That is the truth!. I've been back in CA for the past 5 years and I havent gone fishing once!. When I was in NC, I'd fish before work, during chow time, and after work. If the weather sucked, I was doing trips to each tackle store I could find up and down the coast looking for new gear.

Reason I didnt get fishing back here is because 1) I dont own a boat 2) I cant afford a boat 3) I dont know anyone that owns a boat 4) Charts are too expensive 5) Surf fishing in NC = 50lb Red Drum and 30 lb Striper ect. Surf fishing CA = 1/2 lb croaker?

I guess im just looking for something that is going to rip line off my spool.

Now that I bought the yak, I'll be more willing to make the drive to the beach and try for some threshers and Yellowtails.

The leos will rip your line off if you get em, down south the surf fishing is way better than up here in Ventura, but still a good deal for when i can't
get out on the yak
