Moore Road Pier

We drove through the thick fog in September. Even though we arrived early, it was so foggy off the pier and there were already people fishing/crabbing. We still were able to get a spot big enough with four crab nets. Only downfall, there were too many seagulls so we had to be careful and protect our bait. We threw our crab nets down the pier and waited. There was one incident with one seal that took our bait from one of the crab nets. I would advise to put the bait in a small cage. After 30 minutes, we caught a whole bunch of rock and dungeness crabs. Since it was not dungeness crab season, we toss them back in the ocean. If you are a pro or a beginner in crabbing, Moore Road Pier is a great spot! It was a fun experience and I can't wait til dungeness crab season begin.

On this pier which is located in Marin County, California, you'll see the Golden Gate Bridge, Presidio, downtown San Francisco, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, and Treasure Island.Now you don't need a fishing license if your fishing or crabbing off the pier. As soon as you step off the pier then you'll need a license. You just need to check the limits : how many and which fish/crabs are allowed to be taken. We live less than an hour from this pier so we are blessed to come here as often as we would like. Tourists from all over the world stopped to see what we were trying to catch and what we actually caught. Many of them did not understand what we were saying but we smiled at each other and I'm sure they will always remember how people crabbed and fished off this pier.You'll also see seals here. One naughty seal kept stealing all of our crab bait. We were glad the seal came around when we were about to leave anyways.

every local and tourist should visit this pier.. It's a simple visit and there's plenty of parking. Go out on the pier and take some pictures. You can't get too many better pictures of the Golden gate Bridge. Bay area around Fort Baker is also amazing. Have a look at the Coast Guard boats.

Went today and a damn Sea Lion ripped my crab net and stole my bait (salmon head and chicken thighs)!

This is the place that we visit for Crabbing. Spent about 3hours out there and ended the evening with 20 or so eatable crabs. Dungeonous must be thrown back here.

I absolutely love fishing their crabbing is amazing and the people are so friendly and kind

wow this place is amazing! they have a dock where you can do your fishing or just go there to breathe and scream and rant at the water to loose some stress out. i was there with my friends to take some photos. very nice background of the golden gate bridge. also on the other end there is the view of san francisco floating on an island. its amazing breathless view like a poster card view. i came here when the sun was going down but i bet its even nicer in the dark. anyways i had a blast here and will be back for sure.
