One of our first stops whenever we head over to the Northern California coast is Doran Regional Park. The Big Guy has been using this small corner of Bodega Bay to retrieve ghost shrimp (used as bait) for something like 30 years now.

Even if we somehow forget to check the tide tables or even the local weather, stopping to get those ghost shrimp is never up for debate!
