Quiet. Please info@inceptionpoint.ai Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report. We’re sitting on a mellow late‑spring pattern. The National Weather Service has us in the low to mid‑50s at first light, topping out low 60s this afternoon. Light onshore breeze early, building to 10–15 knots west in the afternoon, small chop on the Central Bay. Skies mostly clear with some marine layer teasing the Gate. Sunrise is right around 5:50 a.m., sunset about 8:20 p.m., giving plenty of swing time on the tide. According to NOAA tide tables for the Golden Gate, we’ve got a predawn low, a solid mid‑morning flood, then an afternoon ebb that really moves. That mid‑morning flood has been the sweet spot: cleaner water pushing in and bait stacking on the edges of the channels. Striped bass action has picked up again after a little lull. Local party boats out of Fisherman’s Wharf and Berkeley have been reporting steady schoolie bass with a few legals to the mid‑20‑inch range, plus the occasional 30‑incher. South Bay shoreline regulars are sticking schoolies around the San Mateo and Dumbarton stretches on the top of the flood and first of the ebb, especially where there’s current wrapping points or bridge structure. Halibut fishing has been the star. San Francisco and Berkeley fleet logs the last couple of days show solid scores on keeper halibut, with boat averages running a fish per rod or better when the wind behaves. Most are 22–30 inches with some bigger slabs in the mix. The best bite has been in 15–35 feet along the Berkeley Flats, Alcatraz, and up toward Angel Island on that incoming tide, then sliding a bit deeper once it starts to rip. Live bait continues to be king. Live anchovies and shiner perch are the go‑to on three‑way rigs or sliding sinker setups, 20–25 lb fluoro leaders and sharp 3/0–4/0 hooks. When bait’s scarce, guys are doing well dragging tray herring and frozen anchovies, especially if you brine them so they hold up. For artificials, white or chartreuse swimbaits on 1–2 oz heads, glow scampi‑style grubs, and 4–5 inch paddle tails in sardine or anchovy patterns have all been producing, especially for bass. From the shore, bloodworms, pile worms, anchovy chunks, and grass shrimp under a sliding sinker are the old standbys. Early morning topwater for stripers can be sneaky good along the Rock Wall and Crissy when the wind lays down: small walkers and pencil‑style plugs in bone or chrome, worked fast over rip lines. A couple of current hot spots: – Berkeley Flats: drifting live bait from just outside the marina north toward the old pier line has been consistently giving up halibut with bonus stripers. Try to line up your drifts to follow the contour rather than cut across it. – Crissy Field to Fort Point: on a softer tide, trolling or casting for stripers along the drop and around the rocks has been productive, particularly first light on the flood. Just mind the current and the shipping lanes. Overall fish activity has been best from first light through the middle of the flood, then again at the start of the evening push when the wind backs off. Once that afternoon blow really gets on it, most boats have been calling it and heading for the barn. That’s the scoop from around the Bay.

Great deals on fishing gear https://amzn.to/44gt1Pn 263 This is Artificial Lure with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for this morning. The Bay is setting up like a classic late-spring grind: good moving water, mixed bait, and fish that want a natural presentation. According to the National Weather Service, expect a cool marine layer for the city, light west wind, and a gray start that can burn back a little later. That means the bite should be best on the tide turns and in the first couple hours of daylight. According to NOAA Tides & Currents, the Bay is running through another strong tidal exchange today, so look for current in the usual lanes: around the points, edges of the channel, and anywhere bait gets pushed tight to structure. For San Francisco, sunrise is around 5:55 a.m. and sunset is around 8:20 p.m., giving you a long window if the wind stays reasonable. Recent local reports out of the Bay and nearby waters point to a solid mix of striped bass, halibut, jacksmelt, and perch. Party boat and shore reports have also been showing some smaller but steady catches of schoolie stripers in the 20- to 28-inch range, with legal halibut picked off sandy edges and sandy pockets near moving water. In the shallows and along the shore, anglers have been scratching out perch and smelt when the tide is right and the bait is present. If you’re throwing artificials, keep it simple. For stripers, a white, chartreuse, or pearl swimbait on a 3/8- to 1-ounce jig head is money. A compact paddle tail or a bucktail jig with a slow, steady retrieve will get bit when the fish are feeding on anchovies or small sardines. For halibut, bounce a weedless swimbait or a swim bait dragged close to bottom along sandy transition zones. If the bite is picky, a little dropper-loop setup with a live or fresh bait fish will save the day. Best bait right now: live anchovies if you can get them, pile worms for perch, and fresh pile scraps or strips for halibut and bass. If you’re soaking bait for stripers, a good old cut anchovy or perch chunk on a sliding sinker rig can still flat-out produce. A couple hot spots to keep on your radar: the San Francisco waterfront around the Embarcadero and the rocky-to-sandy edges near Fort Point when the tide is moving, and the flats and channel edges near the Alameda/Oakland side where bait tends to stack with the current. The Pier 27 to Pier 39 stretch can also produce when the water color stays decent and the bait gets trapped tight to the pilings. Overall, it’s a fish-the-tide kind of day. Move with the current, keep your bait or lure close to the bottom for halibut, and stay ready for a striper to blast a swimbait out of nowhere. Thanks for tuning in, and please subscribe.

