The San Clemente Pier is very accommodating to fishermen because it features a bait store and sinks to clean your catch of yellowfin and spotfin croakers, “Beans” (California corbina), stingrays and sharks. It is also a perfect place for a mom to spend the day teaching her young son how to surf fish. But keep an eye on your bait or a seagull will snatch it when you turn your back.
