How To Fish For Surf Perch

[@theotren9127]

That’s a good spot… LB yeah? And fishing very low tide allows one to throw past the sand bar where the fish are at. I miss those days… gotta get my rod and reel out soon and let the kids reel them in. 🎉

[@billbobby6855]

The surfs are horrible this time of the year. Been out there a few times now and the tide comes up to your ankle up to your vehicle. This makes it extremely hard to cast far out to where the fish will be… guess I’ll have to wait until summer to go back out

[@washingtonlife]

What did you fish with, shrimp?

[@washingtonlife]

Yup and some sand shrimps

[@SamuelGorman1]

Awesome video! Astoria bridge brings back so many memories. What are the little spring like things on the rig? I don’t have those and I am wondering if they are necessary. Also, I want to try this while backpacking and I am wondering if a 7.5 foot rod would work? Thanks for the good video!

[@washingtonlife]

Hello Samuel thank you for checking out my channel! Those spring like things are useless I don’t use them anymore and if you watch my recent videos I tie them a new way lol. I’m usually always trying different methods of tying and seeing which ones works best. Yes a 7.5 foot rod will work as long as you have waders to get into the water and cast it far out. My rod is a 10.5 foot so it helps me cast farther out since I use a spinning reel. Good luck and fish on!

[@melanies.6030]

What were you using for bait? I'm using the camo Gulp worms like everyone seems to advise, but I haven't caught a single perch yet.

Those are a hit and miss but the majority of the time I use clam necks, shrimps, or sand shrimps
