I fished south of Crystal pier a couple hours Friday morning. I found good-sized sand crabs under the pier but there are plenty of beds along the beach as well.

1st morning at Crystal Pier… Every cast was a BSP… Except for a couple that I farmed and one cast that went unmolested…Ran out of SCs and was back at the room by 7:30 drinking coffee..Most were hand size, no dinks, except for a couple that were 12 to 14 inches… No corbs or croakers to be seen ...

I primarily used euro-style tight line nymphing with very specific tackle associated with that technique. For example, I have a 10ft , 3 weight echo shadow x rod that is very sensitive at the ...

I was wondering if I can jump on this bandwagon. I've been fishing for a while but havent really had the opportunity to meet people to go fishing with. My favorite place to fish has been the Kern River, but for a quick fix the piers have been my "go to"
I am able to help with any costs associated ...

You put a lot of trust in people you personally don’t know and assume they all have your best interest in mind. It’s pretty hilarious and sad at the same time. Hook, line and sinker…

Just got back from my annual kayak fly fishing trip to Estero Coyote. As usual it was an awesome trip, but this year was colder and a bit windier than past trips. The colder water changed the fishing a bit - we had fewer Corvina and Corbina and more halibut and bonefish - the same toad spotties ...
