The
Hotsheet is a daily fishing news letter covering ALL
of Northern California.
Whether if you are stalking
steelhead on the north coast rivers, salmon fishing
along the coast, trout fishing in the mountains or
chasing albacore offshore, the Hotsheet will keep
you on top of the action.
The Hotsheet changes daily
and the focus of the reports change with the
seasons. The Hotsheet arrives directly to your
desktop three evenings per week throughout
the year. Every Hotsheet includes a daily round up of the day's
hottest fishing opportunities throughout Northern
California, a complete weather summary and marine
weather forecast for the following day so you can
plan your trips with confidence. These reports
contain no advertisements, are accurate and full of
helpful tips & tactics and gps coordinates. Also
included are events, news releases and regulation
changes to keep you up to date on issues concerning
our fisheries. We also do a spin-off of the Hotsheet
called a "Hotflash". These are short updates when
there is an exceptionally hot bite and we want to
get the word out quickly to our subscribers. It's
"Today's Information TODAY", not last week's or last
month's information you often find. These reports
will not only help you catch more fish but will save

HotSheet Report |
Top of the Report:
We are seeing light rain across the Central
Coast with showers falling as far north as
Monterey. Winds are very light at the
weather buoys with variable south winds
under 6 knots over a 3 to 4 foot swell. The
calm weather will continue with light winds
through about mid day Friday. Going into the
weekend the forecasters are calling for
increasing NW winds and swell heights.
The bays were glassy calm this morning with
light winds to 10 knots in the Central Bay
this afternoon. The forecast calls for good
weather in the bays the next several days.
We see some of the first big spring tides
starting early next week so you will want to
get out after halibut sooner rather than
later as I expect the counts to drop off
with the minus tides.
The steelie season is over and I will not be
covering North Coast weather or river
conditions until next September but we will
have fishing reports for the Klamath and
Central Valley rivers throughout the summer.
Good Luck!

Today's Saltwater Fish Wrap:
Ft Bragg
The salmon season wrapped up on Monday.
Final count for FT Bragg based anglers since
the mid February opener......... A drum roll
please dAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. ONE Salmon. UGLY!
Bodega
Just a few of the regulars have been out
turning over their crab gear with most
reporting a bit less this week at 1 to 2 per
pot. Not many undersize crabs showing and I
expect a well below average season this
winter but 09 looks to be much better with
all the 2 to 3 inch crabs that we saw early
this season.
It's just going to take another 18 months
for those crabs to molt and grow to legal
size.
Golden Gate
Joe Jimno at the Rusty Hook in Pacifica said
that anglers are picking up an occasional
striper on either hair raisers, blood worms
or sand crabs. The bite is just so-so. The
perch schools are sitting south of Pacifica
near Half Moon Bay where red tail perch to
3-pounds have been taken. Local perch has
been spotty, but crabbing at the end of the
pier has been very good for patient anglers.
Joe has been selling a tremendous number of
abalone report cards, as apparently, he is
one of the only bay area outlets for the
report card.

Ly Tu of Ly's Fishing Goods in San Jose said
the southern perch school is holding at Sea
Cliff Beach south of Santa Cruz with Berkley
Gulp! Sand Crabs doing the trick for barred
perch to 2.3-pounds
The BAYS:
The Hurley Chronicles
by Dave Hurley
Jay Lopes of Right Hook Sport Fishing had a
great day on Monday trolling throughout the
Berkeley Flats with frozen anchovies behind
a 6 to 8-inch Sep's Dodger. They landed 6
legal halibut, 3 stripers and released a few
shakers. He will be moving to Berkeley next
week to begin his halibut trolling season.
Mike at Mike's Bait in Oakland reported that
a 17-inch pile perch won his inaugural Perch
Derby over the weekend. The best halibut
action has been in the Berkeley area with
the pier producing from 3 to 4 keepers per
day on frozen bait. He just got in his
supply of live shiners and this should push
up the fish count. There have been several
shaker halibut released from the Alameda
Rockwall with a few keepers to 26-inches.
Sturgeon action has really slowed down, as
most anglers are now focusing their efforts
on halibut. The area from Bay Farm to the
Emeryville Chinese Restaurant has been slow.
There have been some nice stripers taken on
bullheads at Point Pinole on the outgoing
tide.
George Lu at Bay Tackle in El Cerrito
reported limits of halibut landed to 20
pounds near Richmond at Brooks Island on
frozen herring or anchovies in combination
with a Sep's Dodger. Sturgeon fishing off
Point Pinole has really improved with as
many as 7 fish landed from the shoreline
with ghost shrimp. There also has been
improving striper action in the Carquinez
Straits with ghost shrimp or pile worms.
