Yuck.. I was hoping to catch and eat some fish in the bay, but apparently the water quality is even worse than previously thought, which wasn’t good to begin with..

This water quality issue is also just not localized to the SD Bays.

Unless I'm offshore, I don't really do the 'keep and cook.' If I want fish, I'll head to the local fresh fish market, and if I'm feeling like a Rockefeller, perhaps a nice restaurant.

A better ROI plus you won't get worms.

For me nothing south of La Jolla. Honestly I hate cleaning fish so I’m almost always C&R unless there’s a cleaning service 😂

I still like going out there to fish for fun, but I wouldn’t eat anything from the bay. If you just want fresh fish to cook, way safer to grab some from a local market.
