Tips right now

Technique Start with a spinner for brown trout, the most likely catch right now.
Depth The water is warm. Fish often sit deeper or in shade, work the cooler spots. Look towards deeper water.
Lure Soft-plastic jig for red drum: Soft-plastic on the flats.
Timing Brown trout is slow at night. The best bite comes at dawn.
Colour Clear water and good light: try silver, copper and natural patterns for brown trout.

Fishing permit

A state fishing license is required to fish here. Licenses are issued by each state:

About this water

Berkeley Pier

The Berkeley Pier is a closed municipal pier in Berkeley, California, on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay. Built by the Golden Gate Ferry Company in 1926 for automobile ferry service between Berkeley and San Francisco, it originally extended about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) westward from the foot of University Avenue toward deep water in the bay. The pier formed part of the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway in the United States, and later U.S. Route 40, before the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge displaced the ferry route in 1937.
