2024's Second Round Of Grunion Fishing Is Open for the evenings of Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, July 5-8. Roughly between the hours of 9:30 pm and 1:30 am, following the nocturnal high tide. The small, silvery fish tend to spawn on wide, gently sloping beaches such as Silver Strand, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Del Mar. California law allows the taking of grunion in summer (except in those areas classified as ecological preserves). A California fishing license is required for persons 16 years and older  — and south of Point Arguello, an Ocean Enhancement Validation is also required. Grunion may be taken by hand only. No holes may be dug in the beach to entrap them. Rule changes in June 2022 limit the daily bag and possession limit for grunion to 30 fish. Check wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/Grunion for more details.

Plant the new moon this week.

July’s New Moon Will Be On The 5th at 3:57 pm. According to the age-old practice of planting by the Moon, the ground is the most fertile the days leading up to and the days following the new moon. It might be a good time to plant another round of summer veggies — or your first round, if you live along the coast and have been waiting for the marine layer to burn off.
