You'll find this a bit sad if you've fished this area or stopped by to enjoy the view. Marina Green. On a recent trip to Torpedo Wharf, I came across a flyer posted in the area from residents opposed to the project. Looked up more information about the proposal. Seems like it's a "done deal"...

It seems the CDFW had listened to the concerns of recreational anglers during the Halibut Fishery Webinar that was held in 2021. A fellow board member sent me this link recently. Proposed Emergency Reduction CA Halibut Bag Limit The proposed changes mention all the concerns that were voiced by...

Heard from a fellow fisherman that Muni Pier in San Francisco has been closed to fishing. I took a quick look at the Park Service website for official information. "Municipal Pier is closed until further notice pending post-earthquake inspection". I don't have a lot of hope that it will reopen...

A fellow fisherman spotted these pics on Instagram. It's always nice when you can walk across the street from your place of work and do a little fishing during a lunch break.

The CDFW will be holding a webinar to discuss management of the California halibut population along the coast. On August 12th the discussion will center on the recreational fishery. The information for those that may want to attend can be found in the link below. According to statements on the...

Finally managed a fish. This is the first one of the season for me. It came off one of the piers along the northern part of the City. The fish hit a "candy bar" size live smelt on a slider rig. The bait was just large enough to use a trap hook and the fish hit a little after the mid-morning...

I was sent this photo by a fellow angler recently. Congrats to the young guy that landed the fish. It's taken a lot of persistence to land a halibut from the San Francisco shoreline this season. But take a closer look at the photo. There's something that's a little "odd" about it. It's humorous...

Got this in a CDFW Angler Update. If anyone attends please let us know how it went https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/167239

Does anyone know where ai can get live grass shrimp on the Peninsula side of the Bay?

Has anyone had a chance to fish this pier yet? https://evilleeye.com/in-the-neighborhood/new-sutter-regional-shoreline-park-pier-opens-to-public/

Spoke to a fellow fisherman this afternoon. He had just come from fishing the waterfront at Ferry Building Pier (The locals used to refer to it as BART Pier many years ago). He mentioned that he was approached by a Game Warden who asked how the fishing was coming along, and then kindly asked to...

Quite a few fishermen have decided to stay away from piers during this crisis because of crowds. But the article below indicates that hitting the beach even when there's adequate social distancing could be dangerous. Dr's Warning About Visiting Beaches during Coronavirus Crisis

The story was reported this morning on local news. There will probably be more closures to come as those pier fishermen who are still determined to venture out are funneled to the few piers that remain open, especially those in San Francisco Bay.

The rig described below SHOULD NOT be used when salmon fishing from Pacifica Pier. Using two rods is perfectly legal when fishing for salmon from a public pier inside San Francisco Bay. But when fishing for salmon on an oceanside public pier only ONE rod can be used...

Considering all the reports about crazy numbers of halibut being landed in the Bay coupled with the current limit of three fish per angler per day, do you think that the daily possession limit should be reduced to 2 fish rather than the current 3 fish reg? I’m concerned that the fishery could...

I’m considerring giving salmon try from from Pacifica Pier. But I would like to get a recommendation on a good quality circle hook. I would especially like to hear from the guys that have had success with this type of fishing. Hook size and manufacturer’s model numbers would be apppreciated as...