Great deals on fishing gear https://amzn.to/44gt1Pn 223 Good morning, this is Artificial Lure with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for today. The Bay is looking like classic springtime mixed-bag water. According to tide tables for San Francisco, we’ve got a decent moving-tide window around the early morning and again later in the day, which is usually prime for getting stripers, halibut, and perch chewing. The best bite often comes right as the tide starts to move, especially near the mouths of creeks, channel edges, and current seams around the city front and the Central Bay. Weather-wise, San Francisco is running on that familiar cool marine layer: breezy, mild, and a little socked in early, with the usual afternoon wind likely to build. That means lighter lines, sensitive tips, and bait or lures that stay close to the bottom will be your friends. Sunrise is right around the early-morning push, with sunset falling in the late evening, giving you a long window of usable light and a solid dusk bite. Recent reports from local anglers around the Bay have been pointing to a steady pick on striped bass, with schoolie fish mixed in with a few better fish, plus some halibut showing along sandy edges and flats. Dungeness crab season is a separate game, but for the rod-and-reel crowd, the action lately has mostly been stripers, halis, perch, and the occasional bonus leopard shark or bat ray if you’re soaking bait in the wrong neighborhood. The bite hasn’t been wide open, but it’s been catchable if you fish the tide right and stay mobile. If you’re throwing artificials, the best lures right now are classic stuff: white or chartreuse swimbaits, 5- to 6-inch paddletails on jigheads, paddle-tail grubs, and jerkbaits worked through current. For halibut, a bouncing swimbait or a sand crab imitation near the bottom can be money. If you want to cover water, a mid-weight swimbait with a steady retrieve is a smart play. For perch and smaller feeders, a little curly-tail grub or bloodworm-style presentation can get it done. Best bait? You can’t go wrong with pile worms, ghost shrimp, anchovies, and fresh grass shrimp if you can get them. For stripers, a lively anchovy or a fresh-cut bait strip is still a Bay Area staple. For halibut, live bait near sandy structure is hard to beat, but a well-presented dead bait or swimbait will absolutely produce if you stay in the zone. A couple hot spots to check: the shoreline around the Berkeley Flats and Emeryville area on the right tide, and the city-front edges near Candlestick and South Beach where current, depth, and baitfish tend to stack up. Also worth a look are the Alameda Rock Wall and the edges around Angel Island where moving water can wake things up fast. So keep an eye on the tide, fish the edges, and don’t be afraid to move until you find the bait. The Bay rewards persistence. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to subscribe.

Dawn's breakin' over the Golden Gate, and it's lookin' prime out there. Weather's cooperatin' today—mostly sunny with highs around 68°F, light winds from the west at 5-10 knots, per the National Weather Service forecast. Perfect for a bay run. Sunrise hit at 6:05 AM, sunset's at 8:15 PM, givin' ya a solid 14 hours of light. Tides are key in the Bay: NOAA charts show low tide at 4:12 AM (-0.8 ft), high at 10:28 AM (5.2 ft), then low again at 5:01 PM (0.1 ft). Fish the incomin' tide hard from now till noon— that's when the striper bite peaks. Fish activity's heatin' up post-spawn. Recent reports from Pier 39 and the Delta outposts say limits of **striped bass** (up to 15 lbs) on live shad and swimbaits, **halibut** floppin' in the flats (20-30 fishers/day boatin' 5-10 keepers), and **leopard sharks** stackin' up near the bridges. Lingcod and rockfish are solid offshore, with party boats from Bodega haulin' 20-fish limits. Dungeness crab's still open, pots fillin' fast. Best lures? Go **Rat-L-Traps** or **Yo-Zuri 3D Minnows** in anchovy patterns for stripers—work 'em slow over mudflats. **Bertram swimbaits** or **grubs on jigheads** nail halibut. Live **mud shrimp** or **ghost shrimp** under a sliding sinker for sharks and perch. Frozen anchovies on a Carolina rig if bait's scarce. Hot spots: Hit the **Potato Patch** shoals inside the Gate for stripers on the flood—troll or drift. Then slide to **Angel Island flats** for flatties; anchor and soak bait. Stay clear of restricted zones, check your licenses. Rig tight, watch the currents, and let's get bit! Thanks for tunin' in—subscribe for daily updates!

We're looking at a decent day out on the water. High tide's hitting around 10 AM, with a low following at 4 PM. That's prime time for striped bass and leopard sharks in the deeper channels. Water temp's sitting around 54 degrees—still chilly, but the fish are active. Weather-wise, expect mostly cloudy skies with light winds from the northwest, around 8-12 knots. Perfect conditions for getting out there without fighting the elements. Sunrise was just before 6:30 this morning, and you've got until about 8:45 PM tonight. The bite's been solid lately. Local reports show stripers hitting consistently in the 18-24 inch range, with some quality leopard sharks running 4-6 pounds. Perch have been coming through in decent numbers too. Recent catches include some nice sturgeon action deeper in the bay, though those require patience. For lures, I'm throwing live anchovies and shiners—can't beat 'em for stripers. If you're going artificial, try white swim baits or shad-pattern plugs. For leopard sharks, cut mackerel or squid gets the job done. Perch anglers should work small soft plastics or live ghost shrimp. Two spots I'm eyeing: the Dumbarton Bridge pilings—classic striper territory with good current flow during the tide change. Also hit up the Berkeley Pier if you want easier access and consistent perch action. Thanks for tuning in, and please subscribe for daily reports.

Weather's lookin' mild: partly cloudy, highs in the low 60s, light northwest winds 5-10 knots, water temps hoverin' at 58°F. Sunrise at 6:15 AM, sunset 8:00 PM—get out early for that dawn bite. Fish activity's heatin' up with spring striper runs pushin' north along the coast, mixin' into the Bay like we've seen in recent east coast reports from spots like Raritan Bay and Long Island, where 40-50 inch cows are showin'. Locals report steady striped bass up to 35 inches, halibut hittin' 20-30 pounds, plus leopard sharks and Dungeness crab in the shallows. Recent catches: limits of stripers on live shiner minnows near the Golden Gate, halibut on jigs off Alameda, and sturgeon pushin' 100+ pounds in the Delta channels. Best **lures**? Go with **Rat-L-Traps** or **Swimbaits** in chartreuse for stripers chasin' schools near drop-offs. **Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows** or **iron jigs** for halibut bouncin' bottom. Live **mudshrimp** or **ghost shrimp** under a float kills it for perch and sharks; pile worms or anchovies for sturgeon.

