Welcome to the stage wyld. I'm kind of a rookie myself. Been fishing for well over 60 years, but just started fishing the coast up here about 3 years ago. I get over there as often as I can, and now that I'm retired I plan on going even more often. Central coast of California is a big area. Can you narrow that down for us? Where you fishing out of? And where have you fished so far?

Spirit, hi there. New to fishing entirely! Only other experience has been guided or chartered. Few pretty great trips in recent years: salmon and halibut out of Sitka, AK and bonefish on fly in Belize. Few other smaller trips. But otherwise new to fishing my local spots by my own merit.

I live in San Luis Obispo County, north end. Fish the beaches and rocks from Pismo Beach through Cayucos depending on the swell.

Right now (as you probably know being a Californian), we’re getting hit hard with a NW arctic swell. So heading out (tomorrow morning hopefully) to south facing spots: Cayucos, Avila Beach.

mrs spirit and I are heading down your way next month. we'll be staying in grover beach. I've never been down there, so this is a first. Plan on going after some perch if the weather permits. Being as your "new" as you say, if you have any questions, let's have em. If I can't answer em there are folks on here who can.
