You Are So Right, You "Lived" What I Had Read About That Era...WOW, It Would Be A"Major" Factor To Our Ecosystem, In Calif. If A Occourance Of That Porportion Would Ever Happen Again,"Lord FORBID" It Would Impact The Food Chain In Unthinkable, Ways....But The Come Back Of The "Pilchard" is "Well" ...Last Year At San Simieon Pier, I Got To Witness The ENTIRE COVE COMPLEATLY "Corralled "By The Commercial Fleet....The "DENSITY" Of The "Corndogs" Was So Thick !!!! I Threw A 1oz. Kastmaster Jig Out And, Could Feel The Jig, Ripping Them,Like Reeling In a Lure In A " Barrel of Water Filled With Wet Newspapers," I Realized, At The End Of The Retrive Of The Lure , HOW IMPORTANT, This Commodity Is For Our Beautiful State. Watching Pelican's In The HUNDRED"S CHRASHING Over,& Over, Sea Lion's Manipulating There Right Of Way , Through The Nets, To Feast And To Teach There Young How To Survive,,...If I Only Had My Video Cam...!!! Remember: Share What You Know To Help Your Sport Grow..Help Fish Stocks Increase, Thru Catch & Release.....Thank's For The Memrobilia"s <br><br>
