Perch Report 3/2/14

It was gnarly.  wind, rain, giant waves, huge current.  But no weeds in the water and we each got one about like this:

Great report...
My Buddy Mitch said he ran into you guys and he said he only caught one too...I have been too sick but am going to go all day next friday and try and hit a few spots....would have loved to have been out there with you guys

Mitch said you caught a 3" perch 

thanks for the report

Man...I have to zoom in to see the fish    Thanks for the report and picture Bushy.

what beach did you try. looks nice out there!

I'm going to try north of SC. Maybe Wed.

Alien- We hit Moss for nada, though Mitch pulled one in down there.  then we went to Z beach.

BTW for the record, my perch was at least 1/3 again as big as Sansano's.  At least 6 inches!!  so I get the trophy for the day.

Frank Davenport Landing has worked for me for big striped perch (really big like 15-16 inches)  Off the north rocks hit the deep spots, I used whole GULP sand worms.  And, Beeeeee Carefullll   waves are still big!  Four Mile is also a good bet, off the beach or the rocks.  But double check it might be within the Natural Bridges SMR now, which prohibits fishing from the shore out to 200 yards.

Ooooh that cuts, Sailfish!

Bushy I'm impressed you guys were out there at all. And a fish in the hand is better than a handful o' nothing!

Thanks bushy,
I won't be able to explore anymore beaches before this weekend, "GAME DAY" ...so need all the intell I could get 

See you all this weekend

Alien I bet the beaches closer to Monterey will produce better....

See you all this weekend

Are we grouping it somewhere?

Pretty sure 4mile is a no-take, no-fish zone unless you are 200' out from the mean high tide line, or if you are on the other side of the main point. Part of the Nat bridges SMR as you said. Not that the state has ever posted any signage about that .

Shoot me a pm if u make it down to central coast Bushy we'll hook up

Try the fish alerts app on your phone. It's free. Shows restricted areas  and your current position.  I use it all the time while fishing,  just to make sure.
