Glad I don't live in South Africa... Lets make sure it never gets that bad here...

Given that the article was posted on May 3, I think it meant Friday May 10th... I think opening it on May 3 would have indicated a superhuman level of effort on the repairs...

Want to go on vacation now instead of waiting... :P

I'll be staying at a time share up in Point Area for that week. I've never fished the area but was intending to visit the pier. Anyone up there with direct tips and advice? Looking for shore access too, but it looks like it's mainly cliff fishing. Is there much beach access in the area?

Not unless it has an open bar...

I agree with The Happy Wanderer. I'll call cal tip or something but I am definitely not going to interact with a completely unknown person if they are doing something sketchy. Last thing I want is someone's bait-knife in my gut. If they look friendly and seem to be doing something out of...

I stopped hitting CGP nearly as frequently once they put in the little wall. You are right about it making things a lot more difficult.

Cost is generally a reflection of the local conditions. Higher expenses, fewer customers leads to a higher break-even point cost per customer. I don't miss the upward spiraling cost of, well, everything from living up there.

I always liked the coast guard pier... Except for when it was swarming with sea lions.

Considering that east of the harbor is a mini-SMCA and that the only way to fish this area is from the mole... "Lover's Cove SMCA It is unlawful to injure, damage, take, or possess any living, geological, or cultural marine resource, EXCEPT: Recreational take by hook-and-line from Cabrillo Mole...

Just fyi... you may want to enable HTTPS on kenjonesfishing.com... Can get free certs with letsencrypt or other services

I think those are just unfortunately colored umbrellas/sunshades

I just noticed the wording on this... Are cast-nets specifically banned south of Point Conception, or are they specifically allowed north of Point Conception as an exception?

It looks like fair advice, but I'd change most places where the author uses "yards" to "feet". Saying that the minimum distance for enough space between fishers should be half of a football field is a bit much under most circumstances on most beaches... And if someone has 4 poles set up 100'...

I think it's because the majority of humans are social primates while a few of us are rather misanthropic by nature. Since the majority crave being crammed next to each other like sardines in a can they can't comprehend the desire to be alone so they mistake intruding on ones solitude as a...

If septic is installed correctly it's basically like composting via the leech field... Just don't overflow your septic with too much water. Look for some colorful and horrible red-tides in San Diego this summer with all the nutrients in the water now... Be sure to wear a breathing filter to...

Lets just hope that a new building will be built. After seeing the videos of the beating the pier took during the storms I'm amazed it is still standing at all!

Do you mean someone on the spectrum or is this a euphemism for d-bags? I ask because one case is out of wishing to not do harm and the other case is from a wish to not be harmed...

So green crab based on the number of spines to the side of the eye stalks. As a total tangent, kelp crabs freak me out because in my mind they look like enormous blood sucking ticks...

Hopefully the Capitola residents will push for the boat rentals and bait shop to be rebuilt even if it's not possible to repair the existing structures. I agree with the quote in the article that says turning it into another fishermans wharf with lots of little shops would be pretty bad.
