Summary:  Lots of weeds in the bays and the sea.  Warmer temperatures and slow tides are not helping the situation.
 

STRIPED BASS: The stripers returning from the ocean are not traveling too far. No doubt the sluggish tides and balmy weather have a part.  Expect the annual stacking up of bass in San Pablo Bay this week.  San Quentin Point remain the top prospect for lure chuckers, with white hair raisers and blue chrome Rat-L-Traps leading the way at either the cliff area or the Spoon.  But the schoolies are moving around that cove and the action is a matter of being there at the right time more than at the right tide.   Elsewhere there are scattered shots at the bass in South Bay below Candlestick and then some murmurs in Point Pinole, Benicia and Martinez.  Baits include cut anchovies or live offerings.

STURGEON:  No change. Port Costa is the best shot you'll have this week.  They are there.

PERCH:  Weeds in the sea are making for some tough fishing.  You'll find the perch but they will be gift wrapped in kelp and grass packages.  The East Bay has some fine black perch on the incoming with pile worms as the top bait.  Be mobile.
 

MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES:  Slow times right now and little change.  Halibut are at Oyster Point on live shiners.  Sharks and rays are around but not doing much except in the evening hours.   Kingfish are available at John Sheridan Point in Richmond.  Jacksmelt are scattered from the Gate across to the Berkeley Flats.   Salmon fishing is intermittent.
