    Undersized fish

    Totally illegal. Fish should not be gaffed if it looks like a borderline keeper. There are some dummies who posted videos of themselves on YouTube gaffing potentially undersized fish. A lot of self-incriminating evidence there, bud. I wish wardens pose as regular fishermen. That's the only...

    Proposed Emergency Reduction CA Halibut Limit

    One million percent disagree. Sure, there are some newbies who don't know the rules. That is kind of forgivable. But, when you see people rocking baitcasters and conventional reels and cheating, chances are, they are not new to the game. A lot of the cheaters I see here in Northern California...

    Proposed Emergency Reduction CA Halibut Limit

    I absolutely despise greed in humanity. Once I get a whiff of someone's selfishness, they are forever on my $hitlist. Whenever you hear stuff like "fishing is not like it used to be," 9 times out of 10, greed is the driving force behind that. There's a scene from The Matrix that paints a...

    SF Bay

    I rarely post any more unless I have an interesting story or I have something to rant about. Unfortunate to hear about the closure of Muni. I did really good there the last couple of years. The last time I had spoken with Ken Jones, I predicted that Muni was on the chopping block and I was...

    The official California Fish & Wildlife Dept. list of public piers and jetties — NO FISHING LICENSE REQUIRED

    I've noticed in the San Francisco County list that Pier 1 and the Ferry Building are not on the public pier list. I'm guessing you would need a fishing license to fish either of these places with a maximum of 1 line per person? Another question is where does the 2-rod stamp applies? From what...

    Spot Burning?

    Happy 4th and stay safe out there in this mad, mad world. Condolences to the families of those 3 missing guys. All 5 guys are true heroes...

    Spot Burning?

    I get it. Content creators have the freedom to record as they please. They have the freedom to provide content to the public as they please. Some depend on it for their livelihood. They might not see the immediate aftermath of their actions, but they will eventually feel it when the places...

    Spot Burning?

    I really shouldn't post this because it is somewhat of a burn. I'm only going to post this to drive home the point on how a quick flash of the background can expose a fishing spot. The video creator even went as far as saying that he was hesistant to post the video because of "how valuable and...

    Spot Burning?

    True, there are no "secret" spots, but timing is everything. How does it feel to catch a fish at a "quiet" spot and have 10 guys show up to the same spot the following day just because of some loose lips? I'm curious if that has ever happened to you? I've had that happen to me earlier in the...

    Fish in Paradise

    I dedicated my latest fishing endeavor to the late Eloy who fished the Richmond pier. First impressions are everything to me and Eloy was always warm and welcoming to me the handful of times I have fished Richmond. I will never forget the people who were kind to me in life. Never. You can...

    Northbay Action “Live” 06/08

    Rest in peace, Eloy. Condolences to his family. He was always cordial to me the few times I've been to Richmond and I will never forget that.

    A Picture is worth

    Wasn't my fish, but it was a nice 25-incher.

    Need some help...

    No garbage. No graffiti. No puke. No piss. No idiots. No poachers. That would be ideal, unfortunately, such a pier doesn't exist. It's the complete opposite here in Northern California. Is it that hard to carry around a pee cup? Really "pisses" me off when someone pisses on the pier...

    500 words. A 1000 if I didn't blur out the background.

    And I Thought It Was Over

    Once You're Hooked. You remind me of a member (FoggyCoast, most recently Multicast) from StriperOnline.com who was lambasted online for taking every single fish you catch. FYI. 27.91. GREEN STURGEON. (a) Green sturgeon may not be taken or possessed. (b) Green sturgeon may not be removed from...

    Finally A Hali Worth Posting

    You're watching a master at his craft. Embrace every letter that he types and pass that wisdom onwards to your kin. This is how humans evolve into better beings. Sharing. Let those songs linger, my friend. They're always in my head.

    Paradise Pier - Poachers

    I would have to disagree. These guys need to be called out for their wrongdoings. These guys need to be ashamed to show their faces in public. Nothing is more embarassing than having poacher affixed to one's name. If I were fishing with more like-minded individuals yesterday and we all...

    East Bay Halibut

    First of all, congrats on the fish. I wish you were with me yesterday because it's hard to constantly fight a losing one-man battle.
