Hey Harry

There are rockpiles out there, just go out and start marking 180 feet. There has been a lot of pressure lately on a few small spots. I have been seeing guys going out in groups of 10 and all sitting on this one spot yanking up limits, on a weekly basis.

Most of the guys who knew the spot would go out on a monthly (if that) basis. The latest yahoos are going out on a weekly basis. Fishing is not what it used to be there.

Hey, Harry. I'll let Steve answer for himself, but will say that the fact that he's fishing again is a great sign

that is disheartening to read. I guess because I like fish to be fresh I don't catch a limit to freeze and eat later. I normally eat the fish I catch that day or the next so I just keep what I can fix for my wife and I. I'm sure that kind of pressure is going to hurt that area. Thanks for the info on where to fish. Since I live in Yucaipa it's a drive to go anywhere and fish salt water and about 3/4 of the time I'm fishing by myself so that will save me some searching time.

I fish alone most of the time too. I will send you a PM next time I go out.
