Halibut are here

As you can see from the pictures, halibut are starting to show up in the bay, with the arrival of live bait the action should improve in the next few weeks. The shark action has improved as well, with a few 7 gill sharks moving into the south bay getting ready to start puping.

sharks

SHARKS

Hi, we have had great weather for the last 3 trips, no wind just sun and flat calm conditions, i fished the north bay on saturday with a group of 3 from san francisco, as you can see we had a good day, nice leopard sharks.
Today sunday i had a group of 4 from IDIHO, the intention was to get a sturgeon so we started at rat rock with the early push of outgoing tide, straight off the bat we had a take down but failed to connect, we were rewarded after 2 hours with a 44 inch shaker sturgeon, we ended the day with 3 leopard sharks,
I will be back on the water tomorrow 3/5/12 with a group that want to catch leopard sharks, i think i will go to the south bay and see if the fish will coperate. I have room this week just give me a call.

1/10/12 NORTH BAY

HI
I had a group of two from Austraila yesterday who wanted to fish sturgeon so we went to sonoma creek area back to my favorite spot, We had incoming tide all morning so we started using roe which is what we had sturgeon take the last 3 trips. After about 2 hours we had a take down but it came unbuttoned due to a bad hook set. Just before slack we had another pumper which we missed, we did end up with a big leopard shark which shows just how much salt content is in the water, this time of year there should be no sharks that far up in the system, we need RAIN and lots of it, also CRABS,CRABS AND MORE CRABS. Eight legged bait stealing freeks that shoud be washed out to the ocean by now.
Thats all for now

SOUTH BAY 1/6/12

HI
I had a half day trip today wit two people from minisota, i decided to go to hunters point because i thought that the herring should be showing up soon.
I set up just outside the last pier in 50ft of water, after about 30 minutes we hooked into a big fish, 20 minutes later we had it at the boat but couldnt get it off the bottom,we never saw the fish but it was very big as we couldnt move it.
Here is the picture of SHAWN fighting the beast, i am going back there on sunday with a group of FRENCH fisherman to see if we can get it to swollow more herring. STAY TUNED.
