    I always love looking at vintage pics. It gives a glimpse into how great the fishing was back then lol! btw, there are still some piers in San Francisco that look very much like those newport ones you have here.

    I have great memories of fishing on the Redondo Pier and buying live bait one or two pieces at a time!

    More Than Two Million Fish Caught Off Newport Pier 1924

    ...350 fishermen bringing in an average of twelve fish daily had a total of 4200 fish. On Sundays with an average of 900 fishermen the day’s catch would be 10,800 or for the week 26,000 fish. Figuring four Sundays a month to the month and twenty-six week days the total for the month was 152,4000 and for the twelve months or one year 1,828,800.

    When I was a kid my dad used to launch our boat at Paradise Cove Pier. They had a crane and sling on the pier, also had a small bait barge. Many moons ago, great pictures..........Verne
