Welcome to Red Sky Surf Hunters

Where Land, Sea, and Soul Connect

At Red Sky Surf Hunters, we’re more than just anglers—we’re a community passionate about surf fishing, freshwater adventures, and the thrill of the chase. Whether we’re casting into the breakers or hiking to a hidden mountain stream, we live for the bite and the journey that comes with it.

From surf to stream, halibut to trout, perch to bass—if it swims in California waters, we’re after it. Whether you're targeting stripers along the coast or flipping jigs in a quiet lake, we’ve got the tools, tips, and tribe to help you land your next personal best.

From gear guides to fishing logs, creekside campouts to beach bonfires—this is your California fishing hub.
Let’s chase the tide, follow the flow, and outsmart the fish—one hook at a time.

Camp Under the Stars

But we don’t stop at the shoreline. For those who crave the full outdoor experience, we explore the best beachside and inland campgrounds where you can cast a line by day and sleep under the stars by night. Whether you’re camped beside the surf or tucked into a wooded lakeside site, the adventure is always on.

 

  • Coastal Campgrounds

    • Leo Carrillo State Park – Sandy beaches and offshore structures perfect for fishing and camping.

    • Carpinteria State Beach – A laid-back coastal gem offering both surf fishing and recreation.

    • Doran Regional Park – Sonoma Coast views with rich angling potential and beachside campsites.

     

  • Freshwater Favorites

    • Lake Camanche – A bass and trout hotspot with scenic shoreline camping and kayak access.

    • Pinecrest Lake – Family-friendly camping and calm-water trout fishing surrounded by forested peaks.

    • Collins Lake – Stocked with trophy fish and ideal for both tents and RVs, just a cast away from your campfire.

    So whether you're waking to the crash of waves or the stillness of a mountain lake, Red Sky Surf Hunters brings you the best of California’s wild waters and campsites.

 Grow It, Fish For It, Cook It,  

We’re also sowing something new—a garden lifestyle built for campers and surfcasters. From growing herbs for your campfire meals to setting up worm bins for your own bait, we believe self-reliance starts in the soil. Whether it’s tomatoes for foil-pack dinners, herbs to season grilled perch, or tips on portable gardens for RV campers, our gardening section brings the land and sea full circle.

 Meet Cal Grizzlington

The Surf Hunter. The Legend. The Bear Behind the Bite.

Born under a red sky and forged by the tides, Cal Grizzlington is more than a mascot — he’s the spirit of Red Sky Surf Hunters.

Part myth, part wilderness icon, Cal stalks the California coast with rod in paw, eyes locked on the next set. From the crashing surf of Half Moon Bay to the whispering streams of the Sierra foothills, he’s the original tide chaser, gear tester, and all-around fish-whisperer.

Whether he’s reeling in a striper at sunrise or flipping soft plastics in a mountain lake, Cal lives by one code:

“One hook. One tide. A lifetime of memories.”

Now, he's bringing that energy to every corner of Red Sky — from gear drops and fishing tips to your favorite campfire merch.
