Surf Fishing with a Tiny Crankbait

  • Here is a link to get the tiny crankbait from Amazon: amzn.to/2DoPhXR. I tied the lure directly to my dropper loop below the 2 gulp sandworms. For this setup, I used my usual 2 oz disc sinker, which lays flat on the sand and doesn't roll as much in the rough surf.
    These redtails surf perch can be caught year round here on the Oregon coast. The best times to go fish for these guys are during an incoming high tide.

    Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup czcams.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

    I have learned a ton about Surf Perch fishing from you PK. I had tried a few times with absolutely no luck and was very discouraged from surf fishing for years. I caught on to your videos and I slay perch every time now. I just had to see a master work. Keep up the great videos you are one of my favorite channels.

    Hey PK, just wanted to report that I picked up some of these and have been using them near Tillamook for the last few days.
    fishing with the lure on the bottom and a sandworm on the top. picked up 12-15 perch yesterday and today. Most were on the sandworm but the lure must act as an attractant. Fishing has been very good. I would say about 5:1 sandworm to crankbait.
    thanks for the tip.

  • @BY-bj6ic
    @BY-bj6ic Před 4 lety

    After watching this last week I tried some crank baits in Newport Beach CA. No luck but no one here is pulling in surf perch in November. I used a 3" rapala and pulled in a yellow fin croaker. I was really surprised because croaker and corbina have smaller downward facing mouths. Pulled in another with a Crocodile spoon. I tried spinners too (based on the Rooster Tail video) but no luck.
    PK has great ideas. Will keep trying. Thanks PK.

    If anyones wondering, those crankbaits are perfect for panfish and bass as well. Even had some trout hit them. and i got mine for about 30 cents each from ebay. They are an exact copy of the Yo Zuri Snap Bean, which is probably better quality but much more expensive. I love how well the cheap chinese hooks hold up against decent sized fish, i havent had any hooks bend.

    Hi. I'm new to fishing so I'm interested in how weather affects results. Why do you think it is the bites happen fast when storms roll in? What are the fish perceiving and why do they jump to the bait?

  • @davidbarnes241
    @davidbarnes241 Před 6 lety

    Very enjoyable video thanks! I may use this tactic over in the UK, I can see the multiple rig being quite effective here too. Do you get much fouling on the mainline with the hooks? Cheers.

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  Před 6 lety

      No, I rarely get my hooks/leader tangled up. I keep that loop short and close to the main line/leader in order to lessen tangle.

    PK, another great video. I love to fish on the CHEAP!!! I made a H U G E mistake a couple years back. I took my nearly NEW Stradic CI4+ 3000 surf fishing, and forgot to FRESH water wash it after a weekend of Sea water. I didn't use it for about (2) months, and then when trout fishing at Odell Lake for the seldom targeted MONSTERS!!! I've caught more trout over 2 - 3 pounds in the evening after chasing Kokanees all day. Back to my SAD story, well the reel was SHIT after that. Ollie Damon wanted $45.00 to tune - up, so I gave it to my little brother as a birthday gift. LOL. I said I was CHEAP!!! LOL. Tight Lines my friend.
