Before i get into this................I know i should have called DFG.
Anyways, I went to Newport on beach enjoying my anniversary with the GF sunday Sept. 30 (last sunday) and when i got there i wanted to get my line wet. As i looked around, i noticed that there were alot of non english speaking people surrounding me. Not to say the least but out of curiousity, i asked if there were anyone around catching any fish? The GF went to grab a couple dogs to eat at the end of the pier and while i set up my 30 year old Sportfisherman rod and real( Yeah, i know, its old school also my first Pier fishing pole ever). Completing the setup, one of my fellow fisherman caught a pretty large fish, so again i asked and no one spoke english. So i just simply watched and fished on my own.
Later, i casted and my spool released from the reel and that was the end of the Legendary Sportsfisherman Reel... :(
Upon watching the others, they had a setup of 6 or treble hooks on one line!!!:/ what the? At the very end, they had Bright ribbons top and bottom. I was wondering what all the commotion was when they were constantly yanking they poles as if they got something.. hmmm... yeah they were snagging FISH... well i let it go(which i should have called DFG like i said to see if that was legal).... looked over the horizon and there were another group of more non english underneath the pier with backpacks over their shoulders in front of them diving for something that they were sneaking into that back pack.....
It was very large CLAMS!!!! Man they were taking them by the hundreds WHAT THE HECK!
By that time i was pretty irritated but i didn't want to ruin our Anniversary by spending time making phone calls.....
Anyway guys whats the deal.... ?
