Summary
Top spots include near the pier's end for mackerel, bonito, and halibut, and mid-pier areas for surf perch and corbina. No boat access is needed. Anglers commonly use Sabiki rigs for mackerel, spoons for bonito, and sand crabs or bloodworms for surf species. Best fishing occurs spring through fall, especially early mornings and evenings. The pier is accessible with nearby tackle shops and cleaning stations. Species vary seasonally, with occasional appearances of sharks and rays. Always check regulations for size and limit updates.

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.
