dtizz,

I am sure if the weather is nice there will be others out that weekend. As for Crab, would say not worth it except some rockcrabs. Buddies have been setting pots and letting them soak in 300-400fow for there dungies. That's 5 plus miles for dungies.

As for perch, that stretch is usually pretty productive for perch. From Cayucos to Morro Bay is loaded with sand and perch.

Rockfishing can be good at times as well. There is a tournament there the following week so I am sure some pre-fishing will be happening. The pier is a launch location and a spot just north called Windmills. Both can produce fish.

If launching from the pier area, just paddle out to the can out there and fish mouse rock and around the point.

Any other questions let us know.

I'd say that covers it. FWIW, I used to do well with rock crab from shore north of the pier using a pyramid style trap. soak the trap while fishing for rockies. Expect grassies and eel poke poling that same rocky area.

Same as anywhere really. 5+ inch swimbait, 2 to 4oz of lead depending on depth. Standard stuff works up and down the state.
Hard to beat a Xmas colored swimbait and a red lead head in the shallows.

If you stop by Schooner's restaurant and swing by the upstairs bar overlooking the pier see if a guy name Torsten is working. He's a good friend of mine and an avid surfer and fisherman. He mostly surfs and fishes farther north, but he'd be good to hit up for swell, wind, and tide info and possibly some fishing intel.
Tell him Coleman sent you.

There is some great kayak fishing to be had in Cayucos. I used to launch just north of the pier and head north for RF or south for halibut. 5" pearl colored big hammer swimbait for RF (usually on a 1.5-2 oz head), or a 4" pearl colored big hammer for halibut (usually on a 1/2 or 3/4 oz head). The halibut hang out in the sand around the edges of the kelp pads. Cast, let it sink, crank crank crank twitch, pause, crank crank crank twitch, pause... SMACK!

X2. I've done well in the same areas, same strategy. One summer as a kid I even caught a king salmon on a kroc lure that wasn't even in the water. Fish grabbed it from the rod tip while I was napping. It broke off the 10lb test, but my buddy & I flipped out.
good times at Cabezone Cove.
