Went SSP today a little after 2 PM. The entire pier was covered up by schools of small 3-in thread herring, and there was no sign of anything attacking them even though the schools were a full cast out from the pier. All that was the same all along the pier until I got to the end of the pier where many hermanos were throwing straw or spoon rigs behind floats. Talked to a nice guy throwing a straw rig, and he said no macks had been caught, but a few bonito had been hooked up by others. He said that macks were caught right after sunrise, and that he heard that yesterday macks were caught starting around 4PM. I suggested that maybe the would show around 5 today, allowing for the tide shift. Everything was dead for the next couple of hours until about 5 when I jigged up 4 macks just beyond the bait shop until 6. I then moved down to near the start of the pier. The hermanos had all moved that way from the end and had caught 5 or 6 macks each. I stopped very near the entrance an caught one more mackerel before they shut down after 6:15. All the macks were decent size, very robust and healthy and none were those scrawny little ones that seem to patrol the bait schools along the edge of the incoming current that was coming in all afternoon. It is nice out there, and even ca provide a nice couple of dinners. What else could anyone want?

Hermanos? Why you have to call the folk fishing hermanos? You ruined your report for me, I am fixed on your choice of name for whoever it is you are referring to. I can only surmise your mean Spanish speaking fisherman, or are you Spanish and your actual brothers there fishing? You seem very precise in interpreting others' words used on this website, use that same precision in analyzing your own words before you type please. Specifically, refer to others with respect and just say other fisherman, we are all one people on the Earth and we are equals, no people or race is better or worth more than another.

Thanks for the report Fishsci. Nice after a few months of nothing to see someone posting some fishing stories again. I am not going to nit-pick your post. I couldn't care less what you call the other fisherman at the pier. Wow. What is that to me? Enjoy your fish dinner.

I usually enjoy Fishci posts even though some people seem to get annoyed, but referring to people by slang names for nationality or race, nah, that is offensive to me. I hope Fishsci sees it for what it is and continues to make posts with respect.

Gee, I am sorry if I unintentionally insulted anyone. I was thinking that hermanos was a nice short way to refer to Spanish speaking guys. After all it means brothers, and they all seemed to interact with each other in a nicely close way that just any other group of fisherman normally would.

With that explanation all is cool with me, I understand your intent Fishsci. Just seems so much open discourse these days and this page has many viewers that we must choose our words carefully to not offend or alienate members. Hermanos is not a terrible name by any means but being of Spanish descent it just seemed questionable. Good luck with the mackerels this spring run, I hope to get out on the SSP soon.

Am I the only one who's ever wondered why they called them "Spanish" Mackerel to begin with?🤣
BTW thanks for the report.
At least you tried.

Who cares if he calls them hermanos? I'm sure if dude called them hermanos to their face, they wouldn't care. So why do you care so much?

I was just curious if Fishsci was making racist speech that is banned on this website. Based on his explanation, I believe he was not. That's why I cared, we do have policies on the website against such things. If you feel that confident in calling people names or alluding to their heritage, go for it dude, see if they welcome your greeting so kindly, but you certainly don't speak for them. You apparently have no clue what life is like when you are the target of hate, having to put up with racist crap everywhere you go and then told it was just a joke or it was meant to be funny. You need to wake up and think about how you make others feel, it's not all about you. |

Saying a spanish word by a non spanish is racists now? LMAO You need to pick up the rods and go fishing more and quit watching the tv/media who is baiting racism into everyone. Nothing was wrong with what he said or not even anywhere close to be racism. It just grinds my gears when people try to find racism in everything when nothing is close to it. Hows the weather up there on your high horse? At least you get some good views of the fish way down there below.

On other news the pier is packed for the morning fishing session. Currently at the end of the pier. Nice and quiet before the storm 👌.
Carry on

Nice weekend day today ... any real posts about fishing?? Yesterday there were posts about being there, but nothing about any results. Most of us would be much more interested in result instead of about peeing. Or am I wrong???

I don't claim to outfish anyone, anytime, but have a lot of experience and success that I would put up against almost any other fishermen. I too do not quite understand why some go through the effort to attack something that I have put some time and thought into and that could be helpful. Comments like yours make me feel that at least there are some who understand and appreciate reasonable comment. |

Hows the weather up there on your high horse? At least you get some good views of the fish way down there below. Did you even comprehend what I posted? I specifically stated Fishsci was not being racist in my opinion after he explained what he meant, I never said he was racist, I asked why he called those men hermanos, seemed odd to me being a Spanish person myself, so yeah I took it with suspicion as it's proper use is to refer to one's own blood line brother or someone close to you. As they are not his brothers and merely strangers to Fishci it is inappropriate for him to call them hermanos is the bottom line. Learn some cultural sensitivity, you might make a good impression instead of looking ignorant to others. The rest of your comments don't even warrant a response. |

First off, you know another poster is in this thread belittling fishsci saying he isn't a mod and can't tell people yada yada yada. But glad to see we living rent free in your head.
Secondly, you really think its no big deal to accuse someone of being a racist and then all of a sudden act like you did not wrong since you've changed your opinion? And yes fishsci I've noticed from the shadows all the "politics" around here. Hopefully with the fishing picking up, all this drama goes to the back burner.
