The Grunion are Running This Weekend on San Diego Beaches

Thursday May 31, 2007
With the Rock & Roll Marathon running this Sunday, it seems fitting - or serendipitous - that the tides and moon are lining up so that a grunion run might make an appearance on San Diego beaches as well. Plus, the observation ban has been lifted and you can catch these fish (if you can) for your own consumption (be warned, you must have a valid CA fishing license). Never seen this weird phenomenon and mating ritual of wiggly, silvery fish at night? Check out my article on these little fish who "run" on to the beach right here.
