Short Trip to the Bay Area #4 — South Harbor Marina Pier

[Ken Jones]

The day was beautiful, sunny with no wind, and the sights were excellent except for one—a fishing line with no fish. I didn't even get a bite although I tried two riggings, a high/low and a Carolina rig, and several baits—pileworms, ghost shrimp, anchovies, squid and market shrimp. Da Fish Were Not Bitiing! But the pier and Oracle Park (home of the Giants) is still beautiful.

I want to try this pier one of these days during a game.

That might be interesting but parking might be a problem. I parked for free a couple of blocks away from the ballpark but I don't think the same would happen on game days.

You are correct of course. Close parking spots can be $50 or more on gameday.

I live out in the Avenues and could take the N-Judah streetcar but I would want to pack light. A collapsible rod and a small tackle bag I suppose.

I am sure you would have a lot of people asking questions about the fishing: Can you really fish here? Catching anything? What do you catch here? Are the fish safe to eat? Wish I had brought my rod with me. Etc.
