Al Quattrocchi has written numerous articles on corbina, the long lost relative of the belman. The difference between the two is that it's not uncommon to spot 50 corbina in the shallows on a LA beach. Check out the photo gallery on his blog, there's a photo of a school of corbina in the shallows with surfers and swimmers behind it. Crazy! To think that belman also used to be this plentiful is just heart breaking.
