I own a home in Grayland, and use to fish commercially and deckhanded on charters for a living, and in my off time, I never picked up surf perch fishing. I'd love to get it down. how often are you down there?

thanks!

Post by: JDHasty on November 02, 2017, 03:24:25 PM: I used to fish for surfperch right by the old shipwreck at Open Sores when I was a kid. I had two hooks on and many times reeled them in two at a time. I tried there about ten years ago and did not have any success. I would love to take my kids down to Grayland and try again. They are fantastic eating too.
