    Oceanside pier reopens Friday!!!!

    Given that the article was posted on May 3, I think it meant Friday May 10th... I think opening it on May 3 would have indicated a superhuman level of effort on the repairs...

    Point Arena, Jun 28 - July 5th

    I'll be staying at a time share up in Point Area for that week. I've never fished the area but was intending to visit the pier. Anyone up there with direct tips and advice? Looking for shore access too, but it looks like it's mainly cliff fishing. Is there much beach access in the area?

    Cultural Differences On CA Piers And Attitudes Towards Fish.

    I agree with The Happy Wanderer. I'll call cal tip or something but I am definitely not going to interact with a completely unknown person if they are doing something sketchy. Last thing I want is someone's bait-knife in my gut. If they look friendly and seem to be doing something out of...

    I stopped hitting CGP nearly as frequently once they put in the little wall. You are right about it making things a lot more difficult.

    The cost of Bay Area Sportfishing boats...

    Cost is generally a reflection of the local conditions. Higher expenses, fewer customers leads to a higher break-even point cost per customer. I don't miss the upward spiraling cost of, well, everything from living up there.

    I always liked the coast guard pier... Except for when it was swarming with sea lions.

    FYI about Catalina GTG

    Considering that east of the harbor is a mini-SMCA and that the only way to fish this area is from the mole...

    Cabrillo Beach Pier-Mixed Catch of Fish

    I just noticed the wording on this... Are cast-nets specifically banned south of Point Conception, or are they specifically allowed north of Point Conception as an exception?

    Surf fishing rules...

    It looks like fair advice, but I'd change most places where the author uses "yards" to "feet". Saying that the minimum distance for enough space between fishers should be half of a football field is a bit much under most circumstances on most beaches... And if someone has 4 poles set up 100'...

    What's the rationale

    I think it's because the majority of humans are social primates while a few of us are rather misanthropic by nature. Since the majority crave being crammed next to each other like sardines in a can they can't comprehend the desire to be alone so they mistake intruding on ones solitude as a...
