Founder. There he is. Aha
0:09
Oh, you got a bigger one on. Well good morning it is first light in mid-July 2018
0:40
This morning we're going to try something a little bit different. We're going to go for bottom fish off the Ambleside Pier
0:48
And I've only done this a couple times actually. I've fished from the beach for salmon many times but I don't typically go fishing off the bottom
0:58
around here but this is a great fishery that you can do with your kids here the day
1:02
and this morning I'm more in the morning and I'm gonna toss a crapp-trap
1:07
too so it should be a fun morning and let's get at it
1:13
okay this is the craprap-trap turkey neck or duck or chicken but around here the seals will eat the chicken
1:23
see there's little slices in the meat the neck just exposes some more
1:28
them eat that's all you put on there and there's a place to grab it like that
1:38
Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Alright. Here we go
1:50
Ready to bring it in. The trick is to bring it fast
1:54
Alright, get long. Alright
2:07
Look at those. There's a nice dungeon ass. Let's see if what you are, buds. That's a male, as you can tell
2:19
It's not a bad red rock. It's a male. This guy's definitely too small
2:25
That's a female anyway. See the round there? It's a good comparison
2:31
See that? That there is how it's a triangle. It's a male. That one, how it's red
2:37
That's a female. Can't keep any females. So let that girl go later
2:47
He's not, he's shot, he's short. Short by about a couple millimeters
3:07
Flounder. There he is
3:21
Aha Oh you got a big one Hey Asher we got one Told you we get one of these flounders What is that Flounder. Nice
3:36
I got this guy. I think those things are edible? Yeah, these are edible
3:40
I'm gonna eat this guy. Want to eat this guy, Asher? Yeah. He's a little bit small, but we can, you can touch them. Careful
3:47
It feels a little rough, hey? When you move up, it's really rough. Yeah
3:52
down he's really smooth that's right his belly's really smooth too yeah you want to
3:58
touch them a mini stingray hey yeah see this is a founder this is a pretty
4:04
small one to eat but we can we can try it right we want to eat it yes we do all right
4:09
something small uh yeah and this is a greenling so you can tell by the little bit
4:16
different type of fish it's a little greenling they're a beautiful fish hey look
4:21
that fish isn't that gorgeous there you go buds he's gonna be hurting for a day or two
4:31
look how fat that thing is he's got a belly look at his belly
4:35
his belly is he's got something oh what is that I don't know if he's pregnant or something like that or
4:44
that is a fat fat scalping look at that thing look how fat that thing is
4:50
Oh my goodness. Wow. Alien. Cool. What a cool looking fish. Yeah? Okay. Wow
5:02
Look the size that thing. See you. See a cucumber Yes See cucumber Wow Very cool All right
5:16
So you can catch anything around here. Starfish, cucumber, dogfish. Seweed. Seaweed
5:26
All right, so here's a setup here. So we've got a main line coming down connected to this pickerel rig
5:33
which is kind of, I've shortened it a little bit, it a little bit but there's a little separator and that goes to the bait it's a
5:40
little chunk of squid and then there's a line that comes down here and it goes
5:44
to the weight not that's the slinky this I like this because this doesn't get
5:47
tangled in the rocks very easy I've never I think I've only lost bait my I've only snagged up once before with this so it's pretty good and one important thing is
5:56
you gotta make sure that the bait sits above the baits it's above the weight
6:01
otherwise you're gonna be fishing on the bottom you want to feed just above the bottom
6:05
And this separator just creates a little, keeps it a little more tangle-free
