Hi Bob - During the 4 day grunion run, what time do you recommend going out to hunt halibut for the best odds? Is it during the hours when they run? or is it at dusk and dawn?

Also, is the best...

What's going on with the road between Catavina & the LA Bay turn off?

Re: Shore dive tomorrow 4/8 in San Diego?

I'm going to surf at dawn - but I'll report back with how conditions look afterwards around 8-9am. It would probably be the best around that time when the tide is full.

Going to play it by ear on...

Re: Shore dive tomorrow 4/8 in San Diego?

I surfed LJ today and it looked like it cleared up a little bit. Not great but probably about 10 feet.

Re: Shore dive tomorrow 4/8 in San Diego?

You're better off surfing tomorrow. I just got out of the water in LJ and there is a short period mix of swell, and the water viz is poor.

Re: Attention fellow goat herders...

@rysgates - Thanks for the info. I didn't realize the connection between sheepshead, urchins, and kelp. Interesting.

Re: Attention fellow goat herders...

@Lompoc - Sorry to be a newb, but can you explain what is wrong with taking sheepshead? Sounds like they may play a role in the kelp regeneration from one of your comments above. thanks - 0
