Took my in-law to Westport near the jetty on Friday afternoon for surf perch. I caught 3 good size red tail perch in the first hour with a strip of squid. One fish was washed away by the waves and only have two to show. Typical bottom rig with 2-4 ounces of flat weight and two size 4 circular hooks. The squid was really hanged on tight to the hooks and I only changed the bait twice. A local guy suggested to use clam meat and mentioned there are more fish in Ocean Shores area than Westport.
It seems that was a good surfing day than fishing. A few brave surfers went at the tall waves at distance. It was a blessing to have the whole beach to ourselves.
