Fishing is great at the pier in Pismo, CA. You will need a fishing license and a rod. Rods and bait can be had from the fishing shop on the pier. It is fun to watch the fishermen pull in their catches. The birds will try to get the fish before they can be reeled in. There are benches to sit on and the view from the pier is great. If you are in the mood for some clam chowder then the Splash Café is the best clam chowder ever. There is always a line out their front door. Plan to spend time in the area. You wont be disappointed.
