Fishing Alameda

Monterey, Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay and San Francisco Bay: deep cold water, kelp beds and a huge estuary.

What's biting now (Fall): Halibut and rockfish; calico bass in the south. Some salmon and striped bass in San Francisco Bay.

Commonly caught in this area: Striped bass, halibut, rockfish, lingcod, surfperch and sturgeon in the bay.

Also caught here: leopard shark, white sturgeon, cabezon, striped bass.

Shallow flats fish best on a rising tide that pushes fish up to feed. Move slowly, wear polarized glasses and look for tailing fish or nervous water. Cast ahead of fish, not on top of them.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
