Part of the Hooked on Fishing the Golden Gate video series. Demonstrates a few different techniques and locations for catching halibut in San Francisco Bay.
The bay shoreline is generally very shallow once you get south of Oyster Point. So, most shore fishing should be done around a high tide. Coyote Point and the shoreline south of SFO can produce sharks, rays and occasional striped bass. Oyster Point can be decent for the same species and occasional halibut. There's a lot of shore access along bay trail from Oyster Point to the San Mateo Bridge. Check with Oyster Point Bait and Hi's Tackle Box for more specifics.
Don't know long-term effects of dropping lead weights in bay or ocean for that matter. Probably not enough of them dropping in the bay to have a negative impact.

Droppin all the lead would get expensive. A pound and a half lead ball is probly around eight bucks a piece.
Great video!

Any idea what the long term effects of all those lead balls getting dumped in the bay on a daily basis? Just curious.
That’s just about the least of my worries, it’s 2021 lol
Using 1-pound weights. Don't know what they cost maybe $2. Sometimes we tie them on, but better chance of getting the fish in without the weight.
Dear Mr Hansen
Just started following you are you still fishing, all videos are 6 years, is there any new videos?
