I would say he has that pier dialed in!

I love fishing there, just too far of a drive for me.

I've been there once. It's a nice easy access place to go. I'll bring my son next time, it's way safer than Half Moon Bay jetty. Nice catches.

Looks like Ted is the man at that location. Nice variety of fish!

There are several excellent anglers at that pier, i.e., MBay (Ryan), Pinoy and Jesse, and all put in the time to eventually catch some nice fish. The other day was slow for both Ted and myself but you could tell he knew the pier and was prepared for whatever came along. It's almost always the "regulars" who understand the demands of their pier that catch the most fish at their piers.

I mentioned some of the other successful anglers at the Coat Guard Pier. Herein several of their fish.

Missionbay? I think Ryan’s username was Mbay...back when he used to post.

Thanks! I think you're right. I went back and looked at the pics and most are marked MBay although a couple say MissionBay. I think that must have been a mistake on my part. I always wondered about the MissionBay label. MBay (for Monterey Bay) makes a lot more sense. I'll change it.
