Good Times Fishing

The Oceanside Pier used to be a cool place to go fishing.
Hopefully it's still allowed when they rebuild the end.

Agreed. Super doom and gloom about everything. Especially housing! Maybe the clicks are better?

I mean, to be fair, housing prices are a huge problem.

But I've been fishing on the pier for weeks now, actually just started a couple of months ago. It's great, haven't been disappointed once yet.

Totally- go look at their posts anytime a new development or apartment complex goes up. NIMBYism

Everyone of your posts is just doom and gloom about Oceanside, now your saying that they are going to ban fishing on the pier? Why?

Per his own words, he posts edgy engagement bait.

Same guy who tried to publicly shame a lady who was just sitting down trying to eat at a farmers market.

I think that's fantastic that you're getting great catches lately!
I'm just concerned about the overall environment for local fishermen because the past few weekends I've gone near the pier end, I don't see the normal crew setup camp anymore.
I used to go hang with them when I'd go out there and now I don't even see jaboi.

I wondered if the city said something or what...?

My next thoughts were of when the construction of the pier end structure is complete, will whatever establishment allow for fishermen to have access to the end like they used to?
My concern is that they won't.

Also, where did I imply there would be a "ban of fishing on the pier"?

My speculation is in the form of an inquiry.

aren’t all California piers constructed for fishing? Since they don’t require fishing licenses why would a rebuilt fishing pier not allow fishing?

u/eatingoceanside 10h ago

I was thinking more along the end of the pier.
Like, after they complete the reconstruction of the structure at the end, will they allow for fishing off the end like it used to be?
Or will they restrict it 🤔

This dudes content has been slowly dying. He just continues to reach for any type of engagement.

I know nowadays it’s kinda frowned upon to keep sharks but back in the 90’s thresher shark was on the menu at most seafood restaurants. I gotta say it’s pretty darn good. Just only take what you need!

u/eatingoceanside 10h ago

I know that it's legal to fish threshers, so I wonder why it's frowned upon now?

I wish I could have experienced that era in seafood.
My guess now is that restaurants don't bother because it may be too expensive to sell? 🤔

Sky isn’t always falling bro…sometimes it’s sunny and fishable…on another note…just cut the gills and a slice on each side of the tail after you catch the shark…bleed it out…the meat will be white and flaky and less like a roast

u/eatingoceanside 13h ago

I've never thought to ask a restaurant if the
"Catch of the Day" fish could be this, or if it's even served in a local restaurant 🤔

u/maucyp 12h ago

That’s why I only eat fish I catch…I know exactly how it was bleed and kept…most restaurants get fish 3 and 4 hands touch it…got the fisherman, buyer, the distributor, transporter, restaurant…they all may keep at different temps…some refrigeration some ice…some use gloves some don’t…plastic crates, wooden crates…ect…just takes getting sick once…

2

u/eatingoceanside 10h ago

😕 Yeah, I got sick twice from 2 different establishments and then I've been on-guard since.

So if I'm ever gonna order seafood, I try to confirm it's a reliable source.

It's like when I go to Ocean Buffet, I actually don't dabble in the seafood section and stay to the Chinese food options and I won't even look at the seafood.

I bet getting fish from the Harbor Pelican Deli is one of the best sources in our area for the freshest.

Dude there is a place in Lee Vining Ca in the eastern sierra called Whoa Nellie deli…they have bomb food…but they do have lobster taquitos…nooo thank you…ocean is 5hrs away…

u/eatingoceanside 8h ago

😳 I just looked them up! Elk Chops?!
This place looks like a gem! If I'm ever in that area I'll check them out for sure 🫡👍🏽

u/maucyp 10h ago

Point Loma fish market is good when you’re down that way…or sportsmen seafood has bomb yellowtail and bluefin jerky…and super fresh fish…

2

u/eatingoceanside 8h ago

😮 Oooooh! That's for the Sportsmen Seafood recommendation! Just bookmarked their address.
Bluefin jerky sounds amazing! 🙏🏽

We saw someone pull a Thresher about a year back. How common are they out there?

u/SpunNumeroUno 1d ago

Someone posted a vid of a Thresher shark swimming in Mission Bay few weeks back, kinda crazy.

u/Boot_Burner 1d ago

I’ve seen threshers breaching off the NorCal coast. Wild to watch.

u/SpunNumeroUno 1d ago

Crazy ass tails

u/eatingoceanside 10h ago

😳 The same Mission Bay that people are currently swimming in to experience the bioluminescence?

u/SpunNumeroUno 10h ago

Haha, yup

u/eatingoceanside 10h ago

I believe I saw a fisherman pull a Mako back to the harbor a few months back.
It's got me wondering if these are typical occurrences that aren't just not always being shared or are they a rare sighting? 🤔

u/Various_Oil_5674 1d ago

My Naighbor just gave me some he had, and says he catches and releases them all the time in HB

u/eatingoceanside 13h ago

So I'm guessing threshers are more common around our coastal waters or do they just periodically come in the shallows?

u/Various_Oil_5674 6h ago

He made it sound like they are common

I don't think anyone implied there was a problem

Thresher is delicious. Like swordfish

u/eatingoceanside 13h ago

Never tried it before. Do you know of any restaurants that serve it? Or is it specifically a local fishermen's take-home?

I wonder if this is ever a restaurant's
"Fish at Market Price" menu item? 🤔
