Summary:  Minus tides in the morning, bitter winds by Noon.  Ain't it great?  May has been a cold month and it shows.   So fish accordingly, deeply and with mobility.  There are lots of fish in the Bay.  All you need to do is find them.

STRIPED BASS:  Berkeley Pier is the place to be and live bait is the way to go.  Schoolies between 3-8 pounds are common as the tide comes up and then turns.
 

STURGEON: Nah.
 

PERCH: April 1 marks the closure for perch fishing (save for shiners) inside the bays until August 1.  Same old same old. Waves are still a bit rough along the coast, but the dedicated grubber van find some redtail and barred, just not in huge numbers or sizes.  Baits will and striped and walleyed perch to the mix.
 

MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES:  NO change except it's a bit harder to fish on the low tides.  If the shiner spawn at Berkeley Pier is a harbinger, then the halibut are going to be there in good numbers soon.  A week, two?  Tides and winds suck but a heat wave will perform magic.  Get acclimated now and be ready for the run.  Sharks and rays are abundant at night all along the shore form Richmond to Emeryville.  Almost any bait will interest them.  Jacksmelt are at Fort Baker and Berkeley.  Float rigs with pile worms.  Rockfish and eels are available to those who work for them.
