4/4 Alameda season starter

Short report:
-no fish for me, or reported by anyone I spoke to.
-water was around 60 degrees, and green with mild/moderate stain.
-Jack smelt are everywhere, but the stripers seem to be absent.
-I fished mostly deeper waters, 17-30’.

I got nothin else really in terms of entertainment or storytelling. It felt fishy and I was surprised to not even get a scratched bait. I think it’s just about ready to pop off. No photos, so I guess it didn’t happen, but then why are my legs sore and why is there so much $*%# to put away?

Thanks for the report Sea-Bree. I’ve been itching to get out there to try my luck. Hopefully they will turn on once warmer weather is more consistence.

Thanks for the Halibut scouting report Sea-Bree.

Thanks for the report Sea-Bree, plan for Sunday was/is ARW so it's nice to have new info.

I'm gonna scout out California City tomorrow, if your game for another attempt hit me up for the super secret Eddy's launch spot. Them You Tubers are gettem um one or two at Oyster Point, ARW, Berkely flats, Mc Nears and Paradise so figure it's about time to put in the work!

Thanks for the report!

I was also at ARW today.  Had two shakers and one keeper at 24”.  Caught shallow 10-12fow.

Congrats on the keeper,  and thanks for the report  simplycook.

I've heard that Richmond is hot right now. Never fished it though. Anyone able to recommend the best place to launch a kayak from?

I launch from the small beach near point Richmond. There’s a parking lot at the intersection of Dornan Drive and brickyard cove road. I think I’ve heard of other using Keller beach as well.
