Doublemochaman: YJ... that is a great pier/boardwalk, as well as the one up in Santa Cruz. Are you there right now, or are you reminiscing?
Remembering the day-short beach chair, a good book and a day in the sun with honeys all around. When the sun went down we headed up to Ventura to shark fish off the pier there. 135# test lines with a #7 octopus hook off the end of the pier bent a 7 foot Diawa rod in 1/2 fighting them. Gaffed them to the pier and threw them back. Another beer, please. Those were the days..... :-D
