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...

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....

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...
