At 0545 am,  Saturday, July 11 our club surf fishout will be at Manresa Beach. This is a beach that can challenge you and pleasantly surprise you. Stripers catches are not unusual on this beach.

Sunrise is at about 6 am, so you should be there ready to fish by 15 minutes before that.

Around 8 – 8:30 am I will be back up in the parking lot and serving some hot snacks, quesadillas probably. No coffee though, so bring your own beverage if desired.

There is a minus 3.4’ tide at 3 am and high is 3.4 at 10 am, so we will be fishing an incoming tide. Some people believe that is the best type of tide, but I cannot verify it. Seems to me when the fish are hungry they bite.  Very little moon that night too, which should be good.

Newcomers to fly fishing the surf are welcome, but please go to our club website, drop down menu “KNOWLEDGE” and read the “Surf Fishing Info” section. And if you are really new to fly fishing and do not know how to cast, this is not the place to learn.

Any additional questions, call or email me at 831-274-4024 sambishop@totlcom.com. I will have a couple spare stripping baskets to loan and flies to give away.
