From Surf to Stream: The Adventure Continues

At Red Sky Surf Hunters, we don’t stop where the waves end — we follow the flow inland.

Fishing isn’t just a hobby. It’s a calling — whether you’re chasing stripers in the surf or stalking trout in a mountain stream. Our adventures take us from crashing breakers to quiet creeks, from salt spray to pine-scented air. It’s all part of the same hunt… the same red sky.

With Cal Grizzlington leading the way, we’ve expanded our territory to include freshwater lakes, rivers, and backcountry ponds. Because no matter where the line drops — beach, bluff, or beaver dam — we’re still chasing the bite.

Welcome to Tide & Timber — where the surf meets the stream, and the adventure never stops.

🌄 From Breakers to Backwaters

Red Sky Surf Hunters: Freshwater Edition

When the tide rests, we follow the river.

At Red Sky Surf Hunters, fishing isn’t just a coastal pursuit — it’s a way of life. Whether we’re casting into the crashing Pacific surf or flipping soft plastics into a calm mountain lake, we chase the thrill, the bite, and the peace that only fishing can bring.

🐻 Cal Grizzlington doesn’t stop at the shoreline — he treks inland, rod in paw, seeking bass, trout, and adventure under the red skies of California’s wild rivers and lakes.
