Thank you very much for the kind words Quadfather! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
I have a 5 or 6 year old handy cam. Runs on the little tapes-- if it had that tape-like quality that's why.
I like to stay at the Alaskan, which is located on the edge of town. A really nice older couple with a cool dog owns it. I think it was $68 a night (before tax) last time. Two beds, good shower, and a kitchenette: two burners, mini-fridge, pots/pans, and silverware. Does the job for me! It's near the Red Apple Market, the only big store in town-- you can get all the ingredients for a nice dinner there. There's a lot of good little places to stay though. If it isn't a razor clam tide weekend and the salmon aren't in you can usually shop around for a good deal.
There are a lot of snags out there! The bottomfish like the structure though, so I like to fish in areas with a medium amount of snags, that I kind of know where they are (from losing a couple jigs). Come well stoked; you'll probably go through quite a few.
I'll do a surf perch one for sure!-- probably in the fall. I'm suprised there aren't more surf perch addicts like us; they sure are fun on the end of the line! (and later at the end of a fork!)
