Can anybody else recall this story? Sometime in the ’50s I believe the live bait boat that provided anchovies for Manhattan and Redondo piers went down in a storm with the crew ..

There was a small bait and tackle shop across the street that was awesome, every wall space had Polaroid photos of fish and the owner would let me buy a 1 single beer each visit. lol. I would strap my rod and tackle box ot my Schwinn 10 speed road bicycle and peddle from Torrance before dawn. The sport pier was too crowded when the Bonito were running at the bubble and eventually I found a better spot was the small rock jetty just south of the pier. I would cast -a-bubble feather and also use Rebel broke back minnow floaters for lot of Bonito action from sunrise to about 9am when the 'bones' would stop biting. I did go out on the 'barge' once and had a good time. I use to go out on the City Of Redound sport boat which by the way had been sold awhile back to a northern Cali sport fishing fleet and obviously re-named, but the old trusty little Redondo Special is still operating ....cheers .
