Good videos Santiam, thanks.
We just got back from fishing for surf perch at Cayucos on the central Ca. coast. Pretty windy with some rain, hard to get out as far as you were with the light gear and Carolina rigs we were using but we caught some fish. Not as many as in your videos but a couple that were the biggest I've ever caught. One estimated at two pounds and another at three. The older I get the more I like surf perch fishing. Very basic without a lot of high tech stuff. If you're using those Gulp camo sandworms and keep moving you'll usually get some fish.
