Tips for pier fishing in southern california during fall months?

[Chrissy L]

During the summer my family and I really got into pier fishing. We live in southern california and usually go to the Oceanside pier. Does anyone have tips for pier fishing for fall months? Were not doing as great as we were in the summer, but we can still see tons of fish. What conditions should we look out for? Any tips are great!! Thanks.

yes blood worms are good,
Try these other live baits, goobies, clams (cut them right out of the shell) use a big circle hook, squid (cut into strips 1" by 6"
You should be able to get these at any local bait shop
Good Luck!

For a while i was pier fishing at Newport beach pier.I use anchovies,blood worms seems to work for me regardless of the season.All so you should inquire about length of the fish you catch you can get a citation if the type of fish is under a certain length some times the police will inquire as to what you cought.especially if it is a halobit fish.I seem to catch more at night and use a glow stick it attracts more fish to the light near the hook.I never fished at Oceanside pier as i live closer to newport.
