Wade,
Thanks for the info. I would mention though that all three fish I caught at San Pablo on Sunday, 2 males and a female, moved right back to their beds after I caught them. I suspect I could have caught the males again if I wanted to even, and the female although warier, was still very locked onto her bed.
Not advocating any kind of fish "abuse" or anything, just giving an example that bed fishing is probably not that damaging when fish are caught and promptly released.
