Northern CA Saltwater Fishing Report
Golden Gate rockfish, lingcod easy, salmon fishing was limited by weather
BY CAPT. DAVID BACON/WON Staff WriterPublished: Jun 11, 2012
BAY AREA LANDINGS — Boats from landings near the Golden Gate, including San Francisco, Sausalito and Berkeley, found easy fishing for rockfish and lingcod with limits common. Rough sea conditions limited salmon action for part of the week yet Point Reyes became the go-to hotspot.
Capt. Steve Talmadge on the Flash said, “I made our first ocean trip as the ocean decided to be user-friendly…a little bumpy but very fishable. We fished the Marin County coast and used anchovies. My group had limit-style rockfishing with early limits and 7 nice lingcod.” Some of those good fish made the Whopper of the Week list.
Venessa Corales and Barcount Yvener from Greenbrae caught the first two lingcod of the season aboard the Flash. The fish went 26.5 and 26 inches. “We have another set of decent tides coming very soon and the bait keeps coming in so Bay fishing should pick up,” continued Capt. Talmadge.
The California Dawn and the Happy Hooker both posted solid counts of groundfish. Between the boats, exploratory forays covered some ground including the Marin County coast, Duxbury Reef and Stinson Beach. Fortunately, fishing seemed good at all rocky structure spots.
Capt. Jacky Douglas on the Wacky Jacky reported a salmon bite outside the Bay. Boats from Sausalito, including the Salty Lady and New Rayann, boats from Berkeley including the New Easy Rider and boats from San Francisco including the Lovely Martha and Wacky Jacky, made the run to Point Reyes for decent counts of salmon to an impressive 25 pounds.
