I usually have nothing but tangles when I use more than one hook but braved three on three way swivels with two ozs of flattened bank sinkers on the end to try my hand at surf perch again. I did not get any pyramyd sinkers like I had planned so my rig was getting drug all over using flattened bank sinkers. Did catch one decent sized red tailed perch for three hours of fighting the surf.
I was using a 7’ Light Ugly Stik with 3 different colors of powerbait. The one the fish took was a nose hooked transparent light blue curlytail with silver fleck. I had tried dark coffee colored but never got a nibble.
I can see where people get knocked down and drown in the surf. Had a big surprise wave (saw it coming) that I was ready for but it continued up the bank and knocked over my ‘expanding’ cart with all my gear in it. Sand and salt water in everything!
Had fun!