Debbe Vinje at Leonard's Bait in Port Sonoma
broke a long unlucky sturgeon streak with a
fat 60-incher landed near Miramonte on the
Petaluma River on a combination of mud
shrimp and grass shrimp. They released a
shaker and also had missed a couple of good
bites. The sturgeon ran here around the boat
a couple of times before Joel Sinkay took
over the rod to relieve his fear of losing
the fish in the anchor rope. Debbe has been
known to jump from boat to boat in the Napa
Marina in the middle of the night to land a
striper, so this must have been an
entertaining fish fight. She added there are
good sturgeon reports in t he Napa River
near Hudemann Slough and Skaggs Island.
One customer keeps coming over from Hayward
to purchase bullheads and reported
consistently catching and released 22 to
30-pound stripers in the Carquinez Straits
on cut bullheads. There haven't been too
many reports from the Pumphouse inside the
bay, but the mornings have been very
fishable with little wind.
Delta:
Hurley Chronicles continued....
Jay Lopes of Right Hook Sport Fishing will
be finishing up his sturgeon fishing this
weekend out of Martinez Marina. Over the
weekend, he fished near the Glomar Buoys for
action on all three days, including a
54-inch keeper and several missed
opportunities. He said this area is holding
the most fish.
Do at Dockside Bait and Tackle said angler
interest has been low, but there have been a
few stripers in the 8-pound category taken
on bait with a few sturgeon in the mix.
Grass shrimp has been hard to come by,
making things more difficult as many anglers
are clamoring for the grass.
Alan Fong of the Fisherman's Warehouse in
Sacramento and "Fun Fishing" has been
working with his prototype swimbait to be
named "Allie Baby". The bait is a
triple-jointed lure in a variety of colors.
He has been scoring excellent bags of
largemouths in the central Delta on the
outside weed lines, as the fish still
haven't moved up with the cold morning
weather.
Jeff Boyle of the Fisherman's Warehouse in
Manteca was on the water with his son,
Scott, on Monday for excellent striper
action trolling shallow running Bombers in
rainbow trout or red head/white body. There
were several boats working the west bank of
the Sacramento on a Monday, so you can
imagine what this weekend will look like as
the word is out. The best action was on the
incoming tide with things slowing to a crawl
on the outgoing. They ended up with 8 fish
to 8-pounds with the majority of the fish
milking males.
Rio Vista Bait and Tackle reported a few
sturgeon landed near the Sherman Island
Powerlines on ghost shrimp. The best area
activity has been up in Miner Slough or
surrounding sloughs with Yozuri Crystal
Minnows on the troll for stripers.
Update from Capt. Kev Yost - Lucky Strike
Fishing
YAHOO!! SPRING HAS SPRUNG and the
STURGEON SEEM TO BE ABOUT TO SPRING INTO
ACTION!!
Boy..it has been a challenging winter
pattern. The sturgeon have been making us
WORK for the last couple of months for every
bite and for every hook up!!
We have worked hard, and covered a lot of
water for our hooks ups. It has been the
toughest winter pattern I have experienced
in several years!!
It seems the SPRING bite is FINALLY is about
to SPRING into action!! Water temps are now
in the 58 degree range, water clarity is
coming back, the weather is improving, and
boy oh boy.. are the sturgeon jumping!! In
the last two days, I would estimate to have
seen 80 or more sturgeon jumping, and even
more on the graph. At one time yesterday, we
were seeing 8 or more sturgeon on the sonar
at one time. In one 300 yard stretch of
water, I would estimate that we marked close
to 100 sturgeon!! These are two signs we
have not experienced over the last few
months!!
While I will still rate the bite as slow to
improving, all of the signs and some of the
results are starting to look like things
could bust wide open any time. The bite is
still very light, and some anglers are
finding it very challenging to be able to
get the hook set. Anglers need to forget
about waiting for the classic sturgeon pump,
and really focus on the rod tips. The minute
the slightest movement is seen, anglers must
be in position and prepared to set the hook
immediately!! I have even missed a few hook
sets...I know I know!!
The wind, over the last few weeks, has made
it very difficult to see the very light
sturgeon bite that we have had to deal with
during the entire winter pattern; however,
anglers have been getting the bites. As a
result of what I feel is a much higher salt
water intrusion, as well as a very limited
water release, it has been necessary to
cover a lot more ground. Areas from Suisun
Slough, to the Middle Grounds, to the San
Joaquin river near Antioch, to the power
lines towards Rio Vista have ALL produced
sturgeon. While some areas have been known
to produce some limited action for shakers,
we have continued to cover a wider scope of
water in search of the bigger and more
active sturgeon.
