Petrale Sole
San Francisco, California, offers a unique opportunity to target Petrale Sole within striking distance of a major metropolitan area. While not as widely known as other fisheries in the region, the waters outside the Golden Gate can be surprisingly productive for these flatfish. The prime time to target Petrale Sole near San Francisco is generally from late spring through early fall (May-October), when the weather is more stable. Focus your efforts on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms at depths of 180 to 400 feet, particularly around the Farallon Islands or along the continental shelf. A key tip for fishing this area is to monitor weather forecasts closely, as conditions can change rapidly off the coast. Another helpful tip is to use a GPS to mark productive fishing spots, as the underwater terrain can be complex. While Petrale Sole may not be as abundant here as in more northern waters, the opportunity to catch these prized flatfish so close to the city makes it a worthwhile endeavor.
