Striped Bass
While San Leandro isn’t directly on the Delta, its proximity to the San Francisco Bay makes it a viable access point for chasing striped bass. These migratory fish move in and out of the Bay and its tributaries, following baitfish schools. Your best bet is to target the areas where freshwater mixes with the saltwater of the Bay, particularly around the mouths of creeks and sloughs. Spring and fall are the peak seasons for striper fishing here, coinciding with their spawning runs and migrations. A key to success is understanding the tide patterns. Stripers often feed aggressively during tidal changes. Try fishing from shore at the San Leandro Marina, or launch a boat to explore the deeper channels. Live bait, such as anchovies or shiner perch, is highly effective, but casting swimbaits and topwater lures can also produce explosive strikes. Be aware of size and bag limits for striped bass in California, as regulations can change.