A wider variety of baits have been needed as
well. Our "Hot Roe" remains to be the main
stay, but we have also used eel, grass
shrimp, ghost shrimp, shad, and pile worms.
Good Luck out there and we are looking
forward to seeing you on the water!!

RIVERS:
Sac Wednesday 4-2
Raith Heryford of RH Guide Service in Yuba
City has been fishing the Sacramento River
near Colusa for what he termed "good"
striper action on 9-inch black plastic worms
or Gibbs Minnows. He said the secret is to
get to the spots early and find the deep
water before the fish get harassed by boat
and angler traffic. He set up on one spot
this week and his fly fishing client pulled
12 stripers on Clowser Minnows out of one
hole, but after this great flurry of action,
the bite was over. He said the action isn't
what it has been the past couple of years
due to the low and warm water levels. The
fish won't stick around long with the warm
water, spawning quickly and heading back
down to the bays.
The best action has been on lures with bait
fishing far slower. He did report a great
sturgeon bite in the deeper holes from
Knight's Landing up to the Chico Straits on
pile worms and eel.
Feather 4-2
Mike Searcy at Star Bait in Marysville
reported good striper action from Verona to
Shanghai Bend on the Feather River and also
from Verona to Meridian on the Sacramento.
The water levels on the Feather are still
very low at 1000cfs, limiting the stripers
below Shanghai Falls and keeping most fish
from traveling up the river.
LAKES:
New Melones Reservoir
Danny Layne of Fishn' Dan's Guide Service
reported decent action for both rainbows and
kokanee in the Angels Creek Arm and along
Glory Hole Point with small spoons, spinners
or flasher crawlers from the surface to 20
feet. The kokanee are large for this early
in the season at 14-inches. Bank fishing has
been slow. Layne reported a good rainbow
bite at nearby Lake Tulloch in the river
channel or areas under the Power Lines in
the Green Springs Arm from the surface to 15
feet with Uncle Larry's spinners, Vance's
Slim Willies tipped with a crawler or rolled
shad. Trout plants are scheduled for both
Melones and Tulloch this week.
Bass fishing has improved as the fish are
holding to main lake points and also upriver
at depths to 25 feet near structure. Brown
jigs, green pumpkin Brush Hawgs,
crawdad-colored plastics or Senko's with a
slow presentation have been effective. Bob
Hartz of Sonora caught and released a
13.25-pound largemouth on a pumpkin Zoom
U-Tail Worm near the mouth of Mormon Creek.
Catfish and crappie remain slow, but crappie
are biting minnows in Bear Cove. The lake
dropped
1875 acre-feet to 63% of capacity.
Reminder: it is important to sign up now for
the Glory Hole Sports 10th Annual Fishing
Seminar's on-the water fishing lessons by
area guides and professional anglers on
April 5th. Call (209) 736-4333 for
information and registration.
Lake Isabella
Ed Cordell of Big Ed's Bait and Tackle
reported improved trout fishing with this
week's stable weather. Rainbow, chartreuse,
Garlic Cheese or Corn Power Bait has been
the best producers. Catfishing is improving
throughout the lake with cutbaits. The bass
are still holding deep although the water
temperature is starting to warm up. No
crappie report. The lake is at 26% of
capacity.
San Luis Reservoir and O'Neill Forebay
Ly Tu of Ly's Fishing Goods in San Jose
reported the stripers are scattered
throughout the main lake. Anglers will have
to search around for the shad schools before
they find the fish. Schoolies to 25-inches
can be landed on frozen anchovies once you
locate the schools of bait. The Forebay is
producing undersized or small legal stripers
on live freshwater smelt or mudsuckers near
Check 12. The lake dropped 6718 acre-feet to
84% of capacity in response to decreased
pumping from the Delta to protect the
endangered Delta smelt. There are no reports
of trout fishing at nearby Los Banos Creek
Retention Dam, but Wedding Rings tipped with
a Gulp worm or crawler behind a Vance's or
Sling Blade at depths from the surface to 15
feet should all work for limits of planted
fish.
Wind conditions: 800-805-4805.
Eastman Lake
Buck Deaner reported things are stirring
with some anglers reporting as many as 7
bass landed on black/blue jigs. The fish
should come up to spawn as the lake warms up
with consistent weather. Trout fishing is
still slow with better action at nearby
Hensley. The lake is at 25% of capacity.