Live **mudshrimp** or **ghost shrimp** under a float kills it for perch and sharks; pile worms or anchovies for sturgeon. Hot spots: Hit the **Marin County shoreline** near Point Reyes for stripers on the flood tide, or **the Oakland Bar** off the estuary for halibut—anchor up and soak bait.

It's early morning on April 27, 2026, and we're lookin' at a classic San Francisco Bay day—foggy start with temps hoverin' around 52°F, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, clearin' to partly sunny by afternoon, highs near 62°F. Sunrise hits at 6:18 AM, sunset at 8:00 PM, givin' us a solid 13 hours 42 minutes of daylight. Tides are playin' nice today: low at 4:15 AM (-0.2 ft), high at 10:30 AM (5.8 ft), low again at 4:45 PM (1.2 ft), and high at 11:00 PM (6.1 ft). Fish are feedin' strong on the incoming tides, especially mid-mornin' and evenin' around the full moon phase—solunar charts show peak activity from 6-8 AM and 7-9 PM. Recent reports from local charter captains like those on NorCal Fishin' Reports and Pier Fishing in California show stripers hammerin' it, with limits of 20-30 inch schoolies up to 10 pounds, plus halibut pushin' 15-25 pounds near the Golden Gate. Leopard sharks are schooled up thick, 3-8 feet, and sturgeon makin' a comeback in the deeper channels—folks pullin' 40-60 inchers on herring. Dungeness crab traps are full too, with keepers over 6 inches. For lures, nothin' beats **Rat-L-Traps** or **Swimbers** in chrome for stripers chasin' shad—work 'em fast over flats. Yo-yo jigs in 2-4 oz for halibut, glow or sardine patterns. Live bait? Mud shrimp or ghost shrimp on a Carolina rig for perch and sharks; pileperch and rubberlip are bitin' pile lines. Anchovies or sardines whole for sturgeon. Hit these hot spots: **Point Isabel** for shore striper action—cast from the flats at incoming tide. Or **Candlestick Point** piers for easy limits of perch and halibut, especially dawn patrol. Stay safe out there, check regs, and wear your PFDs in the currents.

Sunrise hits at 6:15 AM, sunset around 7:50 PM, givin' ya a solid 13+ hours of daylight to chase 'em. Tides are key in the Bay: low tide 'round 1 AM, high pushin' in by 7 AM with strong currents buildin' to a coefficient near 85—means fish'll be active on the flood, slurpin' bait off the bottom. Solunar's average, but peak bites align with major feedin' windows mid-mornin' and evenin'. Fish activity's pickin' up spring-style. Recent reports from Fish Emeryville on April 25th show solid rockfish limits in shallow waters, plus striped bass crashin' bait schools near the Golden Gate. Locals hauled in limits of vermilion rockfish, lingcod, and a few halibut pushin' 20-30 lbs on the flats. Sturgeon sightings too, with some Dungeness crab pots fillin' up nice. For lures, go with **jigs tipped with squid or anchovy**—1/2 to 2 oz chrome or glow models bouncin' bottom for rockfish. **Swimbaits in white or green** for stripers tearin' through the incoming tide. Best bait? Live anchovies or sardines on a Carolina rig, or bloodworms for halibut. Fly guys, throw clousers or deceivers in chartreuse.

Weather's mild today—partly cloudy skies, temps hoverin' around 55-62°F with light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, accordin' to the National Weather Service forecast. Sunrise hits at 6:22 AM, sunset at 7:52 PM, givin' us a long window of daylight. Tides are key right now: high at 4:17 AM and 4:42 PM, low at 10:05 AM and 10:31 PM, per NOAA charts. Fish the outgoing tide hard, especially the first couple hours after high— that's when stripers and halibut get aggressive in the channels. Action's been hot lately. Local boats out of H&M Landing report limits of rockfish up to 52 reds, plus sculpin, sheephead, sand bass, and even bluefin tuna pushin' 60 pounds on recent offshore runs. In the Bay proper, stripers are schoolin' up to 40 inches on bunker schools, halibut hittin' 20-30 pounders, and sturgeon makin' cameo appearances. Leopard sharks are thick too, with party boats boxin' limits on clams and shrimp. Best baits? Live bunker or anchovies for livelin' stripers—match the hatch. Bloodworms, clams, and green crabs for bottom dwellers like blackfish. For lures, soft plastics like paddletails and swimbaits in chartreuse, plus glide baits and metal lips for those surface explosions. Jig slow on the drift durin' heavy current. Hot spots: Hit the Richmond flats for halibut on the drop-off at 20-40 feet, or the Oakland Middle Ground for stripers crashin' bait balls. Pier 7 or the Marin shorelines are gold for shore anglers chuckin' plugs at dawn. Rig up tight, watch the tides, and stay safe out there—Bay traffic's pickin' up.

