SALTWATER REPORTS
BERKELEY
Fishing Great, Crowds Light…
BERKELEY - Fishing both inside and outside
San Francisco Bay is outstanding, but angler
interest is very low. So low in fact that trips have
been infrequent for some charter boats.
Halibut and striper fishing inside S.F. Bay is
very productive. On smaller tide days the halibut
bite excels, when the tides ramp up so does the
striper action. The north and central bay has been
the best area of late.
Outside the Golden Gate, rockfish and lingcod
action has been very good, along the coast, at
Point Reyes and the Farallon Islands. The big
challenge has been the weather. There has been
a lot of wind and rough conditions recently and
that has made fishing beyond the Golden Gate
difficult over the past two weeks.
Salmon scores have been up and down for
Golden Gate trollers, ranging anywhere from a
half fish per rod to one fish per rod. The good
news is that the kings being caught are big
beautiful fish that range up to 32 pounds.
Rigged bait and patience is what it takes to get a
fall king. The New Easy Rider rounded up 8 kings
to 22 pounds for their 7 anglers on their most
recent October outing.

Dungeness crab opener
(Bodega Bay) The
salmon have been scarce,
but there is plenty of other
species in the ocean off of
Bodega Bay to keep local
party and private boats
happy as the albacore
have shown far offshore
