In this video, I go night fishing at Pismo Beach Pier. Best way to describe this video: How To Catch TOO Many Staghorn Sculpins?! A few Pacific Sanddabs, White Croaker, or Walleye Surfperch, (somehow also caught a Slender Crab!) but nothing else was biting besides the copious amounts of Pacific Staghorn Sculpins haha. It was really fun to do some night fishing at Pismo Beach Pier, there was just enough lighting to make it not so dark and hard to watch. I like the way this turned out, night pier fishing is rly peaceful and calming, should try to get out there more c:

#firstfishfreedom is a tradition that I started a while back. The basis for this tradition is to release the first fish you catch, regardless of what it is (prized, PB, good eats, maybe even world record someday haha). I will only keep the first fish if it is gravely wounded or gut shotted (and a species I can legally keep). If I keep the first fish, then I will pass on the tradition to the second fish, and so forth. Any day of fishing is a blessing, catching a fish and beating the skunk is another blessing on top of that, so I want to return that blessing and luck back to the fish, so they may live another day, get bigger, and maybe I catch them again in the future c:

[ Ссылка ] (Okuma Nomad Express, this rod is pretty beefy, I'd get this guy for charter boats. It's also a travel rod that comes with a case, might be handy if you like to travel and fish. I like to also use this while jetty fishing because it's strong c:)

[ Ссылка ] (Daiwa BG 4500 (paired with 40 lb braided), a pretty solid saltwater reel, great choice for charter boat fishing, can handle potentially larger catches out in sea)

[ Ссылка ] (Fishing Bait Thread, very helpful for securing non-sturdy baits to your hook, highly recommended if you use bait such as mussels!)

[ Ссылка ] (I normally use braided, my default line for general purpose is 20 lb Power Pro Spectra Braided Line, Moss Green. Choose the lb you need for what you're targeting, but you can never go wrong with this brand).

[ Ссылка ] (GoPro Hero9 Black: The GoPro I'm currently using. Great battery life, especially when filming in 1080p. Favorite function is the stabilization option, keeps footage from getting too jumbly :D)

[ Ссылка ] (Fingerless Fishing Gloves, they got UV protection and they don't feel like they get in the way when you're handling fish or bait, highly recommend these c:)

[ Ссылка ] (Hurricane Double Drop 20 lb Surf Fishing Leaders, not sure why it's so pricy on here, definitely can get them cheaper at stores like Walmart, a good choice if you want to have premade and pre-looped high low rigs ready!)

[ Ссылка ] (Headlamp I used in this video, it's pretty strong and reliable, rechargeable too so that's pretty neat. Good budget night fishing headlamp for sure c:)
