As requested! this video is for you guys! San Diego surf fishing! Do you want more surf fishing videos?! lets get more than 500 likes and I PROMISE to make more of this :)
Like Benji said, "It's not easy!" That is until Rodney takes the stage! I mentioned before Rodney, you surprise me as even though it's your first time trying a different method, you seem to 'always' catch good fish! In your case Rodney,.. it's no longer called "fishing" in your world it's called "catching!" You rock!! Keep up the awesome videos, tips, and especially your awesome "catches!!" Be safe out there!
When you're reeling in a fish in the surf, back up towards the dryer sand, don't horse him, let it run unless a seal is nearby, and use the waves to your advantage the shallower the fish gets. Backing up allows the fish to get to the sand without being spooked from seeing you, thus making a last dash against the wave and resulting in you losing a fish. Hope this make sense.
So grateful to share the water with you brotha, truly a privilege. Positive vibes all day and new friends that I feel like I’ve known much longer. Thank you thank you 🙏. Can’t wait to see the next one 😉!!!
When I was a teenager in the mid 1970's I caught a 5 lb. Yellowfin Croaker in the surf at San Onofre on 6 lb. test with live sand crab for bait. Let them run as the wave pulls out and work them in as the wave pushes in. Very memorable fight. Unfortunately that was my last surf fishing experience.
Thanks John for sharing your story! thats almost 50 years ago! a 5lb croaker is definitely a prized fish! hope you find some time to get out there again :)
Literally just got back from same place and I got skunked, I’m new to the world of fishing but you’re videos have helped me so much. I’m going bay bass fishing tomorrow. Maybe we can meet up one day so I can learn from the best. Great video
Scale and clean. Steam with green onions in cavity. Prepare jullian ginger and green onions on top. Pour soy sauce over fish. Heat up oil until it smokes. Pour over fish. It’s awesome
Just got into surf fishing myself! Love how your first time out and you caught a bigger Corbina than I have the past month I’ve been fishing the surf 😂 hope to see you out there some time!
Completely new to surf fishing so no intelligent response Rodney but love the vibe and you keep it so simple On my first trip I want to keep it as simple as possible! I am in OC so not sure if challenges are different to SD love the differing vibes that you have from jetty to beach. I assume fishing of the beach would be more advisable for me 😃heading out this week😄
I am used to surf fishing in Jacksonville, FL. Just getting some gear to go out in SD this Sunday morning. Hope to see you around as I will be out weekly
Heard they are good eating! Was trying for some the other week..found some real big inch long sand crabs with roe but wish I new about looking for the rips..lol
Once you start surf fishing, it’s hard turning back to other methods of shorepounding! Stoked for you that you landed some beans! Definitely not easy 🤙
Love the video! Love your excitement. I have been catching from the surf in the LA area on a Carolina rig with a camo sandworm, but I am eager to catch on a sand crab soon!
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel Roughly what area? Was that in the Torrey Pines/Blacks Beach area or are you off the Saigon trail? Great vid though as always.
Ed P...yes! From the parking lot to Flat Rock. You can see the restrooms and the toll booth in the background. You can also see Tower 2 and Tower 1 as they’re walking.
I recently caught the surf fishing bug : ) I'm yet to land anything but a ray, but my goal is to get myself a nice bean or surf perch. I joined CSA page on FB and I've been learning alot. I'm from Az so gotta drive about 3 hours to find any beach. Hoping I can land some nice fish next time I go. These videos help alot.
So cool. Corbinas taste good too. I want to see you catch one of those mullet fishes that are jumping in Mission Bay. (dog beach area). There are some big ones but I can't seem to catch any. LOL.
