Halibut report from Charter boats

FYI.

They are picking up Halibut in Crissy Field and Paradise (30 feet).  The source is from friends who fished on different charter boats (Morning Star, Bass Tub).  The Crissy Field location is easy kayak country but you will have to paddle up tide and drift down with the tide, use live bait.  The spots are in front of the Yacht Club in less than 20 feet all the way down to the old Coast Guard station.  Would go fishing but work, work and more work.  The weekend means family time...  Fishing is just a dream for now.

If there still there next weekend.I know that Paradise is yakable(saw a post on it)I'am wanting to do that area and just need a BUDDY to do it with.I'm family-man this weekend too.I marked lots of them Buts' around S.Hampton Shoals during the last month,Went back to try again two weeks later and only marked a few They must of moved on? Moral of story:There one week,gone the next.If word stays the same I'm ready to try that spot next weekend  
P.S.Luis,I live in Pinole.

Adam,

I have a window tomorrow from daybreak to around noon and will try the Richmond South Hampton area for the butts.  I know there are always a lingering few in the area and most of the boats are out the GG looking for the Salmon so there should be little traffic.  I'm going to try and launch from Richmond Marina behind the beach/breakwall area.  I'm going to try to keep it simple and drag the standard gear the boats use (3way, Flasher, Herring with J-Hook slip and Treble stinger).  I still have not developed the castiron arse to do more than a 2~3 hours on the yak.
