Nice report! Big Mackerel! Must have been a good fight. Glad to hear Wardens checking catches.

I've tried live Shiner perch as bait at Seal Beach, Belmont Veteran's Memorial, and Cabrillo Beach Piers. No luck with them as yet.

I was tempted to flip one out and see what would happen. :unsure:

Had the opportunity to fish the pier with my wife. Not to often we get the chance to enjoy some fishing time together. Overcast conditions and the fish weren't too cooperative. Fished a receeding high tide. Fish started biting around 9 a.m. The Mrs. drew first blood with several Shiner perch on...

Thanks to everyone for sharing comments. My take away from this discussion is everyone should try to be the best steward possible based upon their abilities and personality. As a fisherman I believe there is an inherent responsibility to be a positive steward of the natural resources that I...

Welcome back. Look forward to your posts. Stay healthy!

Fished a falling high tide this morning. Overcast and windy. Had the regular early morning Thornback Ray bite. In addition, there was a steady Jacksmelt run. My surprise catch was a short Barracuda on a Sabiki rig. Jacksmelt caught on anchovy and shrimp. Salema and Round Stingray nabbed with...

Overcast and very windy. Managed to catch a short Halibut, on a frozen anchovy, and two Turban snails! Fished a high tide. One other fisherman braving the wind. He caught a small Black perch on shrimp. Wind conditions had me leaving after a short stay. Good luck!

Just noticed the gaff hook injury. I'm guessing fish kept. Thanks.

Thanks Ken!

Very nice Shovelnose Guitarfish. Actual size measurements? Released? Thanks.

I had a recent experience at Seal Beach pier that made me think about how fish are treated by fisherman, with different cultural backgrounds. Scenario - I arrived early in the morning at pier. Two fisherman, a man and his teenage son, were already fishing and had caught 11 Thornback Rays. The...

Unbelievable fishing times! I wonder if regulations put into place back then would have protected the fisheries for our generation? It is very seldom now that we hear the words "Come on in the water's full of fish".

Thanks for the report.

Great story! Go for it and fish the Mission Belle one more time!

While on the pier there was another fisherman talking about Sav-On Tackle. Need to check it out.

Foggy and overcast morning on the pier. But, fish bite was on. Active Jacksmelt all morning with a sprinking of Queenfish and White Croaker. Fishermen targeting these fish were getting a steady bite. Baitfish in the water. Not sure what they were. My tally for the session was: 11 Thornback...

Thanks Ken for the report. Glad you had some Mackerel fun at Redondo. Very good news that your health was good! Sorry our paths didn't cross this time. Next time. Keep up the great work you do. 👍

Good luck! Thank you for the heads up regarding parking rates at HB.

Any luck? I haven't fished those piers as yet.
