Surf perch fishing is allowed year round at all beaches except area 12 (Hood Canal). Get out your Washington sport fishing rules book because there are a lot of special notes for each marine area. I love to fish for them. sometimes I catch a limit and sometimes I get skunked. I have my best results where there is a small depression in the beach as the tide is coming in. Be careful though. These ares of small depression are where the under tow can be most dangerous. I have a 15' whoopin' stick from Cabellas and have tossed 4 OZ of lead 180 yards to the bottom of my spool with it. You have to put tape on your finger or you will hurt your self and The best techniques are shown on the beach fishing for Stripe rs web sites. Oh and trying to catch surf perch with 4oz of lead at over a hundred yards just doesnt work. They have a gentle bite and I cant feel a thing with that much mono out there. I only get that kind of performance about 1 cast in ten. Ive wondered if I might hook a salmon if I cast a Buzz bomb around that far on a steep beach..Surf perch taste very good to me. Sometimes I pickle them. Worth the effort. Where is Roosevelt Beach?,,,,,Dan out
