Today wife and I took my 85 y.o. mother fishing at Huntington Beach Pier. It's been over 5 years since she went pier fishing. Our last recollection of a fishing trip with her was to Oceanside pier.
She caught three smelt today! I caught one Thornback ray and one Round ray. I also caught a very large sand crab. It went after some anchovy!
The spotfin and yellowfin croaker bite was active at the midpoint. Fisherman using fresh mussel. Over a dozen caught between the 3 to 5 pound range for the spotfins.
Interesting note, a DFW biologist was talking to fisherman and noting the types of fish they were catching.
Overall a fun morning with my wife and mother!
