Arrived at 6am and it is high tide 10.9 feet. Got set up with crab rings in the water. There are over 20 people on the shore fishing and they catch 5 by about 7am. Then nothing until about 11:30, I think, when I caught one. It was caught on a Wannafish A Lure Dash Point Special #3. I think there were about 15 fish caught off the dock after that. Low tide was 12:45pm at -1.5 foot and then high tide again at 7:38pm being 12.6 foot. I came home with 2 red rock crabs and the 1 salmon . I had 2 legal sized male dungies but they were soft shell. The new bathrooms are nice but I had to call the parks dept. after 7am to get someone to open them. They were suppose to be open at 6am. That was the only down side of today for me. The pinks are coming but the ratio of fish to people is poor. There were over 100 people fishing.
I met Leonard today who has been reading this web site longer than I have been here and today he JOINED and gave a report.

The time is near :-) Glad to see a li'l more heft to them this go-round. Way to stick it out for the day! Too bad no dungee keepers. It has been another tough year for them off the pier (2nd in a row for me).

They all had a football shape. Not slender like in 2009. I like rock crab so no dungies was ok.

Hey Toni, nice fish! I was down on the beach about the 5th person in from the pier~ figured I'd give it a shot before work but new it would get better as the tide went out. Will be launching at Redondo tomorrow morning at 5am and may motor down there later after the early bite ( I hope!)
