Coast Side Fishing Conditions 2/25/2020
Current fishing Conditions on the coast are fair. Relatively big surf is making it difficult to fish many beach locations from Pedro Point to Ocean Beach. However, great weather has improved the chances of finding sheltered areas to fish for perch.
Currently the water is clean with little debris and grass to deal with.
Recommendations: If you have the itch to fish try to find some sheltered areas where the swell can be minimized. Use 2oz Pyramid weights to keep your offering from sweeping left or right with the current. fish the High tide which will help with a defined shore break of about every 8 seconds.
High tide is at 11:22 am which will be optimal for good conditions to fish.
