    Default 14 in Sand Calico limit

    I think this was a awesome ideal. I took
    4 newbie's and they caught 20 sand and calicos bass
    a piece on a half day trip. They know nothing about fishing. But they were mad that they didn't catch 14 inch bass instead they caught 13 inch bass all day.
    We also caught 18 inch barracuda all day, great fun out of Dana Point.

    They were as of every on boat mad they didn't to keep them. I think without the rule they would had a very difficult time catching fish.
    It must be way past my bedtime because that was a tough read.

    I personally like the new rules. (the reason why?) I remember the start of my Salt water fishing career in the 1970's. It amounted to Albacore in the Summer and Rockcod in the winter. What was mostly in between was Bass! Calico's when the water got warm enough and Sand Bass in the summer. It was unbelievable compared to what it is now. So having these mostly throw everything back Bass trips are ok by me. There still a lot of fun on light tackle and it's helping save the fishery!

    The simplest explanation is the currents changed. They swim to Japan and back and now they hit the American coast up in Northern Ca and swim up to Washington state and then back to Japan. There is hope they will 1 day come back to the California Bight. They left us before in 1987 and didn't return til 1998 and then stayed with us for about 10 years before vanishing again. So they might come back again in our lifetime!
