Is this some sort of saltwater fish that enters brackfish water, like the L.A. river near the ocean, at times? They look fairly large and fun to catch, lol, for the LA river. What type of fish is it?

I remember seeing this vid. I think its a striper.

It's a bloody Mullet!

Thanks! I'm not very familiar with saltwater fish, good to know.

I just dug up DockRat's thread about LA River fishing for mullet, looks like fun:

I looked it up and it does look like a mullet.

That's Mitch. He fishes there for Mullet or at Willow St for Carp.
That spot is at Anahiem St. fresh/salt mix, at incoming high tide that cement berm gets covered.

Are mullet good to eat?

And I see he's perfected the City Park Bedding Bass technique of catching fish.

Mitch could use some sunscreen.

Mitch could use some sunscreen.

I didn't know what you were talking about until I saw the video again.

I thought Mitch was wearing a red sweater. Silly me.

Thanks for the Vid. Dang that guy looks pretty hard core, I wonder if he lives under the bridge.

I wonder if he lives under the bridge.

Nah...He lives in a van, down by the river.
