I went to the pier tonight from about 6 pm to 10 pm. I had not been to the pier in a while and it was nice to see the improvements the city has made to the pier. They fixed all of the lights and replaced them with led's so the length of the pier is no well illuminated. There are also no more of the rusty metal plates on the walkway.
As for the fishing, it seems Dungeness season is off to a slow start. Between my brother and I we did not catch a single crab using 3 fishing poles with snares and one crab cage. There were other people who caught some, but no one had more than 2 or three keepers, however most people did not have any keepers. There was one gentleman there who caught 2 small soles and seemed to have been catching them all day.
Hopefully crabbing will be better next time I go. But it is nice to see that they have made some nice improvements to the pier.
