AARON I DONT KNOW ABOUT ANY PIERS TO CATCH SAND BASS BUT I HAVE HAD GOOD SAND BASS FISHING AND SPOTTED BAY BASS FISHING IN AND AROUND THE LONG BEACH MARINA. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE JETTY IS IN SEAL BEACH THAT THE BONITA ARE CAUGHT FROM. THERE IS A RIVER WITH A EDISON PLANT ON IT. THIS RIVER EMPTIES INTO THE OCEAN SOUTH OF THE SEAL BEACH PIER. THERE IS A SHOPPING CENTER THERE AND THE MARINA IS ACROSS THE STREET.

FISHING SMALL PLASTICS OFF THE DOCKS ARE USUALLY GOOD FOR THE SAND BASS. YOU NEED TO GO EARLY TO KEEP FROM GETTING YELLED AT. THE JETTY IS GOOD ON THE MARINA SIDE. THE RIVER SIDE USUALLY IS NOT GOOD FOR THE BASS. WHEN I LIVED IN SOUTHERN CALIF I FISHED THE MARINA AND THIS JETTY QUITE A BIT FOR THE BASS. USE SMALL TAILS AND LIGHT LINE. DRIVING INTO THE BALBOA AREA THERE ARE SOME SMALL BRIDGES. I HAVE DONE OKAY FISHING AROUND THESE AREAS AS WELL. HOPE THIS GIVES YOU SOME IDEAS.
