Hello,

The familiar buildings and noticeable sign high on a pole reminded me of Pierpoint Landing in Long Beach, CA. It was the largest deep sea fishing outlets along the coast and was busy every weekend. Our dad used to go with some of his friends on charters out of Pierpoint Landing.

One of my brother’s and my experiences as little kids, was to go with our dad at 2 a.m. for White Sea B***, Albacore and Blue Fin Tuna all around Catalina Island, from West to East and including the back side.

Pierpoint Landing was located on the Long Beach city harbor and attracted a lot of people. It closed in the 70s and remnants are still around from when it opened in 1948. My dad has already started to go on those charter fishing boats from the time we lived near Lion’s Dragstrip in 1948-53.

The same distinct skyline in both photos… The food was great and a lot of people came on the weekends for their family dinners. The fish dinners were obviously freshly caught from the local boats.
