Summary:  Good strong midday tides are just what the doctor ordered for prime Bay fishing.  And the nights are even stronger.  That and cooler weather ought to bring fish in from the sea with purpose.
 

STRIPED BASS:  If you didn't get a chance to throw floating lures or spoons at the surf, now is your last chance.  Pacifica and beaches to the near south have nice sizes and the tides to match.   In the bays, the best shot is either the Marin side from San Quentin to Loch Lomond or from Point Molate all the way to Crockett.  It is not spectacular but it is worth the effort, and that is a change from recent times.  Live bait at night or baits and lures in the daytime.

STURGEON:  Starting to get some movement in the Suisun and Carquinez but the usual shoreline haunts (Montezuma Slough, Port Costa) are slim pickings at best.  Night is a better time for the dedicated.

PERCH:  The rocks are good for black perch throughout the east Bay on the good old reliable pile worms.  Striped perch are the mainstay at both towers of the Gate and outside on the rock/sand transition beaches, with pile worms and grass shrimp working.   If you want to throw motor oil grubs, the beaches south of Pacifia or up north at Point Reyes are providing barred and redtailed perch.  Get in on the action early, at the very beginning of the incoming tide.
 

MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES:  Salmon are on the march in the bays and Benicia has them.  Rockfish are holding consistently at the typical habitats.  Note: cabezon and greenlings will be off limits the second week of October until whenever they (the DFG people) say it's cool next year.  Quotas are apparently reached.  rays and sharks are in estuaries and lagoons and best at night.   Kingfish and jacksmelt are scattered about the shipping channels and coves, with kingfish best at SF yacht harbor and Richmond's Harbor way, and jacksmelt continuing to roam past Fort Baker and also at Golden Gate Fields.  Anchovy pieces all the way.