I definitely enjoyed this video. I love all your videos bro but I definitely prefer the surf fishing videos. Catch halibut or barred surf perch next. 😊🤘🏼
yay! thanks this video was intended for you and viewers who love the surf ! It was a nice little challenge for me to catch some fish ! If we get the likes , ill get out there again :D
Corbinas are not line shy, that is a surf fishing myth, if they are hungry, they'll eat any bait, saw a recent vid of guy in Blacks Beach using an LC lure, I catch them in Camp Pendleton Base with ghost shrimp in the cove near the Cottages with Gamakarsu 4 and 6 size bait holder hooks with 10lb line that came with those hooks in packs at squidco. nice fishing btw
Good stuff Rodney! Looks like you guys had a blast. Just got invited up to central CA for Striper in the surf. That was awesome as well. If you haven’t, you gotta do it.
Hey Dave! I need to try that , ive been wanting to do that for so long now haha. thanks for the update ! Been a while since I saw you guys! hope all is well :)
Can you do a video on spoons that work for harbor/surf fishing? There are a lot of East coast videos on spoons but I’m having a real hard time finding anything for So Cal.
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel yeah i am going to the san diego river in like am.hour for the first time ever i would love if you could let me know a spot i am going near mission valley and i REALLY wanna catch a carp but i have set ups for bass .. catfish and carp thanks man !!
Just wanna say I love watching your videos! But I was wondering how you were fishing the sand crab? Are your letting it sit in the surf or are you reeling it in slowly?
thanks Evan. Very good question. I was actually sight fishing for the Corbina, I would see them beach up to the shallows, and then go back into the "deeper water" once I see them, I would cast to the spot where they would return
Switch up to a shallow water jerkbait and a heavier setup, and they’re out there. Also (no BS) work a drop shot like you would in the bay with your favorite halibut swimbait.
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel 17lbs Fluorocarbon on 20lbs braid good enough for surf fishing or should I step it up to a 20-25 Fluorocarbon and 30 braid?
Rodney Marquez go get the big one dude!! I didn’t get them on my first try, was out early in the morning, stayed there till night, I thought the same about my first tuna last week, but I hooked up on a late afternoon breezer!
I cant say exactly! However I can safely say , a lot of the beaches right now, from point of conception to imperial beach is getting hit hard with corbina in the surf. The sand crabs are abundant right now and the corbina are eating them this time of the year.
Nice job! Question, what type of sunglasses are you wearing and where did you get them? I love those type of sunglasses and I've been looking for a good pair to use when I'm fishing. Thanks!
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel Awesome! Thank you for the response. I will look to see where I can get a pair from. Keep up the great work on the videos!

Yo Adrian!!! Hey Adrian, it’s at Torrey Pines, South Beach parking lot. I don’t know why this spot is so super secret. You can walk to the spot from the parking lot. The spot fished was from the parking lot to Flat Rock. Go get em brother!
Good question, I was casting to spots where I think they were, and let it sit there for 1 min or so, I would reel in the slack , as the waves would play a factor in the line tension.
Hi Rodney, could you suggest good places to surf fish here in San Diego. I am a fellow san dawg myself and always wanted to surf fish but never wanted to bother swimmers or surfers. Would love some insight. Love your videos! Tight lines!
Currently , Ocean Beach, ocean side, del mar, Cardiff, ...honestly , they are everywhere right now THAT has sand crab beds. Thats the key, sometimes the beaches I fish that had Corbina before, does not always have sand crab beds. you gotta to check the beach out before
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel nice, I'll check them out. Great video BTW I learned a lot. One of these days I'll get my surf rig finished and I'll make a trip down there to take a shot at it.
Hello Jackson! thanks glad you enjoyed the video. I wont tell exact details, however theres a lot of beaches right now with sand crab beds getting eaten by these corbina and croaker!good luck!
John Kelly...Torrey Pines. More specifically, South Beach lot. You can see the the restrooms and the toll booth in the background. You can also see Rodney walking past Tower 1. I don’t know what the fuss is about revealing your location. It’s all about getting out on the water and helping each other out. All the sudden it’s a “secret spot”. Good luck Jackson.
