Summary: Short and simple this week: so-so fishing is the norm in an abnormal situation.  Fall is schizophrenic thus far.

STRIPED BASS: Get some bullheads and soak them in San Pablo Bay in the evening.  Rodeo is the most consistent producer.  Still not  a lot of bass working themselves from the bait in the western shores.

STURGEON: Some movement is going on at the mouths of Montezuma Slough and some catches from the public area in Vallejo.  Waiting for the first rains.
 

PERCH: Big clumps of kelp and sea lettuce make it hard to locate perch, and they have been less enthusiastic in these meek tides.  So it's the same old feels-like-work scenario, bound to change as the tides shake loose this coming weekend.  The surf is too messy right now and all you get is wet and cold.
 
 

MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES: No change, except put a "less so" in front of the following.
Halibut stragglers continue to wander San Pablo Bay.  Salmon are at Rodeo and Crockett in small numbers, better at Dillon Point and the old congested bank at First street in Benicia.  Sharks and rays meander both Bays and the best action, such as it is, occurs in the South Bay from Oyster Point and below, and then in the vicinity of Point Pinole.  Jacksmelt are around in small schools with the larger numbers still due. Kingfish are near the shipping channels and estuaries in Richmond and Oakland.
