if you can devise a decent sand crab imitation, they are the food of
choice for many of the fish cruising the breakers and sandbars...at
least here in nc. *the big drum love them, as do the sea mullet and
weakfish (gray trout) and speckled trout.

Frank,
A word of caution is due! Be careful, if you use one of you famous "Fighting
Crawfish," as Killer whales are know to like gigantic clawed lobsters and
might mistake your "Fighting Crawfish" for a gigantic clawed lobster. We now
know that killer whales are very vicious and dangerous creatures that will
yank you from your pool side (beach side in this case) repose into the murky
depths to thrash you about, until drowned--who'd a thunk such timid looking
critters would be so devious? I bet if they had been name "Friendly,"
instead of "Killer" whales, their dispositions would be much more mellow!
Live and learn, I guess.

Anyway, be safe and keep your ponytail away from the crashing waves. Oh
yeah, don't frolic with baby seal pups in the shallows, Killer whales seem
to just appear out of no where and gobble them up!

There are no Orcas on that coast. Plenty of Great White Sharks, though.

This is an LA Times rtecent update on J, K, and L Pods, the so-called
"Southern Resident pods of killer whales. They do get down to NorCal
coast some.

I've lived there for 31 years and never heard of Orcas, but if anyone
can find them, it's Frank.

I beg to differ. Great pods in the Puget Sound and I've also seen
them in Monterey Bay.

Puget Sound?? Monterey Bay?? I thought we were talking about Southern
San Francisco Bay.
