Alameda 9/24 & 9/25

Launched encinal boat ramp both days, the docks are back up which is nice. Tides weren’t ideal but worth checking out after a decent coastside report and instagram post from Wednesday. Launched at 9am Saturday and 11am Sunday. Was under 2hp outboard power Saturday and foot power Sunday. Fish bit mostly in 20’ to 25’ with Saturday being the productive day. Had about a dozen bites, 5 or 6 shorts, and 2 keepers. Wind was ideal and let me fish to 3pm comfortably. 25 and 23inches. Sunday much slower, 2 or 3 bites, one stripped bait and nothing stuck. Blown off by 2:30.  Silver flasher, frozen spawn herring with white hootchies.

Congrats on the pair of Butts  . Thanks for the report and pictures DDtAM.

Nice and good to know you can still get more than one in the bay 

Nice catch!  I almost tried Richmond today, but took care of some stuff around the house.  Maybe later this week...

Nice work!!! 🤙

Nice halibuts.

Way to work it.   

Good work on the late season halibut!

Congrats on the fish! I actually liked it when the docks were gone... less competition with boats!

Nice work! I was out on Saturday and spoke to someone briefly on a Hobie-maybe it was you? haha

I went out for halibuts as well and unfortunately I had no luck, even with catching and using a live jackmselt. Good to see that there are some this late in September. How far out were you?

Nice! need to get back to Hali fishing. Thanks for the report!

Maybe was, I was trolling on my olive hobie using a 2hp outboard I recently mounted. Fish were biting deeper, 20-25ft which is about a mile to a mile and a half from the encinal launch. If it makes you feel better, I went back out the day after (Sunday, 9/25) and only managed a couple scratched baits. Sometimes it’s just a right place, right time kind of day [emoji2369]
