Summary:  Hard to believe it's been three weeks since the last rainy series.  The effects of the wet winter persist with strong murky runoff all the way into San Francisco Bay.  Cool weather is ahead for the week, a hint of summer after a hint of spring.  But are the fish fooled? Yes.
 

STRIPED BASS: Still not anywhere near a Spring Run but some bass are around.   Runoff has pushed river schoolies into SF bay.  You can find them on blood and pile worms from Loch Lomond to Ashby/Frontage Road at the tidal turnaround from the top.  Marina Bay and GG Fields are consistent.  South Bay has them by Oyster Point.   Still a little opaque in most waters for lures, though Berkeley and surrounding have some hope.
 

STURGEON: Best shots are in Alameda and Port Costa on the usual baits, with some luck at Montezuma Slough and China Camp.  Warm weather and steep tides have put the fish on the move.
 

PERCH: Minus tides calmed the action down a bit in the East Bay, but those fishing near the top of the tide with pile worms or grass shrimp will find limits in black and pile perch form the rocks.  White perch are on the piers.  These species are joined by striped perch and the occasional rubberlip at the two towers of the gate.  Outside it's still barred and redtail country, along with striped perch, but these are spawning fish and you should be circumspect.  Enjoy the action with baits and artificial grubs.
 

MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES:  Jacksmelt are still at Berkeley Pier in good numbers.  They are oozing eggs. Halibut are definitely in the South Bay and live bait is the ticket.  Try Oyster Point. South Bay is a good place for sharks and rays now as well.    Rockfish are off the table until May 1.  Then lingcod will be limited to one per day at a minimum size of 30 inches.
