No spawn seen from Oyster point to sausalito through raccoon straight all the way to the pump house in san pablo bay yesterday. You won’t find many traces of those days left. You may even decide to get off the boat and stay in the inn. This was 10 years ago. Also nothing at Ferry Pt @720 nothing yet – BigMark you must have been one of the few folks in the lot this AM :). Keep your eyes on this area. I haven’t heard of a spawn in that area. Lots of birds. No herring, no eggs, no birds. Unfortunately #fakenews is all too common in this world. It’s mud and not a lot of vegetation but definitely found roe on the rocks there’s no fur bags there so they must’ve got their sex on and got the hell out Time to Pay more close attention they’re definitely around now. Went by Kincaids on Sunday. I believe it has already happened there. This welcoming indentation, with its fertile land and easy access to the rich fishing grounds of the Bay, have made it attractive from the earliest colonial days. For those of you with children, take them whale watching at least so they can describe to their children what whales looked like. There is an excellent restaurant and your own sandy beach and swimming pool a few steps away. Keep the faith. Make that two bow pickers in the same spot, now drifting east, and cormorants flying into the area. Eggs still there. Hey keep could you keep us updated about paradise in the morning would really appreciate that thanks. Thanks for the info. Population figures from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife illustrate a long downward trend, accented by periodic spikes in abundance. We were finished by 12:30pm. No one was catching anything. –TLA. They were drawn to the dock lights and were just under and off the docks. – when they spawn they go for the eel grass and such to lay eggs which brings them into shallow water where we can use sabiki rigs and cast nets to get them. It takes about the same amount of time driving down from Baltimore and about two hours if you’re driving up from Richmond. A tidal cycle (or a synodic month) is about 29.6 d, and 12 synodic mo equals 355.4 d, whereas a calendar year is about 365.2 d. Therefore, the dates of tidal phases, such as the springtide, are either about 10 d earlier or 5 d later relative to the previous year. Guys got here at 7am. No birds, someone caught a small perch ♂️. I made so many loops starting from coyote point and ending at alameda looking for activity but never did see anything exciting,no bridge tolls paid that way. Check the eel grass, and got no eggs. Like Saturday there were a large number of birds off shore, about 150 to 200 yards off the pier.If it happens, it’s going to happen soon. Or as Shipwright Harbor’s Jed Dickman modestly puts it, “It’s a wonderful, ideally located spot, where you can find everything you couldpossibly want.”. Nothing at Paradise or Fort Baker. Gonna take my slow ass all day I’ll probably still be cleaning during Superbowl. In Marin County on Paradise there is not a year where I have not seen activity there and it hasn’t hit yet. From the bridge and ferry point no obvious action just across at paradise. –TLA, I recently got a report of a large school of herring roaming the south bay. I need to learn more and get ready for next year. Confirmed and many many many herring hunters are going to task on our silvery friend. From there, you can explore Herring Bay and Rockhold Creek, which meanders peacefully above the Deale Road Bridge for about two miles. Crescent City usually early February. Let him know and let me know what I should do with it. “Th-th-th-th-th that’s all folks!” Disclaimer: I apologize in advance. I hope someone out there is getting them. @MJH, I just did a quick drive and check at Pt. Sausalito quiet, but lots of birds off West Shore and Tiburon. Many many seals though near sausalito where the last spawn was. So pick your sources and not just run after every post. As recently as five years ago, it was great to be a herring in the San Francisco Bay. I gave up even checking the posts cause of that. The herring have done their thing, they spawned on the neap tide. can you give any help with this? That is surprising. No eggs well. Need the bait. Sounds like it was yesterday. On the the north end of Herring Bay—about two and a half miles away—the action centers on Rockhold Creek. Direct access to the Bay allows one to quickly hoist the sails or arrive at well-established fishing spots. If Herrington North (the one we mentioned that lies near the old Town Point) is all about mixing work and play, then Herrington South is all about play. Not that thats any use to us without boats…. Will try point Richmond on our way back and maybe Paradise. We got all the Herring we wanted to catch and most stopped fishing after the first 2 weeks. maybe about 100 yards from the wall. and keep my eyes out on reports as well, thanks to those others who are reporting. Will let folks know. I’d like to hear news from the Peninsula. …It’s pretty far for me, but…if its really spawning I might make the trip. I’ve never traveled south of the Golden Gate Bridge to hunt down the herrings, so I have not really kept track of those places. Count me in for a hoodie! Not feeding yet but we will see. I was out for a paddle from Alameda/Encinal yesterday and checked the eel grass over there. Best if you have a boat. The herring spawns have been shifting since last year. Is it really spawning big, and accessible to net at ferry point, or just a little? As long as the winds are chill and don’t stir up too much silt in the water making things cloudy, we will see more spawning action in some of our favorite shoreline locations. The terminal harvest area is defined as follows: Herring Bay Area: The waters of Herring Bay west of a line from the southernmost entrance of Hole-In-The-Wall harbor at 55°19.110’ N.
