Will be in San Diego next week, I plan to spend a day throwing a spoon or jig around the jetty! Any recommendations to help me catch a fish appreciated. Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving. 🐠✌️
Bring some plastic swim baits and Texas rig them if you don’t want to snag up. Plan on losing some terminal tackle. Be really careful on those rock jetties, they can be pretty dangerous!

Thank you for the advice! ✌️🐠
Fishing has been decent lately (mackerel, occasional Bonito and calico bass) except for today which had heavy swell (which may or may not be related). The Bonito were caught two weeks ago (the knife is 12 inches long), a smaller one was caught last week. You would not have wanted to fish on a jetty today because of the waves. This pic was taken from the Ocean Beach pier this morning.

No fishing license is required for fishing on the public piers.
Some jetties no license either but read the regulations carefully because some jetties require a license.
If you are fishing on a no license jetty and walk on the beach to bring it in then you’ll need a license because you are considered fishing on the beach.
Piers:
Imperial Beach
Ocean Beach
Shelter Island pier in San Diego bay and farther north Oceanside pier.
You’ll need to pay for parking if you want to park next to the piers, not sure about Ocean Beach.
Shelter Island has free parking I believe.

Of those piers mentioned, they are piers you don’t need a license at, but there is Crystal pier in Pacific beach which is private. You can fish it but you do need a license there. Seen a lot of no license tickets written there by to people who didn’t know different.
