The herring are in Sausalito,I saw half a dozen boats between barrel house and trident

Thanks for the intel! I just finished my pickled herring. Although, I think I'll be OK not eating pickled herring for a little while. 

Thanks for the heads up! Can anyone confirm whether they're spawning against the shore? In other words, are they accessible?

Yes the boats are gill netting,alot of the boats were about 20 yards from shore all stack up on each other.these are commercial fisherman

The boats are still here

Birds and seals are here thick also,a couple of guys are using throw nets

Wow..thanks for the live update! damn, i can't make it out there.

How long do you think the herring will stick around?  I've always wanted to try but never really had any detail as to their season.

You'll probably have till tomorrow at best... longer than that will be doubtful I think.

I was there 3:30 pm till after 5 PM.  Never got my net out.  Rocks were covered in roe.  Seagulls working the eggs with the cormorants mostly congregated offshore a ways.  Paradise rocks also covered in roe so the herring were there also this am.   No fish sighted and the one lone guy with a cast net had zero.

the run is over? 

Zero herring in Sausalito or Point Richmond this AM 9:00

Herring roe is great bait for sturgeon.
