OK, A word for your safety:

Along the northern coast they have what is called "SLEEPER WAVES" they are very large and come out of nowhere. I have heard reports of several people being wiped off the beach and never seen again. The "SLEEPERS" are just that and do not just appear or are related to big surf. So just keep and be aware.

I keep one eye on my line, and the other on the waves!

I have a very healthy respect for the power of the ocean.

Thanks for the heads up! Always a good idea to watch closely.

Well, this has been a very nice little thread. I am new to W Oregon but far from new to fishing. Maybe interested folks could meet up and fish a bit together. Any interest?

Went over, and found Sparrow park road yesterday. It's only about 20 minutes from Florence.

The beach access was flat, but soft sand. No problem in four wheel drive.

We got there too early, and the tide was out.

Did see one seal, and thought that was a good "sign"

Didn't get any bites, and tried several spots along the beach.

Will be going back closer to high tide to try again, later in the month.

Fun trip, and fun exploring.

We went yesterday and limited again,,Sparrow park... Got there 3 hours before high tide and fished through high until the bite died about a hour after high..

However.our usual spot was very slow and we traveled the beach until we found them,then it was good fishing..

Wished you had done better..

Looks like another fun, and successful trip!

We'll be going back over toward the end of the month, about the 28th.

Looks like a good tide and a big "dot" in the tide book.

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.

Humboldt county. Sand crab, costco peeled uncooked shrimp or horseneck clam pieces works the best for me.

Went surf fishing at Sparrow Park road yesterday morning.

We got there just before high tide and fished for about 2 hours.

Between the three of us we probably caught over 30 fish.

When the tide was about 1/2 way out, the bite died off.

We through back lots of fish, but filleted out some of the bigger ones.

I caught the first dubble of the day, and both buddies caught dubbles.

A fun time was had!

Looks like we will be going over about the middle of April.

We all had a ball! And all want to go again!.

Seemed like it was "fish on" every two minutes!

One buddy is still working and two of us are retired.

Gotta plan around the working guy's schedule.

Thanks again for sharing the information on this spot!

Well the Oregon weather is getting pretty nice! We were day tripping the coast this week, Newport to Cannon beach. Low tides and just a few surf anglers and clammers. Everyone we saw was leaving...a few had limited success. Any updates?
