you dont need a license on public piers

[vanillagurilla]

apparently you do not need a licence to fish on any public pier, dock, or jetty.

It has to be an Ocean facing pier or jetty. Not break walls (like L/B) or inner jetties. For sure NOT Docks... Open to public fishing..


2007 California Ocean Fishing Regulations


1.88. Public Pier. A public pier is a publicly owned man-made structure that has the following
characteristics: is connected, above the mean high tide, to the main coastline or to the landmass
of a named and charted natural island; has unrestricted free access for the general public; and
has been built or currently functions for the primary purpose of allowing angling access to ocean
waters.
Additionally, publicly owned jetties or breakwaters that are connected to land, as described
above, that have free unrestricted access for the general public and whose purpose it is to form
the most seaward protective boundary of an ocean harbor are public piers. Jetties, breakwaters,
promenades, sea walls, moles, docks, linings, barriers and other structures that are not the most
seaward protective boundary of an ocean harbor, are not public piers.

Not true....

Read what Nessie put up.

I'd be careful. That pier in Avalon is inside the harbor. If I read the regs right that would not make it an ocean front pier so you may need a license there.
