Hey all, I'm new to this forum, I normally post on the Fly Fishing board.
I have a couple of questions about pier fishing along the central coast in CA. Mainly I really just want to know where is good this time of year. I'm thinking of heading out the 1st weekend in August. The wife will be visiting her sister so I'll be able to steal away for a day ro two.
And the second thing is regarding gear. I have a med. wt. rod that I use for salmon fishing in the river, how will that be for pier fishing? Also, what's the night bite like? I've heard you can land some leopard shark off of piers sometimes at night, true?
Really I just want to spend a couple of days in the sun doing what I love. But catching something I can throw on a grill would be an added bonus. I normally stick to fly fishing in the high sierra's and haven't really ocean fished since I was a kid. So any help would be great.
Thanks! [
