I have seen chartreuse clouser as well as some GS pattern (basically clouser type with orange and tan). White and smelt pattern (silver/blue/white) would probably do well too. Bring a spinning outfit with some GS and fish close the the bridge. Lots of good hits from croakers. You can also try drop shotting plastics as the bass/halibuts really do hit hard sometimes.

You also should try the SA river mouth if you can. It is a great place to flyfish in the morning and you can usually make all kinds of baits (GS, smelts, even sand worms) if you know where to look.

No problem Mike. Also my name is Mike too. I just like using the handle maxpowers because I am a huge simpsons fan. I am just starting to get into surf fly fishing (actually just fly fishing in general). Do you tie your own flies? If so maybe you can show me some basic techniques and material to start tying my own flies. I am currently buying flies at about $3~5/fly.
