Been getting lots of good tips here lately and I appreciate them all. I am going to work in San Jose in a week and would like to know where to try surf or pier fishing in the Santa Cruz area. I will be staying with my brother wo also loves to fish. We do alot of bass fishing at Uvas resevior from a canoe, but we don't have the b@@@s to take it in the ocean. Santa Cruz is fairly close and any and all tips as to where to go and what to use this time of year will be appreciated.
