Pacifica Pier Fishing Report 11-10-14

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.

Coyote Point Fishing

I went fishing at coyote point the other day for the first time with my brother. I really didnt know what to expect to catch there so i just threw in a fishing rod with 30# test a 3 oz pyramid weight and a size 4 hook with defosted squid and anchovy on it. Within 30 minutes we had a bite. We could feel it was a big one, so we fought it to make it tired and when we finally landed it we were surprized that we had caught a stingray in the 20-30# range. We caught several more after that. We were in the park, parking fee is 5$ or so. But you can also fish nearby from the parking lots around the area and not have to pay the parking fee. I am sure there are also sharks around that area, but unfortunatly we didnt catch any. THere is also a shooting range by the park. Ive attached links below for the park and the shooting range.
