Bait at the Pier

Just do it. Report back.

Why Scripps Pier? I'm curious. Seems night fishing would be better in other directions?

I went there during the last grunion run to fish off Blacks Beach. There was bait on my way there past the pier. Enough not to have to linger. Doesn't mean there will be tomorrow. If I'm organized, I prefer first light so I can see what I'm doing. Looking for halibut near the breakers in the dark appeals to me even less.

Ergo, disregard

PS: Grunion are scheduled to run again starting tomorrow night, Saturday 24th, for 4 nights. Luckycraft 110 on a Carolina rig might pass for a grunion, right?
If that's what you're thinking, it might be worth taking as a backup.
