Boom 🤙👊
Got mine my boy! Gracias
SiiiiiCk!!! 💪🏽🤙🏽
Hell yeah 🤘 Glad you liked it! Appreciate it, thank you.
DFG been there every day this week.
That's good! I've been fishing that area pretty consistently for the last 8yrs and NEVER have been asked for my license.
Fuuuuck they trying to catch you dirty myboy …. Waiting on those drops
Nice fish man! Ever try using a bucktail for halibut? They work pretty good.
Thanks man! Yes, I sure have. I used to build them, fish them, and sell them. The longevity was outstanding!
I’ve been trying to get those surf heads my boy
Wasup 🤙 Every drop they sell out quickly. Just had a monster drop this past weekend that I announced on Instagram. Got another one coming just for my subscribers here on CZcams in the next week or so. I'll announce it when I upload the next vid so make sure you're subscribed to get in on the time/date. Appreciate your interest and support 👊
Yeah Drew I’ve been always missing the announcement but instagram,CZcams alerts turn on and checking my phone every hour. I’m up in Santa Barbara trying to get my trouphy perch and need theses bad Drew dog…
i just started fishing this winter. the rivers were not very active. caught my first fish last week. 40cm mullet. Im not sure if its safe to eat or not. Huge city river, where the river meets the harbor, brackish water from Nagoya Japan. I was super tempted to eat it but everyone says the big city river water is too polluted, so i didnt. We have something that looks like sheepshead, but less stripes. I know where to grab free wild tiny crabs and worms for bait also ! if i have more time, ill try more lures also. only caught one fish so far.
Welcome to fishing! I don't eat fish very often. Mostly for sport. Appreciate your comment 🙂
Very nice. Jumbo egg carrying crab ! Duuude! Thanks Drew
Heck ya! No problem 👊🤙
Thanks for putting the fish back.
Not a problem at all. I just had too with that one. She was GIGANTIC! We need that gene of hers to thrive on 💯
Oh man I can’t wait to catch a leopard/stingray/shovelnose on surfheads on light gear. It’s going to be a fight!
What a fight it will be! Looking forward to it myself 😁
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew how long have you been fishing surf heads? Just want to get an idea how new they are.
@@time2unwind690 a little over 3 years now but they went public mid last year. I've been dialing in my technique for twice as long though. I used to sell handtied sandcrab jigs, then moved on to Surfline Grubheads, and now Surf Heads. It's been a fun journey so far. Alot of fish 😁😉
Website restocked with SurfHeads tonight at 8pm.
I'm looking forward to buying/trying out the surfheads. Hopefully soon. 🤞
HEEEEEY, appreciate that! I'm just waiting on more paint to arrive and I'll continue building. Shooting for this weekend hopefully 🙏 Keep an eye on the site by this weekend. Topnotchleadheads.com
Website will be restocked tonight at 8pm.
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew I ordered 2 sand crabs and 2 surfperch!
@@snipergene awesome! Glad you got in. They're almost sold out again. Tracking will be sent once they ship. Looking like Monday or Tuesday at the latest 🤙
I saw you guys fishing, I stopped to watch for a few on my way to the breakwater.
Heck yeah! Come on up and say wasup next time. Always down to meet some friendly faces on the sand 🙂🤙
I don't know if I feel more like a stalker or a junkie waiting for the next batch of jigs to drop. Just 5 more days (maybe a week)... no pressure. Can't wait to try this in OC (Ocean City, NJ) next month, probably won't be able to try 'em in OB 'til summer when I visit friends and family.
Nothing wrong with that! I'm excited for you too. I'll try to remember to give you a heads-up when I drop them 🤙
@@FishingWithStingrayDrew Green Top with Red Orange bottom (like European Green Crab). Just in case you were looking for suggestions. JK, I don't think color really matters and would opt for the unpainted if they are cheaper. Do you see any difference since you're using plastics instead of live crabs?
@@dangareau Sometimes I do see a bit of a difference but not very much. It's more contour than anything.
@@dangareau website restocked tonight at 8pm.
this is awesome gonna try this out, i live in OC gonna have to try surf fishing it.
Appreciate that, thank you! It's super fun. There's a few packs left from yesterday's drop last I checked. Besides that, next batch will be available in a week or two. Check the site this upcoming Saturday. Topnotchleadheads.com
yesterday went fishing beautiful day HalfMoonBay, landed perch and a 20in Striper caught with Berk Sand Worm.... is that normal for a STRIPER to feed on these fake sand worms?...
Yes! Stripers LOVE sandworms. Congrats on the 20in striper 🤙👊
