500 or so casts later I was able to get my first legal halibut in the surf on camera :) hope you guys enjoy this one! I realllllly loved fishing for this one. Its been a while since I made a halibut video ;) so it felt great to share the adventure with you guys
Thanks to you both! Rodney, the drop shot/mullet rig blew the doors open for me on the central coast a few years back. It’s been many fun fish since. Both you and Benjie have inspired me to put in some work with the lucky craft. Cheers and tight lines.
@@mikec.7283 So Benjie uses 30lb braid and Rodney uses 10lb. Hmm... not sure which way to go, but I am leaning toward 30#. I like both guys videos a lot.
I was fishing cherry beach, in Long Beach one morning and this old man (on a diamond jig) caught a 49" halibut off the beach! The mouth was huge! Theres pics of it at one of the local tackle shops down there. It was at least 3" thick or more in the center. I saw him fighting it and ran over, he tossed me a 2' gaff and asked me to bring it out of the water. I couldn't believe my eyes! He was stoked! He said "my wife never gonna believe this" and it reminded me of Quint on Jaws, taxidermy man gonna have a heart attack when he sees what Im bringin him.
Great fish hard to catch those legals. Been watching your videos for years haven't seen any new videos 😕from you. We need the Rodney videos hope your well.
Thanks man! Im doing well! its hard to find the time! Moved to a new house, new job, and a second kid on the way :D haha ill try my best to fish this weekend :)
I was wondering too... In @Rodney's Fishing Adventure own words... "Im doing well! its hard to find the time! Moved to a new house, new job, and a second kid on the way :D " < 6 months ago
as u said we appreciate your video but I just watch you because see your emotion while you catch , make me laugh and enjoy just like I’m on the beach God bless u and your family and your productive fishing 👍
Thanks Rodney going to Get “Ugly Stick GX2,” & Daiwa BG. You HYPED me up ! Going to Try Torrey Pines Beach..... How Does You & Your Mom Cook the Halibut, Bake, Grill, or Fish Fry?
Yaaaayyy!!! A Halibut Vlog!! Thank you Rodney!! You're awesome as always!! Thank you for your amazing tips and advise I still need to catch my 1st halibut ever! With your tips and techniques I'll try my best and let you know? Thank you again Rodney! Stay safe always!!
Hey man your videos helped me move from fly fishing, which I couldn't do a bunch once I moved down here, to ocean fishing and bass fishing! Thanks a ton hope you're doing well
It was a grind :) but I was stoked to get one for you guys . I appreciate the positive vibes brotha , stay tuned for the next one :) I might want to try and get one more halibut before the trout fishing videos come in
Raphael. Keep trying. Look for spots that have fish. Halibut will be there also to eat these fish. Another thing. Target spots where people go to catch grunion. The halibut will be following them. My last tip. Look and study these other u-tube videos. They are full great advice on how to catch them from the surf. Good luck. Tight lines.
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel I'd love to see you fish at Quivera Basin (on the rocks across from Dog Beach in OB) I've caught a few halibuts there. I'd like to see how you fish that area.
Man if i could just fish with you for an hour!!!!! Best san diego fishing youtuber! Love your videos man always on point! Maybe i will catch you out in mission bay one of these days haha
Always fun to watch local fishermen in San Diego. Great videos Rodney very informative. I’m still on the hunt for my first halibut. It’s been a year journey but love the grind!
I just moved to SoCal on a three year construction project. I got an apartment a 5 minute walk to the beach. I'm getting set up Rodney. Hopefully I get sick of halibut! Heheh!
Ahhh thanks Michael! it was a grind for sure, finding the time to fish and actually getting a halibu to commit. But Im sure glad it did ! thanks for the comment Michael
Nice job Rodney, although you can catch flatties in the surf all year long, the sheer numbers this time of year are not there. Most of the halibut have moved back out to deeper water. 500 casts covers alot of sand. Halibut spawn and go shallow late may and early june which also coincides with water temp warming from 59/62 to 64/67 give or take a few degrees. I fished them alot in the late 70's early 80's. ( lots of fish, no pressure) they do pile up thick during that spawn time. Nice vid👍
Absolutely love surf fishing. That was a nice fish. You will get some great tasting fillets off of it. Love how excited you get when you hook up. Killer video. Thanks for the share.
great honest video and man you are patient .What you do think about putting a sinker above the lucky craft like a bouncing rig and retrieve slowly? it would help to cast further. I'm in santa cruz area and waves are high
Hell yeah Rodney!! The halibut was the fish of 10,000 casts for me. But I was able to pick up my first legal halibut offshore in hermosa beach on the hobie kayak. Used a hookup bait in sardine. Coming in at 11 pounds and 28 inches
Hey man I'm from San Diego . I don't no much about fishing . But do you have a vidoe on how to catch dungenes crab ? How do you have any tips. . Awsome videos
wow! I hope someone would show me that type of hospitality and tour of surf fishing there. im from norcal and i go to socal once a year. Wondering if anyone can meet up with me once im there
A-a-Rod What’s up brotha I have the white one and the blue one they’re rad I love the rattle, You’re the man bro keep up the good work 🙏🏽 for the info. Legal Halibut!!!!? 😱 omg
Nice video thanks from new Zealand we have no halubut here, so great to watch thanks. Have you tried shimano wax wing's, they actually sink and would skip along the bottom. They have the best swimming action of any lure i have ever seen.
Coming from AZ to San Diego this weekend but every time I go I only know the Piers and never ever caught anything. Wana do a paid Halibut fishing tour for me? Let me know.
Sure is! You can fish straight braid if you want to but the general consensus is to use a leader. The braid with allow you to cast farther and it’s easier to manage than floro and mono because it has no memory - it will also last a lot longer. If you do fish straight braid keep in mind that you will want to loosen your drag a little more than you would with a mono or floro leader because the braid does not stretch. If you are going to be setting the hook yourself the braid is going to exert more pressure on the hook so keep that in mind especially if you are using smaller hooks as they would be more likely to bend out or get ripped out of the fishes mouth. Enjoy!!
I’m sorry if you mentioned it already somewhere in the video, but where in San Diego are you fishing? This seems like a great spot and since I live in SD I’d love to check it out sometime.
Great video! I want to try that here on our coast in Ventura. Hoping I'll be able to catch some halibut, just not sure if we have any close to our coast. If your ever in our area, give me a shout out and I would love to learn some technics in person with you! Keep it up!
I lost hope for not catching a fish earlier at mission beach but after watching your videos, you gave me 100% hope to get one next time. Where is the exact location of this? Thank you 🙏
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel This was in the late 1960's maybe the early 70's; a guy was selling it off a small food cart on the pier in Huntington - it was some of the best fish I have ever had. I have not eaten a lot of smoked fish, but that Halibut shore lunch as a child sticks out in my mind still to this day. If you want a great idea for a restaurant, put some smoked fish on the menu - I am thinking smoked Halibut fish Tacos would crush the Taco scene in SoCal! I now live in NC, and I think Grouper would be a great fish out here to smoke. When I was on Tinian Island (Marine Corps) I ate some type of a Red Snapper cooked in a similar fashion - we dug a pit in the sand and build up some coals in it; put Banana leaves on top of the coals, then the fish, more leaves and buried it for a few hours. Dirt simple, and it was as close to smoking fish as I could come up with given the situation, but it made for a really great shore lunch (actually dinner). Don't think for a minute I am going to a tropical Island in the middle of the Pacific for 30 days and not take a fishing pole - that wasn't happening. But dig this Rodney, they have a species of terrestrial Hermit crabs running all over the Island which is butt simple to catch and is like Crack to fish. These Hermit crabs have a mussel on their ass the size of your thumb they use to hold themselves inside a shell - and the shells they use are those large Doctor Dolittle snail shells, which is a whole lot easier to crack open and get them out than anything found in the ocean. It is the best bait I have run across in my life. Takes all of about 5 minutes to catch all the bait you'll need for the day, and because it is mussel meat - it stays on a hook; it is the most righteous bait on the planet Bra!

