Hey guys. I'm new to the forum. I will be down on family vacation next week and was one of the 10 to get a permit for the 26th. Looking forward to hearing how it goes tonight and welcome any helpful advice for planning my fishing trip next week. All the pier rules apply and I have already confirmed that means I will be limited to a 4000 series reel. I know they love Spanish and King Mackerel. Really concerned about a release pole. I've never seen one in use on the pier, and wonder why the Department of Fish and Game would not be providing that tool since they will be making the call if it a legal fish and if it can be landed.
