After that I picked up a small spottie that went unphotographed. I also saw a guide pal, Spot, looking for fish for his client. Then I went home.

Do the Strand 6/14
Quick report. Woke up, felt like crap, been a little sick. Coughed up a lung, got dressed, and headed for my regular spot in Coronado to get another Yellow Fin Croaker. I guess I got to my spot around 8:10 am. It was overcast, a little chilly, and for some reason standing barefoot and underdressed in the bay didn't seem like a dumb idea. I cast a crease fly for a while, thinking it was more baitfish-like and would stay out of the weeds (they float). But no. Nothing. I switched through a few flies I got at the fly swap. Finally the sun came out, and my first fish was the target species... a smallish YFC.

Many people have never stopped to think about it, but fish are smart, interesting animals with their own unique personalities—just like the dogs and cats we share our homes with. Did you know that fish can learn to avoid nets by watching other fish in their group and that they can recognize individual "shoal mates"? Some fish gather information by eavesdropping on others, and some-such as a type of South African fish that lays eggs on leaves so that they can be carried to a safe place—even use tools.
That's right LD, but did you know through the ages, many cultures have featured fish in their legends and myths, from the "great fish" that swallowed Jonah the Prophet through to the half-human, half-fish mermaid around which books and movies have been centred (e.g., Splash). Among the deities said to take the form of a fish are Ika-Roa of the Polynesians, Dagon of various ancient Semitic peoples, and Matsya of the Dravidas of India. The astrological symbol Pisces is based on a constellation of the same name, but there is also a second fish constellation in the night sky, Piscis Austrinus. Fish have been used figuratively in many different ways, for example the ichthys used by early Christians to identify themselves through to the fish as a symbol of fertility among Bengalis.[42] Fish have also featured prominently in art and literature, as in movies such as Finding Nemo and books such as The Old Man and the Sea. Large fish, particularly sharks, have frequently been the subject of horror movies and thrillers, most notably the novel Jaws, which spawned a series of films of the same name that in turn inspired similar films or parodies such as Shark Tale, Snakehead Terror, and Piranha.
