Ken Jones truly is one of California's greatest advocates for the incredible fishing opportunities that are available to everyone willing to take up pier fishing. He goes indepth into the various historical backgrounds of some of these man-made structures as well as the ecological differences that can be found from one spot to the next. Each pier has it's own personal quirks, with some being known for their natural beauty, while others would best have their warts glossed over in favor of the incredible possibilities they offer to the willing angler. Ken talks about all of it, and gives you valuable local knowledge to get you one step closer to success. Even though this edition is nearly 16 years old as of this review, I'm certain that Jones could have released this yesterday and that most of the information would be just as relevant. Hopefully, it will useful to you. Whether you're a first timer, a seasoned expert, or someone who just wants to learn more about your local wharf, Ken Jones has something to teach you! Happy fishing :)Read full review

This book is nothing but informative from the first to last pages... Just flipping threw the book I noticed some of my own local piers, on the San Pablo bay. Around the bay's inlet waters.. and up to Rio Vista, California. Reads for bait use placement on pier little on tides. But each pier even those that are lost to us for one reason or another are also in print very well done. Which lines poles an so on.... Wish this book was with me years ago I'd be fishing each one at least once... For those salty fellows Happy fishing... aka Wolf
