Malibu Pier - 12/4

#1
Hello everyone,

It's been nearly a year since I've last posted on here. However, I have been lurking the boards as usual - just haven't got around to much pier fishing lately.

I've been working full time, on top of school as a full time student, and got married in May. So this year has been quite full to say the least.

Been doing a lot of offshore charter fishing during the rockfish, yellowtail, and tuna bite down in Orange County.

I highly recommend Long Beach Sportfishing - they are great folks and do not have the tourist/commercial atmosphere at the dock or on any of their boats.

Got to hit up Malibu Pier on Saturday evening, fishing from about 4 pm to 730 pm.

Fishing yielded lots of bait fish, perch, and I did get to mess with a Horn Shark. Picture attached.

With things slowing down - I am hoping to get some more pier time down in the OC and up in LA.

Note: there was some non - fishing drama at the Malibu Pier when a driver somehow lurched his vehicle from his handicap parking space, down the rock face, and onto the beach. Luckily no one was seriously injured and there were plenty of authorities/EMS on site within minutes. I am not sure the entire story, but I am glad that nobody was injured or killed in what was a very dangerous looking accident.

Anyways, cheers and hopefully I'll be getting out on the pier more often.

Regards,

Ian

Great to see you're back fishing and thanks for the report. I need to get back to Malibu to visit the pier and Ginny at Wylie's Bait and Tackle (my favorite store).
