finally made it out! there was a break in the weather so I took advantage of it. the redtails were on the small side but it was great getting out. the bites were far in between and I only caught 8 - some redtails and some silver perch. I fished up to high tide around 1:30pm, at which time the bite were much closer together.

I'm heading out on march 19th, so if anyone wants to meet up in newport, shoot me a PM. (weather permitting, of course)

cheers.

PK.

 
Looks like fun.
I see you're using just a lead head jig with what looks like a Gulp Camo Sandworm.
I have always used a Carolina rig for surf perch. 1/2 or 3/4 Oz. sliders.
Not bad sized perch. Make some good fish tacos.
My recipe for unbreaded fish tacos;
Ingredients

Couple lbs fish fillets, your choice, cut into 1''x 3'' pieces.

2 doz corn tortillas

1 oz pack of Lowerys or other premixed Taco seasoning.

Couple Tbsp lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

Salt to taste

Combine Taco seasoning, salt, lemon juice and enough olive oil to make a thin paste,
Add fish fillets stirring to thoroughly coat the fish.
Can be cooked right away but seems better if allowed to marinate for a while.
Place in dry none stick skillet over medium heat leaving space between pieces, the olive oil in the marinade should provide enough oil for cooking.
Fish should be firm and slightly transparent when done.
You don't want to burn the lemon juice.
Remember it's better to under cook it than over cook.

Lightly brush remainder of oil over Tortillas and heat in dry skillet one or two at a time until they pop.

Garnish as you like.
Quartered limes to squeeze over tacos is a nice touch.
I suggest very thin shredded red cabbage and Pico de Gallo with a Baja style sauce.
Taco sauce of your choice is optional.

Quick Baja sauce

8oz. sour cream or nonfat yogurt, drained. Note that yogurt will make a thinner sauce than sour cream.
4 oz mayonnaise
1/2 oz Lowerys taco seasoning or other chili seasoning.
1/4 cup very finely chopped fresh cellentro.
Mix ingredients and let stand for at least 1/2 hour in fridge.
 
Are the silvers no good to eat?
 
Nice fish, weather looks great. It's hard to find a day with good weather at the coast, it's either rainy/windy/big waves.
 
nice P K!
 
Great job Sammy! I love how you take us along in those videos.
