I was there yesterday for almost 3 hours. I was hoping to get some cat fish bait for tonight fishing but got none. Almost got skunk if you don't count a little crab.
Wind was howling and big waves.
Only a few people got 1 or 2 macs.
A lot of sardines in the water before sunset. A few bonita got landed (small size) before sunset. That was it for the whole pier.
There were some snaggers at beginning of the pier. They got 4-5 big (30" +) corbinas and one lemon shark. Obviously, they were not scare or looking out for DFG because everyone can see what they are doing.

They have nothing to worry about since they aren't breaking the law.... I don't like seeing that so I tend to stay away from piers.....

The snaggers probably weren't looking for the DFG because it's not illegal, but many of us wish it was.

Were there a lot of crabs around? Newport Pier can be a great place to hoopnet for Rock Crab.
