Balboa Pier

So yeah, tonight I went fishing at Balboa Pier with my wife. I've been on somewhat of a fishing kick of late even though I don't really know what I'm doing. I've been reading a lot online and talking to people out on the piers to try and figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. Monday, I fished with two guys who showed me how to catch shovelnose guitarfish (or something like that). They caught quite a few but I just got my bait stolen. So anyways, tonight I went back and got a few more bites but no luck yet. A note to anyone who cares, some guys were catching some nice sized surf perch on blood worms. (They had like forty poles.) Some people were catching mackerel down at the end as well. I've still yet to catch a mackerel, though it seems some people catch them by the bus load. (That was humorous since fish swim in schools.)

So even though I'm not catching anything yet, I'm learning a ton. 

Today's lesson:  If you leave a frozen squid in your car on Monday, your car will reek to high heavens by Thursday.
