Probably further south by the bay, but I think this guy was only out for carp. He was way to far up north for there to be any mullet....but I could be wrong.

No... Mullet go way up into fresh water. They are even in the Colorado River. I have even seen them in Lake Matthews (not that I have ever fished there).
Sorry if I'm reviving an old thread, but I have also been wondering about that San Diego Creek area, as its also formally called the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary Marsh or something like that, but I have been reading the rules online and it says fishing and hunting is prohibited... It does look VERY fishy though.
The San Joaquin marsh is not worth fishing, anyway. The only fish found there are Mosquitofish, Carp, Red Shiners, and bullheads. possibly some mullet here and there.
As for the upper bay, there are many regions you're legally allowed to fish, you find alot more croakers, grunts, and mullet. Sargo get enormous up there.
Dont know if anyone will read this but the marsh is not the same as the river that runs along campus. The marsh area is the area next to the river located by the national audubon society. The river used to be fishable and i caught alot of small miuth bass and bluegill there. Since the water district began work there, no fish. This used to be a fun "secret" spot of mine.
Go to DFG website and you can download the information regarding the back bay. I interpret the info to show that most any thing going inland from the Back Bay launch to the right past the restaurant is closed. So the very back bay muddy area that was being dredged is off limits to all fishing, regardless of how you access the area.
Nope. You're allowed to fish the upper bay, you just cannot take invertebrates or possess them in that area, only finfish. You're not missing much, because the further up you go, the less saline it becomes, baybass are absent and it's mostly croaker, sargo, and smelt which all can handle lower salinity.Originally Posted by JL
you wouldn't want to fish a dredged area anyway!
