I used to fish on the Navel pier Leonardo with a guy I grew up with, who naturally worked at earl.
There really wasn't much guess work in catching the strippers out there, at least it seamed that way. We caught fish almost every night. He is no longer here so that ended my fun at the pier. Still I'm sure there are places as good I just need to put in time and effort.
But I have always wondered were the heck they go sometimes Joe. Hey if it was easy everyone would do it.
