This week's California Surf Fishing Report and Forecast (Weds July 10th)

Welcome to this week's Surf Fishing Report and Forecast for California, covering Wednesday July 10th to July 16th, asking the question: is there such a thing as too much bait? Also this week: Birthday surf shark slam and big corbina for our guided clients, plus tides to target for the week ahead.

Juan with a fine corbina caught in shallow water with light tackle on a guided session

Luke caught this cracking yellowfin croaker in the skinny surf on a soft shell sand crab hook bait during a guided session

Fish of the week - Preston's big birthday leopard shark, part of a surf shark slam including smoothhound, bat and butterfly rays
