My Pops used to take me fishing about 10-15 years ago. And we would often go to what he called "Redondo Pier". But every time I look up Redondo Pier online, I would find the Triangle shaped pier. And that is on the pier my dad used to take me to.
I specifically remember it being concrete, extremely long, and tall. (The long and tall part might not be true anymore since I was probably 12 or so when I last fished on this pier) I also remember there being a food stand at the end of the pier and we would often order french fries from it.
Anyhow, I figured my dad probably wasnt too far off when he said Redondo. So I hopped on Google maps and scoured up and down the coast for any other piers. I found the Hermosa Beach Pier. I zoomed in as close as I could and sure enough it is concrete. But I did not notice the outline of a building/food stand at the end of the pier. I hit Google Images to see if I could find pictures of the pier. The more pictures I see, the more and more I'm starting to think this is the pier my dad used to take me to. But still I don't see a building at the end of the pier.
1) Does anyone know if there used to be a building at the end of the pier and it was demolished?
2) If there was never a building at the end of the bridge, does anyone know what pier I might be talking about?
3) If this is the pier i used to fish, is the fishing pretty decent now a days? I remember we used to catch Bonito and mackeral at this pier all the time.
