Believe me...Salt Creek is no secret spot. Lots of barnies out in the water...especially in summer...it can be a zoo! In summer, there are basically too many people to surffish unless you hit it at the right time (early AM or PM). And Pete, there are corbina up and down the beach when they are in (also at most "secret spots" in Laguna that I will not mention). Note ..I put "Salt Creek" on here because it is a popular well known beach. I fish near there, but NOT right at that beach...have to protect those "secret spots". I almost feel like I shouldn't post these reports anymore, but there are still very few surffisherman...I think it is too much effort for most people (especially from 909 area code--dont they all goto Huntington or Newport?) to pay to park, walk down the big hill lugging thier stuff to catch a few fish...unless you are local of course, and know where to park for free! Don't even get me started on those San Clemente "secret spots" which I know well! Surffishing is still not so popular, compared with some other types of fishing, because conditions have to be just right to do well (no surf,kelp, wind, etc.), but it is a blast when they are on!
