When we visited the La Brea Tar Pits in LA, we actually saw a pigeon get trapped in the tar. We were lucky to see the tar pits in action! They had a staff member with a reaching pole rescue the pigeon from its oily grave and place it in a box... either for treatment or euthanasia... not sure.

You and Jeremy were able to soak bait at Santa Monika?!?! I had NO luck at all just ALL KELP TANGLES every 5 minutes!! So Brutal!!! Do you think I wasn't getting my bait out far enough? Maybe that was why...

The surge was also very strong when I fished SOMA.

We were only able to soak bait that first evening. The second evening, it was kelp city and we can't even cast and retrieve any rig without tangling up with kelp...

It's just change in conditions...the good and bad of ocean fishing.
