What size hook and line do you use to hook the live anchovies? I went yesterday for the first time but I think my hooks (size 1) were too big and didn't end up presenting the bait well (I didn't catch anything fly-lining anchovies although I did catch a lizard fish with dehydrated sandworms on...

Based on the map of the prohibited area is seems that Dana Point is ok for now. URL - https://socalspillresponse-com-jtti.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/03185106/Declaration-of-Fisheries-Closure-10.2.2021.pdf

Based on a CDFW press release all take of fish is prohibited from Huntington Beach to Dana Point effective immediately. Here's the URL https://wildlife.ca.gov/News/southern-california-fisheries-closure-implemented-due-to-oil-spill

Thanks here's my report as of 8/28 Saturday - I found that the end of the Cabrillo Mole they have daily "large" item storage spaces where you check in your fishing rods for $7. That combine with the lockers for $1 per access made for a convenient one day trip that allowed me to go sightseeing...

Bummer on the locker storage not being tall enough for fishing rods I think my only option is carrying them around (may have to scale down to just light rods or just even 1 rod) - thanks.

Hi everyone - first time going to Catalina on and day trip with family and wanted to do some sightseeing and fishing tomorrow. Couple questions: 1) Where do you store your fishing rods while on the Catalina Express boat to Catalina? I'm just taking 2 rods (each are 2-piece rods - one 6 1/2...

I was thinking of heading over to Two Harbors for a day and was wondering if fishing is allowed in any nearby pier in that area? Also - We are planning on spending the day at Harbor Sands beach area so if you guys know of any shore fishing areas in that vicinity please let know as it will be...

Sounds like a great trip - what was your remedy for warding off sea sicknesses? I've been wanting to go fishing on a boat but am very sensitive to motion.

I'm planning to go there someday as well. Do you know which parking lot # you parked in (there are many there)? Also do you recall if the parking lot accepts credit cards or is it cash only? Bonus question - is there a restroom nearby to wash my fishing gear (I don't have any outdoor faucets...

Nice job - may I ask where did you get your bait container from to store the sand crabs (I assume it's the white container in your pic)? also do you like your bait container? Thanks in advance!

Hey that sounds like a unique experience that I'd like to try out thanks for the very informative report. A few questions: 1) Do you happen to know when they open the dock and parking for fishing (hope early), 2) will my usual pier fishing rods work? I have 7ft and 6 ft 6 inch rods which the 2...

Wow unusual indeed! Where did you purchase that baitbox hanging off your belt? I've been looking for a good one.

Forgot to ask - are there any laws against digging for lugworms/sand crabs on Santa Monica Beach? I have a fishing license but not sure if this area is a marine protected area...thanks in advance

Thanks for the info - Any success catching lugworms on Santa Monica Beach? If so, what are things to look out for in the sand to dig for them?

Can anyone let me know where I can buy live lugworms in the Santa Monica area? I'm moving there soon and a quick Google search indicated not many bait and tackle shops in the area except for the shop at the end of the SM pier (which I'm not sure if they sell lugworms). Thanks in advance.
