Those cabbies are actually buffalo sculpin! Super cool species! Also dudeeee I watched you catch that massive black rockfish!!! I was the one that gave you the thumbs up!! Yo! super rad day on the jetty!
I appreciate you pointing that out, another guy I know mentioned that as well.. I’d say they would be easy to confuse but these Buffalo sculpin are definitely more like a huge tadpole shape.. I was just reading up on them. I usually fish further north and have never caught these before, I assumed they were cabezon since it was so similar in so many ways, but after reading, they are pretty easy to differentiate. Haha that black bass was such a surprise!! I was so stoked! I can’t believe I turned off my camera.. I love those kind of days... I will be back! Lol
I hope you get to see this comment. A couple months ago I purchased a 10 pack of your AAFCO spinners and today I caught the first steelhead of my life on the Kalama from the bank using one of your included spinners. It was the one that was black torpedo body with the silver blade. 12-15 pound hatchery keeper that fought hard for what must have been at least 15 minutes. It was the most exciting and meaningful experience I have ever had fishing. Gosh I sure wish there was a way I could include a photo of this big hatchery hen. One of the photos my buddy took even shows your spinner still in its mouth. Thank you for what you do and keep making those AAFCO spinners as I want to buy more and they really do get down there in the strike zone better than blue fox or anything I can find at the local stores.
I always love hearing success stories with my spinners! I take pride in making them and it always makes my day to know people are catching fish with them. Congrats on the Steelhead! you can always send me pics by email at vstoneinc@gmail.com I'd love to see it. The 10 pack must have been the 1/2oz set? I'm going to be making quite a bit more of those this year. I have had a lot of success with salmon on the 1/2oz size..
Nick, I think your "cabbie" is a sculpin. The sculpin have "horns". Cabezon and sculpin are in the same family, so they look very similar. (Ling and greenlings are in a different family.)
Ya I think you may be right, I thought they looked slightly different than the cabbies I caught when on my buddies boat a couple years back.. those were much bigger than these guys and didn’t look so tadpole like
@@case1bolt, yes, I know. I was trying to simplify; many are familiar with buffalo sculpin, and just call them sculpin, so I meant cabezon and buffalo sculpin are in the same family ... _sculpin._
I appreciate your video just to look at the scenery! The color of the water is beautiful! So many times i've been down to the north coast of OR and the water was gray or brown.
Thank you, i'm glad you can appreciate it's beauty as well.. I always say that catching fish is just a perk to being outdoors and enjoying the amazing scenery around us. Big tides stir all that sediment up, i love the days with a small tide where you can really pick up that beautiful blue
Thanks, oh man I was so stoked to hook that fish. Very well could have been my biggest. Wish I would have brought my scale to weigh it. Lol I will be back A LOT, fishing all over the coast. Hopefully my luck continues. Good luck and be safe night fishing. I need to do more but usually avoid it since I’m almost always by myself and I prefer being able to see haha
Thank you, this was a lot of fun. just got back from another trip and i was struggling to get anything on the line! Pretty hit or miss this time of the year
I caught a nice little break, still not the best tide and swell conditions though. I just spent another 3 days down on the coast with very little to show for it and it's definitely hit or miss this time of the year.. better conditions are on the way!
That's where i got the idea from. I used to do a lot of bass fishing and have to say, i wan't surprised to see this setup work so well.. and nothing beats being able to feel whats going on along the bottom and being able to run your rig along the rocks of a jetty... i've had a lot of luck using the setup!
Nice videos as always. I didn't know there was other jettys around. I always head to barview, but it looks like we need to do some more exploring.and it looks like you a fantastic few days at the beach. Weather wise and fishing.
There are a handful of decent jetties in oregon, they are just spread out along the coast.. I still want to make it further south to fish some of the jetties between here and california!...Get out there and explore! there are gems everywhere.. good luck
Another great video Pal.. I see on the ODFW website there is a 3 day a week Lower Columbia Sturgeon season this year. Hope you get down there for a trip. A year or so before i left Oregon a small group of us fished for them off Social Security beach. It was around the corner where the parking lot still exsists. .Got a couple too.
Thank you! Ya I definitely want to get out for some sturgeon fishing. Hopefully this year I can actually put some effort into it and make a video. They are so fun to catch!
It’s so fun to have so many options to fish for around here. I’ve been expanding more lately and ok be honest - I’m not feeling rainbow trout after all the fun I have fishing for other species.
