Trout. Clam gun?? What is that?
I dug on that beach years ago and brought home 180 razor clams. (three limits)I clams. Those look big and tasty.
One cheeseburger, with lettuce.
Trout you say? How much is a non-resident fishing license?
My favorite bait is sand fleas. One "secret" is to catch a bunch of sand fleas (the limit is 50/day in CA) and take them home and dip them in boiling water for about 10 seconds and they will turn orangish. Then freeze them for the next fishing trip. They work very well. Raw unshelled shrimp works too. Use enough weight to keep your bait from moving too much. Sometimes up to 4-5 ounces if the ocean is rough. If there is a best time, I would say around low tide and incoming but sometimes the tide doesn't matter, you'll still catch fish. If we don't get hit within a half hour we will move. We try to read the surf to see where to start. You want to fish the deeper water where there is a trough or a hole. It's hard to explain so maybe this video will help. Once to see it you'll know from then on. Then some days you can't buy a fish no matter what you do. I hope this helps.Eel,
Despite growing up a 3 wood from the ocean, I am not much of an angler.
I took my boys out a couple of times last year with our surf rods, crab snares and some rigging to fish for perch with sand fleas. Did pretty well snaring, I think we got 4 keeper dungees and a half dozen rock crab in a few hours of casting. But the perch were another story. Two trips, and we can't seem to get the skunk off.
Any advice for a rookie on catching surf perch?
I forgot to add....another "secret" bait that works well is Berkley Gulp sandworms. Get the 2" in Camo color. They stay on the hook well. Sometimes they out fish the sand crabs.My favorite bait is sand fleas.

Go clamming at 10pm and get a limit before midnight. Then keep digging for the next day's limit. Get two limits in about 4 hours.In One Day?
Another one to try. Thanks.
Depends on how close the fish cops get. Private property, so hardly anyone shows up.
