Welcome to Golden State Fishing (GSF) my name is Paul,"PJ" for short. I created this Forum out of a need for, as a California Fisherman, a free and reliable source of fishing reports in the Golden State of California. Outside of a few outdoor columns in local newspaper's, Accurate, up to date, and reliable fishing reports are hard to find. However, I have found, in years of outdoor and fishing adventures, some of the best reports (where to fish, when to be there, what to use) came from fellow fishermen and fisherwomen. I searched and searched for a resource that was available to California sportsman at no cost. It was after my searching, hi and low, that I realized that when you want to do something right "Just step in and do it yourself". As the movie "field of dreams" stated, "Build it and they shall come." My hope and prayers are that my fellow Californian Fisherpersons will seek and find GSF to be their premier go to free forum board for all kinds of fishing, tackle, and fishery news. We can build a community here that offers the beginner's and the pro's alike the opportunity to be a part of something great. Golden State Fishing forum can be that place where a sense of community can be commonplace. It can be that place where, just before shutting the eyelids each night, you can find the reports, tips, tackle reviews, guides, tales, videos, and pictures that will give you sweet dreams of future adventures to be had. It can be the community that you look forward to posting pictures, videos, and writing your on fish tales about the big one that didn't get away, but rather made the weekly "PigPen" where GSF highlights the community catches that catch everyone's eyes.

I sincerely hope GSF creates a desire to be a part of a community of anglers whos goals are to provide these same great memories we share now to our future grandchildren and sparks a passion in your heart to protect and preserve your California  fisheries. 

I am just one man, that was given my passion for fishing and outdoors from my father, but I know we as a community can make California Fisheries great again! It all starts here with a forum for fisherpeople with a passion for free fishing advice, reports, stories, and more!

Welcome to Golden State Fishing!

Enjoy tightlines and safe sustainable  practices.
