Will be going to San Jose in a couple of weeks. Plane gets in at
about 9 a.m. and I don't have anything till the next morning. I was
thinking either fishing somewhere in the Southern bay or heading over
to the coast. Any ideas on spots or other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Most of the Ocean in closed except for perch. And they actually may be a
candidate for fly fishing. The bay itself is mostly sharks, sturgeon and
rays this time of year. Lexinton Res. on Highway 17 to Santa Cruz should
have some bass from the shore. Steelhead are in the rivers, but most are
out of your range. Russian is probably the closest and that is at least 4
hours one way.

the sea perch and warm water lake fishing such as Lexington or a few
others in the hills are the only things I came up with too, Frank
I've never tried it but have heard fun stories about the beach perch.

Heading this way (east) would be a waste ... nothing is likely to be
in fishing condition and it's all pretty marginal even when at it's
best.

Every year people get swept out to sea to their deaths by freak waves on
that coast. Given Frank's history, he should keep that in mind.

If you're looking for something interesting to do, Frank, think about
going to Ano Nuevo to check out the elephant seals. (You should make a
reservation.)

Um, you "might" be able to have a fun afternoon right there at the
perk ponds and/or Vasona near Los Gatos, just walking and fishing from
the banks .... I'd assume they have good populations of bluegill,
crappie, that sort of thing .... I don't know anything about laws,
regs, licenses, fees, etc .... I used to go both places a lot with my
dog and let her play in the water without any problem, in about 1968
( might have changed a little ;-)

another .."um" .... then again I wouldn't do anything based on a

I'm actually very comfortable with the beach. Surfed, knee board...
Been there, done that. Saw a wave come out of nowhere and overwhelm
the beach. Luckily, it was a crap day so just a few people where
there at the time, though the surfers there did a lot of rescues.
I'm a strong swimmer (go figure) and know how to get out of a rip
tide. Thinking more on the lines of heading to the ocean vs doing the
south bay. Will see how it goes.

if you can devise a decent sand crab imitation, they are the food of
choice for many of the fish cruising the breakers and sandbars...at
least here in nc. the big drum love them, as do the sea mullet and
weakfish (gray trout) and speckled trout.

Frank,
A word of caution is due! Be careful, if you use one of you famous "Fighting
Crawfish," as Killer whales are know to like gigantic clawed lobsters and
might mistake your "Fighting Crawfish" for a gigantic clawed lobster. We now
know that killer whales are very vicious and dangerous creatures that will
yank you from your pool side (beach side in this case) repose into the murky
depths to thrash you about, until drowned--who'd a thunk such timid looking
critters would be so devious? I bet if they had been name "Friendly,"
instead of "Killer" whales, their dispositions would be much more mellow!
Live and learn, I guess.

Anyway, be safe and keep your ponytail away from the crashing waves. Oh
yeah, don't frolic with baby seal pups in the shallows, Killer whales seem
to just appear out of no where and gobble them up!

BTW, Orca attacks on humans in the wild are unheard of as far as I know.
Great White attacks, however, are pretty common on the coast around San
Francisco, but you have more chance of being swept to your death by a
freak wave.

I've fished for surf perch with spinning and bait-casting gear and
caught a few. It's not that great, to be honest. Can't imagine doing it
with fly tackle. OK, I can imagine it, but I can't imagine being
successful. Tight lines, anyway.

We get orcas lots of times. The orcas we get are not resident and follow

god help him if one of those whales grabs his willy!!!


There are no Orcas on that coast. Plenty of Great White Sharks, though.



I beg to differ. Great pods in the Puget Sound and I've also seen
them in Monterey Bay.

Puget Sound?? Monterey Bay?? I thought we were talking about Southern San
Francisco Bay.


BTW, Orca attacks on humans in the wild are unheard of as far as I know.
Great White attacks, however, are pretty common on the coast around San
Francisco, but you have more chance of being swept to your death by a
freak wave.

I've fished for surf perch with spinning and bait-casting gear and caught
a few. It's not that great, to be honest. Can't imagine doing it with fly
tackle. OK, I can imagine it, but I can't imagine being successful. Tight
lines, anyway.

Some how I don't think Frank will mind if it's an Orca or a Great White as
bystanders see him salt water skiing of into the distance hooked onto a the
"Fish Of His Life."
Hope your patterns are good and the weather fine.

An Orca would be fine as its illegal to fish for whales in Nebraska
(really, its on the books).

You could fish for Orcas in NE as they ar not whales. They are dolphins.
