I understand that public beaches are public but I sure don’t like it when I’m first in a spot and others crowd around me when there is plenty of room for them to go. I don’t walk out on the beach where people are swimming and set up next to them.
There are times where I have the lake to myself and people will come and show up on both sides of my truck. They get so close that from a distance(I’m on a kayak) it looks like someone is messing with my truck. Keep in mind the lake I fish has almost unlimited miles of shoreline so they can go anywhere else(like 50ft would even be great).Also sometimes as I’m packing my stuff to leave I’ll cast to rods out while I’m loading. Tell me why do they come and swim right where my lines are cast out at? 🤦🏻♂️
I hate it when this happens too! Usually happens to me with surfers…Came to realize that people just like being near where people are?
Great vid! Answering the wind question at 9:10 - wind blowing from land out to sea is called an offshore breeze. It's ideal for us surfers because it grooms and cleans the faces of groundswell waves as they break.
Can’t believe those A-Holes were swimming right where you were Fishing!
Ha! I lived in spain andcduring the summer we are only allowed to fish from 9pm to 8am due to the tourist in the water😢
People suck sometimes.
This is unfortunately the norm for California surf fishing. Doesn't matter if there's literally miles of open waters to either side of your fishing spot, people will plop right down into where you just casted. Or during the Dungeness crab season opener, they'd purposely walk under the hundreds of rods lining the beach and get "surprised" when they get tangled in line. Most probably do it from having zero situational awareness but I bet some of them do it on purpose as some kind of anti fishing "activism". Either way, surf fishing attracts a lot of these people that feel entitled to interrupt your fishing experience.
It's dangerous for the swimmers specifically when they jump into the ocean where you're fishing a cut between sandbars, where rip currents are common.
Great Video! I discovered the beach ebike a few months back, I have a QuietCat with a big rack on the back. All my gear, poles, waders go in the rack and I'm able to cover up to ten miles of beach looking for the holes (Aptos CA). No fish in a hole, no problem, just roll on to the next one. Im a very experienced mountain biker so riding is not an issue in sand, but if you are not, be careful not to turn the front wheel at a big angle or you will wash it out and go down...not fun!
Been surf fishing uncrowded spots for over 60 years all over So Cal. One day last year a solo surfer actually 'didn't' paddle out where I was casting. He appeared to be consciences and respectful of my space. How refreshing!
From your experience, what has been your favorite spot and any tips for a beginner
@@aaronespitiaespitia4803 Early in the morning before people, find the sand crabs or hopefully baitfish and tell nobody where you scored. Also never, even if your excited, let me catch you settings your rod and reel down in the sand. ANY SAND.
Adam, always lay your bike down on the non-drive side. Less chance of damage to the rear deraileur ( gear changer ) Also, sand, salt and salt air are murder on bikes. Rinse - dry - relube- repeat . I prefer the drip lubes (TriFlow) over the spray type. Spray lube can easily contaminate your disc brake rotors. A little blue marine grease on bolts and moving parts will also prevent corrosion. Good luck and thank you for all the great videos!!
Adam,
Thank you for the video. It demonstrates what fishing really is a lot of hard work. You had some really beautiful scenery on those beaches! Beats working!!
I was walking nearby one of these spots day before Thanksgiving and ran into a kayaker who'd snagged a limit of hali. Swung by the tackle shop on the same walk, asked the clerk about surf perch, muted reaction, striper, muted reaction, and halibut, "oh yeah, there're still some around." I was bummed I hadn't brought my yak down to try Thanksgiving morning.
I’m 70 yrs. old. You’re not even close to old age 😅😅😅 Been thinking about using an electric bike for surf fishing from Mandressa to Moss. Your video gives me thought about buying one. Good fishing and stay safe. Maybe I’ll see or Taku out there.
Tip: when you set a rod on a vehicle use the side mirror or bed/body gap that way they don’t fall and possibly scrape the paint.
Or break the rod
the second beach is twin lakes, the third one looks like pajaro dunes or just down thataway.
