The really best time to fish is 2 hours before I arrive or 10 minutes after I leave.

When I arrive and am walking down the beach, I always ask fellow fishermen, "How's the action"? They say, "You shoulda been here last week. A guy caught a 48-inch Striper."

You forgot "You shoulda been here yesterday"

Late 80s early 90s my friends and I would go out on float tubes, 30 or 40 yards offshore, 20-30 ft deep, and fish for perch in Santa Barbara fairly often. We were poor so it was a great way to feed ourselves.

That 3 pounder was definitely worth the price of admission.

The first surf perch I ever caught was 3+ pounds. I thought at the time they all were that big. Haven’t caught one that big since ... lol

Thanks again , I really like these surf fishing episodes , and learning what rig you use for perch is helpful , for some.... And i think perch are a good source of food , and if prepared right it's worth the catch...🤝

Thats an awesome catch, haven't caught my first perch yet but thanks for the tips. Will have to change the time and hope for the best. Great videos!!

This is awesome ! I caught a huge perch too a month ago down at Jalama beach, CA. on sand crabs. Best fish tacos ever !!

Bro! Your one of the best KZreadr fisherman. Always catching these monsters and so knowledgeable.

Wow he was huge! Congratulations! Great video as always!

Very nice for the first catch dude, awesome!!

That’s a monster perch! Congrats!

Bro. Your fishing videos are Bangin'💣💥🔥🔥🔥

Hey Adam. Scored me an outback. Looking forward to being out in the Monterey Bay waters once i learn how to use the rudder and pedal system. Guy who sold me through in a downrigger which i've never used. Perhaps you have a video i can reference.

Beautiful! and the fish is nice too!

Love your channel brother. Best energy. Hello from Australia 🇦🇺🤙

Good Lunch and NICE DINNER!

Awesome catch !👍🏻

Great catch, huge!

That is a true slab! nice job

Your devotion to using sand crabs for bait makes so much sense that it should not be questionable . All they cost is a bit of time and are readily available . Plus the surf perch certainly seem to enjoy them . Patience paid off for you this time , well done .

In new to your channel my brother but in catching up by watching your older videos. I like what I see. Thank you.

Nice fish, hopefully we get some of those down here soon, i usually fish for them with really light line i use a 4 lb leader and a size 6 hook lol

slaunch!!!! Nice perch my man

Not sure about down there but up here in Oregon, if it's slow-you gotta move. if nothing after 5 or 6 casts, move 100 yards or so. Great vid-thx!

The fun of fishing for big fish, 🎣🎣🎣

Hey Adam what’s your PB surf perch

What do you usually keep your sand crabs in? And how long do they last?

Do you have a favorite tide for perch? An hour before incoming high tide that occurs with the sunup/sun down times? Seems like that would be when the bottom would be the most stirred up.

Dang bro 😮 3lbs sweet!

That thing was huge 😳

Dang it, I won't be getting into the surf until the end of May. Seriously need the decompression time. 5:15 Pepperoni seagull bait. You don't even have to unbox it.

Surf perch is a tasty 😋 fish 🐠 especially if bled, cleaned and cooked properly.

That big ole perch just needs scaled, gutted, 3 slices in the sides. Fry him up in olive oil, butter and fresh garlic and dill. Mmm I can taste it. That’s a bigen and a beauty.

Dang that a monsta 😳

My pb was 17 an half I believe I'll have to check but I've only got maybe 3 or 4 of that size my hole life the big ones are getting harder an harder to find for sure I'm 33 almost 34 been fishing since a kid so that being sed huge perch my man good catch thumbs up!

# 1 bait by far, and i have tried everything, is sand worms! real sand worms.

Was that on a soft shell crab? Never really had luck with the hard ones

This is beginning to look like it's going to be my new hobby! What are the size limits & bag limits for surf perch in california? I will be going to San Luis obispo county soon. Can anybody recommend a good location in that county to fish for surf perch for a first timer?

Thanks for info . What rod and reel do you use ?

What size hook do u use?

Surf perch is good but I prefer chili cheese fries🤘Great video

How far out do usually throw it?

Man I just want to catch a fish!!!

do you prefer carolina rig or fish finder

I like both. For tougher conditions I like the fish finder rig and calmer conditions I like the Carolina rig

when I fish for surf perch, sometimes I catch nothing but bigs; sometimes I catch nothing but dinks

Wow! What a slab! It's amazing how your camera deals with "dark light" conditions! It looked like you were fishing at mid-day. Good tips about importance of fishing for and catching bait at a different time/tide than for fishing for your catch. It's at least a 6 hour venture. The bonus of using sand crabs for bait you may be a likely to catch a striper as a perch. Nice video.

Woah.. That's a toad you catch there.

Adam: I'll just go out there and scope some sandcrabs. Sandpipper: That's illegal.
