Oh and no ballyhoo? My mind was blown. Then I found out cast nets are illegal the hard way... That one still makes me laugh, you should of seen the game wardens reaction when I tossed right in front of him.
Anyways I do love it down here, and as I can see from all of your guys posts some killer fishing. I appreciate the help with the learning curve!

It really is a different game out here in socal. Ive spent time fishing in Florida, Wyoming, Georgia, and Texas. Mostly coastal but still saw the variances by region. I never understood why they love spinning reels so much on the east coast but to each their own. Yea the cast net thing doesn't sit well over here lol. But you can catch bait with sabiki rigs, or make a stop at a bait barge on your way out if you launch from the bay. Surface irons out here are different from the "spoons" that they have out there. The same action pretty much but different in design for good reason. A surface iron out here resembles the sardine and the spoon out there resembles the pilchards and other baitfish of that region.
Keep asking questions and spend time on the water out here. Feel free to pm me when you head out
