Surf Fishing For The Biggest Surfperch I've Caught Yet

- Oregon coast surf fishing for BIG surf perch, covering my surf perch fishing setup and what in my opinion is the best bait for surfperch fishing. There are a variety of surfperch fishing rigs but my favorite surf perch fishing setup is definitely the high-low rig. There is a bunch of different baits that can be used for surf fishing as well, but in this location that i am fishing there is one surfperch bait that is free and is very productive when it comes to catching surf perch, and that's Razor clams!
I arrived on the coast around noon which was right around peak low tide. Instead of jumping right into fishing, i decided to take advantage of the low tide and do some clamming considering how amazing this bait is when it comes to catching surfperch. I quickly found the clams that i needed and jumped into surf fishing the incoming tide. The bite was slow in the first two sets of waves but the third set showed evidence of a sandbar. This meant that i was gonna really have to blast my gear out much further, so i decided to go with my bigger surf fishing setup which is my 12ft Okuma Rockaway rod and used an extra ounce of weight to make the distance.
In no time fish were hitting with every cast, this lasted a good hour before the fish moved on, but in this time i managed to catch the biggest surf perch that i've caught to date.. coming in at 16" with a little bit of room for argument lol... you will see in the video that i measured from the mouth to the fork in the tail... leaving about another 1/4-1/2" of length.... either way it was a big surfperch and it definitely made my day. Most of the other fish i caught that day were average size so i didn't leave EVERY catch on this video, just enough to keep it entertaining.

I looked it up on ODFW that Perch you caught might beat the record or be damn near it. Thanks for the video man!
The best way to spend time away from non fisher type folk. Thank God, they can't, won't, don't, or ever will get fins, or feathers, beyond the supermarket !
17 inches to the very end of the tail!!!! That’s so cool. Can you go over your rig. I love surf pitch fishing!
Was just thinking about surf perchin'... unfortunately I'm on the road in Idaho for the next week or so. I'll be glad when this is done and I won't be traveling anymore. Thanks for the video Nick, you made my day!!
There are also pockets of Sand crabs / Mole crabs along the Oregon Coast as well and they make great bait for Perch., as does the shrimp from in the estuaries.
Redtail fishing is awesome when the bite is on. Thats a total slab man! Way to go . Keep your videos coming brother.
Thank you, haha I was pretty stoked to find a nice slab. I need to get back out there. It’s been a while. And so true, it’s awesome when the bite is on. It’s so easy to get spoiled that it really sucks when you can’t even find a single fish. Gotta have the bad days to make good days. Thanks for watching the vids!
Great videos! Amazing surfperch! 🎣
NICE, nice going Nick
I saw so many videos in the last few days them I decided tomoto go down to westport ( wa ) and go fishing. Thanks for the motivation bud.
Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you. I for one had rather be out there fishin rather than uh watchin! Appreciate the effort you put into making these vids
Great fish and sunset.
Nice catch Nick!!
Nicely done!
Great job again.
Very cool! Thanks for the videos!👍👍✌🏼☕
I caught one of those slaps last August. Babies started popping out as I unhooked it (they give birth to live young). Turns out August is spawning time for surf perch. Thank you for your video.
Hope you let her go immediately, those are the genetics needed.
Loved the street fighter sound effects
haha thanks, I've noticed that I've done it in a few videos now lol
Fish On brother!
Slab 16" nice catch man. ✌🏻🎣
Only get barred surfperch here in so. Cal...use sandcrabs for bait on them. Nice slab redtail there!
Watched quite a few of your adventures. Really liked this one. Im catching up on your vids now. I liked and subbed today. Good stuff man, keep em coming. How about a CZcams combo adventure with NWFS? Lol you're so chill and Leif is more hyper.
Sangat menyenangan mancing di tepian laut, sensasi strike yang beriring ombak🎣🤩
salam dari indonesia 🙏
SUBBED!!!
LIKED your newest shows!!!
it is lovely to see you again soon!!!
What a damn beast that one was. Daaaaamn
Nice man!!
I will be buying more of your gear I caught a 26 inch rainbow trout on the lures you made
Hell yeah buddy! Love them slabs 🐟🎣
You weren’t out there yesterday were ya? It was dead and helicopters were flying over too lol doing training.
That was a nice great SurfPerch you caught but they'll be better days when you catch alot of the same size 👍
Daaaaaaaaannnnng! That is a tank !
Dope video bro and try working on a crab boat you see that beautiful sunset every morning and every night fatty perch been fishing barview with not much luck not a fan of barview walked back and fished the lakes though must've recently stocked
That is one damn big male Redtail!
Beautiful time to do the intro.
Nick...will be up in your area next week. We have pretty much stuck mostly with the jetty's, but are looking to do some surf fishing. What, in your opinion is the best time for surf fishing, High, Low or Slack?
Thanks...maybe we'll see you on the water!
Man I miss fishing for Surf Perch with my Grampa Sam. They are damn fine eating.
Looks fun. Hit me up next time you head out.
That is a fatty Red Tail. Very nice 👍🏾
I'm interested in your terminal tackle, oz weight, hook size/type.
We miss your weekly fishing report from the Sandy/Clackamas Rivers.
I was going to continue doing them, but on the website or something instead. Videos that become irrelevant and outdated that quick on CZcams are really bad for your channel
I checked out your website for the 1st time. I'll be ordering something, do you have any Hats/Hoodies/Swag? I know guys at work would probably order some?
Can't click watch fast enough my dude!
Blasphemy--delicious razor clams as bait.
They ARE delicious but I don’t mind trading in scraps for whole fish
Wow! Did they dump radioactive material offshore because that fish was a mutant!
Where was this where you can drive on the beach?
That is a giant perch
That up by Camp Rilea?
What does anyone recommend for the best tides to Jetty fish I know it’s not in this video but I’ve heard mixed responses
Dude is that the new state record?sheesh I never target saltwater fish here yet in oregon but I will be hitting the coast this weekend if I can find a jetty near cannon beach be awesome anyone knows a spot on that area or lake DM me here thanks ya
Just subbed!

Okuma 🎣🤙
Awesome thanks! Just did the same
@@AnglingAddictsPNW 🙏👊
Hot Chow !
What beach is this?
Sunset beach
Is it better to have the clam or sandcrabs on bottom or above the weight ?
Depends on the depth of the water. If it’s really shallow it’s good to do a fish finder/Carolina type setup, but if it’s a bit deeper then it’s good to go hi-lo.
Man that was a hog of a surf pearch !
Those big females should be returned for breeding. Genetics of big fish should be passed on, especially these days,with heavy pressure.
Think of the future of all these fisheries.
Keep a couple small ones instead, my opinion.
I think I will eat only the largest fish due to the lack of respect given to this guy. Eat the whopper!
no one knows where your at @
