Got tired of not catchin steel so I went to the ocean.
Yep, we fish right off the sand. Del Ray, you can drive out on the beach, back up near the water, and fish! It never takes long to get a bite.
Caught another Perch today. Pictures coming!
I caught mine on a pink grub tail with a 1/4 oz head. I usually find rocks to fish near as I've never had luck of the sand. With a jig I just fish it like for bass. Also I use bait, sand shrimp, off the jetties and have good success. Just be prepared to lose gear. No need to buy an expensive rod fishtales, mine is a $20 special with cheapo rod from Ollie Damon's in portland. I clean the real good after use and keep lots of bearing grease on the metal parts. Its just a 7' rod, nothing great but I catch fish so I'm happy. The sea is hard on stuff so that's why i use a cheap setup.
