Mixed bag this session. Very lucky! Caught and released 4 short Sandbass, 1 Grass rockfish, and a Scorpionfish. All the fish hit cut anchovy on a high/low rig.
Bonus catch were two large Spotfin croakers. One was 16 inches. The other was 18 inches - my personal best. Caught them on mussel with a high/low rig.
Most fishermen on the pier were targeting spotfins. A lot of anglers fishing the surf zone. One fisherman caught two Spotfins. A couple of sharkers at the end of the pier. They caught and released a large Shovelnose Guitarfish.
The beach sand moving project appears to be completed. Beach area is clear of heavy equipment and the large pipe running into the ocean is gone. The large floating barrier in the water, past the end of the pier, is also gone. Water color is still brown. Not the usual blue/green for this area.
Summer crowds on beach, pier and parking lot. Good luck everyone!
