[quote albinotrout]I will be in the Oakland area and there is a pier close to the hotel I will be staying at. I will have a few hours to kill so I was thinking why not give pier fishing a try.
Thanks for the tip. Now I just got decide which days I want to fish at the park.[

another tip, stop by the tackle shop on the pier and chat it up. they can tell you whats working. Also if you hook into something larger, they have a gaff on a rope to bring it up so you dont have to land on beach.

Q. Where and when can I fish in the ocean without a fishing license?
A. Anyone 16 years and older must have a fishing license to take any kind of fish, mollusk, invertebrate or crustacean in California, except for persons angling from a public pier for non-commercial purposes in ocean or bay waters. A public pier is defined in the sport fishing regulations as a publicly owned man-made structure that has the following characteristics: is connected, above the mean high tide, to the main coastline or to the land mass of a named and charted natural island; has unrestricted free access for the general public; and has been built or currently functions for the primary purpose of allowing angling access to ocean waters.
Good luck and have fun man. I lived a little south in fremont and used to fish glass beach. can hookup with leopard sharks and rays down in that area.
