		Army corps has been trying to cull cormorants and terns for several years and keep running into legal issues with conservation groups.  Now audubon is going to sue in response to the proposed  cormorant cull. 
 
I propose they live trap a couple doz skunks,coons and red fox off the mainland and dump them on the nesting islands. Problem solved

		Hooked a dozen of those and landed 8 last week.  Also hooked into half dozen seals but failed to land any.  If anyone is going to S Cal make sure and hit a boat for yellowtail.  It's on and BFT are starting to show.