It's early morning on April 23, 2026, right here in San Francisco Bay, and conditions are looking solid for a solid day on the water. Tides4fishing reports high tide in about 3 hours and 25 minutes, with the water rising steady—perfect for targeting structure as it floods in. Solunar activity is high today, so prime feeding windows around major periods mean fish are gonna be chowing down. Sunrise hits around 6:20 AM, sunset about 8:05 PM, giving us nearly 12 hours of daylight to work with. Weather's warming up with a new moon pulling things tight—BassForecast calls it epic-to-fair bite in the Southwest, including Cali bays, as waters heat and bass shift pre-spawn to spawn patterns. Expect aggressive fish early, slowing if winds pick up. Recent catches around the Bay and nearby Pacifica spots include striped bass pushing 5-10 pounds, halibut to 20 inches, leopard sharks, and limits of rockfish plus calico bass from half-day charters out of similar SoCal landings like Fisherman's Wharf analogs. Anglers yesterday pulled stripers on anchovies and pile worms for bait—live mudsuckers if you can net 'em. Top lures? Reaction baits like swimbaits or topwaters in chrome/blue for the warming surge; slow it down with smaller jigs or soft plastics on drops if fronts nudge in. Match the speed to the tide swing. Hot spots: Hit the incoming around the Golden Gate flats near Point Diablo for stripers ambushing bait balls, or drop lines off Pacifica's rocky points like Devil's Slide for sharks and halibuts—twilight overlaps tides there for bonuses.

Locals been pullin' limits of **striped bass** up to 10 pounds, plus **halibut** flats-bound, **leopard sharks** in the channels, and rockfish holdin' deep.

Solunar's average at 59, but overlap with sunrise ramps up the bite 'round 6:51 AM. Sunset's at 7:10 PM, moonset 11:10 AM, moonrise 9:36 PM—prime windows 6-8 AM and 6-8 PM. Weather's mild, overcast with light variable winds, highs pushin' 60s, lows near 50F like recent Douglaston reports suggestin' similar NorCal patterns. Water vis should be 3-4 ft, perfect for sightin' stripers. Fish activity's heatin' up post-spring rains. Locals report steady **striped bass**, **halibut**, and **leopard sharks** in the bay—22nd Street Landing outta San Pedro notes solid coastal hauls mirrorin' our action, with limits on schoolies and a few 20+ lb cows. Recent catches includin' steelhead runs up the tributaries, brown trout in freshwater inflows, plus perch and rays. Numbers are low density but quality—anglers landin' 2-5 per trip. Best **lures**: **Artificial Lure** swears by white swimbaits like Keitech 3-inch for halibut, chartreuse spoons for stripers, and 1/4 oz jigheads with grubs for sharks. Live **bait**? Anchovies or sardines on a Carolina rig, or ghost shrimp for perch. Fish the outgoing tide for aggressive hits. Hot spots: **Pier 7** under the Bay Bridge for easy striper access—drop a line right off the rocks. And **Candlestick Point** in the South Bay, where currents concentrate baitfish—launch kayaks or hit the shore at dawn. Rig light, 10-15 lb fluoro, and watch for seals stealin' your catch.

Fish the incomin' flood around mid-mornin' when bait gets pushed into shallows. Fish activity's heatin' up this spring—striped bass are on fire post-spawn, schoolin' stripers up to 10 pounds crashin' bait balls. Halibut are stackin' limits too, with reports of 20+ pounders from charter fleets like 22nd Street Sportfishing, who ran a halibut derby yesterday pullin' yellowtail and bass.

Recent catches: 50+ stripers, 30 halibut, and handfuls of rays from piers and boats last week, per local SF guides. Best lures? Chartreuse swimbaits or white grubs on 1/4 oz jigheads for halibut—mimic anchovies. For stripers, Rat-L-Traps in chrome or jointed diving plugs on the troll.

Weather's been a mixed bag: north winds pickin' up post-front, keepin' things choppy with clearer water in the shallows.

Fish the fallin' tide hard, especially two hours before and after—that's when they stack up. Action's heatin' up despite the breeze. Speckled trout are hangin' tight to oyster reefs, bridge pylons, and rocky edges—folks are pullin' nice 14-18 inchers, not huge numbers but quality bites. Puppy drum (black drum juveniles) are the stars right now, fightin' like champs near marshy spots. Redfish are cruisin' drains and shorelines, with some bull reds showin' at jetties. Sheepshead still bitin' but taperin' off. Best bets: live shrimp from local bait shops—perfect size and fresh. For lures, early mornin' topwaters at dawn, then soft plastics under poppin' corks. Gold spoons on the drop for reds, cut mullet or crab for the big boys. Lighter leaders on clear days, upsize after any rain. Hot spots? Hit the pylons around the Bay Bridge for trout, or Grand Isle jetties for reds if you're feelin' bold. Brannan Island's always solid for mixed bags. Stay safe out there—winds can kick up quick.

Best lures: chartreuse swimbaits or silver spoons for stripers and halibut—mimic baitfish in the murk. For rockcod and lingcod, drop heavy jigs like 8-12 oz铅头 with glow tips. Bait-wise, live anchovies or sardines on a Carolina rig can't be beat for sturgeon and bass; pile worms or shrimp for perch and rays. Hot spots: Hit the Emeryville flats near the marina for halibut on the flood tide, or drop lines off the Golden Gate rips for salmon and rockfish—watch currents there.

