Since you seem persistant on the bump thing I'll respond even though this IS the REPORTS section :ROFL:
Carp is good for perch all year long but the spawn and birthing is primarily over now since temps have came up so the size of the perch will decline more or less. Between the El Nino' conditions,the crazy storms/swells and a recent red tide....Lets just say the surf hasn't stabilized yet. Corbina are a pretty good bet if you have the patience to stalk them and perch are a decent backup to prevent the skunk. That being said.....I would focus on the estuary inlet just north of the beach for leos and other bait eaters like SNGF if you are looking for a possible drag burner. Definately focus on that kelp area as long as it's attached to some structure like boilers. Any bait in the area is usually hugging structure and so are the bigger fish. Look for birds,bait and seals to clue you in on the eco system and you might be rewarded. Don't forget to fish the trenches with either hardbaits or dropshotting for the flatties. There is a fishy area just south of the campgrounds as well.
No need to HATE the beach this time of year dude......It's alot cooler than the desert...LOL

PROTIP: Cast into the water until you catch a fish.

Now that's funny..
Drop shot with a white colored Gulp Zoom Fluke for the bigger fish. Also Gulp Sand Crab Fleas and the best yet Gulp Camo worm. They catch everything. Good luck

Surf Fishing = Action
Lake Fishing/Duct = Boring
Yah, Like Mike said. This could be you walking in your Speedos :ROFL:
Um. ' Excuse me ladies but you are Hogging the Beach, would you mind spreading out '
