I'll be perch jerking from around 8am till maybe 11. Gonna hit an area
in South O-side, about 3 miles south of the pier. Just head south from the pier right along the coast, there's a park on the east sid eof the street, next to a lagoon. You can park there, and then just walk across the street to the beach. Perhaps I'll see you there. Anyone else?

Ed, thanks for the invite. Because of some prior obligations (as in chores) I won't be able to make it but I will be with ya in spirit! I will be looking forward to a post on how you did. Also, anxious to find out if there are any sand crabs to be found. Good Luck!

Well it wasn't too bad considering the wind and cold. 8 or so BP's, though the biggest was only like 7". Also had one short 'But, maybe 14". All but one BP were on various c-rigged 1" grubs, all motor oil variations. One BP on a sand crab, and missed tons of others. I guess after some 9 months of no bait fishing I'm a little out of touch. By the way, how does one hook a sand crab. I was using a #6 live bait hook, and basically getting 'em stuck however I could. Squirmy little bastards.

The good news is, both crabs and corbs are in. Many good sized, egging, crabs; but they are bunched up in real tight areas. Saw many corbs as the tide first pushed in. I didn't switch to crabs until the grub bite died off. Corbs were definitely eating the big crabs. I dug up three that were crushed, though had somehow escaped the corbs. The corbs got to a point were they were coming way up with the waves. Saw many drybacked, waiting till the last possible moment to head back out. It was quite a sight.
