This week's California Surf Fishing Report and Forecast

Welcome to this week's Surf Fishing Report and Forecast for California, covering Wednesday 8th to Tuesday 14th May, with details on some red-hot halibut and striper fishing on the West Coast.

Don't forget to scroll down for a heads-up on the baits that are doing the business this week...

A solid schoolie and some hand-tied jigs that have been working around the Bay Area beaches in daytime

For the halibut this week, 3-5" live smelt were the ticket to a busy morning
