Hey! I made an account a while ago and now want to get more involved here. I moved to Santa Cruz last fall for school, and I have done some shore fishing here with limited success. My dream is to someday get a Hobie pro angler, but for now I am stuck fishing the beaches and the rocks. If anyone has any advice for fishing the Santa Cruz area I would love to hear it!

Thanks!

Nico

Thanks eveyone! I might see if I can find a good deal on a kayak on craigslist this summer. Since I am living on campus storing it would be an issue, but ill see what I can do.

If you get 10 posts I think it is you gain access to the for sale thread on this site. It's better than Craigslist. It pays to be active on here and the community is fucking awesome. I have been blessed and helped so much in my short time here.

Welcome to the madness, Nico/prokhk.

Once school is out, I'll be fishing Santa Cruz often---hope to see you out there.
Are you pondering what I’m pondering?
