Last week I was in Avalon fishing the Mole and overheard a local. The construction of the new facilities at Mole is to begin sometime in April or May. Although I have heard so many dates before and did not happen, this one may be correct. Therefore, any GTG to be held there should be before...

There is a notion among many anglers that I have met; that the bonito meat is not good to eat. Contrary to this belief in Turkiye, they love the fish. This is one way they fillet it to make sure all the blood veins are disposed of. No need to have the sound on...

I was in Catalina for New Year’s Eve celebration. While waiting to get on the boat on January 2nd, I saw the workmen install this new information display. It has a mistake on it, but the crew had left, before I could tell them that. See if you can tell what it is! Caught fish, but no...

Wishing everyone a happy holiday season.

Home sweet home. Got home yesterday. Fishing was not good, so no big report. However, if there is an interest, I can share some pictures.

I received an email from Department of Fish and Wildlife that I thought I share here. It relates to upcoming lobster fishing and the new regulations thereof. Two points stuck out that I almost sent them an email asking if there was a typo with one of them. It was regarding the start time of...

Imagine reading an article in the newly arrived Fish Taco Chronicles magazine about the Ocean Beach pier and seeing this picture! The sad part is that this is not the first time they have made this mistake. I was going to tell the publisher which I consider friend at the Bart Hall Show, next...

What a lovely shot by Mr. Steve Taylor. Click on picture to enlarge.

This was filmed (5) years ago today. At 0:32 look far from the pier to see water texture change, when bonito hits the feather. Where did time and my youth go?

.....due to a big surfing event from July 29-August 6th.

I was looking for some old pictures and came upon these. The long hair guy with the bell bottom pants at the very left is yours truly. I am standing on a jetty in front of Casino at Avalon, Catalina. My first trip to Avalon. Year 1972. I was there with college friends for one day to watch the...

How can we help. Any suggestions? URGE CONGRESS TO SUPPORT THE YOUTH COASTAL FISHING PROGRAM ACT! Approximately 86% of current fishing participants started fishing before the age of 12. This highlights the importance of being exposed to fishing at a young age. Fishing offers youth a way to...

Wow. I had seen this video before and I had to share it here for those who have not seen it. https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1422253248422994 By the way, the narrator, Mr. David Attenborough (British broadcaster and naturalist) is brother of Mr. Richard Attenborough. An actor. You may recall...

Today is Oceans Day. Not sure what it means, but first saw it on my calendar from SD zoo, then on TV.

I plan to be on the Mole on June 21st and stay over-night and fish until next day. Leaving Long Beach at 6:00 AM and leaving Avalon at 7:45 PM on 22nd. General seating both ways. Anyone who wants to join me for either day or both days, is welcomed.
