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.

No Softies to be found!

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!

  • Swell Report- 4-5ft every 12-15 seconds
  • Low tide was at 7:32 am
  • High tide will be at 1:29pm
  • Low tide will be at 7:17pm

All tides are for Pillar Point so adjust your calculation accordingly for the SF Bay.

Fishing Reports

2/18/20 Oyster Point Halibut Fishing Report

jgselli

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?
