Let's
go fishing now, everybody's learning
how...come on fishing safari with me in
Huntington Beach. Did you know that
fishing is free from California piers?
The
nation's number one sport takes to the waves
as you cast a line and try your luck and
catching something. Bait &
Tackle Shop on the pier rents rods and reels
or you can bring your own.
You can charter a fishing
trip out of Alamitos Bay located off Pacific
Coast Highway near 2nd Street, Long Beach,
or nearby Newport Beach Peninsula near the
Balboa Pavilion at Davy's Locker. But why
not have some fun fishing off the pier?
Locals say the fishing is good. They
recommend taking an extra pole, tool.
Barracuda, (must be at least 28 inches long
to keep), Mackerel and white croakers are
plentiful along the Orange County coast.
Perch, Corbina and Spotfin
croakers are on the menu when fishing with
blood worms, clams or ghost shrimp. For
companionship and fishing stories, your best
bets, by far, are the piers when seeking an
inexpensive outing. You will usually find
someone fishing the Public Dock on Warner
Avenue near the Huntington Harbor Yacht
Club, as well.
1.88. Public Pier. A public pier is a
publicly owned manmade structure that has
the following characteristics: is
connected, above the mean high tide, to the
main coastline or to the landmass of a named
and charted natural island; has unrestricted
free access for the general public; and has
been built or currently functions for the
primary purpose of allowing angling access
to ocean waters.
Additionally, publicly
owned jetties or breakwaters that are
connected to land, as described above, that
have free unrestricted access for the
general public and whose purpose it is to
form the most seaward protective boundary of
an ocean harbor are public piers. Jetties,
breakwaters, promenades, sea walls, moles,
docks, linings, barriers and other
structures that are not the most seaward
protective boundary of an ocean harbor, are
not public piers.
