hey guys -- first real post here. im new to the SF bay, grew up fly fishing in wyoming, so i don't know diddly about fishing the surf, but i've been out every weekend and reading like a madman trying to pick up the basics (AND my girlfriend has somehow gotten the fishing bug after spending the first 24 years of her life without ever baiting a hook in santa monica)
anyway, i just have some basic q's i was hoping you gentlemen could help me out with: for something like shrimp, are you tossing them on a carolina rig an then just letting them rollin the surf? slow retrieve?
do any of you guys fish pileworms in the surf? again, how do you fish them?
i've read a bunch of pier fishing sites that say jigging around the pier piles is good -- what sort of rig would you guys recommend for that?
if the g/f lands a few surf perch i promise to post pics as a reward for the valuable info.
thanks fellas!
