    What fish is this? Youtube Video

    Hello. I saw this video and I am not sure what type of fish these could be. Video isn't great quality but the fish seem pretty big (for inshore) and fast chasing down the lure. EDIT: I'm pretty certain this is in San Diego. Let's see your thoughts. :D

    Has Anyone Gone Grunion Running Lately?

    Hello Everyone. Has anyone gone Grunion Running lately? I have not gone in about 10+ years and looking forward doing the run on July 4 (Free Fishing Day!). Where is a good place to go? 10+ years ago I would go to Cherry Beach. Not much action when I went then but still fun. Cheers!
