When it comes to fishing spots, Google Earth is your best friend. You can fish anywhere you want unless there are No Fishing signs posted. In general, fish relate to […]
Lingcod is a member of the greenling family and isn’t the only species of fish on the West Coast to have blue-green meat.

Northern SoCal Going Off! It’s been a while since the LA and VC crew got a good shark streak going, but one guy who has been needing some confidence boosting surf sharks is VDisney. Well, the last two days, he’s been on them and pretty damn good with some close to 8 foot models! Congrats […]
