Hey Guys,

I live in Santa Clara and I'm a beginner.

I would like to fish some sea bass in sea water, could you please suggest me any good spot nearby?

 

Thanks,

Salvo

California doesn't really have Sea Bass...they have White Sea Bass which live in saltwater.  They will get the occasional catches out of Monterey area, but most of them are caught in Southern California.  They also have Striped Bass which you can get in California in saltwater.  Near to Santa Clara you can either fish the San Fran Bay or the ocean.  Close to Santa Clara, I know they fish for them off Foster City around Beach Park Blvd.  On the ocean side hit up PCH and basically any of the beaches along there.

 

For baits to use, I'd hit up a local tackle shop and ask them what works.  They can also point you to a better beach.
