Summary:  Out before dawn, done by noon.  Or ride the fast nocturnal tides.  Or face the wind.
 

STRIPED BASS:  The surf is steadier this week and the nights are free of the moon. Good time to throw poppers after sunset or work swimbaits in the morning hours.   Bait offerings are fine on the incoming tide.  In the bays it's still the same old story.  The water is cloudy and you need to get the fish's attention.  Live bullheads are okay in San Pablo Bay, shiners in SF Bay, and cut baits will get tapped anywhere.  The bass are around, just not schooling in great numbers.
 

STURGEON: Fast water at night entices fishermen.   There are sturgeon in the Suisun, Carquinez, Napa River, and San Pablo Bay.  No one spot is any better than the others, but each offers a good chance at a diamondback for the patient angler.  Grass shrimp or pile worms.
 

PERCH: April 1 marks the closure for perch fishing (save for shiners) inside the bays until August 1.  The winds are pretty fair until noon and the early minus tides give you an excellent opportunity to scout out an area and get acquainted with the habitat as the water returns.  Some good fishing prospects for the bait angler (pile worms or mussels) as well as the grubber.   There are a lot of beaches form Monterey to Point Reyes.  Check them out!
 

MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES: See the first sentence in the perch heading; for it applies admirably rockfish.   Get wet and into the habitat during these low tides and pull out some good fish on squid strips. Poke polers  will do best.  Sharks and rays are good in SF Bay in the evening hours.  Halibut are scarce but still getting caught on live baits.  There are jacksmelt at Berkeley Pier and Fort Baker.
