Go fishing, start in the bay catch bass, perch, stuff like that and expand out into the ocean when you are ready and capable, and find out what you want to and what you like to fish for. It's gonna be a fun journey for you, lot of interesting charaters your going to meet along the way....

Great response Tony.
I've always considered YT, WSB, and Halibut as the SoCal Grand Slam.

Grand slam
A grand slam is usually 4 points/runs... so I'd say the ultimate "grand slam" for a day of fishing would be YT, WSB, Halibut and Thresher.
Rock slam? Reds, lings, goats and Boccaccio bay slam? spotties, sandies, calico and halibut. just my $.02 oh and a SD bay exotics you can chase, bonefish and tarpon. i've only heard of tarpon twice and seen one pic so good luck with that one.

Halibut, WSB, Huge Calico, YT.
I am 3 for 4 and the only one I have not landed yet is the easiest of all, a YT. |

WSB, YT, Halibut. In the same day, on the same outing. I know of only 1 confirmed guy to do it on a kayak.
The bass slam is a little more reachable. Calico, Sandy, Spotty, all in 1 day on the same outing. Bonus point if you do it all in the bay on plastics. For giggles, try the bait fish grand slam. Greenback, Spanish, Sardine, Smelt, Anchovy- all in one day, on the same outing. I've actually done that one |

Plenty of good answers here. It's satisfying to target and land a few or one fish. The WSB, YT, hali trifecta is the biggy in so cal I think. Some add thresher shark in the "cool fish" group. The 3 bass species is another good one. There's the south sd bay trash carteledge combo; sting ray, bat ray, butter fly ray, guitarfish, smooth hound, and leopard slam. Done that one, woop woop. Go for the croaker slam, WSB, corvin, spot fin, corbina, corvina, yellowfin, white, black, and queen fish.
Seriously tho, WSB aren't rare but they are hard to catch consistantly. The bonefish in south sd bay are worth pursueing. The sd bay short fin corvina can be a fun challenge and getting one to bite a top water elevates it. If they ever come back to so cal, catching bonito on ultralight or fly gear is a fun goal. Go for it. Mike |

thats because WSB aren't talked about and hardly posted by the guys who catch them. still waiting to see a 60+ make it to the boards that was caught this year.

Yellow tail is the easiest? I have been crushing the halibut, so maybe YTs aren't a daunting of a foe as I thought. I will be chasing them in the middle of this month. Probably around the 15th.
