SAND DABS FOR THE HOMELESS: On Tuesday, Dec. 17, sportfishing landings from Marina del Rey to Newport Beach will be running free sand dab fishing trips for the public, but 100 percent of the fish caught on all these trips will be donated to homeless shelters in Southern California.

"We want to do something for the needy this year and every year," said Captain Danny Strunk of the Pierpoint out of Pierpoint Landing in Long Beach. "We are starting what we hope will be a long tradition of helping the poor." Anglers can call their local landings to make a reservation on the December 17th trip. The trips will depart at 8 a.m. and return around 2 p.m. so that the fish can be collected and transported to the homeless shelters. Private boaters who want to fish on their own boats are also encouraged to join in and show up at the landings by 2 p.m. to donate their fish. And not just sand dabs.

"It doesn't have to be sand dabs," said Norris Tapp from Davey's Locker. "I'm sure some nice big halibut would work just fine."
