Well done, Red! Funny how that seems to happen. Sometimes you might be the "I've been fishing all day and haven't gotten a bite" guy, and then see a "short timer" arrive who hooks up and lands a fish immediately! And then there days when you're the short timer, last guy to show up to the party...

Just curious if anyone has actually tried this? Came across it while doing some browsing on the internet. I'm not sure what to make of it. Might be a business that sprung up through one of the pier fishing clubs around the Bay Area. I've never heard of "Westcoast Eclectic Pier Fishing". The...

GREAT STORY!!!!

I absolutely agree, 100%. There are very few content creators that will admit how many unsuccessful outings they’ve had between the photos and videos of their catch. Not doing that also creates some very unrealistic expectations. But footwork, scouting and face-to-face conversations with...

The New Reality It's going to take some getting used to for a lot of us older anglers. Things have changed a lot from what we would have called the good old days. Youtube, social media and the growth of local fishing clubs have added a new element to the locations where we fish. It's the "new...

The Fish and Game Commission is again looking into establishing a slot limit for striped bass. A previous proposal suggested a 20-30 inch slot. But it seems that a 18-30 Harvest Slot Limit is being recommended. A Regulation Adoption Hearing is scheduled for Oct. 8th to be followed by the FGC...

Great identification and comparison photos with the striped sea perch.

It was mentioned halibut numbers in So Cal are about 14% of their historic totals and that stocks are somewhat depleted. Would CADFW consider reducing the daily limit to two or three instead of just leaving the five fish limit in place?

A regular at an SF bay pier was able to land this large halibut recently. The fish measured 37 inches and weighed 20+ pounds, and was taken on live smelt. The guy uses a 3-way swivel that has a 30 inch dropper and a 36 inch leader. The long dropper keeps the bait off the bottom and away from...

Nice! Was it bait or lures that did the trick?

Great report! What were you using for bait? And could you describe your set up?

Poacher seized with over 2000 Lbs of Halibut! This story popped up on San Francisco KRON4 News this morning.

Does anyone know if herring have made their way into San Francisco Bay? Considering all the rain, something should be happening soon.

Found some information on a Federal Contractor Website: GOGA 222626 Rehabilitate Torpedo Wharf Phase I, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, San Fransico, California. "This project is Phase I of a larger project that will rehabilitate the deteriorated superstructure (piles, pile caps and...

According to a Park Service employee, the work will focus on resurfacing the pier's deck. Over the decades it's become a mass of cracking and heaving asphalt. And with a project of this kind on a pier with that much wear, tear and age, there's always a chance that they may find other problems...

There was word recently that Torpedo Wharf will be closed for renovation early next year. I emailed the Presidio Trust to see if the rumors were true and to find out if they had a start and completion date for the work. Their reply was that the project is being handled by the National Park...

Does anyone know if Candlestick Point pier (Sunrise Point Fishing Pier) is still open? Did a search on Google. Results mention the pier has been permanently closed! The results may be mistaken. There is a smaller pier in the area that has been closed for some years now.

Well done! That's a great late season catch! I always appreciate your posts. And as always, thanks for providing specific details ( hook type and size, tides and conditions, leader and dropper length....) I do have a few questions though. From looking at some of your previous posts on...
