SAN PEDRO, Calif. — If the tide is high, the weather is warm, the clock is approaching midnight and the beach you're standing on is in Southern California, it's a given that romance is in the air — or the water. In these parts, it's a time for grunion love.

'It’s from my own fishosophy; well I actually plagiarized it from decarp “I swim therefore I am”. But in my own way, the world is my oyster and nobody can take that away from me. I continue to have a porpoise in life and really, isn’t that what counts? I could have turned out evil like Jack The Flipper but noooooooooooooooo….I became an outstanding citizen nevertheless.'

LOL! You're on a roll today...
Question about that fish she's holding: is it in the original picture?

We went to the Silver Stand in San Diego. As I said, actually seeing the grunion was secondary for an excuse to party. And you are correct, many do not believe it when you tell them about it. Something like a snipe hunt.

Lock and load, I’m ready!
Hopefully we can beat the record from last year, and get one over 80 pounds!
I still have the my necklace from the ones we made from the teeth of the big one we got last year, do you?

We went to Venice Beach, and it was after they dredged out the marina and reconstructed the sand portion of the beach. That made it ideal for the grunion.
My brother had a house right on the water, literally, and there was no sand beach at all, just a long rocky shore. What a shock it was to arrive one day and find a beautiful sand beach. Brother sold that house and bought one in Redodo — sorry, Redondo Beach.