Nice fish! I was out there a few weeks back for my first jetty fishing trip and there were sea lions everywhere for the herring spawn. Hopefully they're gone by the time I get back out.
I caught just the tail end of the herring not long before this.. I didn’t see any during this trip and from what I’ve heard, they are gone now. May be worth getting back out there.. but it’s jetty fishing, you never know what kind of day it will be.. best of luck 🎣
Love this, man. I need to fish the jetty soon as well. I'm juuuuust breaking in to saltwater stuff. Planning on doing crab snares and fishing for lingcod hopefully soon.
Thank you, it’s getting to that time of the season where things should be picking up all along the coast. It’s a great time to start getting out there. It’s nice having options for locations and different species.. good luck with the crab snaring and fishing!
I love watching your vids man. Glad to see your Pfluegers are getting action with all the different kinds of fishing you’re doing. I used to have one of those reels. Caught lots of salmon with it but then broke it lol might get another one soon
Thank you, I appreciate you watching.. lol I’ve had that reel for a while now. I can’t believe how much abuse it’s been through, especially going between the salt and freshwater. I have plenty of other reels but I will always own a pflueger if they continue to hold up like this.
Damn bro that was a productive trip! That was a nice rockfish and lingcod. I love climbing on rocks also. Ever since I was little that jetty has been the best thing to play on at the coast lol 😂 I gotta get down there some time this summer one last time before I move to Japan later this year. Keep up the good work! 🤘
Haha ya Japan is far from the jetty, better get some time in while you can. This is one of my favorite things about fishing jetties, you never know what kind of day it will be and you could have one of many different species on the end of your line.... plus it’s the beach, so it’s a win either way. Haha I do pretty good on the rocks but have my mishaps.. I have to constantly remind myself to slow down and take it easy.. rolling an ankle or going down and hitting your head will make for a bad day.. I appreciate the support man 🎣
I think things change season to season so it’s hard to say. I just stick to moving around since I don’t see huge consistencies. I haven’t tried the north jetty yet this season but the season is still young. I will have a better idea of what I think for this season once I get out there. Should be back out at barview again soon. Come say hi if you see me! Good luck out there
I heard they had different regs when it came to jetties and piers, but didn’t know the specifics since I NEVER fish there, though I’d like to sometime. Good luck and have fun... and be safe. Glad you will have an opportunity to fish!
@@TheReefRobber that would be nice.. your boat sounds plenty big enough. I’m always looking for those calmer conditions days. I can’t wait to get back for more fishing! Good luck this weekend! Let me know how it goes
I think i only saw one fishing boat that day.. i'm usually trying to not fall when i'm on the jetty so i wouldn't have paid too much attention to a boat.. you guys fish the jetty there or did you go out?
Every time you post a new video it inspires me to get out and fish. I'm not sure that my rods are suited for getting out to the coast but I'm never upset by spending a day at the river, even when I get skunked!
I’m a firm believer that if you want to be a happy fisherman you have to enjoy just being outside, surrounded by nature.. catching fish is just a perk.. a no fish day can still be a good one. It doesn’t cost much to get a setup for fishing the coast and it’s a fun fishery out there
@@AnglingAddictsPNW Preach, brother! I think we all need to see more anglers (and outdoorsmen in general) with this attitude. It's the same feeling I have when I go out for mushrooms: the worst case is that I spend a day wandering around in a beautiful forest and get to strengthen my bond with the earth. The best case is I bring home something delicious to feed myself and my family. It's a win-win no matter how you look at it.
Those ling are such beautiful fish. And so are the black rockfish; even though they are common, I think they are just spectacularly delicious! Do you know what your tank weighed? Anyway, good job, Nick. Killing it! Btw, would you please consider doing a quick tips video on fishing for springers from a jetty. The small window is upon us, and you seem to have a good relationship with salmon ;-)
I love seeing all the fish that come from these areas.. they all have their unique qualities. Honestly I haven’t done much salmon fishing from a jetty, at least not enough to do a tutorial on it.. I do seem to do pretty well when it comes to salmon fishing and I make spinners heavy enough to fish the jetties, so I may have to get out there and at least show how I go about it...
@@AnglingAddictsPNW, could you make a couple of spinner recommendations? Weight, color, hook size, single or treble? Any guidance would be appreciated.
