Thank you for all your comments :D
I was fishing at the Dana Point Pier....

the question about the crab..
Everytime I put my bait in the water something was hitting it but ate all the bait so.. I put the bait in again and as soon as it hit I pulled the line up and something went straight after the bait and up came a crab ;)

I guess I was more curious as to what was eating all my bait that night..
