Catching Perch With My Sabiki | The Wrong Kind of Bait for Yellowtail | Fishing San Diego

We saw some awesome underwater footage of sea perch taking the bait! The San Francisco Bay is loaded with these guys. It is shocking to see the number of perch down there at one time. White perch, black perch, and also some rainbow perch were the most common. Shrimp is generally the best bait when perch fishing in the San Francisco Bay. It worked well for us, but the fish seemed to catch on later in the day. As you can see from the underwater camera, these perch were taking the bait, but on every other cast the fish seemed to shy away. San Francisco is absolutely loaded with perch. You can catch these fish on just about every shoreline. Perch are a great fish species to target if you just want some action and some good eating. This underwater footage of the San Francisco Bay was amazing to watch. You can learn a lot about your waters by using an underwater camera!

Come out to any of the public piers in the bay area and catch some perch! It's free, easy, and a lot of fun. Check out my other videos and YouTube channel for more info on how to catch them.
