Conditions along the coast are slightly better today than yesterday. Little to no morning wind has helped the shore break. The swell is slightly down a little which can make conditions at high tide. If your not set on fishing today I’d stay home.
Current fishing conditions up and down the coast range from fair to poor. Overall the wind is ranging from 10-15 mph and the has increased to 6.9-7.5 ft thus cause some potentially difficult conditions to fish in.
Forecast for tomorrow calls for similar conditions although the swell is dropping 1-2 feet which could slightly improve the water.
Beautiful fishing conditions along the coast yesterday with little wind and clean water. overall had several good hits and lost an nice perch at the shore break (1 hour of fishing). As expected it was a little frustrating finding soft shells sand crabs this time of year which I feel impacted my hook rate last night. Next trip out I will bring a small kastmaster, prawns, and some grubs to use if I can’t find the soft shells. Lots of fish swarming the crabs but picking the legs off the body.
Up and down the coast the fishing is generally good so go get some perch. Stripers will be hitting on the sand crabs any day now.
Another great day to get out and fish. There has been some sea grass and sea weed moving in along the beaches but not in great enough quantity to shut it down. You may have to move around a little bit depending on where you fish but overall the water is clean. Good structure and clean shore breaks today making for good perch fishing!
All tides are for Pillar Point so adjust your calculation accordingly for the SF Bay.
Decided to do an early season scout on the Halibut in SF Bay. Although it would be great to catch Halibut this time of year the main purpose of out trip was to get improve our fishing techniques and work out the kinks on the new boat before the the halibut move in bigger numbers during March and April.
We launched Oyster Point around 8am at the start of the outgoing tide. Trolled crippled herring with a hoochie and flasher. Moved from Oyster Point to candlestick park between the 12 and 25th along the channel. Had one good fish on but popped soon after I got the rod in hand. Conditions were ideal and although we didn’t land a keeper Halibut there are signs of life. Looking forward to next trip around mid march. Saw some good looking marks on the FF. Sturgeon?? Striper?
Prime fishing conditions today. Little to no wind. Water is clean with no Debris. Clear and Identifiable structures along the shore. Low tide will show sand bar locations holes holding potential fish. Bait boats are currently working close to shore out in front of Linda Mar and Pacifica Pier. Perch fisherman may find an occasionally schoolie striped bass.
Sneak Peak for 02/26/20 Fishing Conditions.
With the Sun setting you can see tomorrow will present some good fishing opportunities along the entire coastline from Halfmoon Bay to Ocean beach. The water is clean with little to no debris to contend with. There is good structure along the shoreline with holes and sandbars to fish up and down the coast.
My recommendation is fish two hours prior to high tide and two hour after. Although if you fish the right hole low tide will expose some nice structure that can hold some perch.
Current fishing Conditions on the coast are fair. Relatively big surf is making it difficult to fish many beach locations from Pedro Point to Ocean Beach. However, great weather has improved the chances of finding sheltered areas to fish for perch.
Currently the water is clean with little debris and grass to deal with.
Recommendations: If you have the itch to fish try to find some sheltered areas where the swell can be minimized. Use 2oz Pyramid weights to keep your offering from sweeping left or right with the current. fish the High tide which will help with a defined shore break of about every 8 seconds.
High tide is at 11:22 am which will be optimal for good conditions to fish.
Fishing condition in pacifica from Pedro point to Muscle rock are good for fishing.
