Great fishing weather today at Seal Beach pier. Sunny, warm and no wind until about 11:30 a.m.
Fished the incoming high tide. Morning bite consisted of multiple Round Stingrays. Followed by a steady Thornback Ray bite. About 9:30 Jacksmelt bite started up for me. Final catch and release tally - 13 Jacksmelt, 10 Thornback Rays and 5 Round Stingrays.
Most of the fish caught on a high / low setup. Round Stingrays hit on anchovy. Thornbacks hit on shrimp, squid or anchovy. Jacksmelt hit on shrimp and anchovy.
Another fisherman targeting Jacksmelt left with a bucketful. He fished from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. He was using salted mackerel as bait. Some fisherman catching Queenfish near the fish cleaning station.
Overall a nice day on the pier. Good luck everyone.
