[cool]You're right about the "no fishing zone". Course, it depends on what you are fishing for. If you're "trolling" for drugs...or other illicit activities...you can get your limit and then some. I used to live in Sacramento and had to do far more business in that area than I cared to. I much preferred the upper part of the bay for fishing and quality of life too.
Did you ever try eating a striper or flounder from the east bay? They smell and taste like they have been cooked in 30 weight oil, if they have spent any time in the refinery areas. Up in San Pablo, though, you can wear yourself out on sturgeon, stripers flounders and some big nasty sharks. But, that is definitely not float tube water. Major currents and big ocean going freighters running over you ain't conducive to quality flotation fishing.
