I went to school as a kid not too far from there. The area is now Third World - within sight of highrises.

I had no idea fishing licenses disappeared in the state. I mean, for people to be poaching...

Give Jose a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach Jose how to build fish traps and he’ll eat for the rest of his life. Or until ICE hauls his brown butt back to Mexico.

Without traps, the illegal fish will run rampant.

The traps were discovered about two weeks ago under the Julian Street bridge and farther south near Virginia and Willow streets.

Back in the 80s, I knew a guy who lived in a small house on Virginia Street in San Jose. He was a professor who hung out at Republican state conventions. He claimed his house was haunted, but when it turned out that he was a heavy user of psychotropic drugs, we figured out the source of the ghosts.

Check out the pier in San Diego/Imperial Beach. No license required to fish off it. People would just ignore it.

Oh, no! What about the poor illegal family man trying to feed is starving anchor babies with the fish? A welfare check only goes so far.

Used to live there. Third largest city in the state with +/-850K population. Highrises top off at about 15 stories, because downtown is in the flight path of the airport.

I sure would not drink or eat anything out of the river. Homeless use it for their bathroom and trash is feet deep in some areas.

Fish traps... har! They’re probably just impoundments so the homeless can bathe, wash clothes and shit in the water. That’s why fecal coliform and e-coli are through the roof in those areas. I’ve seen it and sampled for it down there but obviously “fish traps” and dirty poachers makes a better story.
