I was born in '68 ...and as far back so can remember that was one of the main spots we would hit..my dad.. grandpa and uncles....there and at the base of Tule Lake Bridge...both off limits.....not to mention the Harbor Bay bridge will be knocked down once the new one is built ...but I think they stopped people from fishing at the base of those years ago.....
@@MeatyHead1968 I remember staying at places like sea Gun , Beacon cottages and Sea foam motel . Think sea foam is called Bay front now . It's been a couple decades since I was there last probably wouldn't recognize anything now.
In the '80s my dad & I made many visits to this causeway, mostly fishing under the lights at night. We usually fished on the north side, but I caught my biggest speck on the south side one night, about 5 lbs. I don't live near the area anymore so it was a little bit of a shock to discover just recently that it's been demolished. It's a shame they couldn't have found a way to extend its life, but it was a big structure so I'm sure the cost to rebuild it like it was would be unreasonable. I hope another pier(s) can be put on the site someday though.
There is a lot more grass beds than I thought there was out towards the middle of the bridge a lot more dosen’t look more than 3’-5’ deep, Copano int deeper than 8’ I believe at its deepest, might try gigging flounder on a low tide out there sometimes would love to see down the shore line out in water going out to redfish point
Miss that pier, great memories.
Nice, love the drone footage 👍🏻
Sad that it's gone . Spent many a night since the 60s catching trout reds and black drum .
