    Sabikis ...

    Aren't wine corks kind of tiny? Seems like you'd get a lot of coil in the line from such tight spirals...

    Poor guy...

    Check out some of the things AI can do... Instead of thinking it can make words like yours obsolete consider that it may in fact allow your words to expand into areas and realms undreamed of. Here is another video, this one from ChatGPT which lets you make more (maybe because it doesn't seem...

    Poor guy...

    For anyone who cares or is interested you can use your $19.99 Google AI (gemini) account to create videos that are 8 seconds long. The above video looks like it was made using this. Monthly fee btw. I got an account (chat GPT too which has a similar feature but seems lower quality and more...

    Cabezon article...

    I've never heard one croaking... Unless they only do that while underwater?

    Came across this in my YouTube feed

    Two things I took away from this: First, the fish he's using as bait are the size of the fish I usually target to catch! Second, Holy crap! What a way to get your heart pounding.

    Sardines — Poisonous domoic acid alert

    So just out of curiosity, will they release an update saying it's okay to eat Sardines again or do we just have to guess whether or not we may be poisoned?

    Central Coast Fish

    So I didn't fish as much as I planned, didn't get any bites when I was fishing. Port San Luis Pier didn't see much action from the pier at all. Saw one good sized jacksmelt caught (it was a real chunky jacksmelt). Boaters and kayakers brought in mix of rockfish. Walking along the rockwall and...

    Lompoc over Memorial Day

    I wish I had a job that afforded more vacation time or was closer to the sea. Freshwater doesn't scratch the itch.

    Lompoc over Memorial Day

    Yeah but the beach is open. :) Generally, unless I'm using a sabiki, I spend more time going up and down the shore than on a pier. I may visit Pismo or Avila. Maybe Port San Luis pier? I only recently realized that one is there. Driving up Friday after work so will have most of the day Sat...

    Lompoc over Memorial Day

    I'm staying in Lompoc over Memorial Day to hopefully hit up Gaviota and pretty much anywhere else within driving distance. Maybe make the drive up to Pismo. Anyone in/from the area interested in wetting a line or offering some local advice? Thanks! Scott

    So wrong

    Was this the one in Catalina where they were catching and eating the fish they caught camping in two harbors?

    Sardines — Poisonous domoic acid alert

    Nah. Lithium in the ocean wont poison any fish at that dilution rate. Maybe make them a little less depressed once it binds with freefloating chlorates or nitrates though. At least the lithium that made it to the ocean in runoff and didn't just become atmospheric pollutants. Lets see if the...

    What are the best books you ever read in regard to fishing?

    Wow. So was thinking about whether to edit the above but Chat GPT gave me an even better (looks so at least) more relevant list specifically about shore, surf, and pier fishing featured books and stories. Pasting it below. --- Begin Quoted Material --- 🎣 Top Picks: Saltwater Coastal Fishing...

    What are the best books you ever read in regard to fishing?

    Heretical Fishing - Haylock Jobson Actually I'm just joking about that one. It's actually kind of a weird sci-fi kung-fu fantasy wuxia type story set in what seems to be a videogame world where fishing and seafood is looked upon as heretical for reasons that don't really make much sense. I just...
