Nice report Fishmaster1. Glad you were able to enjoy the bounty. That kind of action will bring out lots of pierRats, including Me :smt007. I love fishing for those Macs and Sardines. Lots of fun.

Sat, am I had to work, but drove by Seaside beaches and saw 30 plus guys beach fishing. Well Sat pm I talked to one of the guys I guess action was not that hot, he had caught two under size stripers though. So Sun. am me and a friend trolled from MBK to the Hotel Lots of bait action, birds diving, Dolphins around, and Seals etc. But no stripers for us. Fish finder only showed a couple small fish the whole time. But with all the bait that could/should change any day now. Good luck.

Hi, yes i do, and I was just down at warf. Nobody was catching and all buckets were empty, but I saw baitball on inside of harbor close to ramp and also saw seals gorging on bait, so it is still around. really really flat conditions. thick fog holding.

I walked the wharf during my lunchbreak. Saw lots of people fishing sabikis. Only saw 2 macs landed towards the end, and most buckets were empty...but I did see a few deens too. The sealions were tearing up bait on the surface outside casting range. So yeah, the bait is still around Andy. My PB&J was delicious btw hahaha.
