Had a chance to go hit the sand tonight. Waves were huge! Decided to fish off the pier instead. Started at the end of Ruby's to try and load up on some mac for catfish bait since I was there. Caught only one. One guy on the other hand was hauling them in on the left corner on sabikis. Everyone just watched him pulling them in left and right. I gave up and went to find some perch close to the surf line. Tried perch crack for the first time tonight. Boy was it good... Probably caught close to 30 in a short time. Most were small but some big mammas were on the chew as well. Had a couple start to give birth and got them back into the water as quickly as i could. The perch were easy to find. Just waited for the rolls to come in, cast behind the wave, and they were more than willing to hit on every cast. Saw two nice beans caught on mussels by another angler. Fun cheap thrill to make my night. Gave my crack to some anglers who weren't doing so well and gave them a quick lesson on how to rig up. I wished them well, and i was on my way home. No grunions running when I left at midnight. Lots of folks out tonight waiting with flashlights and buckets on the sand.
Good time right now to go out and hammer the perch fellas. Tight lines!
