REMINDER: You have until Tuesday January 31, 2012 to send in your 2011 lobster report card to the California DFG or face a $100 fine - and unlike previous years, they know who you are.
Reports from yesterday didn’t leave me to believe conditions would be very good today, but unlike yesterday, we didn’t have a [...]
