Huntington Beach Pier 01/20/20

Got a late start at 9am this morning and was greeted with an outgoing tide. Bought a pack of lug worms which caught all but one 6 inch corbina. No other surf fish being pulled besides jack smelt.

Proceeded to the end where mom caught 5 baby sized spotted bay bass on market shrimp no less. Saw 1 small mack, 2 pile perch, 1 yellowfin croaker and a few more smelt. Finished the day with a 15 inch halibut on a hookup bait before the wind blew us out around 12:30.

P.S, any of you guys/gals fish the Haynes Cooling Channel? It's off PCH as you head towards Long Beach running parallel to the San Gabriel River. I always see baitfish there but never any predators being caught.
