Welcome to Balboa Pier Fish. Hi, I'm Art, a seasoned fisherman with over thirty years experience fishing, and catching fish, from the Balboa Pier and the Newport Pier.

I created this website with the goal of sharing my knowledge and expertise with those who are new to pier fishing.

At BALBOA PIER FISH, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy and excitement of pier fishing.

That is why I have put together detailed information on the various fish species found at these piers, including their preferred habitats, feeding patterns, and the best bait to use. I also have a "how-to" Catch and Release tutorial, to ensure that you can enjoy the thrill of fishing while minimizing harm to the fish.

I also offer gear and tackle rentals, so you can try pier fishing without investing in your own equipment. I rent only high-quality gear, allowing you to enjoy a hassle-free fishing experience at either Balboa Pier or the Newport Pier.

In case you prefer a more personalized fishing experience, I also offer my knowledge as your private pier guide. I will accompany you on your fishing trip, providing expert advice, sharing insider tips, and ensuring that you have an unforgettable time pier fishing. Pier guided fishing is available at the Balboa Pier.

Get ready to cast your line, reel in the excitement, and create unforgettable memories pier fishing.

Gratefully,

Art Chmielewski
