    Cultural Differences On CA Piers And Attitudes Towards Fish.

    You did what you should have. That behavior disgusts me and more than you can count, I’ll talk .... to the people abusing fish or regulations, especially small halibut. Some high and mighty shark fishermen went over the line at the pier and left a half dozen shark on the hot concrete including...

    Seal Beach Pier April 11th

    I used to work off Telegraph and Savon is a gem for sure. Sad when Fisherman’s hardware closed up in LBC.

    Three piers but a slow fishing day...

    I thought HB was a straight 20 bucks for parking. I use the Passport App for parking rather than feed the machine. Works very well at the pier lots.

    Veteran's Memorial Pier March 5th

    I ordered a soft bait to resemble the grunion that are here now. Halibut love grunion. See what happens. I love Belmont but the few folks that seem unstable listen if you tell them to move along. I’ve seen some fishermen hand them a blunt to get away

    Avoid Huntington Beach pier.......

    Skip it entirely. Events at HB pier etc start around 7am. Many other places to fish for a week. It's a nightmare that whole week.

    Belmont Pier report

    Im now going to Belmont Saturday morning to get a Needlefish. When Edison used to dump warm water, the Seal Beach jetty was the place and a fish every cast for those little fighters. Bring Needlenose pliers. They cause damage.
