Title: jetty fishing and/or surf perch fishing westport
Post by: chaney on January 31, 2015, 10:31:26 PM: Hey I want to start fishing for surf perch and/or off the jetty in Westport. Is there anyone that can give me information, tips, or would be able to meet me there sometime to show me how to do it?

Use sand shrimp or clam necks for greenlings then hook a small greenling about 5 feet under a large float and let it swim along the edges of the rocks for big lings!! March and April are great months for shallow lings. Bass, I use a white or chartreuse 2" grub on a jig or a Rapala. Once again, watch our tides and weather direction!

Post by: kisfish on February 03, 2015, 01:02:11 PM: I love to fish off that jetty. There are great fish caught off of it. I never start fishing before the green can. Wear a good set of boots that have good traction. Lot's of big holes you can fall in if you slip. It's a good hike to get out there. You wont be running back and forth to the truck so pack everything in one trip. Just my :twocents:
