Bay 

Wold Series Bite! Too bad the Athletics are in the playoffs anymore but who cares we have striped bass in the bay! The past two weeks have been a blast out at Crissy field, but it can be entirely tide based.

For example, I got to Crissy at 6:30 am, the tide was slack at 5:22 am so, in theory, the tidal flow should have been running for about an hour. As I...

The World Series bite is on. Great Fall conditions combined with large groups of stripers are providing fantastic days on the water. 

Please call or drop me a note to reserve your day on the bay.

Its been an excellent week in the San Francisco Bay and it is only going to get better. We are in the thick of the striped bass migration, but other ocean-going aquatic animals are coming into the bay as well. What is exciting and becoming a growing phenomenon is California Halibut on the fly.
Here are some keys to success when targeting Halibut on the fly.

This weekend I had the pleasure of taking out Lars who was visiting the SFbay on a business trip from the UK. Since he visits a few times a year, he wanted to learn about the local waters and how to approach them. I picked him up at his hotel downtown and after a quick breakfast we were at our first stop within 15 minutes( a very short Uber ride if you are car less.)...

Wow, what a week in the surf. It seems we have finally hit the dog dawgs of summer and things seem to be clearing up. It all started on Thursday, with my new two-hand switch rod set up (highly recommend). Schoolies couldn’t get enough of Clouser minnows, and this was the first time in a month I was able to find a consistent amount of stripers from the surf....

Since the beginning of June, the LCO team has switch gears from bay to open beaches. This fishery is so dynamic, I have had to switch tactics as well.

Two hands rods! The casting takes a while to get down but like anything practice makes perfect. Don’t get me wrong you can catch fish in the open ocean with a single hand rod. But let’s...

Lost Coast Outfitters Fishing Report

The fishing is fantastic, catching is good. The beaches inside the bay are my favorite places to fish. Bass, perch and halibut push bait into very shallow water and we just tack back and forth casting up onto the beach and strip back to the boat.

I think gangs of bass patrol these beaches which makes them very good targets with...
