    Sardines — Poisonous domoic acid alert

    So probably not a good idea to eat anything that eats them also. Just about all the fish are sick and poisoned for sure. It’s all the poisons and pollution from the land flowing into the ocean, not just the demoic acid. I wonder how many EVs in the Palisades burned up toxic lithium right down...

    Part of the Santa Cruz Wharf collapses...and floats out to sea.

    Glad nothing terrible happened to the workers and they stayed mostly dry! Great job by the rescue teams also. This could have been a disaster if it was full of people

    Anybody fishing

    I stopped by Balboa for a couple hours from about 7:30am-10am. Nothing for me or anyone else in sight, about a dozen or do scattered people/groups fishing. I caught a few smelt in the surf to use as bait, could not find any kind of fin bait anywhere else on the pier. Not even a nibble. A group...

    Last Pier Standing...

    Sad. With fishing and tourism so big in San Diego, you would think they get their butts moving and start fixing things. I was hoping to take a trip down to SD this year before the summer temps are gone and visit each pier…prob not gonna happen this year

    09-07-24 Balboa Pier - tough Bonito

    Got out to the pier much later than i was hoping, some time around 8:30. The place was packed already with beachgoers! 90 degree temperature felt relieving compared to the 112 degrees away from the ocean. short story: The Bonito were around, but certainly not wide open. Mostly small groups of...

    Balboa pier recon mission July 6 2024

    I stopped by for a short recon session, wanted to see what has been going on since the brown red tide washed away. I was there from about 730am - 10am, sorry no pics, i always forget 😩 The wind was pretty relentless, currents were very strong and a lot of wave action, lots of chop on the...
