Gaviota Pier end section fell into the ocean during the storm of February 28th, 2014. Officially ten years w/o my favorite pier :(

Wow awesome!

Sorry to hear it... Some people just ignore any etiquette/manners... A funny thought occurred to me, though - they say "90% of the fish are in 10% of the water". You were probably fishin' in the 10%. :D

It's been four weeks but I did fish Robert Wooley Pier in Burlingame on 1/25, which was a new pier to me. 9:00 to 11:00 PM. There were five other people fishing, which made it a full house. Everyone fishing bait on the bottom and not one single bite. I didn't know how shallow the water was here...

Wow that poem... I only had the pleasure of meeting Boyd once, and I wish I'd been able to talk with him more. He set such an example for us all. Boyd, you are missed!

MERRY FISHMAS, PFIC!

Thanks for the advice, folks.

I might be up in San Mateo in January, and I was wondering if there's been any herring spawn action around there in recent years. I'm just wondering about general tips where I might have some luck. If you have a personal fave secret spot, I respect your right to not share it.

If I couldn't catch a trophy, I would still be happy with a wide open sardine bite. I really like 'em grilled or broiled with a little salt and hot sauce, lemon juice, or mustard. Trader Joe's recently was selling a cloth grocery bag with canned sardines art and a recipe for "sardine salad"...

Did you snap a photo of a photo in a museum? There's a flashbulb in the middle of the pic.

It looks like it's not going to work out this month(?) I still like the idea. Let's reschedule!

Looks legal to me. Any good cat litter scoop will work.

The red tide is really disappointing when you're itchin' for some fishin'! A nice variety of fish, still.

My wife and I did a long overdue getaway to the OC this weekend. I arrived at 5:50 AM at the Newport parking lot and let me say I am glad I don’t have to live that experience every time I fish my local spots! About two hundred people were already milling around, mostly for the Dory Fleet fish...

Well this is not my lucky day, because I am heading to stay in Newport Beach and fish the pier for the next couple days! :cautious: Thanks for the heads up. I'm still going to try!
