Time to bore you death with pictures of the Grunion Party!


There was an amazing turnout to watch fish mate in the late evening hours. It was hard to take pics with my digi cam at night because it has problems focusing on anything. The next images are kinda dark- sorry! Here are some scenes from both Friday and Saturday night. We only a spotted a few grunions the first night, but by Saturday, they were all over the place.

Here's a better look at one in a bucket.

This little boy wanted to take it home as a pet. The poor little grunion just wanted out of the damn bucket.


Here's the grunion hunting crowd Saturday night: Eric, Matt and Mike.

There were definitely more grunions out this night. According to the stuff I read about them on the internet, more grunions come out on the 3 and 4th night of the run (we went out on the 1st and 2nd) and later at night/earlier in the morning. Here are a bunch that came on shore.

I was lucky enough to get in for a close up before the tide came back up. I had problems seeing it, so that is why it's off center. So cool though!
