SoCal Fish N Tips: Surf Fishing 101
http://socalfishintips.blogspot.com/2011/07/surf-fishing-tips-101.html
Thursday, July 14, 2011. The carolina rig is the most common surf fishing rig used on the West Coast and is highly recommended. This is the carolina rig in order from top to bottom: Egg sinker, bead, swivel, around two feet of fluorocarbon line and hook. It is a simple yet effective rig that will definitely work. I recommend using a 2500 size spinning reel for surf fishing. In my opinion, the 2500 size is a nice light sized reel that won't tire out your wrist very much. I almost always use 8 pound fluoro...

http://socalfishintips.blogspot.com/2011/01/fishing-rigs.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. 80% of the time I use the drop shot rig while fishing in the bays of San Diego.

Here is a picture of what the drop shot rig looks like. September 3, 2012 at 12:54 AM. What weights and hook sizes do you usually use for your drop shot and carolina rigs? Power of the Ghost Shrimp.

SoCal Fish N Tips: VMC Spinshot Drop Shot Hooks
http://socalfishintips.blogspot.com/2012/08/vmc-spinshot-drop-shot-hooks.html
Friday, August 24, 2012. VMC Spinshot Drop Shot Hooks. Pictured are sized 1 and 1/0. Size 1) Notice the integrated swivel that. Eighty percent of the time I fish the drop-shot rig. I can't count the number of times where I get snagged on some type of structure and my hook comes back upside down, or on its side. Even after catching a fish the same problem occurs. With the spinshot hook all those problems go away. Nose hooked on a Berkley Powerbait Twitchtail Minnow. February 11, 2013 at 4:32 AM.

http://socalfishintips.blogspot.com/2012/05/san-diego-bay-bonefish.html
Friday, May 18, 2012. San Diego Bay Bonefish. When I think of Bonefish I think of crystal clear, shallow water somewhere off the east coast.

Well I can tell you one thing, they ARE here and I hope they are here to stay for a very long time. Lastly, make sure you hang on tight! May 23, 2012 at 6:02 AM. Lucky Craft...

SoCal Fish N Tips: Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 110 - Metallic Sardine
http://socalfishintips.blogspot.com/2011/10/lucky-craft-flash-minnow-110-metallic.html
Thursday, October 6, 2011. Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 110 - Metallic Sardine. Length - 4.5 inches. Weight - 5/8 ounces. Depth - 1 to 2 feet. The only downside of this lure I have found is that it's a bit on the pricey side, and can be hard to find in tackle stores and on the internet. At the price of 19.99 per lure you don't want to see this lure go flying into the ocean on your first cast. July 28, 2012 at 11:09 PM. Hello Nate, Any update on the LC techniques and use?

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Has some good, to the point, information for a wide variety of species.
