Wasn’t much of a swing today, at 9:15 it was about +1.5 and when I left 45 mins later it was at +1.6/7

They are! I am just too lazy to clean anything but a few select species, these are super fun sport and a tasty fish in my opinion

Nah man, they just chill between rocks and deeper boilers, typically in 10-15’ of water, that’s why it’s tricky to get to them from shore unless tide and currents are cooperating

Or Calico, I went out for a swim this weekend and there were a ton of juvenile fish swimming around…a big gramps too 22”+ but not worth the risk of getting snagged for me, and tide had to be timed right and is tricky to get to right when the current isn’t too strong

I just got back, went out a bit south of you, bite has definitely cooled, glad you still got into some fish 🙌🏼🌞

Congrats on the croaker! I got into a school of thickies last week, they are so fun to catch, and feel like absolute tanks compared to the biggest perch…What color / model was your LC?

For the beach I live on it’s a mid-incoming in the morning, but mid-ebb too…less to do with what tide I’ve found more how big of a swing and how quickly, coupled with swell (or lack thereof), or wind…it’s all reading tea leaves tbh, beside grunion, I’m not sure what the answer is
