I used a kitty litter scooper (bright idea, no it wasnt used) and it worked just fine. Didnt take long to get 15 of em.
I didnt move much from this area and managed 5 around this size

This guy was the biggest though.

Ran out of crabs so i dug up some more, which produced another 5 perch. They got smaller as time went on.
Called it a day about 2 and went home.
Fun times in the surf. One day i will whip some Halibut a...
