I was just at a local bait shop and I was informed that a 57 lbs WSB was caught off the San Francisco coast 2 weeks ago. I also saw myself a 35 lbs WSB that same day at fishermans wharf. He said he caught it out-*side the GG but he wouldn't say where.

How common are WSB to the Sf Bay area?
How would they be targeted up here?

they get em up the marin coast every year, not in huge numbers. last year the playin hookey outa emeryville hit the motherload and limited in a short while. the boats stuck about 1 or 2 every other trip after that for a while, then they went away. don't know a whole lot, but i think it was consistant fishing back in the day for them.

Please practice catch & release in SF Bay so these babies can come back BIG!
(then we'll have a BBQ!) :-)

I don't think your trying hard enough lol.

I think WSB will be an incidental catch in the area for a long while. Sounds like they are making a slow comeback. I sure liked catching them the other week.

The most popular spot every year seems to be Capitola. I guess the farther south you get the better.
