Belmont Sandbass?

[VanillaThunder]

I know a person who said that you can catch sand bass and even sculpin from the belmont peir and docks. Can anyone verify if this is true and if so what works best to catch them. Thanks for any info.

VanillaThunder, you can catch sandbass at the pier. Click this link for some help:

I read it, and found part of the info that you are looking for:
Out near the end, close to the bait shop, is sometimes a good area for bass (both sand bass and kelp bass) as well as perch. Most of the bass seem to hit on anchovies, squid or lures. Anglers fishing down around the mussel-covered pilings with mussels (surprise) are sometimes rewarded with good sized buttermouth perch (blackperch), rubberlip perch or pileperch. Some years also see good runs of sargo (generally May to July). The scrappy grunts, up to about three pounds in weight, love fresh mussels, get positively giddy over live ghost shrimp, and seem to hit best on the bottom near the pilings in the early evening or night hours

You are able to catch bass, sometimes and sculpin rarely. If you are looking for a wide open bite it’s probably not the place to go. One thing that bites pretty descent there is perch.

If you float tube or kayak of the beach next to Belmont pier the halibut fishing is pretty good and the small sand bass bite in the summer.