had a great time yesterday fishing at mission bay with a skif, used live bait caught lots of sand bass and caught a halibut!!!

Exactly what I was trying this weekend, thought of your videos to help. Excited to hear about how to find them in the surf, needed the tips for sure.
Thanks Erik! I wish you luck out there! I will be trying again on some random days
Thanks for all the tips you gave me before you left ❤
Awesome! New to surf fishing. Catching a lot of perch. Want a halibut can you recommend a spot near Carlsbad
Thanks Rodney for all of your videos, keep them coming 👌😁😎🤙

Love this video and that was a sick halibut, he was very chill like up until the end hahaha
great honest video and man you are patient .What you do think about putting a sinker above the lucky craft like a bouncing rig and retrieve slowly? it would help to cast further. I'm in santa cruz area and waves are high
that would be a great technique especially when you have to cast super far. let me know how you do!
Good job Rodney! Which area of San Diego is this beach? Beautiful!
Can you come to the navajo nation? And catch some fish?

is 15 pound braided line strong enough? I'm new to fishing so I'm not sure what line to use
Sure is! You can fish straight braid if you want to but the general consensus is to use a leader. The braid with allow you to cast farther and it’s easier to manage than floro and mono because it has no memory - it will also last a lot longer. If you do fish straight braid keep in mind that you will want to loosen your drag a little more than you would with a mono or floro leader because the braid does not stretch.

depends on the fish! I do really well with Corvina during the full moon phases :)
