I was at the Shun Fat Westminster Superstore Thuận Phát today and saw what appeared to be Barred Surf Perch and Spotted Bay Bass being sold. The fish looked frozen for a long time and were labeled "Product of China". Is it legal for a store to be selling these fish? I have never heard of a...

I'm sorry for the late report, but I was walking down the Huntington Beach Bike Trail and took a stroll down the Huntington Beach Pier to check out the action. I walked over the Pacific Coast Highway bridge over the Bolsa Chica Tidal Inlet Channel at around 4:30 PM, observing an incoming tide...

Immediately after a rainstorm is probably not the most ideal time to go pier fishing, but having just had to cancel a trip because of the storm and hearing recent reports of Bonito from the Venice Pier, I decided to make a trip to Huntington Beach Pier to hopefully see some Bonito action and see...

After more than 10 months of no fishing (and missing the great Mahi-mahi run this past fall and the entirety of the 2022-2023 Spiny Lobster Season), I was finally able to head out to Seal Beach Pier yesterday for the evening. I had originally planned to fish at Huntington Beach Pier, but on my...

Hi everyone, I know it has been a long time since I last posted a report. I've been dealing a lot with some personal events, and I haven't been able to go fishing too often. Just this past Friday, I was finally able to renew my fishing license for another year. Since I had some free time, I...

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I last posted a report. I haven't had a lot of time to go fishing recently. I happened to be in downtown Huntington Beach and took a brief walk down the Huntington Beach Pier to see how the fishing was. I was walking from about 5:30 PM-5:50 PM as the sun...

I've never fished the M Street Dock before, but based on reports I have heard, it sounds very productive. Has anyone ever tried hooping for lobster or crab there? I would like to try sometime this season.

Hi everyone. I'm sorry that this post isn't about pier or shore fishing, but I just thought I'd post this report anyways. After hearing the reports of the wide-open Mahi-mahi and Yellowtail fishing along the coastline, I decided to head out on the Daiwa Pacific out of H&M Landing, San Diego...

I arrived at Seal Beach Pier on an incoming tide at about 6:30 PM, yesterday. The nearby Eisenhower Park appeared to be very crowded, with lots of families and dog-walkers. Anglers in the surf area had some success, with one catching a small Yellowfin Croaker, but they were all using mussels. I...

I'm sorry that this is my third report that has nothing to do with pier fishing, and I'm hoping to do some more pier fishing for the month of August. After looking at some of the fish counts from the 3/4 day boats fishing Catalina Island and hearing reports of Bluefin Tuna and Mahi-Mahi being...

Hi everyone, Took a brief walk down the Huntington Beach Pier this morning at about 8:00 AM. I did not do any fishing today. I saw several anglers in the parking lot heading down to the end of the pier. I saw an incoming tide, which would've been perfect conditions for surf fishing, but nobody...

Went out on a Twilight trip aboard the Freelance from Davey's Locker Sportfishing in Newport Beach. I arrived at the landing at about 6:00 pm, where the Western Pride had just returned from their half-day PM trip with limits of Sculpin. Shortly afterwards, the Freelance had docked at the landing...

I know that this isn't about pier, surf, or jetty fishing, but I feel like this report might still be useful. Unfortinately, I do not have any photographs. Went out on the Fury out of Dana Wharf Sportfishing on an overnight trip to San Clemente Island. We left at about 8:00 PM on Tuesday...

Arrived at Huntington Beach Pier yesterday evening at about 6:30 PM. The tide appeared to be incoming, and the wind was moderately strong. There were lots of anglers in the surf using market shrimp and mussels, but were not successful. I fished at the end on the left side of the former Ruby's...

Hi everyone! I fished near the inlet channel yesterday from about 7:30-9:00 PM during an incoming tide with a double dropper-loop rig containing two size-6 long-shank hooks and live sand crabs with 8 lb mono and a 1 oz torpedo sinker. As I arrived, I met another angler as he was leaving who had...

Hi everyone! I just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Tyler, and I am an avid angler from Southern California, where I regularly fish off of piers, the surf, and party boats. I grew up fishing at Bolsa Chica State Beach, but I eventually learned to fish at the local piers. I fish all of...
