Stopped by the small Pillar Point Pier at Pillar Point Harbor last Thursday. I planned to fish for a few hours but the million or maybe billion kelp flies made that impossible. Why so many flies? Hard to say but I've seen it at several other piers where there were a lot of pelicans and the end of the rocks near the pier were covered with pelicans and all their (literal) crap. Fishing was slow. One hour fishing produced 1 grass rockfish, 1 blackperch, 1 shinerperch and 6 bullheads (staghorn sculpin). Not exactly a great visit.

The area between the pier and rocks is the area for perch and rockfish
