I'm going grunion hunting tonight.

I just want you to know that I saw that comment.

The older couple who caught the only grunion last night said they only caught three the night before and said there used to be thousands of them which would wash up on the beach all at once. No one seems to know why there are so few of them this year. It could be over fishing since there is no limit to the number of grunion which can be caught but it could also be pollution or climate change or something else at work.

So you can take as many as you want and sometimes there's more people than grunion? That doesn't sound like a very smart management plan. It's a wonder there's any left at all.

Basically. They just require you to catch them by hand instead of using nets or anything else. I saw one group digging a hole in the sand with shovels to trap the fish and this is illegal but by and large I think the just hands rule is enforced. Also wasting fish is actually a crime but I'm not sure how they enforce that one.

We're going to go again tonight though it will be a ***** to get up for work tomorrow. We probably won't stay as late as we did last night though so hopefully the fish come ashore early and in large numbers.

I'm going again tonight which should make work tomorrow kind of hellish but it is the final night of the scheduled grunion run and I want to bag some grunion before this run is over. tonight we're heading south to Coronado around the silver strand.

A youtube video to tide you over until I come back around 2am.

Seeing all those people stumling around out their in the dark with flashlights makes me want to schedule a nude marathon of the AARP to go stampeding right through there.