Hensley Lake
Buck Deaner reported good action for planted
trout with Scorpion Spinners tipped with a
Gulp worm or half-crawler from the surface
to 15 feet. This is the first consistent
trout report despite all of the plants this
spring. Bass fishing is showing signs of
life with small fish taken on plastics or
Senko's. The lake came up to 37% of
capacity. A DFG trout plant is scheduled for
this week.
McSwain Reservoir
Diana Mello of A-I Bait in Snelling reported
continued good trout with trollers scoring
from Gilligan's Island to the 2nd Fence Line
from the surface to 20 feet in depth with
silver/blue Kastmasters or Wedding Rings
tipped with a crawler. Bank anglers are
picking up limits with salmon eggs or orange
or white Power Bait from the Handicapped
Docks and the Brush Pile. The annual
Mariposa County Derby is April 26/27th.

From Round n' About:
Boat inspections mandatory starting April 8
By Terry Knight -- Record-Bee outdoors
columnist
Clear Lake, with its 44,000 surface acres,
will be the first major body of water in
Northern California to require all boats
entering Lake County to undergo a mandatory
inspection for quagga and zebra mussels. On
Tuesday, the Lake County Board of
Supervisors passed an interim urgency
ordinance establishing the inspection and
decontamination program. The program starts
April 8.
According to Melissa Fulton, chief executive
officer of the Lakeport Regional Chamber of
Commerce and Quagga Mussel Task Force
member, the inspection and decontamination
program is designed to be "boater friendly"
and will be easy for the fishermen and
boaters to comply with.
"We want to make it perfectly clear that we
are not closing the lake and that we welcome
fishermen and other boaters to Lake County.
We also want to keep Clear Lake clean of
invasive species such as the quagga and
zebra mussels," Fulton said. "Hopefully this
program will accomplish both."
According to Fulton, the way the program
will work is that a boater entering the
county will be directed to a boat inspection
station where the boat will be inspected by
a certified inspector. If the boat is
determined to be clean of mussels and their
lava (called veligers), the operator will be
given a sticker that he or she must place on
the boat. The sticker and inspection is free
from April 8 through June 30.
After June 30, there will be a small fee for
the inspection and sticker. The stickers are
valid until Jan. 1, 2009. If the boat fails
to pass inspection, it will be directed to
one of the four decontamination stations
located around the county. The
decontamination process includes washing the
boat, its bilge, livewells and trailer with
water that's at least 140 degrees.
Fulton said signs on the highways leading
into the county would issue instructions so
that boaters can comply with the ordinance.
These instructions include a radio station
you can tune to or a telephone number to
call, both of which will direct the boater
to the nearest inspection station. Initially
the inspection stations will be located at
the Clearlake Oaks Fire Station, Upper Lake
Fire Station and the Konocti Vista Casino
and Marina, located on Soda Bay Road just
south of Lakeport. Fulton said other
inspection stations will be added in the
near future.
Lake County residents who leave their boats
full time in the county can get a sticker
without being inspected. All they have to do
is contact the Clearlake Chamber of Commerce
(994-3600), the Lakeport Regional Chamber of
Commerce (263-5092) or the Lake County
Visitor Center (274-5652) and complete an
Affidavit of Compliance to receive a free
sticker. That program is good until June 30.
If your boat leaves the county, it may be
inspected upon returning to the county.
Actually, the ordinance says all water
vessels will be inspected and that includes
boats, boat trailers, kayaks, rafts, jet
skis, inflatable rafts or any other device
capable of being introduced into a body of
water in Lake County.
The ordinance also states it's illegal to
dispose of any live bait into the lake,
including live minnows, worms or other live
bait. According to Fulton, fishermen can
still use live minnows and other live bait
but they can't be dumped into the lake after
fishing. The same applies to the water in a
minnow bucket. It must be disposed of away
from the lake or storm drains that empty
into the lake.
The sheriff's boat patrol will be looking
for boats and other watercraft without
stickers and the fine for those cited for
not complying with the ordinance will be
$100 for a first offense, $200 for a second
offense and not less than $500 for a third
offense. Fulton also said she is contacting
bass tournament directors to inform them of
the recently passed ordinance so they can
pass the information on to their members.
"Clean and dry is what we want in regards to
boats entering the county and that includes
bilges and livewells as well as the boat
motor itself," Fulton said. "We ask for
patience and cooperation from boaters to
keep our beautiful waters in Lake County
free of the invasive mussels."
