Fishing Forum

I just wanted to let people hear what I have to say about my time at redondo and see if anyone agrees or disagrees.

So i went there a while ago while it was still lobster season. And I decided i was going to bring a few hoops and a couple poles. I showed up at around 5:30pm and realized I was not going to fish on the good side of the pier.

There were so many fisherman there that they were standing elbow to elbow. I personally like to have a little room and be comfortable. So i had no where to throw my nets and so i just fished the bad part of the pier. I only caught one mackerel and that's it.

I want to know if i am the only one that has had that experience?

Redondo Pier can get crowded at times. Weekends are no exception. Hoop nets can be dropped withing the area adjacent to the little restaurants in the triangle shaped opening.

I have been there many times when the Pier is elbow to elbow. All you will do is tangle lines whether it is your fault or not.

When that happens, I prefer to pack it up and leave for another Pier. Manhattan Pier is not too far north of there and usually has more fishing space without the limited area that Redondo has.

You can catch many of the same species with the added advantage of getting some nice Barred Surf Perch there. Fresh Clams, or Gulp Camo Sand worms are very good for that.[cool]
