Pacific Grove 7/18 fish and spear

Nathan is young, I am old.  He was warm, I was cold.  He went diving, I went fishing.  He speared some, I got more and better   Nothing to brag about, a few blacks, one cabezon.  He got a few grass rockies and some perch.  The fishing overall was pretty slow.

When I was trying to make bait, I hooked a senorita.  Anybody know if they are legal to use as live bait?  Not knowing, I tossed the fish back but now I am curious.

If you head out that way, be careful, the boat traffic is loosing IQ at a fast rate.  Nathan had a dive flag up, and a full party dive boat was a hundred or so feet away and some idiot ran between the two of us at full throttle.

wish I still had the will to fish rockies I'd make a trip down that way Couldn't swear to it but I think they taste better

Where were you in pacific grove? I wonder if they still have the city-imposed mpa? we used to go in there and fish it anyway

boat pilot iqs run the gamut

I had a 6 pack(pro) outside of hmb come at me full throttle like they were aiming and I could've touched the boat with my paddle when it passed

The people in the back dropped their jaws when they saw me flipping them the bird in the boat's wake

I was fishing the coral street area.  Between the Lover Point no fish zone and the Asilomar no fish zone.  It still has some restrictions but fin fish are OK.

Pretty sure senoritas can be used for bait.Spike sabikis and uses one in the kayak fishing video filmed in socal.

Glad you caught some rockies and Cabie.  Thanks for the report Eugene.