Bait-wise, live anchovies or sardines on a Carolina rig can't be beat for sturgeon and bass; pile worms or shrimp for perch and rays. Hot spots: Hit the Emeryville flats near the marina for halibut on the flood tide, or drop lines off the Golden Gate rips for salmon and rockfish—watch currents there. Rig up, stay safe, and get out there before the fog rolls in. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for daily updates! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

It's early Monday, April 13, 2026, around 3 AM Pacific, and I'm pumped to break down today's fishing scene right here in the Bay. Weather's lookin' iffy—Fish Emeryville reports no boats out yesterday due to rough conditions, with winds gustin' and some rain lingerin' from the weekend. Expect partly cloudy skies, temps in the low 60s daytime, coolin' to mid-40s overnight. Sunrise hits at 6:30 AM, sunset around 7:45 PM, givin' ya a solid 13 hours of light to chase 'em. Tides are key in the Bay: low tide at 4:15 AM (-0.2 ft), high at 10:30 AM (5.8 ft), then droppin' to low at 5:00 PM (1.2 ft). Fish the incomin' tide mid-mornin' when bait gets pushed in—currents stir up the striper and halibut action. Fish activity's heatin' up despite the weather. Fish Emeryville's got the Sea Wolf runnin' rockfish and lingcod today with spots open, and New Huck Finn light-loaded for full-day halibut/striped bass tomorrow. Recent catches include limits of stripers up to 20 lbs, halibut to 30 inches, plus solid rockfish and lingcod hauls. Leopard sharks are prowlin' shallow flats too, and early sturgeon reports from the south Bay. Best lures? Go with swimbaits like Keitech Swing Impact in chartreuse for stripers, or metal jigs like Colt Snipers for bottom bouncers—Polaris Supreme swears by 'em offshore, but they rip here too. Live bait shines: mudshrimp or anchovies on a Carolina rig for halibut, ghost shrimp for perch and sharks. Hot spots: Hit the Emeryville flats on the incomin' tide for stripers—anchor up and soak bait. Or try the Golden Gate rocks for halibut driftin' live anchovies; pressure's low midweek. Stay safe out there, rig tight, and wet a line! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more Bay bites! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

It's early morning on April 12, 2026, right here in San Francisco Bay, and conditions are prime for a solid day on the water. Tides today mirror patterns from nearby Ventura charts: expect a high around 5:42 AM at 4.8 feet, dropping to a screaming low of -0.2 feet by 1:32 PM—perfect for outgoing currents pulling baitfish into the mix. Incoming evening tide peaks near 8:23 PM at 3.3 feet. Fish the outgoing hard, especially mid-morning. Weather's cooperating: mild temps in the low 60s, light winds from the west under 10 knots, mostly sunny with a touch of fog burning off by 7 AM. Sunrise at 6:45 AM, sunset 7:40 PM—plenty of daylight to chase limits. Fish activity's heating up Bay-style. Recent reports from SoCal spots like Point Loma and Long Beach echo our local bite: yellowtail pushing 15-25 lbs hitting aggressive, plus rockfish, sculpin, sheephead, and halibut stacks. In the Bay, stripers are boiling on outgoing tides, halibut flattening mudflats, and sturgeon lurking deep channels. Limits of 10-20 rockfish per boat, with stripers to 15 lbs and halibut pushing 20 common last few days. Best lures? Chartreuse or glow swimbaits on drop-shot for halibut, silver spoons or trolling Rapalas for stripers. Live bait kings: mudsuckers or ghost shrimp on the bottom for sturgeon and butts, anchovies drifted for pelagics. Hot spots: Hit the Oakland Bar on the outgoing for stripers—anchor up and soak bait. Marin shorelines near Sausalito for halibut drifting sculpin rigs. Pier 7 or Alcatraz rips for quick rockfish limits. Rig tight, watch those tides, and stay safe out there.

Live anchovies or frozen sardines from Berkeley Marina Sportsmans Center; they're open early at 5 AM. Jig with 2-4 oz spoons near structure for stripers, or drift liveys for halibut. Hit these hot spots: Paradise Cay in the central bay for stripers on the incoming tide, or the Berkeley Flats for halibut drifts. Launch from Emeryville or Fish Emeryville ramps—free parking there.

Let me break down what's happening out on the water right now. **Tides and Conditions** We've got some excellent tidal action today. Low tide hit at 7:43 AM with a minus 0.3 foot reading—basically a negative tide, which means you're looking at optimal conditions for structure fishing. High tides came in earlier at 1:25 AM at 6.0 feet and we'll see another peak at 2:30 PM hitting 4.7 feet. Sunset's at 7:23 PM, so you've got solid daylight to work with. The solunar activity is running very high at 98, which tells us the fish are actively feeding right now. **Recent Catches** The striped bass and halibut bite has been solid. According to Fish Emeryville's latest report, the Lady K landed 16 striped bass and 2 halibut on yesterday's half-day trip. More importantly, a local angler targeting California halibut in the South Bay reported great action with one keeper and about 15 smaller ones in mid-March conditions. These fish are moving into the bay earlier than normal, so expectations are running high for end-of-March and April. **What's Working** For lures, match small to medium-sized baitfish profiles. Silver-bodied spinnerbaits with soft flex components are producing. If you're running live bait, focus on slow presentations near structure—rocky outcrops and submerged timbers where striped bass congregate. The experts recommend patience; let your bait work naturally and don't rush retrieves. **Hot Spots** Check out the Serra Zone in South Bay if you want deeper water and fewer crowds—night drift fishing there yields premium results. For easier access, Tilden Regional Park's North Beach offers solid night-crawfish jigging around submerged boulders and is very accessible. **Weather Note** Weak onshore flow continues today with slightly stronger conditions developing over the weekend, so dress in layers and expect variable conditions. The bite is happening right now. Get out there and make it count. Thanks for tuning in! Make sure you subscribe for daily updates.

