Summary:  This morning came in on the lowest tide of the year and the winds were already pounding in the bays and sea.  Says it all.
 

STRIPED BASS:  San Pablo Bay is the closest shot, and only so-so.  You need high water and low winds, which pretty much pushes the fishing into the darker hours.  Live baits are always best, but the water is so murky that the scent of cut bait might be a help.  Lures are tough from shore this week.  San fRancisco Bay is just funky until you get to the gate, where the  Fort Point rocks might work for hair raisers at the start of the daytime outgoing tide.   The surf has been misbehaving by day and the moon-washed nights are not going to aid fishing there
 

STURGEON:  Excellent fishing going on for boaters who brave the winds and hang tight at the Mothball Fleet.   Shoreliners ought to find some good diamondbacks at Montezuma Slough, Martinez and Port Costa.  Eckley Pier is not producing, though.
 

PERCH: April 1 marks the closure for perch fishing (save for shiners) inside the bays until August 1.  Not too great on the surf because it so nasty lately.   Monterey Bay is the only sandy area where good grubbing and lighter winds are found.
 

MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES: Sharks and rays in the evening hours.  Halibut are hard to find, to put it mildly.
