Report from Pierfishing.com:
Arrived at PV around 11am with a friend. As I was getting my gear out of the car, a police officer stopped by and asked to see my fishing license. I told him I thought only DFG wardens checked for it, but he said police had jurisdiction in this area, too. That, and he was checking for poachers, he said. So I showed him my license, he checked it out, then thanked us for our time. Strange thing is that he didn't ask my buddy for his license.
My buddy thought this was weird and brought up the topic of racial profiling... You see, as the officer came near, I was the only one at the car while my buddy was off looking over the cliffs. I was in my ghetto fishing outfit so maybe that made me look like an Asian immigrant or something. As I was searching for my license, that's when my buddy (who's a white guy) walked up and joined us. The officer didn't say a word to him even though he stood right next to us. It's not like the officer was nasty or anything, but something just didn't seem right about it.
Anyway, onto the skunk... My friend and I fished at PV today from around 11am to 3pm. We fished 4-5" swimbaits with squid strips. Felt a few bites, but we weren't able to land any fish. Waves were quite large as they crashed into the rocks. So we put the rods down and decided to explore the area a bit...
I hope to get back out there on Sunday with my newly purchased float tube!
