Whats going on guys names hunter. I just recently made the big move from Texas to here in Sonoma, Ca. I have fished the Gulf Coast all my life. I dont have a yak, but was more or less looking for some guys to give me a little bit of a jump start on surf fishing for stripers and some halibut. i have given it a couple go's but nothing yet. Is this time of the year not good because of all the grass or is the grass a year around thing?

Welcome.  Usually folks go from California to Texas but I see no reason it can't work the other way around.  Hope you get some fish out here soon.

Howdy. Whereabouts in TX are you coming from? I lived in West Texas for several years...
Are you pondering what I’m pondering?

Thanks for the input Crash. Bigmarb1, I have fished out at Dillon and Doran Beaches but the grass is pretty ridiculous.

Weird. I never hear that term here. Ever. It's like "Frisco". I only ever hear it when I'm not here.

Googling "don't call it Cali" seems to support my experience. I wonder if it's a generational thing. Or if you grew up on L.L. Cool J.
