That is pretty awesome. I once caught coho in the surf at a place called Volcano Bay in the Aleutians. One day when the sun was behind the waves you could see then in the curl. It was really cool but they did not bite well. As I recall we caught a few in the surf, but once they came in the creek it was lights out.

I grew up in Monterey and currently live here still. I have not only seen it,but Ive done it. My first steelhead I ever caught was off the beach on a green half ounce krocodile spoon. The fish above was taken in the surf south of Carmel

With the drought type conditions we are having here in central california what happens is these fish get really antsy and start cruising looking for water. My buddy got one off the wharf on a blue fox when we were like 15 years old. I have seen many fish landed off that pier. As for the surf the mouths of the various little streams are where to go. Its a long shot but once in a while the conditions are right and you can get into a fish or 2. That day I got 2 i hooked 6 and it was just one of those days,those fish were actually staging in the surf to enter the lagoon of the river.

Very nice Avid! Ever get any stripers down there while doing that? You bet we do but it is usually later in the year. Having a big striper smash your pencil popper at 5:30 in the morning in the surf as the sun is just coming up is something every fisherman should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Avid, That would be a blast. Post some surf striper pics as well if you have some.
