Today was derby day for the SKCPSA. The opportunity to win $3000 was too tempting for me not to buy a ticket and give it a shot. Ben and I launched at Redondo and began fishing around 0600. The act...

Good fishing, but what made this trip terrible was the lack of common sense on the Dash Point Pier. The Behavior by the few people there was appalling, offensive and completely uncalled for. For examp...

Didn't catch anything, not even a dogfish. I don't know what it is but the fish just didn't seem to bite. Guess I'll just have to wait till the salmon come in.
