  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Going fishing this weekend

We had a great time out there. Don't waste your time on the pier. Look for the rocky beach areas along the coast. The setup we used was a high low set up similar to catfishing but with a single hook. We used shrimp and squid for bait and killed them. We released quite a few cabezons as well as undersized greenlings. Good luck out there!

i grew up fishing saltwater here in charleston. the barrier islands like Sullivans, Bulls, and Capers were awesome place to go back in the day... but now its so overcrowded i have to go to McClellanville and fish in the creeks back there if i dont want to hit another boat when i cast.

It looks like they are going to be shutting down our secret fishing spot: www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/08/05/MNI619406P.DTL
I really hate the hippy tofu farting retards that run the enviroment in CA. Families have fished in these places for over a century, whole businesses are based on these waters. The fact that these enviro-nazis do not care what businesses they destroy and what lives they ruin is BS. Nature adapts to us and there will always be fish, the ocean is pretty plentiful. The article says fishermen and anglers, etc. participated in this decision is a flat out lie also. CA is closing down parks and recreation areas and Fish and Game can barely afford to patrol all they have to patrol as it is. This is a stupid, uneduacated, flagrant decision.

That is a pretty dumb argument instead of clambing down on trawlers and illegal fishing operations they decide to tackle the recreational fisherman. This is incredibly stupid large trawlers and fishing fleets can riund up all the tuna, salmon, sharks and whales they want create unnatural ponds in the middle of the atlantic to fatten up their catches but we'd rather go after you andyou weekend hobby.

This is exactly the kind of "conservationist" thinking that made me want to become an environmental lawyer. As a recreational fisherman they were passing regulations and closing areas but leaving the commercial guys alone. It's just ridiculous. There needs to be balance.

I agree with you guys. I mean compare how many fish we recreational fisherman pull out of the ocean versus the commercial fisherman. The comparison is not even close.