@@xyzct I will have to check the regs for springer season. Then it’s be easier to make recommendations. I know that a lot of the time you have to use single point barbless hook when fishing in the ocean and if you are fishing past the furthest point on a jetty, then you are technically fishing the ocean and fall under ocean fishing rules. I’d be using 3/4 to 1oz spinners... and from Angling Addict Fishing Co obviously ;)
I thought i had commented back on this already... lol ya man that thing was a fattie, felt just like a huge toad in my hand.. I seem to always screw something up when filming... or something just goes wrong, or doesn't work right... lol the struggles
Great video as usual... Hey can you tell me about the rod you are using... Looks like maybe an ugly stick... Length? weight rating? Line rating?.. Thank you Nick
Thank You! this is an Ugly Stik Elite 8'6" Heavy Action, 12-25lb line, 1/2oz - 1 3/4oz lure rating.. It is a bit shorter than i'm used to using but it has put up with a lot of abuse and has caught a lot of fish. My other rod is a 12ft Okuma Rockaway
Im notorious for making little mistakes towards the end of these longer trips.. It's just another little detail i need to pay attention too, but as you said, it happens. I'm glad there was a bit of footage and a super nice guy in the parking lot who was admiring my fish so i had him take this picture. Overall it was a great trip. I just love being out here!
It was pretty rough the last couple times I was at barview so I didn’t fish much at all.. I’ve heard it has slowed. I will be back out there soon to give it a shot... there SHOULD be plenty of fish around but things change season to season... and no this isn’t nehalem, it’s much further south.. I’ve been wanting to fish all the jetties in Oregon so I’ve been exploring areas away from my norm
The tide very much matters, along with other factors. A good starting point is to pay attention to the tides and the swells. The bigger they are, the tougher fishing will be. And all jetties aren't the same, but i usually fish and hour before the tide change through an about an hour after the tide change. After that the water usually gets moving pretty good and that can make fishing tougher.
It carries over from salmon and steelhead fishing with a float setup, It makes it easier to see your line and i like knowing where my line is and what it's doing at all times if i can.
I was pretty stoked to feel a tug like that! I wish I hadn’t turned off my camera.. it was too big of a fish to flip so I had to get down to the water line... I ended up getting pretty soaked.. and that fish put up a GOOD fight.. luckily the season is just getting started.. should be pretty prime by the time you are back
I have fished there and the camera doesn't do justice to how treacherous that jetty is, or how far it really is out to the end. I decided to take a charter out of there one weekend instead of fishing the jetty, I thought I would be fine because I just got out of the Navy, so I didn't take the motion sickness pills they offered and I spent the trip barfing my guts up. I still caught some nice fish though. Hope to make it back someday.
This is a slightly lighter setup than I prefer but it depends on where I’m fishing, but this is 30lb braid to 25lb Seaguar Fluorocarbon.. my other rod setup is 50lb braid to 30lb leader.. same brand..
It depends on how you are fishing your bait.. most of the time when I’m jigging I don’t feel the strike, it’s just resistance on the line and fish on. But a lot of the time when I’m doing a slow jig with a little swimming action, it’s almost identical to the feel of a bass.. there have been so many times when I just felt a slight tick in my line or such a slight bend in the tip that I would have missed it had I not been looking at the tip.. so it’s not consistent but honestly I think all the large and smallmouth bass fishing I did primed me for rock fishing.. I do a lot of things the same way
Oh man, that's good to know. Thanks for the reply. I have been going out with 8lb test thinking it was like bass fishing. I got a new setup at bimart and will give this a try tomorrow. The ocean is a whole new ball game for me
haha i feel your pain, i just spent another 3 days down there and the fishing really sucked. in the 3 days i caught 2 Buffalo sculpin, 2 Cabezon, and a really small ling... and i fished all over the place! Wasn't really the best sea conditions to be fishing though, but nice weather... good times are on their way. Those smaller tides make a huge difference.
Haha I was thinking about that this last time I was out there. I may have to get back out there and bring some of my heavy squid spinners and see if I can find some fish.. hopefully I don’t let you down lol 😆
@@AnglingAddictsPNW no you have not let me down lol. I wish i could get out there. But there is just so much going on in life right now I can't seem to find time for anything. And with bear and turkey coming up too im in a mad rush to get stuff checked off the list!
Ill assume thisis Oregon. Soory about Portland.

