Fishing from Rocks at night? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Anthony179 · 05-18-2012, 12:00 PM

Some friends want to go fishing from the rocks or piers at night. Thinking of going to Dana Point, Long Beach, or cabrillo. Want to target halibut or anything else that will take the bait. Just want to make sure we can fish their at night without getting busted for trespassing. any other places you guys recommend will be appreciated. Thanks

rocks should have signs that say when they are closed. its normally closed 10pm-1 hour before sunrise.

i hit that pier a long time ago. caught lots of good tasting guitar fish , and some rays.

. you should be able to look online and see hours of operation from website , if pier fishing is what you are interested in. goodluck.

www.pierfishing.com will give you a list of operational hours for just about any pier in california plus updated monthly reports for all piers. As far as jetties go, i dont believe your "allowed" to fish the DP breakwalls at night. Regular patrol by the sheriffs boat could make for a sketchy time if you fish the inside...
