Hello all, Xtranzman has sent me so many of your messages and pictures I had to join. I feel like I know alot of you already. I'm not in CA :( I'm in Texas and we don't get to do much fishing out here no creeks or even a lake you can see 4" down so I have to live through your great fishing in CA. I have gone to a couple of piers in Galveston with hubby and our kids and had a great time. Planning on going out again this summer. When we do I will let you know how it went. Until then good luck to all in those beautiful waters I miss so much!!!! :D
