A Guide to Pier Fishing in California: Top 5 Piers in California

11310683887_p1011503.jpgPier Fishing in California can be a challenging and fun recreational activity for anyone. When thinking about pier fishing, the first thing to be considered is location. Here are the top five pier fishing locations in California.
Belmont: At 1,620 feet in length and in the shape of a T, pier fishing in Long Beach at Belmont Pier is one of the top fishing piers. Concrete rubble was placed on the pilings to act as an artificial reef. Artificial reefs are manmade underwater structures that are used to manage beach erosion, improve surfing conditions, and encourage sea life to dwell in the shallow waters. Some of the most commonly caught fish at Belmont Pier are: corbina, yellowfin croaker, barred surfperch, thornback rays, guitarfish, halibut, sand bass, jacksmelt, white croaker, mackerel, bonito, sargo and herring. No license is required on the pier.
 
Redondo: Redondo Pier is a multifaceted pier great for fishing, and other fun through its various unique shops and restaurants, fresh fish markets and amusement games. Redondo Pier consists of two piers: the first is the Redondo Municipal Pier, renowned for its horseshoe form. Monstad Pier is the second, a smaller pier connected to the municipal pier on the south end and usually reserved for fishing. Both piers allow for fishing in designated areas and no permit is required. Halibut, Pacific mackerel, sardines and the occasional bonito are swimming underfoot.
 
Goleta:  Stretching out 1,450 feet wide, Goleta Pier is a great place for fishermen of any level to enjoy a day out. Goleta Pier has a pipeline that runs parallel to the pier, which acts as an artificial reef. This pier offers opportunities to catch quality fish such as guitarfish, perch halibut, corbina, bass and rockfish not to mention the occasional bonito or barracuda.
 
Port San Luis Pier:  Port San Luis Pier, also known as Harford Pier, extends 1,320 feet into the water. One of the finest features of this pier is its unique roof. In fact, Harford Pier is the only pier in the state to sport this luxury, making it one of the best places for pier fishing in CA especially during windy days and rainy seasons. The most common fish found at Harford Pier are: white croaker, jacksmelt, Pacific mackerel, jack mackerel, flatfish, occasional perch and rockfish.
 
Imperial Beach Pier: Minutes away from the Mexican border, Imperial Beach Pier is the southernmost pier in California. This pier stretches out 1,491 feet into the Pacific Ocean and has a picturesque view of the Los Coronados Islands. Many species of fish are immersed in this area due to the mussel covered manmade reefs and pilings of the pier. Depending where you fish on the pier you may catch yellowfin, croaker, jacksmelt, perch, herring, corbina, thornbacks, stingrays, guitarfish, queenfish, walleye surfperch, bonito, mackerel, halibut and seabass. The best fishing spots at this pier are right by the surf line and mid-way out on the pier.
 
Remember: location, location, location when planning your next pier fishing trip. While any old pier will have swimming meals a cast away, these five fishing piers offer the ultimate experience for California pier fishing.

    Earn up to $3500/month just by taking simple surveys online!

    I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that
    say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out
    some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day….. YEAH RIGHT, I didn’t make anything.

    I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling
    out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever then at
    the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn’t complete the
    survey.

    These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn’t believe they
    were even allowed to sell such bogus products.

    Then about 2 weeks ago I was watching the news and they had some
    vice presidents and marketing managers of some major multi million
    dollar companies talking about a site that they personally work
    with to pay consumers for their opinion, A site that actually just
    wants the “average Joe’s” honest opinion on products and services
    and is willing to pay big money to get them. for more information
