Sharks...what else might they be? Surf smelt, which I have dipped in pretty large quantities don't stay on the beach. They always go back out on the
same wave. Do smelt even occur in the SOC?

I remember this discussion from a couple years back. I have read reports and have seen the article on the San Felipe website and heard of others say
the same. It's funny that most authorites are not aware of it. Just have it hard to call my professor wrong. Wouldn't be the first time tho. Thanks for bringing it back.
Now that I look harder I see two that appear vertical. (sigh) This means I coul;d be wrong again. (sigh)
Well, I won't go down without a fight!

Don't you need a tiny little hook to catch them?

Many years ago I was lucky to be camping at Nuevo Mazatlan during a daytime grunion run... Yes, they are grunion and in the Gulf of California they
mate in the daytime...

Great shot BajaWarrior, not often seen in the daytime. I believe a few females are visible in the vertical position.

I can't take credit for the shot, (which was taken this past Sunday 2-24)
I liberated the photo from a Baja website to be un-named.
My home is about 15 miles south of that spot, the Grunion will do their thing for an entire afternoon up and down the beach.

Grunion make great bait to catch some 'real' fish!
Took a bunch of grunion (I froze after a run one night) down to Laguna Manuela and caught all the Calico Bass and Yellowfin Croakers I wanted!

The beaches where I grew up yielded huge amounts of grunion. They are tasty like Garry says. We usually cleaned them much like you do a trout leaving
head on. If you pan-fry them rather than deep-frying you may want to scale them as well. If you deep fry them you can eat the entire fish, bones &
scales,head minus guts. Use a good batter or dredge in seasoned flour. Season batter lightly with Spike or similar. Yum!

We saw them @ Laguna Percebu back in the eightys. After going to the beaches in SoCal to catch them in the middle of the night (Tin Can Beach) we were
shocked to see them during the daytime. Good eating!
