Disclaimer: Eating raw fish has risks. Most fish caught here in California can contain anisakis, a parasitic worm that can make you really sick. Freezing fish at home does not kill the parasites, the only way is to fully cook the fish. That being said I have never heard of anyone getting sick and thought it would be worth the risk to make some salmon poke.

Ingredients:
Salmon
Soy Sauce
Mirin
Rice Vinegar
Sesame Seeds
Brown Sugar
Green Onions
Ginger
Shallot
Onion
Sushi Rice
Mango
Avocado
Cucumber
Sake

Cook sushi rice in rice cooker per instructions on the bag. Once it's done, mix in rice vinegar and mirin, while fanning and gently tossing.

Skin and debone salmon fillet, cut into half-inch cubes. I saved the fatty belly meat for nigiri.

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan.

Make the dressing by mixing soy sauce, grated ginger, mirin, brown sugar, and rice vinegar together. Adjust quantities until it tastes good.

Chop avocado and mango into cubes.

Chop the Cucumber, green onion, and shallot, into thin slices

Toss the salmon cubes with the dressing, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Put everything in a bowl so that it looks nice.

Enjoy

I am looking to buy a tandem yak for fishing/ diving. My budget is around 500$. I'm located in Santa Cruz and would ideally like to not have to travel more than an hour to pick it up. Thanks!

Went out to Manresa state beach yesterday morning. Fished from 7 to 10 for zero. The surf was rough but not unfishable, and there was intermittent rain. I met another angler out there who had the same bad luck as I did. I fished gulp sandworms, sand crabs, kastmasters, and an xrap. I think the fish just weren't there, gonna have to go back soon to get some redemption.

I went out today to Manresa state beach, only stayed two hours. I got there around noon, soon after high tide. The surf was pretty rough but not unfishable. I found one sandcrab the entire time I was there and didn't see any signs of fish. At least it was a nice day to be out on the water.

I have seen many videos on youtube where anglers catch stripers with broken lines and say that they are "wipers" aka white bass striper hybrids. These videos are usually from east coast lakes and rivers. All of the stripers I have seen here on the west coast have these broken bars. Does anyone know if it is true that broken bars mean that they are hybrids? and if so does that mean we have hybrid bass here on the west coast?

Thanks!!
