6/1/2014 9:10:00 AMI love surf perch. But the only place I have caught them is off the jetty, and that means alot of hangups on the big rock. I wish I knew more about how to read the surf where the fish are most likely holding. I've been told you look for areas where there is flatter water inside the breakers, meaning that area is deeper. I don't know. We go to Ocean Shores at least a couple times a year. And I would much rather be fishing than following my wife around in the shops.

6/1/2014 11:57:00 AMI have a couple old posts from last year on WA lakes with some info if you want to check them. I haven't gone yet this year due to the trout bite being hot. I seem to catch more and bigger redtails during mid to late summer. Main thing really is hitting it on a day that has SMALL waves and very little wind. Big schools will come in closer than you think and I've caught them regardless of low/high tide. They are a great eating fish for the pan! BTW, if the water is brown and foamy due to offshore pollution, don't even try. Tight lines, fellas! I'm on it as soon as the conditions dictate...
