Summary: The tides will be mellow for the next two weeks, and with hardly any precipitation on the horizon, the water should clear up nicely.   Get your lures out and try for  the linesided and flat ones.  if luck is kind, the winds won't be awful all the time.

STRIPED BASS:  The good zones, still mostly for bait fishermen, are Rodeo to Point Molate, across the way from China Camp to Loch Lomond, and then back to the East bay along the Berkeley Flats.  Pile worms and cut baits are good for keepers.  It would not be too strange to start throwing poppers on the beaches now, either.

STURGEON:  Wind played a part in keeping anglers off the banks as well as the boats.  But the diamondbacks are still moving from the Bay bridge across the Berkeley flats.  Try Emeryville at low water and Richmond at high water.  Shrimp and herring baits.   Not much going on in San Pablo Bay due to the lack of opportunity.

PERCH:  Get them while you can inside the bays because the closure is in force on April 1.  Not much hope in a last hurrah, as the pogies and pile perch are in scant numbers, scattered along the rocky shoreline.  Walleyes are all over Ferry Point.   Beaches have been deserted due to high winds and unmanageable surf.

MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES:  Little change here. Leopard sharks are making an appearance, most small but some legal guys in the mix.   Bat rays are here too, though not in any appreciable quantity.  You will see both these species all  over the bay.  In the south, especially below Candlestick, jacksmelt and kingfish are around at the tidal changes.   Halibut fishing at Crissy Field is taking a dive due to pile driving and may not recover this season.  Know this now and go elsewhere.  Halibut are getting caught on R-L-Ts in Richmond from the rockwall at Vincent Park, and some on Berkeley Pier with the standard float apparatus.   Flounder are in decent numbers and sizes in San Pablo Bay, either Point Pinole or China Camp.  They love pile worms and grass shrimp.
