Saturday marked the unofficial start of the Halibut season in San Francisco Bay. With an average of 1 keeper halibut per rod charters and private boaters are excited about the season to come. The South Bay on Saturday was the hot spot with fish from the bird cage to Candlestick Point. Trolling herring behind a dodger seems to work best bet right now. Sunday slowed quite a bit with the pressure changing and Saturdays rain. The tidal coefficient is high for the next few days which can also impact catch rates of halibut.
Striped Bass are also around but tend to be on the schoolie size or smaller. Find bait and there is a good chance a school of striped bass are hanging around. bucktail jigs will always produce along and many are being caught trolling for Halibut.
