Long Beach fishing

[steve092]

I usually visit with my Aunt once every few months, and I wanted to ask some questions. By the way, the place I visit is near 2nd street in Belmont Shores.

1&#46; Are there any good places to do saltwater fishing? Within biking distance to <3 miles
I've tried going right off the beach, but not even a sniff&#46;

2&#46; And are there any places to do freshwater fishing near there?
The same, within 3 miles&#46;

Any help would be appreciated&#46;

Thanks man&#46;

those are fine but if u can get 5/8 to 3/4 ounce be better
and get a crank in bait fish pattern like the lucky craft sardine or aurora black

I have a couple of these Storm Anchovies, below&#46;
How about those?
Good?

Yes, the storm anchovy works pretty good, use a slow retrieve, keeping it on the bottom&#46; I would use a scent of some kind with that also&#46; Ive caught a few legals with that bait&#46;

By the way the closest freshwater fishing is Irvine Lake os SARL but not even close to biking distance

I'm no freshwater expert, but can't you fish out of El DOrado park lake ?
It should be right around 4 mi from PCH if you take the bike path up the 605 / San Gabriel River bed

Good call&#46;I met a guy there in a wheelchair that makes his own lures and he says he catches 5-8 lb bass in there&#46;

Long beach <3 miles not Pedro

Just bike down to the beach and fling what you've got&#46; Long casts aren't alway's necessary&#46; You could also jig some smelt and c-rig them for some big butts that like to winter in the area&#46;

[steve092]

Hmm, El Dorado?
I'll have to look into that&#46;