Thanks for the reality check! I lost count of skunk days and dinkapaloozas this year.
Ditto lol
FYI, Off shore breeze. A land breeze or offshore breeze is any wind that blows from a landmass toward or onto a large body of water.
Land out to sea wind is called offshore, which is good for surfers
Adam.. This may have been your best videos? Like most enduring long time surf hours for catching "a" fish. What bait caught the most? GULP sandworms? Bait stealing dinks on those soft worms. How do cast light lures and "NOT" wade up to your near hip (like most, lure casters) and still be top line surf fisher???
I have surf fished using those "trash" fish, live smelt on a long pole with a sliding sinker with excellent results for jumbo halibut in the past.
You're going to end up with quite a collection of surf fishing bikes.😊
I have a Hemingway cruiser and like it a lot.
Your one tuff cookie to be out there with just flip-flops on.I would be frozen by now.great video.
My boy lives literally down the street. Before he was able to walk down a pathway outside from his house down to the beach. Sucks its all eroding. Only time will tell how long that access will last. Also those were the days when them night stripers out there was the best lol.
@24:40 nice to see Caleb and Nick again
Why did the videos stop?
Was fishing my perch spot down south the other day and it was just massive jacksmelt all day...
You'll find & get'em Adam. Nice bike that saves on shoe leather 👍
Conditions weren’t great, day one. Glad you kept at it. I started surf fishing 5 years ago watching you, Ish and Matts. Thanks
More lure and bait time with the bike for sure. Himiway gives the E bike rider more for the money than RAD after owning both. Always love your videos.
That will definitely come in handy if you enter that surf perch contest this year
Where are you fishing where wind flows from land to sea, I have e fiberglass 40 foot pole to fly a 4foot diameter hellium balloon with electric reel , you could surf fish
way out beyond surf with me. You might get keeper halibut or shark. Interested .....??.. Tm
Meh,,,Tough bite but cool video. I have some of these lil plastics you used. I've never caught a surf perch in december before. I feel like many in southern california just put away their saltwater gear till spring but I know there is still good fish to catch this month. Cool video and great representaion of the sponsor 👍
Caught a 2.2lb perch at La Conchita beach just south of rincon the day after thanksgiving. Right off the storm drain in sand a large sand crab patch
Damn I was going to say you got the same truck as me….hahah someday. Tacoma was always my dream
Truck since the 2nd gen. Always my favorite RUclipsr to watch. Thanks for the content, we have been super busy and last few outings were filming failures so we have been slacking on the channel.
hey bro can i go for surfperch fishing at pacifica from april to july cuz on san francisco bay is closed until august that regulations is for the ocean too do you know
Adam, at 13:45 time stamp there are whales spouting on camera. Thanks for the great cinema in your videos!
lol more like seagulls diving to catch food..
can you butterfly open the smelt and deep fry em so the bones are edible - those big ones look meaty. I ask because the fried sardines at Greek restaurants are tasty bones and all. Thanks for your vids, I like that you share info on your setup.
Watching you skunk in the beaches I usually skunk in gave me a sh!t ton of confidence. I just have to find a new beach thank you for being sooooo transparent ❤❤❤❤❤
The only guy who I know still wear sandals n shorts in Cali at this time 😂 Die Hard
Why not the kayak near the surf zone and go after those perch??? Does that work? Just a thought
May not have been what you wanted, but any day that isn’t a skunk is a good day of fishing. The e-bike was a cool add, too bad it didn’t pan out the way you planned.
Glad you kept fishit even though they were totally in the wrong. I hate people. Great video!
This is how surf perch really is for me(nothing most of the time) but I still like doing it
this steelhead season is when i hope to get my first true steelhead
6 months no perch that’s crazy, I don’t see how that is possible
22:02 Same here, brother.
Hey, you looked like you were grinding hard. Thanks for the video!!!
Yes Sir happy you Posted!
