    That pier was the first place I ever went saltwater fishing.

    There are not too many piers for lobster in the long beach/palos verde area, but the opener has been delayed in those areas. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/CNRA/bulletins/3720261?fbclid=IwAR2LhXZrcQ9nO9JVqMz8U3k2IGfwjb6rQFzYP39fYHSBi4zKfFtXr21aaA4

    To stay home. The piers that are somewhat successful are usually wall to wall. The local boat spots become a bumper boat battle zone. I will wait a few days.

    Short visit to the Elephant Rock Pier

    They are certainly capable of it, never heard of anyone getting hurt though. Still, I am not putting my fingers in the mouth of something capable of crushing a pismo clam.

    There are NO sheepshead in Pacific Ocean.

    I am very familiar with the difference. I have caught both species. You missed my point. These are common names. Which means they can change in spelling or completely over time and location. Thats why biologists use scientific names. Ask an east coast fisherman what a rockfish is and he will...

    Kelp/calico bass. White croaker/tomcod/ronkey/sea trout. Halfmoon/blue perch. Chub/greenback mackerel. I just don’t see the point in arguing over common names. Who says who is right? A kelp bass will always be a calico to me.
