Nice work Everett! Love your vids they’re not only exciting but also very informative.

Nice Job I’m fired up!!!

😳must’ve followed the lure in! That was awesome the battery lasted enough to get that action!

Hell yea bro your kill'N it on stripers up there! Couple recommendations in the intro hold the camera up to eye level so the audience is viewing as if they there face to face with you than looking up at you. Bring a head lamp or light of sort if your planning on filming evening to dark. You'll defiantly hit your I believe you said 100 striper keeper goal at the pace your at!

Thanks for the tips I’ll definitely get a light for the late sessions. As for the camera angle, The beach was packed with tourists and I didn’t want to look like a kook talking to a camera so I tried to keep it low key😂. Not the best for YT

Found a school of semi giants, got 1 32-33in on the grips went 15lbs. Been getting them for the last 2 months but definitely hit or miss. Like your videos. Last night winds sucked but I think I can still locate that school. Missed some biggins on top over the last week before the 15.

Nice man congrats on the striper and the Leopard. Was this filmed before the red tide? Water looks amazing

I am thinking about trying surf fishing. Can you recommend any spots to try for a beginner? I am in Morgan Hill and want to try some spots in the Santa Cruz area. Perch, or any other kind of fish will do.

Thanks for the info on the SP minnow. I live up the street from your main beach and have had no luck over the years for stripers from the beach. I kill it fresh water but can’t seem to have success surfcasting. Seeing your videos is convincing me to try try again. How’s the striper fishing lately? Thanks again. Maybe see you out there one day

The Striper fishing right now is garbage. You probably have a better chance of hooking into a Seabass than you do a Striper tbh. Halibut has been good lately though

nice job bro, keep it up! how many stripers so far this year towards your goal?

@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231

SEASIDE ROOTS 6 so far but Im still editing some of the recent sessions

Nice leopard, looked like a female fish, did not see claspers on the picture at 5:31. . Light wise Amazon has a headlamp UV/reg combo that was 30 bucks for 16. keep plugging fish to 30 inches are in the system per the report from Bloody decks Nor-Cal and a few other sources.

Great stuff brothah! Have yet to catch anything on the LC lures... Thinking of hitting up seabright beach, I'm from Hollister, am I allowed too?

Nice vid, do you have a favorite lure you feel more confident throwing? Although sp minnow cast further. Being watching your vids n subscripted.

My all time favorite is the pencil popper with the SP minnow and LC 115 being my favorite jerkbaits. The Calissa 110 is starting to become one of my go to’s as well but I still need to put more time on it to be sure

How do you like the Okuma SST so far?

That's the "Witching hour" just before dark...That's when life turns on in the sea. Most of the time I do best at or after sunset...

Goid shit man. Had one if my best days out there last year. Caught 30 keeper size stripers on the late night sesh.

Sometimes that 30 minute post sunset bite can be more productive that a whole day of plugging! I'm hoping to get on an epic bite like that soon, maybe I'll see you out there. Tight lines!

The Santa Cruz Surfcaster for sure. Got love it when the bite is on. That shark fight must’ve been fun. I wish i lived a little closer, but its not too far from me. I haven’t hit the water to much this year but a bunch of my crew has been having some good outings.

Are you letting lure hit bottom?

@@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231 hey wanted to ask u where i can take my 2 teenage sons near where u fish. I would love to get them on some stripers n halibut. I dont need to go to ur exact spot cuz i kno a lot of guys like their spots to be private as possible n i respect that. But i actually live up in the high desert so id only be going around that area maybe once or twice a year if that. I grew up in salinas actually. So yea my boys will be here in 2 weeks n when i pick them up in sacramento id like to stop in santa cruz on the way back down n try our luck for a few hrs. So if u can give me a street name where i can park n walk down id really appreciate it . thanks

Honestly any open beach has striper, you just have to know how to get em. The Halibut spots are not really open for discussion, you’ll have to put in some time on google maps to find the right areas. Good luck!

Ok thanks 👍

No... not another Calissa commercial. You catch fish because you’re a good fisherman, not because of a lure brand. The best lure is the one you use, not the name brand you buy.

I entirely agree although in this situation the Calissa was the tool for the job. The best lure is the one that best fits the conditions. I’m not one to promote the idea that the Calissa is somehow the only lure you’ll ever need.
