I would participate...I have a ton of gear to trade or give away

Some more pics of the pier. Beautiful and solid pier with ample parking. Another option for fishing the southern part of San Diego Bay...

The area is getting major development from the city. A hotel and resort is in progress. More family parks are being developed along with some retail stores. Their is a ton of land for this area to develop. I can see the area being similar to the Embarcadero and Seaport area of the Bay. This is...

Fished this pier for a couple hours. Fished a Carolina rigged Anchovy and squid. A few short bites but nothing on the dead bait. Was tossing a Wham Minnow along the weed lines and caught a Spotted Bay Bass. A regular mentioned the pier kicks out some Bass and Mackerel on a regular basis. He also...

According to their IG page Hook'd Bait and Tackle in Mission Gorge is closing down....

I doubt informed anglers will buy those marked up jigs for 7 bucks. It's unfortunate but these local tackle stores have to compete against big box stores and online monsters like Amazon. I try to support the small local tackle stores. One of the local tackle stores here in San Diego is closing...

Fished here twice in the last week. Not a bite. Had good fresh bait too. Not the most productive Pier but still trying. Has potential to be a good Pier. Talked to some regulars and they also said it's slow overall. One angler mentioned they had a run of big smelt at night.

Nice info Ken, this makes my first black perch.

Winter conditions have made catching slow. Mackerel have been biting during the day but nothing wide open. Went out tonight and it was cold but still a nice clear night. At one point I was the only one fishing. Talked to a few other anglers and most had not caught anything. Caught a decent...

Ended up eating at the restaurant at the end of the pier. Looks like they are cleaning up the pier. Plenty of parking and clean public restrooms....

Not much of a report. Tried for 2 hours for nothing. Just brought one outfit rigged for Bonita. It was Bonita or Bust. Saw a few croakers caught along with smelt. No sardines or chovies. Talked to a few regulars and most mentioned Mackerel bite and queenfish. Noticed they place rod holders...

Just Tried imperial Beach Pier. Nothing here, the weather has been ideal for them to show up, but still no signs.

Hopped on the Alicia from H & M landing. Caught 2 legals lobsters and 6 rock crab. Fun trip hooping and fishing between drops. Caught some Sand bass and a few sting Rays. They provide all the hoops and bait. You just pull up your hoop when it's your turn. Great way to learn lobster hooping.

Nice weather past few days. Fished for a few hours around noon. Caught some Mackerel for some future lobster trips. Saw a few jacksmelt caught by other anglers using sabikis. Not much else biting. During the day they have a deli serving Hotdogs, burgers, sandwiches. They also have a nice lineup...
