Coho Salmon
Chasing Coho Salmon near Sausalito offers a unique saltwater experience, particularly as these fish stage before their upstream spawning runs. The key here is understanding the salmon's migratory patterns and forage preferences within the San Francisco Bay's dynamic environment. The best action usually occurs from late summer into early fall, when the Coho are actively feeding on baitfish. Focus your efforts near the entrance to the bay and along the Marin Headlands, paying close attention to areas with strong tidal currents and structure. Natural presentations, such as trolling herring or casting spinners that mimic local baitfish, tend to be most effective. A crucial tip: monitor water temperature and clarity, as Coho prefer cooler, clearer water. Launching from Sausalito's harbor provides easy access to prime fishing locations. Remember to check current regulations, as Coho seasons and retention policies can be restrictive to protect the population.
