No Social Distancing Part Four, I Know This Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
Headed to Balboa Pier at 7:20 am, around dead low tide. Conditions looked good, minimal wind and calm water. I set up behind the Rubys on the south side. Lots of sardines, as per the last few trips, but this time, mini mackerel were also mixed in. Around 10, I saw a spot open up at the very end, and moved there. Lots of people already had small bonito in their buckets, but at that point the bite was over. I jigged a sabiki for some more sardines, mini mackerel, jacksmelt, and a round herring (Etrumeus acuminatus), a more southern species that has been occasionally showing ever since 2015. I left the pier at 12:20.
