    Pretty cool to see you fishing there. I’ve caught many rockfish and lings there both in my boat and kayak. Try the south jetty in eureka next time your up this way. I prefer it over the north. True monsters in crescent city if you take a boat out, though many have been caught from the shore. Epic crabbing and the herring run in feb is the best in our area.

    If you’re climbing around slippery high rocks you should really get an inflatable live preserver- if you fall and hit your head it’ll get you afloat without your input and they’re pretty low profile when uninflated. Cheap insurance to make sure your kids have a dad for as long as possible

    Honestly you don't need much fish to feed your plants. Fish has alot of nitrogen that feeds leafy growth. If you fish alot, the guts will provide the nutrient while you get to eat the actual meat! Leaves also work, if you mulch heavily during the winter.
