Surf fishing in Southern California for many anglers down here usually involve small bass rods and light line. There are a few who target something a little bigger and badder that swim our surf and can test your tackle as well as your back. For years my friend Don up in LA would try to […]

Well, the grunion run is about to begin and that means the coast is about to get inundated with a lot of bait and the game fish that follow them. This ranges from sharks and rays to bass and butts. One of the most sought after game during this time is the Shortfin Corvina (Cynoscion […]
It never fails that if you get out fishing long enough, you’ll undoubtedly run across something you’ve never seen before… at least in maybe real life.

Well, there has been a few missed opportunities in this 2017 shark season already, but finally someone got one on the sand to start the 2017 shark list.

The Grinner Gathering ended up living up to it’s name after most had packed it in. It was a really fun time getting to meet and fish with all the familiar names on the website from over the years. Many of us met up at the Tidewater Tavern prior to the event to get […]
