    FYI about Catalina GTG

    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...

    Cabrillo Beach Pier-Mixed Catch of Fish

    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?

    Surf fishing rules...

    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'...

    What's the rationale

    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...

    Imperial Beach — I don't believe there has been any improvement...

    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...

    Capitola Bait shop might be demolished!!!

    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!

    Veteran's Memorial Pier March 5th

    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...

    S.F. Bay Crab Identification

    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...

    Capitola Bait shop might be demolished!!!

    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.

    Do fish eat birds?

    Of course you can't forget this...

    Seal Beach Pier - February 15th

    People ruin everything. Unfortunately it's not legal to toss them over the rail with your returned catches.

    What kind of angler are you?

    Zen adventurous consumptive... Can get very focused, almost meditative when fishing. Love the biology and characteristics of the different types of fish. Love the satisfaction of eating the freshest fish and knowing 100% where and how it was sourced. Great thread!

    He had a way with senoritas...

    Actually the money is negligible... It is helpful to accelerate the process but it's not really significant. The biggest issue is that the content generation and interactive online presence require a massive investment of time and energy on an ongoing and constant basis. Investing those two...
