Thank you ALL for the helpful comments. I got Ken Jones’s and Bill Barney’s books and am acquiring some relevant tackle. I’ll be reading and hopefully out there soon!
Tight Lines!

Fisher Jeff, thank you. Feel free to recommend any links you’ve found helpful.

Hello everyone!!!
Have mostly fished rivers for Salmon/Steelhead. Now residing in Southern California. Looking to learn about accessibility to coastal fishing and how to’s. Have COPD so long journeys across sand aren’t practical. Locations for Pier Fishing and short distances on sand to surf fishing are currently what I’m most interested in learning about. As well as area specific baits, equipment and techniques. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration regarding my concerns.

TIGHT LINES FOR EVERYONE!
