newport beach pier Fishing Report

finally had a nice day at the pier! partly cloudy but warm, caught some big bonito today. used a quick retrieve with a gold spoon and they were hitting hard! felt great to finally have some luck, can't wait to go back!

man, today was a rollercoaster! a little rain but still hit the pier. caught a couple of little rockfish but it was mostly just chillin with friends. good times, even if the fish weren’t biting hard.

back at it again on the pier, cloudy and a little windy but nothing too serious. i tried out some new bait, squid, and BOOM! 4 nice calicos in no time. even got into a little tussle with a seal trying to steal my catch! got some crazy pics too.

partly cloudy and a bit warm today, perfect day for a fishing trip! we got out on the pier at sunrise, caught a bunch of sand bass! i used my favorite 7' medium rod with a light jig and it was on fire. just loved the energy out there with my buddies.

fished in the mist again today. got skunked for a bit but then landed a decent size mackerel! it was a struggle getting bites, but when i switched to a silver lure it was on! man, that made the trip worth it. cloudy days can still bring the heat!
