Great video Sven, that was a really big Opaleye. Even though it was your first fish, glad to hear you were going to let him go regardless. I can tell you love to fish just to fish and it's not all about the biggest or craziest catches for you. You remind me of myself when I was younger, fishing is not as abundant as it used to be but more fisherman could learn from your school of thought. I look forward to more relaxing videos, keep it up.

Thank you for your kind words John! I would definitely have loved to experience fishing like how it was back in the day, hear a lot of cool stories from others who share in the comments haha 😂 while I rather catch at least something, my main goal is to get out there on the water to just unwind and chill. Catches, even dinky bois, are just a bonus c: more videos to come for sure! 👌🎣

And I agree, super rare and hard to skunk while fishing in Monterey, every time I’ve gone I’ve caught a lot something, dinky or chonky :D I’ve seen these huge Opaleyes at coast guard jetty too! They weren’t interested in any of my bait at the time but there are plenty of these chonky bois. I’ve heard that when they get this big, they’re a lot harder to catch but when you catch one, the fight is insane! 👌🎣

a few things... one: throw some chum... two: very soft, cheap rubber boots get excellent grip on rocks, it can save your life (not expensive, hard boots, soft cheap US made ones), three: steel weights will snag FAR less in steep rock, old bolts, rebar chunks, etc... last, the spider hitch rig is your friend in snag prone areas, I did a video on my buddy's channel 'cast and spear', that explains it easily

Good to know :D never thought about that, always opt for the usual lead sinkers, but it also makes sense because lead sinkers can still deform when you bash it through rocks so it’ll get stuck more, but steel won’t deform so easily :o

Hey man, I’m visiting Monterey for a few days. Do you have any spot recommendations similar to this spot under the hotel where I could get rockfish. I’ll also be trying the coast guard pier. Thanks appreciate it.

@SvenGoesFishing

2 жыл бұрын

That’s the beauty of Monterey, honestly anywhere along the rocky coast you’ll be able to catch nice sized rockfish :D just be careful where you plan to fish, Monterey has a lot of MPAs, some where you can fish so double check before you start fishing. Coast Guard Pier is going to be a good place to start, a lot of good sized rockfish are catchable even as close as the areas between the kelp and the rocks! For more consistent results, punching through the kelp and fishing that should have a good 8-12 inch rockfish, but you’re going to need a weedless setup to not tangle in the kelp. I would also recommend having a long braid with 30+ lb line to help slice through the kelp if you happen to get snagged in there c: message me on Instagram and I’ll see how else I can help, thanks for watching Marco L c:👌🎣

Nice video, I didn't know fishing opaleye in Monterey. I went to orange county and catarina Island for that. Do you mind how should I get there?

@SvenGoesFishing

2 жыл бұрын

Don’t worry, I didn’t even know there were Opaleyes up in Monterey until recently too haha. Most Opaleye fishing is usually down in SoCal, but along Monterey’s rocky shore there’s good sized Opaleyes, even at Coast Guard Jetty :D I noticed the bigger ones are a tad harder to catch but when you land one, the fight is insane! Any rocky spot in Monterey (assuming it’s not in a no fishing MPA) should have them so have fun when you explore c: I caught this guy on mussels, if you want to gather mussels, you need to make sure you’re in either a non-MPA or in one that distinctively says you can gather them c: hope that helps, good luck when you go exploring :D 👌🎣

I get what you mean, farmed fish can be iffy but usually, it's not that bad. In terms of ocean fish, it'll depend on where it's caught for me. For example, I refused to keep and eat any fish I catch in LA waters since it's always super polluted (I also don't like to fish LA waters often for the same reason even if I'm catching and releasing). The waters in Monterey are usually nice and clean though so I have no worries there haha oehha.ca.gov/fish/ca-fishmap ^Here's a map of any fish advisories in California, it's a nice resource if you're concerned about any locations that might be polluted. If the spot I'm fishing at isn't marked on the map, that's good enough for me c: Hope that helps!👌🎣
