WOW...how about some of those big resident Bugs ...some of these guys are over 20 or 30 years old. Cockroaches Del Mar.
The EPA...or whats left of it...LOL...has only been around a relatively short while...and the Navy and local commercial businesses have been dumping toxins in there for years....!

Eating the local/resident fish is not wise...but as Andy said...and I agree...a lot of the other smaller harbors have the fish moving in to spawn.
I can't catch Halibut in the harbors most of the year as well as I can in the spring and early summer...
