Hey folks,

I'm based in the Bay Area, and just bought the Fisherman's Life 9' 4" travel rod (https://fishermanslife.net/collections/fishing-rods/products/94-no-excuses-surf-travel-rod-with-tube-medium-heavy-action-3-4oz-to-3oz).

I'm based out in the Bay Area primarily trying to surf fish Stripers, Halibut, and Perch off the beach. I'm new to fishing, do ya'll have any good recommendations for a reel setup?

Thanks!

  2. Im in the bay as well and trying to get into surf fishing. I work in sun Mateo and have been planning to start hitting half moon bay in the evenings. Hit me up
