The San Francisco Bay area of the Central Coast is an incredible place to live. Within one day, someone can snowboard Tahoe, surf the Pacific, go to a winery in Napa, and have dinner in San Francisco.

For me, there is no better way to fill a weekend than both fly fishing and surfing the coast. Unbelievable scenery, potential for big saltwater fish, and incredible surfing.

On Saturday evening, I hit high tide at Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz for a surf session then fly fished a secret spot Sunday morning at low tide with the hope of getting into a rare but present massive striper. That’s a good weekend.
