#12851, "New to Area"

Just moved to Los Angeles from NC. Used to do alot of surf fishing at Cape Hatteras in the winter for big drums, strippers and blue fish. I have several large rods (12' and 14') also have a couple of nice Tica's in the 8' range. I need help in finding some local surf fishing spots. Also technique and type of fish to expect would be helpful. Tight Lines

People pretty much target a species and go for it. Pick it: Sharks and rays, Halibut, perch, corbina or bass. That is what you catch in the surf here. Once you have decided do a search for techniques
Are you after sport/exercise or food?
Most of the serious shore fishers will choose artificial baits. Some choices: swim baits, crank baits, flies, grubs, in some cases poppers.
If your just looking to wet a line........... Set up anywhere with your sand spike and put on some clam, squid or mussel and wait for something to start pulling.
OR>>>>Try one of the half day boats, there is some good action right now.

I like the sport of it more than anything, although a good halibut would be nice to put in the freezer. I have been spoiled fishing in NC. Each November, me and 6 of my buddies would take our Suburbans down to the outerbanks and fish for a week. It's nice when you can drive up and down the beach at low tide looking for troughs. I like fishing with artificals and cut bait. I would really like to meet some fellow surf fishermen. Where are some good spots that I can meet surf fishers? Oh, what is a corbina. I see that species posted alot out here. We have a cobia on the east coast. I guess its not the same fish. Tight Lines

Thanks for the info Wade. Where does everyone out here surf fish? In all the beaches I have been to out here, I have never seen one surf fisherman. I would enjoy hooking up with someone and going fishing. I can share some of the techniques we use out at Hatteras. I don't know if they would apply out here. I have seen some people posting shark fishing. I think some of my big rods may suit me well to that type of fishing. I also have some light tackle rods that I use when we fish for grey and speckled trout. We typically use a green or greenish style grub on a 1/4 oz. red head jig. From what I have read, it sounds like your swimbait tactics. Tight Lines

Sorry to hear about the size of the fish out hear but its better than not surf fishing at all. I hear you guys catch sizable sharks out hear from the surf from time to time. Sounds like fun. I have caught sharks from the point at Cape Hatteras and it does give a good fight but puts nothing in the cooler. We mostly catch and release except for what we want to eat that night back at camp. Usually, its hamburgers or steak, but occasionally we catch some red drum and have blackened red fish.
If you want to check out how we do it back on the Outer Banks of NC, check out this web site. www.reddrumtackle.com
This store is at Cape Hatteras and they always have the freshest baits.