It's early morning on this crisp March day, sunrise hit at 7:15 AM per Tides4Fishing charts, and sunset's around 7:20 PM—plenty of daylight to chase the bite. Solunar activity's pegged at 100% very high today, meaning fish are fired up, especially around major feeding windows near high tide. Tides are prime: midnight high at 5.2 feet, low at 5:34 AM with 1.1 feet, incoming to 11:50 AM high of 5.5 feet, then dropping to 5:48 PM at 0.2 feet. Fish the incoming tide hard—bait schools push in with it. Weather's typical Bay Area cool, foggy start clearing to partly sunny, winds light from the west under 10 knots. Recent counts from Fisherman's Landing show solid action nearby: Dolphin PM nabbed 13 sandbass and 43 sculpin yesterday for 21 anglers; AM trips hauling 55 sandbass, sheephead, and calico bass. Halibut popping too—3 legals on one trip—plus rockfish, whitefish, lingcod, and yellowtail further out. Striped bass are prowling shallows per Bay Area night fishing reports, with Reddit locals swearing by them in structure. Salmon's reopening soon with tight limits, so eyes on that. For lures, go silver spinnerbaits or soft plastics mimicking anchovies—deep-diving for bass, jigging spoons for rockfish. Live bait? Anchovies or squid strips on a Carolina rig kill it for stripers and halibut. Night crews rave about sheer silver lures under bridges. Hot spots: Hit the Marin Headlands rock pools for jackfish and spottail bass on the drop; or Serra Zone in South Bay for trophy stripers drifting deep. Launch from Emeryville or Nimitz—check regs, bag's tight on lingcod and halibut. Get out there before the fog rolls back—tight lines! Thanks for tuning in, folks—subscribe for more Bay bites.

That's a nice tidal swing that'll get the baitfish moving. According to the solunar activity forecast, today rates as HIGH for fish activity, so the fish should be actively feeding throughout the day. Sunrise is hitting around 7:20 AM and sunset's around 7:18 PM—you've got a solid 12 hours of daylight to work with. **What's Biting** Recent catches around the inshore areas have been solid. Barred surfperch are the bread and butter—these guys are the most frequently caught species in the shallow waters and along the surf line. You've also got spotfin croaker in the 5 to 6-pound range, which are solid fighters. Yellowfin croaker are hitting throughout the day, and corbina are showing up consistently. Don't sleep on the rays and sharks either—leopard sharks, bat rays, and guitarfish have been active. **Bait and Lures** For the surfperch and corbina, fresh mussels are your best bet, but ghost shrimp and bloodworms work great too. If you're targeting the croakers, piece of market shrimp or razor clams fished on the bottom will get you connected. For lures, small 4 to 6-inch grubs in root beer or motor colors are pulling fish, plus Berkeley Gulp has been solid. If you're chasing halibut, live anchovies or small smelt on a fish finder rig are your go-to. **Hot Spots** The inshore area from the surfline out to about the lifeguard tower is where the action's happening. You're looking at shallow water where the corbina, spotfin, and yellowfin are staging. The depressions between pilings are also prime ambush spots for halibut if you want to mix things up.

Jigs such as 1/2-2 oz Cripplers or knife jigs in glow or sardine patterns bounced off bottom. Live bait? Anchovies or herring if you can net 'em (25 lb limit per ODFW regs, schools thick nearby), or ghost shrimp/pile worms on a Carolina rig. Fish Emeryville says their tackle kits got you covered, rods for rent too. Hot spots: Hit the Emeryville flats near the peninsula for stripers and flatties—deep water close in.

Tides today from Tides4Fishing at Pier 41: High at 3:44 AM (5.6 ft), low around 9:26 AM (2.1 ft), then afternoon high at 3:04 PM (4.8 ft) dropping to 9:13 PM (0.7 ft). Fish Emeryville reports average solunar activity, so peak bites around dawn and dusk—time those incoming tides for the win. Weather's cooperating after some windy days, per Lawson's Landing: nice and calm forecast for the weekend, ocean temps holding at 56°F. Perfect setup for halibut and stripers kicking off their season. Fish activity's heating up! Fish Emeryville's Scallywag yesterday (3/7) with 6 anglers boated 2 halibut and 1 striped bass on a full-day trip. Lovely Martha out of Fisherman's Wharf on 3/7 nabbed 3 halibut plus shaker city on their season opener—beautiful weather, tons of action. Jacksmelt and surfperch popping shore-side, some Dungeness crabs showing but mostly shorts in Tomales Bay per Lawson's. Herring might be moving with pelicans diving heavy. Best baits: Anchovies or sardines on a sliding sinker rig for halibut and stripers. Live mudsuckers if you can snag 'em. For perch and smelt, bloodworms or small shrimp. Lures? Go with **swimbaits** like 3-5 inch Keitech in natural colors, or **jigs**—1/4 to 1 oz white or chartreuse for halibut drifting the flats. ** spoons** like Krocodile for stripers in the current. Hot spots: Hit the Emeryville flats or mudline off the Peninsula for halibut—anchor up and drift live bait. Fisherman's Wharf or the Slot near Alcatraz for stripers trolling or jigging. Shore? Try the piers at Pier 41 or Crissy Field for perch action. Bundle up, check your license, and get out there before the crowds. Thanks for tuning in, folks—subscribe for more Bay bites!

