Tyson,

Welcome to SoCal. I was raised in Virginia and use to fish the Outer Banks quite a few times a year. My folks use to own a piece of property about a 1/2 mile from Red Drum Tackle Shop. I've had some epic trips pulling in big Blues, Red Drum and Stripers up and down that coast from the surf. Tons of fun. I used to have a 4X4 and would love driving down the beaches looking for cuts and breaking birds and fish.

I miss the surf fishing back there in MD, VA & NC but I really enjoy the fact that I can almost fish every weekend of the year out here in SoCal. I love surf fishing for Barred Surf Perch and Corbina in SoCal, but to really get into the comparable big fish catches the you can experience from the surf in NC, you need get off the beach and into a boat out here in SoCal.

You can tell I'm an East Coaster by the name of my moniker and my 15ft skiff.
