Typically bait is pretty reliable at the pier, especially in the dark or gray. When the area off blacks beach was open the pier was my go to spot. But around the kelp beds bait can be any where. With a meter you can find bait schools all along the kelp and out from it. With out a meter use your eyes. Bait shows on the surface. And under birds. You can find it. It's absolutely not a secret, over the years one of the most reliable, and convenient, places to make bait is right passed the reserve buoy. Mike
