I just booked a trip to long beach, ca for april 1-5 and im looking to get a new pb. Does anyone know any guides in the area or could someone possibly let my girlfriend and I come along. I can pay for gas etc. also, I will have a rental car so traveling will not be a problem.

Why long beach..? lol There aren't any really good lakes close by, unless you call a 1 1/2 hr drive close. Art Berry guides at Diamond Valley Lake, he's one the best at that lake.

In the opposite direction, there's Castaic lake, there's a few good guides that could put you on fish, on the big lake or the lagoon, just google Castaic lake, and the guides will be listed.

There are other lakes, but are further away, and or, not that great to fish at imho.

BTW, I use to live in Long Beach.. ;D

My gfs family lives in long beach. I don't mind driving up to 2 hours if I can fish from the back of someones boat. I don't have a lot of money for a guide so, I only wanna get one if its a last resort.

I see. Btw, if you want to fish Castaic, Rich Tauber is a good choice. His # is 818-439-1154

He also has a website  RichTauberFishing.com

i could tell you everything you need to know if you are looking to catch some saltwater fish in long beach i live here go saltwater fishing all the time and destroy bass,bonita ect... if you wanna know some spots for the ocean and what to use hit me up as of freshwater... i havent had too much luck in any lakes around here just a few bass here and there at regional lake in cerritos and at el dorado lake
