Just wondering if there's any surf fisherman here? I've surf fished my whole life basically. I mostly fish for speckled trout and flounder. I also enjoy freshwater fishing too.

I grew up on the Gulf coast in Florida k clearwater beach, tampa, tarpon springs area. I grew up in the water as a kid. Caught my own bait, then went fishing. Caught a shark head (cut off by a fisherman I suppose) near the power plant in tarpon springs, caught a sea gull that flower into my line as I casted it out. Caught tons of various fish in my lifetime. Now I live in Michigan with polluted fresh water. Needless to say, I haven't been near the water since I moved here 16 yrs ago.

Clearwater and Tarpon Springs are awesome

i used to go there every year to visit family, but sadly as they passed on we stopped going

First flounder my brother and i caught on sea wall of beach we just looked at each other with big eyes and like what the hell is this????
im sure some of the magic is gone now that we are grown but i would love to go back there to visit to see it again

i have always wanted to try Windsurfing but am most likely too old and heavy to even try it now

I have surf fished in Southern Cal. Oceanside and Carlsbad. Love Halibut or Flounder depending on the coast you are on. I like to fish the streams in California for trout i miss it.

The Magic never leaves That is what keeps us going. I have been half way around the world twice and i just start where i left off at.

I kill it in OC , So Cal.. Ghost Shrimp FTW.. most places never stock them.. so you have to pump your own and that in itself can at times be pretty fun.. honestly nothing compares when it comes to surf fishing out here.. ghosties are the shit
