Went perch fishing at Rockaway beach today as striper action in the bay has started to slow down. Light fog, mid 50s air temp and medium/low swell - pretty good surf conditions.
There were lots of folks with kayaks dropping crab pots and cooking fresh caught dungies, which made for a festive atmosphere. I fished a standard 2” gulp camo on a Carolina rig and the perch were there! Unfortunately all walleyes, most about hand size... had bites on nearly every cast, quickly lost count on #s, and left them biting after a few hours of fun.
Going to try mussel rock for some redtails next weekend - did not keep any as I was looking for larger specimens!
