Bay Area/Nor-Cal Fishing

Anyone got some good spots to fish? Don't matter the fish just looking for some new spots. I'll rig the poles accordingly.
Haven't had any luck at the piers.
Off the rental boats in Capitola is a big hit or miss.
San Luis has been getting a lot of stripers, but I haven't seen much off shore catches.

Thanks in advance!

If you don't mind driving I'd check out the June lake loop on the other side of Yosemite.
Good trout fishing.

stevens creek reservoir is good for bass, in the morning or later in the day. I had good luck with a texas rig or wacky worm

 

Rent a boat in Santa Cruz and head out to natural bridges... Great Rockfish and Lingcod fishing.

 

Thanks guys!
Might just hit up Stevens Creek Res for the weekend.

Yosemite is a little far from me, but me and the fiance are planning a backpacking excursion for sometime spring next year. I'll bookmark that spot.

I rented a boat a while back from the Capitola pier, and got a ton of mackerel and small king fish. 1 Rock cod, But never got lucky. I was hoping to get some halibut but ehhh notta. I'm gonna hit it again in the rainy season.

 

Nice, let us know how you do. I usually go right on the dam and just work it back and forth

 

^ for sure Dylan! Gonna try to wake up early tomorrow and hit Stevens creek res. What did you bait with?

 

I used purple roboworms for the texas rig and green yakamoto wacky worms

 

Striper fishing at Manresa or Sanddollar Beaches in Aptos. ~1 hr before and after high tide, dawn/dusk is best but not necessary. 1/2-1oz Diawa Salt Pro Minnow. Fish around the rips.

 

know of a few decent spots in the bay, decent fights, not the relaxation of the mountains tho

 

I do a lot of kayak bass tournaments out in the delta.
