Surf fished with a few friends at Henry's beach in Santa Barbara on Saturday morning. We caught lots of perch with many in the 1 to 2 pound range and a few that might have pushed 2.5 lbs. The larger fish seemed to be close to structure which meant if you weren't getting snagged every now and then you wouldn't get the bigger ones. Letting the line out slack and shaking the rod would usually get the snags undone - and would sometimes lead to a strike. A straight in grind retrieve was working best for me. Most fish were caught on Motor Oil (Red) and Motor Oil (Green) 1 3/4" Big Hammer Perch Grubs and a few of the larger fish were caught on trap rigged 3" Big Hammer swimbaits - colors: Pacific 'Chovy and Sea Wolf.
