Fishing in China Camp this Sunday 2-12-17, what species can I catch this...

I'm fishing on my buddie's boat this Sunday and I lost my sturgeon card while clamming at Crab Fest (can't get a duplicate until I take time off work and go to a DFG office  ), so I will be looking for any fish other then Sturgeon to fish for. My buddies will be sturgeon fishing so I will try and assist them with rigging and find places to anchor. Can I catch halibut this time of year? And if so, methods? Or can I catch bait fish like smelt in that area? What else can I catch and what bait to use? I'll even be happy with a bat ray I suppose. I hear they are good eating.

Stripers

yes Stripers! Thanks Ariel!

If I was in that area and wanted to avoid the sturgeon, I'd be dunking some bullheads looking for stripers.

Stripers, sturgeon, leopard.

Fish for stripers. You might have to release some by catch, there's a bunch of these long ugly ass fish around there too
