Btw there was bait EVERYWHERE. Dolphins jumping, birds workin you name it. Then it all died down and we decided to go back in the harbor. We scraped some muscles off a dock and fished the breakwater. Caught a smelt,sargo and garabaldi(released unharmed). Fun but slow.

Nice report. Interesting that you caught a Garibaldi! Have you ever seen them in action? I used to dive when I was 14 or 15, I'd find their nests and put rocks in them just to watch the fish pick up all the debris and clean the nest area. Interesting little guys.