We’ve got a mellow, fishable pattern today. Light morning breeze building to typical afternoon west wind, mid‑50s to low‑60s on the deck, with partly cloudy skies. According to the National Weather Service for the central Bay, expect 5–10 knots early, bumping to 10–20 this afternoon with a bit of chop once that tide starts rolling. Sunrise slid in right around 6:30 local, with sunset just after 6:05, giving you a solid evening bite window. The tide tables from NOAA for the Golden Gate show a predawn high, a dropping mid‑morning tide, and a solid afternoon flood. Around here, that late‑flood into early slack has been the money tide for halibut and stripers along the edges. In the Bay, the early spring pattern is taking shape. Local charter reports out of Fisherman’s Wharf and Berkeley Marina say a few **California halibut** are already trickling in on the South Bay flats and near Alameda, with keepers mixed in with shorts. Striper action has been fair in San Pablo and central Bay, mostly schoolies with a few legals in the mix. Party‑boat rockfish and lingcod scores just outside the Gate have been good when the ocean lays down, with plenty of mixed rockfish and the odd double‑digit ling hitting jigs, as detailed by Deadliest Kast’s lingcod and rockfish trips out of San Francisco. Best baits in the Bay right now: - **Live anchovies** or shiners on a three‑way or slider rig for halibut - **Pile worms, ghost shrimp, or sardine strips** on a fish‑finder rig for bank striper and sturgeon - **Squid strips** for sharks and rays if you just want steady pull Best lures: - Drifting **hoochies or swimbaits** (white, anchovy, or root beer) on halibut rigs along the channel edges - **1/2–1 oz jigheads with 4–5" paddletails** for stripers around structure and current seams - Outside the Gate, **4–8 oz metal jigs** in white, green, or blue bounced tight to the bottom are putting lingcod and rockfish in the box, exactly what the coastal charter captains recommend. A couple of hot spots to aim for: - **Alameda / Oyster Point / South Bay flats**: drift the edges on the incoming for early halibut and the odd striper. - **Pier 7, Fort Point, and Crissy Field area**: good shore access for stripers, jacksmelt, and the usual rays; fish the moving water, not dead slack. - If the ocean is calm, just **outside the Golden Gate along the Marin and San Francisco coast** has been producing quality rockfish and lingcod on the reefs and pinnacles. Fish activity will ramp with that afternoon flood; plan to be set up and drifting when that tide really starts pushing. Keep an eye on wind vs. current so you’re not dragging gear sideways.

According to Tides4Fishing, San Francisco saw sunrise at 6:44 AM with sunset expected around 6:01 PM, giving us a solid 11+ hours of daylight. The tidal coefficient is climbing through the day, starting around 46 this morning but pushing toward 58 by evening—which means better current flow and increased fish activity as we move into afternoon sessions. **What's Biting** The word from Fish Emeryville is they've got boats running full schedules with halibut and striped bass leading the charge on half-day trips, plus deep water rockcod and lingcod for full-day adventures. These species are absolutely on the menu right now. Over in the broader region, Sacramento River Fall Chinook numbers are solid following excellent 2025 spawn returns—that's good news for ocean fishing opportunities this season. **Best Tactics and Lures** For striped bass, mimic small to medium-sized baitfish with silver-bodied lures and soft plastics. If you're night fishing (and conditions allow), focus on structure like rocky outcrops and submerged timber. Natural baits work too—live crabs and shrimp will get you leopard sharks and other bottom dwellers. **Prime Spots** Hit Tilden Regional Park's shoreline, especially the north beach area—it's underexplored and hosts solid bass populations. For something more accessible, Coyote Point Marina offers excellent bay access with reasonable tidal exchange. Thanks for tuning in to this report.

Weather's mild today—temps hoverin' around 55-62°F with partly cloudy skies, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, per the National Weather Service forecast. Sunrise hit at 6:42 AM, sunset's at 6:10 PM, givin' us a solid 11+ hours of daylight to chase 'em. Tides are key this time of year: NOAA reports a low tide at 4:17 AM (-0.2 ft), high at 10:22 AM (5.1 ft), then droppin' to low around 4:45 PM (1.8 ft). Fish the incomin' tide mid-mornin' when the current kicks up—bait gets swept right to the striper holes. Fish activity's heatin' up post-winter. Recent reports from Fishbrain and local forums like NorCalFishin show solid catches of striped bass (limits of 18-28 inchers), leopard sharks up to 5 feet, and halibut pushin' 20 pounds. Sturgeon are showin' too in the deeper channels, with a few keeper rays mixed in. Limits on stripers yesterday near the Golden Gate—anglers pullin' 5-10 fish easy. For lures, nothin' beats **chartreuse swimbaits** like the Big Hammer or Keitech Swing Impact on a 1/4 oz head—stripers crush 'em on the troll. **Metal jigs** in silver or glow for sharks at slack tide. Live bait? Mud shrimp or ghost shrimp on a Carolina rig for halibut, or pile worms for perch. Anchovies whole for sturgeon if you're driftin' the flats. Hot spots: Hit the **Embarcadero piers** for easy access stripers, or **Point Isabel** in Richmond for shore-bound shark action—both producin' limits lately.

We're looking at a solid day on the water. High tide is hitting around 11:39 AM at South San Francisco with a peak of 3.8 feet, so you'll want to time your run for mid-morning if you're targeting structure. The tidal coefficient shows moderate amplitude today, giving us decent current flow without getting too extreme. Sunrise was around 6:15 this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 7:11 PM, so you've got plenty of daylight to work with. The lunar activity is showing average to low conditions right now—not the hottest fishing day of the month, but still fishable if you work smart. For tackle, bring spoon lures—those classic Lucky Strike Devil Bait Spoons in yellow and red work great around the piers for stripers and rockfish. Stock up on live shrimp and crabs if you can find them. Fishery Supply's got good inventory and reasonable prices on whatever you need before you head out. **Hot spots:** North Point Pier 41 is firing right now—the structure there holds fish throughout the tide change. Down at South San Francisco, the shallower flats around low tide are prime for spotting stripers moving through. We've been seeing solid rockfish catches around the deeper structure, and stripers are active on the tidal transitions. Bring light to medium tackle and work the current breaks.

