A sharp-eyed local marine hobbyist spotted the bait ball to the north of Scripps Pier.
Sure, the sea lions at the Children's Pool are cool, but one local marine-life enthusiast turned it way up last Monday when he spotted a pair of the pinnipeds herding and hunting a school of fish near Scripps Pier.
"The fins were popping up, and it was going in circles," Lokesh said."So that's, like, indicative of a bait ball, like it's trying to hunt. So I thought it was dolphins, by the shape of the fins that were coming out, but it was the flippers of, uh, sea lions, actually." "I was like, 'OK, maybe it'll still happen again,'"Lokesh recalled."So I made the drive and then spent some time there, and, yeah, it did, it did happen again."