Nice trip. Bummer on the camera mishap. It happens.
Im notorious for making little mistakes towards the end of these longer trips.. It's just another little detail i need to pay attention too, but as you said, it happens. I'm glad there was a bit of footage and a super nice guy in the parking lot who was admiring my fish so i had him take this picture. Overall it was a great trip. I just love being out here!
What size reel are you using? And action on the rod?
It looks look you used 1oz bullet weight for the Texas rig. Was it hard to have it sink to the bottom in such tide/wave situation?
killer! The Barview jetty has been a bit disappointing the last couple times I went. Is that the nehalem jetty?
It was pretty rough the last couple times I was at barview so I didn’t fish much at all.. I’ve heard it has slowed. I will be back out there soon to give it a shot... there SHOULD be plenty of fish around but things change season to season... and no this isn’t nehalem, it’s much further south.. I’ve been wanting to fish all the jetties in Oregon so I’ve been exploring areas away from my norm
does the tide matter when u go to the jetty?
The tide very much matters, along with other factors. A good starting point is to pay attention to the tides and the swells. The bigger they are, the tougher fishing will be. And all jetties aren't the same, but i usually fish and hour before the tide change through an about an hour after the tide change. After that the water usually gets moving pretty good and that can make fishing tougher.
what makes you prefer yellow for your braid? cheers
It carries over from salmon and steelhead fishing with a float setup, It makes it easier to see your line and i like knowing where my line is and what it's doing at all times if i can.
Big-ass Blackie!! That 'one more cast' paid off! I'm needing to get back home so I can fish... still out of state for the next few weeks. Aaaaaargh!!!
The other day I did about 400 "one more casts".
I was pretty stoked to feel a tug like that! I wish I hadn’t turned off my camera.. it was too big of a fish to flip so I had to get down to the water line... I ended up getting pretty soaked.. and that fish put up a GOOD fight.. luckily the season is just getting started.. should be pretty prime by the time you are back
I have fished there and the camera doesn't do justice to how treacherous that jetty is, or how far it really is out to the end. I decided to take a charter out of there one weekend instead of fishing the jetty, I thought I would be fine because I just got out of the Navy, so I didn't take the motion sickness pills they offered and I spent the trip barfing my guts up. I still caught some nice fish though. Hope to make it back someday.
😮👍😃
What lb test and line do you use for your leaders!
Also is the feel of the line and tip similar to a bass? Or do you wait till you feel the drag rolling?
This is a slightly lighter setup than I prefer but it depends on where I’m fishing, but this is 30lb braid to 25lb Seaguar Fluorocarbon.. my other rod setup is 50lb braid to 30lb leader.. same brand..
It depends on how you are fishing your bait.. most of the time when I’m jigging I don’t feel the strike, it’s just resistance on the line and fish on. But a lot of the time when I’m doing a slow jig with a little swimming action, it’s almost identical to the feel of a bass.. there have been so many times when I just felt a slight tick in my line or such a slight bend in the tip that I would have missed it had I not been looking at the tip.. so it’s not consistent but honestly I think all the large and smallmouth bass fishing I did primed me for rock fishing.. I do a lot of things the same way
Oh man, that's good to know. Thanks for the reply. I have been going out with 8lb test thinking it was like bass fishing. I got a new setup at bimart and will give this a try tomorrow. The ocean is a whole new ball game for me
I just love how easy I make it look lol spent 3 days there not even a bite
haha i feel your pain, i just spent another 3 days down there and the fishing really sucked. in the 3 days i caught 2 Buffalo sculpin, 2 Cabezon, and a really small ling... and i fished all over the place! Wasn't really the best sea conditions to be fishing though, but nice weather... good times are on their way. Those smaller tides make a huge difference.
Watch out for those things that look like cabezon. They’re called Buffalo sculpin and the spines are supposed to be poisonous.
Wya bro missing your content...

Get out there this weekend and smash some springers! I wont be able to so i have to live it through someone haha 😂.
Haha I was thinking about that this last time I was out there. I may have to get back out there and bring some of my heavy squid spinners and see if I can find some fish.. hopefully I don’t let you down lol 😆
@@AnglingAddictsPNW no you have not let me down lol. I wish i could get out there. But there is just so much going on in life right now I can't seem to find time for anything. And with bear and turkey coming up too im in a mad rush to get stuff checked off the list!
