Fished Del Rey Beach in Oregon for surf perch. First time fishing in the surf for this species, based upon a lot of people telling me it was fun.

A nice day on the the beach, but a thoroughly sour experience for fishing. Two of us fished the incoming tide for 3 hours, and got one bite between us in that whole time. Used Berkeley Gulp sandworms, bloodworms, and shrimp bait. Used 2 ounces of weight in order to chuck it out there far enough to get into the dropoffs in the surf.

Not particularly pleased, and it is debatable whether I want to try surf fishing again.
