    Here's another quick video about how I setup my rig for surf fishing. For my gear setup, I use a 10' salmon rod and a Shimano Stradic ci4+ spinning reel. I use 20# braid fishing line. For bait, 2" gulp sandworms work best for surf fishing on the Oregon coast.

    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 went out surf perch fishing for the first time yesterday at Winchester bay and I had luck with just casting out far past the waves letting the bait sit on bottom and I just set my rod on a holder in the sand. It was easier for me to tell if the fish was biting. I caught 5 I just fished for 1 hour. Thanks for showing the rig set up. Great video.

    Hey PK, I just wanted to thank you for putting out these awesome videos on fishing for surf perch in Oregon, and for answering a bunch of my questions in the comments. So, following your recommendations, I am (almost) completely set up with two rods and reels, and learned how to rig Hi/Lo and Carolina. Plus I got a couple of rooster tails, and a Lucky Craft minnow. I live at the beach in northern Oregon, and have gone out about 10 times and had an absolute blast, even though I'm still kind of debugging the process. But learning at such a fast pace is great fun. So is catching fish! Anyway, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I sincerely appreciate your help. Oh, also, my 86 year old mom has been enjoying your videos. Cheers.

Great commentary! Keep up the great work. I real love his conservation ethic. Only keep what you can use, leave them for future generations. In another video he showed how he bleeds the fish and kills them. I used to bonk my bottom fish on the head to stun them and then cut the gills to bleed them out to get blood out of the gills.

      I lived in Brookings and some people think the fishing is better near a fresh water source. I used to fish in Northern Cal at the mouth of the Smith River. You can drive up the beach or I would paddle across from Ship Ashore. I’d you get there and there is a sea lion in the water watching you, just go home. They will follow you up and down the beach scaring the fish away. I use the same Gulp bait as this guy. The meat is a little mushy but it’s better if you never let the fish meat touch fresh water. Clean the fish in salt water. I only use the meat for tacos.

    In MA 2 hooks is max, except for ice fishing, which 5 is max, a treble counts as one, a lure, jig or device with multiple trebles is 1 hook. I wish the state would allow for 3 hooks so I could set 2 poles out for bottom fishing while casting a 3rd.

    Hey PK, what’s your opinion on fishing the afternoon low tide. I thought I’d try 2 hours before low tide and at about 1 1/2 hours before low tide I started getting one or two every cast and they were all very nice size. I’ve been watching and following you for some time now. You’ve gotten my wife and I hooked and it’s been a blast. By the way, we stay at seaside a lot and fish from Gearhart north to the wreak. Today’s fishing at low tide was just about three hundred yards north of the sunset beach approach. Have a great day and I hope for your thoughts on this. Maybe one day we’ll run into each other on the beach... Blessings, Mark and Whitney

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  Před 3 lety

      Hi, Mark. It should be good. The general "rule" is 2 hours before high tide to 2 hours after high tide is best, but of course, people have caught fish outside of that time period. Time of day doesn't matter either as they are always feeding. More importantly, look for troughs, rip currents, or where you see waves stacking near shore. And move around a lot too if one spot doesn't produce.
      Hope to see you on the water. Tight lines.

      PK Yi I've heard many times from people that surfperch go to bays to spawn, but I doubt it. I might be wrong on that point, and I searched online for evidence of this... What I know is that surfperch do not congregate in the summer, when they are pregnant, around rivers. They are abundant everywhere, in California oftentimes hundreds of miles from any river, pregnant or not, and they often live in the bays without leaving them. They are always present in SF Bay, regardless of the season. I know that because I fished in there a lot.
      I've seen people with surfperch in the boats in Winchester bay in the winter. I think they are everywhere and go to bays and maybe stay in bays in search of food but not for spawning.

    Hi PK, I’m heading down to Astoria thus weekend and just wanted to know if redtails are biting at this time of the year. Wanted to do some fishing at Gearhart. Thanks🤙🏼

    • @oregonlife

      Yup. They can be caught year round.

    Good job PK! My son and I were out at Barview the 22nd and got there late but caught 4 in less than an hour. I don't see the rocks out in the water on this video so am guessing your not at Ona beach? Merry Christmas!

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  Před 6 lety

      Nice. 4 in 30 minutes is good. Barview used to be my old stomping ground.

    Hi PK,
    I picked up a Fish Eagle salmon steelhead rod with the same specs from Cabelas as they did not have the tourney model. When I received it I notice the line guides at the end of the rod are extremely narrow and was concerned that a line knot tying braid to fluoro would not go through smoothly.
    Please comment, thank you

      @oregonlife  Před 6 lety +1

      Yea, the new Fish Eagle has very small eyes. I have one. But if you use a double uni knot like me, then I would go with a 15# mono, not a 20# mono like I normally use. That will go through the eyes a little easier. Because of these small eyes on the FE, I have decided to go with using an Ugly Stik instead. I have the 8'6" Elite Ugly Stik and it looks nice. I can't wait to try it out ... whenever the surf calms down.

    Hey pk love your vids. Have you ever fished the beach at seaside for perch? I take my daughter there to razor clam and she loves fishing so i figures we could do both in the same day. If the seaside beach doesn't hold perch do you know any close to it or tillamook (we clam netarts too) that would? Thanks man! Your channels great subbed after the first vid i watched.

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  Před 6 lety +1

      Yes. I've fished the seaside/gearhart area before. Did ok. Cape Lookout is good as well as Barview Jetty, and Tierra Del Mar. Good luck.

  • @calicooutdoors
    @calicooutdoors Před 6 lety

    Hey PK, have you noticed any difference between the Gulp Sandworms coming out of the new packaging vs the old packaging? I've gone through two packs of the new ones and felt that the worms were smaller and less durable than the old ones. Also looks like they introduced a partial vacuum seal as part of the new packaging which causes the bag to press up tightly against the worm and gives them a "flattened" appearance when you take them out. Not sure if I just picked up a bad batch or if this is just the future for Gulp...

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  Před 6 lety +1

      Never noticed it. Haven't opened any new batch. I've got some old batch from over a year ago I've never opened. When I began drying them out, they last so damn long, I think it'll be a year before I open my new packets. But Thanks for the heads up, I might have to open a new pack to test it out. If it's the case, then that's not good.

    • @calicooutdoors
      @calicooutdoors Před 6 lety

      +PK Yi Wow that is crazy, I go through at least a bag almost every month. I've tried the drying out method but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as well on the fish in my area, so I am stuck with using them straight out of the bag. Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

      @1kollonh Před 6 lety

    PK, how often do you keep the perch for home cooking, and how many do you bring home.

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  Před 4 lety

      I usually catch and release. When I do take them home, I just keep about 3-4 for a meal.

      @oregonlife  Před 6 lety +1

      Oh sorry, I'm going to keep mine. I actually got only 2. But I was at Sportsman's Warehouse today and saw a couple of rods that seems really nice for surf fishing. They are the Shimano Scimitar, and the Okuma SST rods. They are about $50 which is cheaper than the Cabela's. I will be picking a few up and do a review, stay tuned. Here is the link to the Shimano Scimitar:

    When I used to fish, even if I did not need them. I had a lot of co-workers I would take stringers of fish. t was not that they were lazy, they did not know where to catch them at.

    What do you think about the Shimano SpeedMaster XTC 14000 for surf fishing?

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  Před 4 lety

      (For the Oregon coast) I started out with a Ultegra Ci4+ 14000 years ago, but soon discover that it was way overkill. I'm down to a size 3000 or 4000 and that works a lot better. You don't need heavy gear for surf fishing the Oregon coast. Keep it light but that's just me. Good luck.
