Home Forums Fishing Saltwater surf fishing the Oregon coast ?

Surf perch fishing can be lots of fun when you find the fish. I'm still a rookie at it but from what I've learned is to hit the beach during low tide to see what is out there. You want to find some areas that have small holes or troughs that the fish will be in and then fish the incoming for best results. Also, better if the surf isn't too big. Sounds like you already have the rod and reel for it, gulp sand worms seem to be popular and I use razor clam necks which also work great. Up here on the north coast I usually try to do the razor clamming on the low/minus tide then when the tide turns I switch to surf perch, makes for a fun day on the beach!!
