Question

Hi. I live in san diego, near UCSD
i`d like to goto pier for fishing.
but it will be better, i could do at night time also.
and not to far. (like in 10miles?)
anybody has idea?

*reason i like to go to pier, it`s because i don`t need licence for fishing.

thank you.

Answer 1

from ucsd, the piers closest to it that come to mind include the scripps pier, which i dont know if it can be used for fishing, but it's right down the street from ucsd at la jolla shores. if you cant fish there, another close pier that comes to mind is the one in pacific beach, u know, the one with houses on it. haha... if that doesnt work out, a few more miles to the south and you hit the ocean beach pier.

if none of those work out, there are many piers near the downtown area including the marina, which is behind the convention center. or you can try shelter island near point loma, off of harbor drive.

some good south bay piers include imperial beach and there's one off of J street in chula vista but i dont recommend it at all...

Answer 2

Scripps Pier is owned by the Scripps Institute for Oceanography and is locked up and not open for fishing. Top pier for fishing is Ocean Beach Pier..very busy even in the middle of the night. It's fun to fish at the pier on
Shelter Island but not sure I'd want to eat fish caught from the harbor because of waste, contaminents, etc. Oceanside Pier would be another possibility for ocean fishing. Ocean Beach is the best though.

Answer 3

The OB Pier will do nicely.

Answer 4

You can fish at OB Pier but you need a license.
