San Francisco Bay - Live Bait Fishing

[NIGHTHAWK]

Good Morning All,

Picked up Live Bait near famous Pier 39. Heading out for Striped Bass that are running and biting good lately. I’ll update if we have any luck or as the day progresses. With good friends and Union brothers Dave and John! Future Safari hunters too… With a little encouragement!

Wish us luck.

Good guide you can recommend? Wife and I will be out there in the next two weeks, doing a Pacific Coast Hwy drive from San Diego to Seattle. Never hurts to work in a little fishing

Thanks!

Excellent thank you for sharing! Looks like lots of fun

I really need to get down there and do some sea duck hunting in the Bay

Schools of Stripers coming through… Hooked up and landed some smaller keepers. Mostly catch and release.

California Halibut are much smaller than their Pacific Halibut cousins. Rarely see them over 40lbs. I’ve caught a couple over 40, biggest was 42lbs. We have 2-3 today that are 15lbs +/-.

They are very delicate and delicious!

Good day to be on the water with old friends!
