I suppose I should post my new species for 2020. Crazy that the Jan stuff was only a year ago, feels more like several years went by.

The targets I wasn't successful with included:
1. pile perch from the wrecks outside Mission Bay
2. white perch from Oceanside Harbor
3. a proper sized yellowtail from the kayak
4. banded guitarfish from San Diego Bay
5. sailfin molly from an estuary connected to San Diego Bay
6. a mako or thresher from the kayak (but maybe that's for the best)
7. staghorn sculpin from the mouth of the SD River
8. reef finspot from the tidepools
9. bluebanded goby or anything else new from Catalina
A midshipman should be on that list too, but I honestly didn't try for one. Maybe this year.
