I remember during passed el ninos LJ being loaded with small flying fish, like the size of big dragon flies. Calico bass crashing fliers in the kelp line was crazy. Any one seen any this year? Mike

There have been numerous short bill spear fish caught locally this year..... numerous!

Bigeye tuna not yet, but it's still early in the year IMO

And yes plenty of small 3 inch flying fish on the kelp line in La Jolla.... mixed in with frigate mackerel for miles and miles and miles
