The leopard shark was illegal, plain and simple. As for the thornbacks, there is a reason why we call them "throw 'em backs" — not enough meat to justify keeping them.

You should check out trhe Sea Lion Cove by the Point Arena Lighthouse. Although a Marine Protected Area it allows fishing and it is a spot that produced MANY fish for me over the years (9.42 fish per trip). It has many inlets that cut into the rocks and allow you basically fish say ten feet or...

I interact with pier anglers all the time and so far haven't been attacked. However, you do need to offer information in a friendly, non-threatening manner. Did you know is not a bad opening line. If you're rebuffed or it appears the people are unfriendly at that point then stop, don't escalate...

I could be wrong but I think they are pricing themselves out of the market for many people.

I have a hard time seeing $300 for a halibut trip in the bay.
