In responce to your query about any good surf fishing spots, I really like "flat rock" down by Deer Creek road. If you're coming southbound on PCH, you'll come to a turnout where you can park your wheels. There's usually a shrimp stand there, but the guy usually gets there midmorning.<BR>If he's there,he usually hooks you up with a handfull of crusties(if that's your preference) or you can bring your own stuff (bloodworms, clams, whatever..) I've also fished small grubs (motor oil,red or green w/ flackes)with some luck, but the bait gets them. Nice perch, croaker, and sharks.
