No but the biggest one looked like a female
about to burst at the vent, when do they spawn?

Did any of the larger perch shoot out the fully developed
baby perch when you handled them? That used to a pretty cool thing to
see when I was a kid fishing down there on those beaches.

I just returned from a trip to Arch Cape on the Oregon Coast. Each
morning I got up at 5 ? 5:30 and hit the beach for surfperch for a few hours
and this year did very well. I fished Cannon
Beach the first day and got
two perch in the first 15-20 minutes from 5:45-6:00 and one was the biggest
surfperch I?d ever seen let alone caught, the thing had to be pushing 2.5 - 3
lbs. I hit the same water the next morning and got a few normal
sized perch. Along with perch ! I would foul hook about 2-3 Dungeness
Crabs each morning too, they don?t fight well and can be extremely tough to
release. I fished Arcadia Beach the
third morning and got skunked plus found the beach a bit more difficult due to
some nasty rips going on. This morning I fished only an hour back on Cannon Beach
and had a great morning, I landed 7-8 perch and many were very good sized
ones of 1.5 ? 2 lbs. and LDR?ed a few more. All fish came before 6:00
a.m. I guess the earlier the better since I got all my fish before 6:15
regardless of the actual tide level. All fish came on a Surfpercher Red
in either #2 or #4 with very big dumbbell eyes and a 300 grain head.
