Surfan,

That is very unusual for Calicos to be concentrated in a shallow sandy enviornnment! I'm no Marine Bioligist (wish I was!) but I can't help but help think that this may be one of the pleasant results of the coming El Nino conditions.

At any rate, How Exciting! I catch Calicos at Oceanside Harbor but they are usually just Pups. They hit strip Mackerel really hard and never hesitate tearing up my 3" swimbaits. But again, they are usually taken where the jetty rock meets the sand aroung the open channel area.

It might be a real blast to take some swimbaits down there with the chance of hooking up with them and possibly a Flattie or two.

Thanks for the report and good luck!
