Giving this Bait a shot Surf Fishing for Striped Bass and Surf Perch California Beaches 

I just finished going through this I finally caught my first couple of stripers from the surf using a Kastmaster and a battlestar plug. You need to stick to stuff people use around you in my case the battlestar plug worked amazing. You have to find beaches where you see other people catch fish and sometimes that means skunking but at least you know that they are there!! And lastly you need to learn how to identify holes or deep water. Sometimes it’s hard to differentiate the water I know it all looks the same!! but if you look hard enough you’ll see the holes!! Location is key!! Some get lucky but people like you and I will only see results if you put in the countless hours! I hated using plugs I hated how light they were and I hated how I couldn’t cast them far, once you start catching them and realize how ridiculously close these big fish are I promise you u will laugh ur but off!!

Good points! I’ll keep trying. Took the owner of hookup baits out a few days ago and he got on his pb perch on one straight retrieve.

@@Hook2Cook tell Chad, what’s up and the next time you fish with him you can out fish him with his own baits 😂

My thoughts exactly, spread the wealth

This was the vr50 on a 10’7” okuma Hawaiian custom. Love the distance I get on this setup

It was definitely a tough bite even with the plug

@@Hook2Cook it’s a grind that we can’t get enough of 🤙🏼

How heavy were you throwing?

@@AnglerPOV I’ve tried two 1/2oz but I’ve gotten more hookups on a 1/2oz on the bottom and a small 1/8th or 1/4 on the top

@@AnglerPOV I don’t like throwing too heavy because it gets a little hard to jig and feel the bite unless you’re just letting it sit there but it mainly depends on the conditions I guess

Maybe the foul hook. Feels better to keep em when they really get the bait good

They’re 8fans boots for sockfoot waders

It was real sharp pain at weird angles.

Yea could be the color

Ships six days a week, but it depends on how close to the central coast you are

@@Hook2Cook I'm in Fresno. Is there a shop near Monterey that I can pick up?
