    Eating lizardfish —

    I went back and looked at my records and show good numbers of lizardfish in 1994, 1999, 2020 and 2023. I show BIG numbers in 2010, 2014, and 2015 with 2013 showing BIG BIG numbers all along the coast.

    Congratulations! What a great day you had on the corbina; never caught that many in a day myself. And, great to see you got the younger anglers out; I aways love that.

    Sometimes the piers can get crowded.

    Sometimes the piers can get crowded. Two pictures at the Santa Monica Pier and an old picture at the Pacifica Pier by friend and former Fish and Game Department member Paul Gregory.
