Bill, incredible Corbina! I surf-fish consistently at Salt Creek and last summer I only caught 2 Corbina (terrible!). However, this summer so far I have caught 23! The reason is I read your "California Corbina 101" article! The major mistake I made last year was I would stand in knee deep water and always spook them. Now I stand on dry sand and have caught many! My largest is a 21 inch, 3.5 pounder. Hopefully I will get one like yours someday! Thanks again for the article, it really helped! TBrumfield
