It should be kid friendly for the sake of the future of the hobby. I remember when I was a kid, the old Redondo short pier had a tackle store with a bait window. You'd drop a ticket on the counter and scoop up an anchovy. During the bonito runs it was more fun than Disneyland. If that kind of...

Adequate seating along with what's been already mentioned. I must be getting older, I like a bench with a backrest. And those plastic coated wire mesh ones are probably good for cleaning, but not so comfortable for me. Maybe a "No Drones" sign 😆

This is a great post. It's the thing I remember as a kid fishing off the Redondo short pier. Those live bait tickets and all the crazy action while I fished and my folks went off to buy crabs and whatever from George Fukumoto. What memories. I remember a story about a kid falling out of the...

When you have to sling it over your shoulder it's pretty impressive.

Even in the posts I find interesting I may post once but come back several times to see the activity but I might not post again.

Great report, loved fishing that area, brings back many fond memories. I spent a lot of time fishing swimbaits attached to jigheads and caught plenty of legal halibut that way. But i found that fishing them without a jighead on a dropshot rig worked the best. Gamakatsu makes some pre-tied...

"We were unable to shoot it again, because of backdrop issues,” Archer said. “We’re fairly certain we wounded it pretty good.” I recall seeing coyotes in my Whittier neighborhood fairly regularly. I felt bad to see them trying to survive in the urban sprawl. I'd go to the eastern Sierras and...

The spirit of the Lil Rascals is alive and well in those clips.

Agree with both points but I find it counterintuitive that the camo sandworm is such a great bait (never seen a live one on any beach I ever fished (I googled sandworm and most of the pics are from Dune (so, what is the surfperch when he sees one? "Hey, that thing looks like a tiny version of...

I remember seeing the Gulp! sandcrabs for the first time at Fred Hall a few years ago. Thought they were a great idea and bought several bags. Unfortunately, the perch weren't fooled.

Great vid. Was both informative and entertaining. Well done. My wife and I spent several anniversary weekends on Shelter Island. Lisa would shop and I would go across the street and throw a swimbait. A win-win.

Not familiar with the writer but I love the line, "And whether it is fish or gold or gear, We all are fishermen throughout the year." One of the reasons why I still enjoy PFIC despite the meager amount of fishing I get to do myself.

Good old John. He's also credited with writing: "It has always been my private conviction that any man who puts his intelligence up against a fish and loses had it coming." A lot of people think of Hemmingway when it comes to fishing, but Steinbeck 2as no slouch on the subject. I saw his...

I remember when my wife's sister was growing up in Crescent City in the 70's, she was in a school fishing club. I thought it was a cool idea then. Up here in Idaho, there's a high school tournament coming up in May. https://highschoolfishing.org/idaho-high-school-fishing-state-championship-may-7/

Well stated, a lot of thought-provoking points. Thanks for posting.

If this is going to a vote, fishsniffer gets mine. That reply made my day.

Just another ordinary day in Laguna Beach. That story plays like an old Ed Zern F&S column. The lobster probably thought, "And I thought being stuck in a Tank at Sizzler was a nightmare."

I'm old and nostalgic. Enjoyed the one-armed fisherman. Worked the gaff better than most with two arms. Thanks for posting.

A worthy Ghol...heh.

Great story, worthy of old Paul Harvey.
