The wind died down for a few days letting the people get out of the bay and catch some rockfish. The fishing was a bit scratchy but most of the guys that put in the time caught their limits. A few boats even limited on lings. Halibut fishing in the bay has been very slow and even the sharks aren't biting well. The water is starting to warm up though, so those fish should start getting hungry soon. The fish that are hungry now are the surfperch. Quite a few are being caught off the beach, mostly on ghost shrimp. I've heard that the sand crabs are molting now so those might be a good choice for bait if you can catch some soft-shelled ones.
