THE
WEEKLY SHORELINER'S REPORT
http://www.songslinger.net/fishing.html
Summary:
Sluggish tides by day are making for some predictable angling results.
Best time is at sunrise, when there is water, little wind, and active fish.
Lure enthusiasts take note!
STRIPED BASS: Things are so unremarkable that acceptable bait shop spin has been stretched to mendacious degrees. Best shot is morning along the Marin shoreline from San Quentin to China camp and then from Point Pinole to Crockett. It's not great but it is something. Lure like Rat-L-Traps and hair raisers would be the way to go for schoolies in the just-legal range.
STURGEON: Montezuma Slough has them. So does Carquinez Strait. But aside from some luck in the deeper holes there is little to start a fury of diamondback angling activity.
PERCH:
About the same as last week with slow fishing in the bay and weedy roughish
waves in the sea. Best idea would be to use bait in the rocky zones.
MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES: Kingfish at San Francisco Yacht Harbor, jacksmelt from the cliffs at Fort Baker. Rays and sharks in the shadowy depths near the Gate or in shipping channels. Salmon have shot right through to Rio vista, though some have tarried at Benicia and still others are rumored to be meandering between Paradise and San Quentin. Slow pickings right now, though. Halibut are holding deep in the Bay though most have moved on. Possibilities for the flatfish last-hurrah will be Chavez Park, San Quentin, Oyster Point, Crissy Field, or the beaches adjacent Point Lobos and Point Bonita.
