We've been spending time at the shore chasing the perch bite. My daughters really took to it last year and we decided to hit hard this summer. Over the course of a dozen trips they've turned into shore fish assassins. Casting, catching, unhooking and releasing all on their own. Here's a few shots.

Nice job catching those perch. It looks like an overcast, yet fun day.
It brings back a lot of good memories for when I was younger surf fishing for perch and whatever else would bite that day.

We took a few hogs home at the beginning of the summer to eat, but perch give birth to live young and many had a few dozen baby fish inside when we filleted them. I even caught a few large females that spit out live fish as I was unhooking them. After the first few trips, it was all catch and release.

It's great to be able to get the family involved. What bait were you using? Normally this time of year is loaded with sand crabs...the soft shelled ones are especially good for corbina, that's if you can keep the perch off them.

Great job getting the kids out. They all love catching fish. You know you have done it right when they enjoy fishing when not catching.

Looks like a lot of fun. 
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

I love the way you are spending time with the girls. It looks like they are having a great time. The time spent with them will stay in your memory for ever. Keep it up.

Nice looking perch. I was also out on the same day but wasn't able to find the fish. I now know why....I wasn't fishing in your area. LOL. Congrats again on the awesome fish!

That's cool man. I took my son and his friend out last week just goofing around in El Segundo for an hour or so. We only caught one but it was huge on some mussel. I cooked it for dinner for my wife. She let me have a little bite- it was great, but I knew that already. My spot in El Segundo hasn't been so good lately- I need to head further north, I think.
