SURF FISHING for STRIPED BASS with LIGHT TACKLE,,,(Using a Dobyns Rod and a GoPro HD Helmet Camera)
Posted by admin on Jan 21, 2012
Hello everybody,,,
This season I decided to use light tackle on the surf for striped bass and after a lot of research I chose the Dobyns DX783 SF rod,,,,,I had “so much fun” using this rod on the surf and I also used this rod in the Delta and in the San Francisco Bay and will post more videos in the near future so “SUBSCRIBE NOW”…
All of my videos were shot with my GoPro HD Hero Helmet Camera…
On this video some of my friends and I catch a bunch of striped bass on the surf,,,I personally caught three striped bass on this day “but” ended up releasing one so that I could keep fishing and the two that I ended up keeping I ended up giving them away to my friends on the beach that did not end up catching one on that day!!!,,,All that I needed was the videos and some pictures!!!,,,,To be fare the two fish that I kept that day each went to a different friend,,,,This was an “AWESOME” day of fishing…

How to organize terminal tackle for surf fishing? What do you reccommend?
Posted by admin on Jan 15, 2012
I want to go surf fishing but have no experience. We have a rod and some hooks etc but were not sure how to tie the best lure/tackle for the given conditions. The beach is a surf beach which has all kinds of fish out in the deep and it has an inlet where sharks often go to feed on smaller fish.
Here is a good general website where you can learn the typical rigs and practices for surf fishing. Although this is a North Florida website, the concepts and advice given will translate to almost any sandy beach surf fishing environment- http://amelia-island-fishing.com/fishing/rigs/index.cfm
The best knots to tie for fishing is the "Palomar", and the "Improved Clinch".
Hope this helps?

Folly Beach South Carolina Surf Fishing?
Posted by admin on Nov 24, 2011
Hello, i am going to Folly Beach South Carolina in February and also in june, i am an avid surf fisherman and was wondering if anyone could give me any tips such as where to fish, what kinds of fish i could catch, and what baits to use because i have never fished here before.
Thanks! and happy fishing!
I have three spots that might interest you. First of all, if you take a left on East Ashley Street from Center Street and drive down to the end of the island (there’s parking right before the roundabout) you can walk about five minutes down a trail to where the river comes out into the ocean. That can be a hot spot as a lot of fish congregate here. Also, the Folly Beach Pier next to the Tides Hotel has a little tackle shop that sells bait (and daily fishing licenses for the pier) and many people enjoy fishing here. They can also give you local knowledge as to what’s biting and what baits are most prolific. Lastly, driving down East Ashley Street from Center Street when you get to 10th block you can park off the road on one of the side streets and walk out to the beach. Lately I’ve been told there is a good hole out off of 10th block and that redfish are hanging out there. I haven’t tried it yet but plan to take my 9 weight fly rod out there this week. The sandbars are always changing so it may take some trial and error when you get down here, or ask the locals, we’re all pretty friendly. Spotted sea trout, redfish, flounder, sharks and skates are going to be among the fish you can catch. Shrimp (live or frozen), live mud minnows, and squid are the staple baits around here. Cheers!
