Berkeley Pier, Sunday, March 30

Trolled from the Berkeley marina ramp to the end of the pier ruins, then halfway to Treasure Island and back.  On the water at the crack of 9:30am, and off by 2:00pm.  At 1pm the bay was still glass... by 2pm, it was sheep city.

I was trolling frozen anchovies on an FBR, and using a 2 oz. P-line Pulse Raiser dropper for a weight.  The dropper collected a lot of salad initially, but once I got beyond the end of the public part of the pier there were no more weeds (and I checked both the bait and the jig frequently).

I had one bite, I think... about mid-morning I'm looking to the left, and out of the corner of my right eye the rod goes big-bendo for about 1 second, then nuthin... the 'chovie looked fine so maybe something struck at the dropper, or it was a snag.

There was only a bit of radio chatter about fish for the PB'ers... sounds like a total of 3-4 distinct butts were boated by noon on sunday, all from around Treasure Island.

Maybe next week!

Backcountry

Right on, Backcountry - way to give it a go.  Start snapping some pics and you'll probably catch more fish!   

My better half was paddling her SIK with me... she took a bunch of pics and I'll post them tomorrow!
