LCO Reports 5/25/2017

The Bay is fishing incredibly well for stripers. This fish was literally caught this morning. You will notice the fish will start to get larger over the next few weeks. Get out there and fish this awesome fishery right in our backyard. 

Intermediate (slow sinking lines) have been the ticket from shore. Large flies will help you target larger fish.

The Bay is En Fuego! Get out there now! Chartreuse and white has been hard to beat. We hooked about 15 this morning.

Someone dropped a striper bomb on the bay this week. We received multiple good reports from Marin and a few from north Alameda Co. Lots of schoolies around and a few bigger dudes. Crissy Field, literally in SF, is cranking out stripers and perch. This is seriously cool, urban fishing. Not many places in the world you can do it like this, and nowhere else can...

The capturing continues to improve out in the salt. We’re hearing positive coastal reports from Monterey to Bolinas. Still mostly schoolie shakers but with a few larger fish showing up (especially for the gear guys). The last winter has completely remodeled our beaches, so the holes and troughs you fished last fall are likely not there anymore. However,...

The Bay and the beach might be the best thing going statewide right now. The spring migration is game on and we’re seeing fish from Monterey to Bolinas. Good reports from Pacifica and Alameda Rocks (outside the Golden Gate, not East Bay) are rolling in. Marin is heating up, lots of schoolies around Richardson Bay and Corte Madera Creek and tons of bait. 

Most...

4/24/2017 LCO Reports

The Surf and the bay have been fishing pretty well. There are a lot of smaller to mid sized stripers running around the bay right now. They have been liking all colors from chart and white, to blue and white, and black. Get out there now is the time. Look for low wind and surf days to capitlize. We have big tides with the upcoming full moon

Steve Hegedus landed this beauty this am in Marin. 

The Bay continues to slowly clear and improve. The water clarity will vary day to day and the fish roam everyday too. Find bait and you’ll find stripers. The bigger fish from the Delta are on their way out to the ocean now so don’t be too shocked if you find a couple 5+ pounders in between the schoolies.

Lost Coast Outfitters reports on 4.6.17

Sharpen your hooks and your casting stroke, the spring migration is building and the Bay is fully worth a few hours of your time. I’d stay inside tomorrow, unless you have a masochistic streak, but by Sunday we’re looking good and the stripers will be boiling across four counties!

The water seems to be clearing every day as the rivers feeding the Delta are...

Lost Coast Outfitters reports on 3.30.17

The Bay seems to be clear one day and off the next. The dirty creek and Delta flows combined with clean water currents from the Golden Gate make for some great color lines, but that can change daily with the tides.  A good number of striper are being caught in the usual places Corte Madera and Richardson bays to name a few. 

Bait and schoolie stripers are out...

Lost Coast Outfitters reports on 3.16.17

The surf and the Bay are heating up for stripers! The warm and dry weather is clearing up the water and the bait is getting scared. Schoolie stripers are appearing in the bays and points in Marin and East Bay and we’ve heard good reports from Pacifica on the beach side. 

Things will only get better from here on out. A couple storms are predicted to slide...
