Breakwall Currents
Report from our last fishing trip read.
All witner the swell hitting the Palos Verdes shoreline that remains open to angling has been too rough to fish. Finally today (2/22) the surf was 2 - 3 feet, which is as big as you would want to be comfortable. Problem was, after a stop at the Colorado Lagoon slime pit, there is no opaleye bait available. The mud banks are green but the algae is thin and short. I was hoping after last week's rain we would have the long and strong verdant strings; too bad.
