John you should do a trip to central america
Are you using the SaltX on this rod?
Looks like not stopping at the Ruins for rain gear has carried over to your surf fishing. Is there a way to blame Halkias for this >?
R Pt??
Great video..Link for knee pads?
I wish just knew spot like this to fish like if I knew where this was I could catch fish like you. Do you have any tips on finding good spots John. I am not a googan.
John with that big spook plug are you just using a straight med to slow retrieve? Or are you walking the dog? Is that what yiu mean by "sweeps "?
John, love your stuff. Did you use a head or chest mount for this video ?
Are there any stripers out by miller place right now?
I was fishing today I was using a mag darter but wasn’t able to get them grab a plug they just followed the plug to the shore why is that ? should i have went with a slower retrieve
John do you prefer the the outgoing where you are. Have heard different stories from locals incoming is better. I fish that area all the time just curious 👍🏻
Still grateful to have learned the traditional pencil popping method when I was like 14 lol
Hey John thanks again for very entertaining and informative vid. Two questions. Any idea of depth of water at the end of your cast? Do you use the spook in full dark? Ok last one: you mentioned you switched to swimmers after dark with no luck. How about a sluggo, etc?
How do you know when to throw a plug/ popper and not cast out a bucktail instead ?
Also what boots do you wear with your waders ? Looking to buy a pair so I can fish on the rocks like you
Hey John great stuff as usual. A couple of questions. How deep do you think the water is at the end of your casts? Trying to correlate to where I’d fish in the western Sound. Do you ever continue to use the spook in full dark? Lastly, at the end I think you mentioned you tried swimmers unsuccessfully after dark. In that situation would you try something quite like a darter, slow sink needle or sluggo?
👏👏👏
Where was that place exactly? Can you sent location please? Thank you.
Hey John, what reel were you using? Its missing out of the description. Thanks
Have you ever taken a dump on the beach?
When fishing for stripers from
Shore do you mainly only fish the north shore all season?
