Well I recently moved in with my girlfriend who it just so happens lives half a block from the beach, and yesterday afternoon I hooked up with my first striped bass in the surf. Now growing up in San Francisco as a kid I worked on a party boat that would target stripers in the bay, and I got some big fish drifting under the golden gates south tower bouncing live anchovies of the bottom. But let me say that hooking up in the surf is a whole new addiction , and I really suggest that any of you out there , close enough to the coast , go get some waders and a 10 ft stick with a bucktail jig on the end and hit the surf.
The tug is the drug

Sounds fun. I’m looking for a girlfriend who “ just happens to have” a 19” Boston Whaler!😂

What party boat did you work on, fryguy69?
I grew up trolling for stripers along with drifting under the south tower. My pb went 27lbs. Those were the days.

Halibut love luckycraft lures surf and bay !
Just make sure you upgrade the hooks!!!
See the one that got straightened out in the bottom of the picture. New hooks are size 1 with one barb cut off (see https://www.fishingstage.com/t-61387-1.html for why) and no hook in the middle.
I also really like the sardine pattern Yo-Zuri Hydro LC (long cast). I can get it further out and they come with stout hooks.

I remember doing that at rockaway as well as Pacifica years ago. What a rush! Thanks for reminding me how much fun that is. After moving to Southern California, I miss the stripers!
