>>886505California is pretty good but I'm biased because I haven't fished outside the state except a few times in Oregon.
>Shore fishing along the entire coast>Rockfish, lingcod, cabezon, a half dozen types of perch, striper, halibut, jacksmelt, corbina, bonito, mackerel. Different types of fish depending on how far north or south you are.>Several types of sharks and rays that put up a great fight.>There's also a lot of offshore fishing for tuna, deep sea species, salmon, yellowtail if you're into that.>Rivers from the Oregon border down to the Sacramento river system have chinook and steelhead runs.>Sierra Nevada mountains have rivers and lakes with brook, brown, rainbow, golden, and cutthroat trout.>tfw catching a limit of brookies out of a lake at 11000 feet and cooking them for breakfast.>Delta and reservoirs have a lot of big bass.It definitely has variety, I'd put it on the same level as Florida in terms of overall good fishing.
