Set up near the surf and fished for spotfins. Caught one and lost another big one busting off. Bait was asian market cooked mussels. Can't locate any fresh in the markets anywhere. Any one know where to buy them? Also got 2 sargos (on shrimp). Interesting day, guy next to me caught a lobster and didn't know they existed in CA (he fished 20 years there)?? He released it. Another guy walking up and down the pier with an eel.
Just read Cuda J's report and he's right about the illegal activities on the pier. One guy caught a lot of spotfins, I am assuming over 10 and leaves them in the bucket. I saw him selling them to a lady and advertising them for sale. He was using fresh mussels from the pier. He had large bucket full of mussels. This guy was prepared to do some damage. I wasn't going to confront the guy, him being an older gentlemen and he had a large crowd cheering him on. Oh well. It was a fun day.
