THE
WEEKLY SHORELINER'S REPORT
http://www.songslinger.net/fishing.html
Summary:
After Saturday we will get a four-day break from the minus tides.
Will it be enough to clear up the water? Big "Maybe."
The wise angler will seek fish in 10 feet of water or more in the bays
during the day and target sturgeon at night.
STRIPED
BASS: Stripers are spread out all over the bays, with the best prospects
remaining in Marin from China camp to San Quentin, and then from Richmond
to Emeryville. Berkeley Pier is still seeing several big fish per
day on live offerings. Try Fort Point In San Francisco on hair raisers.
If you like fast currents for some reason, try live bullheads from Martinez
to Point Pinole. Night time is still the right time for surf enthusiasts
using bait and lures from Ocean Beach down to Pacifica.
STURGEON:
No change. San Pablo bay at night is where you want to be, from Pinole
on to Rodeo with shrimp baits or pile worms.
PERCH:
The
theater is dark in the bays until August.
Striped perch lead the fare where the beaches meet the rocks from Pillar
Point all the way up to Point Reyes. Pile worms.
MISCELLANEOUS
SPECIES: Halibut are still around at Berkeley Pier though somewhat
scarce, possibly due to low murky water during the daytime. Oyster
Point through Candlestick has been more productive, with Alameda
Rockwall fair enough for an alternative. Live baits all the way.
Lots of baby smoothhounds around the bays. Bat Rays are more in the
South Bay. So are jacksmelt.
