The event is one of two "Free Fishing Days" sponsored by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. "Surf fishing is one of the many exciting recreational opportunities in Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area," said National Park Service ranger Ryan Stead. "This is a chance to learn from a few park rangers who enjoy the challenge of the sport." The rangers will provide free training and limited bait, with the added bonus of not needing a sport fishing license. All you need is a rod and reel and $12 for Leo Carrillo State Park's parking lot. Meet at the north beach of the park. For more information, contact Ryan Stead at 805-370-3176. DIRECTIONS: Leo Carrillo State Park is located at 35000 West Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

A unit of the National Park System, it comprises a seamless network of local, state, and federal parks interwoven with private lands and communities.
