Nice place. A long dock. A sign says there’s no need for a fishing license to fish from there. Gotta be because it’s an international city. Too many people ignoring it. Those things seem to be going on all over the country now.

Happens all the time. Sometimes closures as far north as Coranado Beach.

There is no license required to fish at most SoCal beaches.

Ah the famous Tijuana “Shit” River. That’s what happened when the Mexican drainage system was finished and politics stopped the US half. This was even a problem 20 years ago

They’ll require the surfers to wear masks after the s**t subsides. Fauci recommends it.

“ Hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic water has flowed north from Mexico over the past several decades.”

That’s not the only toxic thing that has been flowing north and even encouraged for several decades.
