California Trip Suggestions

[black_crappie]

Made a fishing travel tube?
PVC long/wide enough for poles, 2 end caps, one super glued and one screwed on/tape.
Check airlines, they may let it on as either special or checked luggage

California has a preference to saltwater, but there are many places in Norcal to hook bass and such.
The ocean fish are much more agressive, use an ultralight setup if you like a fight!
Bait-holder hook, with squid or shrimp is always productive.
If you're going for big fish, ugly stik tiger rod, and a reel by penn maybe.
Braid with a flurocarbon leader, they don't even see it coming!

If you have time to stop in San Francisco, there is a municipal fishing pier.
Free admission, possibly no license (don't quote me on that!)
Kind of pretty, fishing with the Golden Gate bridge in the background.

FISH SALTWATER > RINSE REEL AND SPOOL
or you're gonna have a bad time. Rust Rust Rust!

Good luck!
