Ever tried Razor clam necks? I think they'd make the top three easy!!! I did alot of this kind of fishing when I was younger with my parents all up and down the coast and the clam necks always worked extremely well!

Sand worms, or piling worms work well, too. I've caught surf perch at Wash-a-way Beach near Tokeland, Westport's finger jetties, and off the beach in front of Grayland State Park. We used to fish the mid-June to mid-July period, alot.
