You might want to buy a pack or two of these. You just attach them directly to your leader butt. Then tie on a standard tappered leader or what ever you would usually do. This will help in two ways, 1) the added weight does help to buck the wind some, and 2) it is a sinking line so it helps drag you flies down to the bottom much faster as well.
AND 3) it saves you the additional cost of sinking line on a seperate spool for your reel.
Awesome that you caught some fish though. I have not fly fished for surf perch, but would fish for salmon from a skiff in AK, and that is where I was introduced to these sink tips.
