The Carolina-rigged GULP sandworm is an awesome set-up for light tackle surf perch fishing on the beaches from Baja to BC!
Fish it on light gear and slowly retrieve the rig along the bottom on steeply sloped sandy beaches for some serious fun.
Surf perch attack quickly and the typical bite is a rapid-fire shot of sharp taps. Think or hesitate before you set the book and it will be too late.
To learn all about how to identify the choice spots for perch fishing, along with other rigs and tips, check out my eBook: Light Tackle Surf Perch It is routinely in Amazon best seller’s list and reviewers have given it 4.5 out of 5 stars!
It’s available for Kindle at Amazon or, for mac users, Apple iBooks You can also get it on a PDF download version.

What size line do you use? 10-12 lbs.? Do you fish at high tide? Thanks for sharing this information. Nice to have something extra to do at the beach.

JD. Thanks for all of the great advice. Wondering if the Carolina rigor is intended to have the hook through the worm or if it’s as pictured and just through the head of the worm and the hook totally exposed?thanks for your time

Eli you can go either way. I bury it if there’s a bunch of kelp or weeds around. If the bottom is clean, I run it exposed.
