Do you have a link to the poster (better than facebook) so I can put it in my notebook as a reminder. We will probably be dragging our little net in August and see them sometimes.
People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

Love the patterns on those fish. Are they a type of sea robin?

They aren't related to sea robins, bodebum, other than they both are fish with fin rays.

I think they're fairly common on the sea wall at the pass. Not so much at the pier, I caught a small one on the pier.

Im always scared to touch any fish that ugly. Always worried there is some secret spine or venom. I've caught them on the seawall at the pass myself.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
