Summary
Anglers favor the pier and nearby shoreline for striped bass, sturgeon, halibut, and jacksmelt. Best fishing occurs spring through fall, especially during tidal changes. Use pile worms, anchovies, sardines, or ghost shrimp for bait. Striped bass hit well on swimbaits and topwater lures. The public pier is easily accessible with free parking nearby. No fishing license is required on the pier itself. Nearby coves and the marina entrance are “hot” for larger stripers during fall runs.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