Hey, don’t sleep on smelt! Those big ones can be day savers, and they also taste pretty good if you don’t mind the bones!
Or the worms.
@@kito1san They can’t hurt you. Halibut literally have the same thing.
lets roll!im down to go.
do you rinse ur bike down with fresh water after a days of fishing?
I'm in San Francisco and I've been looking into surf casting more. I have most the equipment (6inch jerkbait, waders, plastic lures) but I currently have a 9ft heavy action rod, and a moderate understanding of the locations (like dropoffs and channels). What rod or locations do you think might be good?
Have you gone to Gus’s Tackle shop on Balboa. Stephanie has everything you need at a discounted price. She can get you completely fitted.
@@greathighway4298that’s where I’ve gotten almost all of my equipment. I got an 11’ heavy rod from her but it’s too heavy for surf (lure weight 3-6)
I’m going to buy a Penn Fierce IV off bass pro as I have a gift card, it’s 10’ and better for casting small weights
Once I find my target fish I go for my big lures. That’s how I’ve caught my PB fishes
Hi brother! Which beach were you at in this video? I'm a disabled angler in a wheelchair. It seems like a place I'd like to check out. Thanks!
Did ya get the vanford 5000? Love that reel , super light, was at couple of those spots today , still slow my friend. Camo grubs are the go to my friend 🤫
Adam,Congrats getting a new sponsor! Gee, what are you? Late twenties, perhaps early thirties? Getting old? 😆😆I’d love to be your age again! You probably did not have larger profile soft plastics that may have produced the larger perch. But, as usual you put a die hard effort into catching fish.
Limantour beach would be perfect for riding this all the way down to sculpted beach, pretty good rock fishing out there and somewhat protected shoreline so it’s perfect to launch the yak too
Marin county so not too far from SF
How’s the fishing there? Can’t seem to get a bit.
Thank goodness for fast forwarding
Where was that beach?
Where’s this at ???
Nice! Explore some further spots!
Jack attack!
Is it safe to assume that bike sucks if there’s a lot of dry sand before you get to shore break?
What beach is this?
What beach is this
I see E bike manufacturers are going after the surf fishing crowd. I have seen two other surf fishing channel videos promoting bikes. Interesting, and this one looks the best so far. The main problem E bikes is that they scare the fish away……😂
Love the vids!
My bad knees keep me away from that spot😂
My sincere sympathies. That was brutal.
What backpack do you have? Thanks!
My friend where is that beautiful place
nice jacket!!
Land to sea wind is an off shore wind.
Ooooh I know that place.. 😅
I hate how that little bit of fishing messed up the bike commercial.
Monterey Bay?
Those fat tires just add extra weight, 80 lb bike is very heavy
Good effort
Are you in Santa Cruz county?
Yes for helmets 👏
Cool video.
“In my old age….”?! That’s gotta be late 20s for you? Wait until you reach my age of 58!
New subscriber here😊
I love your videos. I want to actually catch a hali this coming summer. Does anybody have a guide to trolling setups? Ive tried to replicate what ive seen on you tube but no luck! Thanks for any help👍
Whoever smelt it dealt it
At least your not skunked hehehhe
makes me not feel so bad when I drive 2.5hrs to get to a beach just to skunk. Even the pro has bad days!
your just skipping out on the one way to get exercise beach fishing! That hill is crazy for sure ive been before.
What where the small fish you where catching that you didn't want?please show next time and tell us what they were.
You know fishing is tough when Adam can’t catch a fish.
id've lost my mind on those people at the end, what A-holes
Yup The Fishing god’s don’t like Ebikes!
He chose a wrong day to go fishing Simple’s as that
You look petrified riding the bike
Laying your bike on the drive side 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Those bikes are just more Chinese garbage that will be falling apart in a year or two.
You should be happy when you can any fish, even if it's not the species you want. Don't be a downer.
Lure fishing sucks , too much energy wasted and shoulder pain, just throwing a Crab cut in half or small cut baits will outfish anything anywhere
