Bill Varney is a fourth generation Californian who's passion for surf fishing helped him redefine the way we fish from the beach. His book, Surf Fishing, The Light-Line Revolution has change the way we look at surf fishing.

Fishing the Southern California beaches has always been a passion for me. Growing up in the South Bay (Los Angeles, CA) gave me a lot of chances to surf fish as a kid--but a lot has changed with fishing equipment and technique since then. In the past, we used much heavier equipment and tossed the bait as far from shore as possible. Today, we fish with ultra light gear and catch some of the largest surf fish just feet from the sand.This light-line technique combined with a variety of fresh, frozen and imitation baits is guaranteed to catch you fish!

Bill shares his wealth of knowledge with anglers on his Fish The Surf website where you can find information on baits, tackle, rigging, tides, fish reports, pictures, tips and much more. Take a moment to look at his informative website where this exciting new technique is sure to help you catch more fish and have more fun!
