good to see Steve out and fishing. How is he feeling? I need to get out there and chase some rock fish. How far out is it from the mouth of the bay to where you start finding them. Are there some rock piles or reefs people are fishing?

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.
