Torpedo Wharf Fishing

Fort Point National Historic Site

Fishing at Torpedo Wharf near Fort Point and Crissy Field.

A short walk from Fort Point is Torpedo Wharf, a public fishing pier. The pier is the original site where ships loaded underwater mines, then called "torpedoes," before transporting and planting them outside the Golden Gate in the 1890s. This pier sits at the mouth of the Golden Gate. Because of its location, fishermen and fisherladies may encounter any species that enters the bay. It's a great spot for fishing and crabbing.
