Usually out at copalis beach. Thats where we usually razor clam, then well drive up and down the beach looking for good spots to wade out into. Ill get out as far as I can without water splashing into my waders. Makes for a fun roller coaster to!

All of mine were caught on Mockrocks beach, that's Copalis Rock in the second picture. A bit of a learning curve, the first time out I think I caught 4, its been limits everytime since. Just have to figure out your rig and how far out the perch are (hint: you don't have to cast as far as you think you need to).

Yeah Im starting to notice that, Ill fish one spot about 10 minutes, If I get no nibbles I walk down the beach about 50 yards and try again. Usually will be able to find a school within an hour or so.

man you guys need to invest in a 10 to 13 foot pole so you dont have to get wet lol i use 30 pound braided line and i can  almost spool my reel. lol not getting wet sorry guys plus i dont have waiters lol

the perch are really close in like in 1 to 3 feet of water in some places. the spot i go to if i am going to surf perch fish is the westport jetty and i walk out about 100 feet and cast into the surf and nail them every time. oh i forgot to tell ya used spark plugs work great for weights lol

12 Foot lamiglass I dont use that for my perch though. I use my 8 foot ugly stick.

Me neither lol. Gotta live on the edge though it makes life interesting. Because it was a $190 doller pole and dont feel surf purch justify using it. Plus I hate using it in salt water. Ive ruined too many great poles due to that crap. Its my salmon pole that I usually use upriver where its 80% + fresh water.

gotta live life on the edge man. i use my 200 dollar ultra light for bottom fish some times. i even have used my fly pole with a spinning reel on it because its so sensitive. gotta do what you gotta do. i caught a 12 pound ling on my 4/5 fly pole lol.

[Fishaholic]

the strech thred works well just dont tighten it up to  much because it will cut threw the shrimp( i dig my own sand shrimp so its always fresh)

[kisfish]
