Fishing Reports

2/18/20 Oyster Point Halibut Fishing Report

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?

Coast Side Fishing Conditions 2/25/2020

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.