Solunar activity's low with a coefficient of 40, so fish might be a bit sluggish, but hit the outgoing tide around noon for best bites. Sunrise was at 6:46 AM, sunset at 6:00 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. Weather's classic late February: partly cloudy, temps in the mid-50s rising to low 60s, light winds from the west under 10 knots. Perfect for bundling up and casting without gettin' soaked. Fish activity's pickin' up post-winter. Fish Emeryville reports Captain Matt Archer released several big sturgeon—6 to 7-footers—yesterday on catch-and-release trips, with more runs through March. Halibut and stripers are staging for spring; rigs like the San Francisco Bay halibut bait setup are hot right now. Young Chinook salmon just got trucked into the Bay from Sacramento River releases, per KRCR news, boostin' the food chain. Limits? Sturgeon in double digits on good days, halibut up to 20-30 pounds, stripers 10-15 pounds common lately. Leopard sharks and rays fillin' gaps too. Best lures: Enrico Puglisi baitfish patterns on 20-pound leaders for stripers mimicking turtle grass forage. Jigs or swimbaits in chartreuse/white. Live bait? Mud shrimp or anchovies on a halibut rig—Performance Tackle swears by 'em for saltwater action. Powerbait floats work if you're shore-bound for whatever's prowlin'.

Weather's cooling with that atmospheric river vibe from Maven's Notebook—expect windy conditions, possible rain, and dropping temps around 55-60°F daytime. Bundle up, watch for chop. Bay action's heating up post-weekend. Delta reports from FishCaddy got largemouth bass firing on frogs in shallow mats and tules at low tide, especially San Joaquin side—2-3 pounders common. Chatterbaits in green pumpkin, crankbaits, and 6-inch Senkos on Neko rigs pulling numbers in 2-5 feet. Sturgeon still on from Fish Emeryville's Pittsburg runs. Leopard sharks and halibut drifting strong; grab a San Francisco Bay Halibut Drift Rig from local shops like Berkeley Marina Sportsmans. Recent counts echo sandbass, sculpin, calicos off SoCal boats via Fisherman's Landing and Sportfishing Report—similar bites pushing into the Bay. Chinook salmon returns up in Sacramento River per Golden State Salmon Association, hinting good ocean inflows. Best lures: chatterbaits, swimbaits, and jerkbaits for bass and halibut. Bait-wise, live mudsuckers or ghost shrimp for stripers and sharks; pile worms or anchovies for perch and rockfish. Hit these hot spots: Berkeley Flats at outgoing tide for halibut, or the Richmond side near Point Pinole for bass and stripers drifting live bait.

It's Sunday morning here in San Francisco Bay, tides4fishing.com shows a high incoming tide hitting around 3:34 PM at 4.0 feet after a low of 0.5 feet at 8:51 AM, with solunar activity rated high at 74—prime time for fish to feed as currents rip through the Golden Gate. Sunrise was at 6:50 AM, sunset 5:57 PM, so you've got a solid window before dark. Weather's classic February: cool and overcast with light winds from the west, temps hovering mid-50s—perfect for bundling up and wetting a line. Fish activity's picking up post-storm. Fish Sniffer reports poke-polers like Lawrence Ngai nailing greenling, monkeyface prickleback eel, and rock crab at low tide last month, while Flash Fishing's Captain Steve Talmadge limited out on bass and sharks from the bay recently. Sturgeon and halibut are staging near the mouth, with stripers pushing in on the flood—anglers tallying 10-20 fish days on herring chunks. Leopard sharks are hot too, schools thick around the flats. Best baits? Live mudshrimp or ghost shrimp for halibut and sturgeon—grab 'em from New Coastside Bait & Tackle in Pacifica. Anchovies or sardine heads on a sliding sinker rig for stripers. Lures-wise, go with white swimbaits like Big Hammer or spoons from Dancin Fish Baits for bass and sharks; match-the-hatch chartreuse grubs on jigheads during the outgoing.

Let's start with the tides. According to our tide charts, we're looking at a high tide at 1:45 AM and 5:8 feet, with a low tide coming in at 7:52 AM hitting just 0.7 feet. By mid-afternoon, we'll see another high around 2:18 PM at 4.5 feet. These are solid tidal conditions for getting out on the water—we're in a high coefficient period with plenty of water movement to get the fish active. Sun's already up at 6:51 AM this morning, and we'll have good light until 5:56 PM, so you've got a full day ahead of you. Now here's the exciting news: California's salmon fishing is bouncing back strong. The Sacramento River saw over 62,000 adult salmon return to spawn in 2025, compared to just over 4,100 the year before. That's a 15-fold increase, folks. Winter-run Chinook are also showing real promise with over 14,000 spawners returning in 2025. This means we could see a more normal salmon season here in 2026, and the Bay is absolutely worth hitting right now. Speaking of fish activity, the Mokelumne River just reported over 10,500 Chinook returning from the Pacific to spawn during the fall run. While that's down from record numbers, these are solid numbers that tell us fish are moving through the system. For your tackle box, live bait is always money in the Bay—ghost shrimp and frozen mackerel are working great this season. If you're going artificial, stick with your standard stripers and largemouth patterns. Focus on your topwater and soft plastics early and late in the day. Two hot spots I'd recommend: the Lafayette Reservoir just got loaded with 9,000 pounds of rainbow and lightning trout since November, and EBMUD's been restocking hard. You'll need your California fishing license plus an EBMUD Fishing Access Permit. Second spot—get out on the Bay proper where those returning salmon are moving through. The tidal windows we've got today are perfect for both structure fishing and open water. Thanks for tuning in! Make sure you subscribe for daily reports. This has been a Quiet Please production.

High tide rolls in at 1:18 PM at around 5.0 feet, with a low tide this morning at 7:00 AM at just 1.0 foot. According to Tides4Fishing, we're looking at a solunar coefficient of 94, which is very high—that means the fish are going to be active. Sunrise was at 6:52 AM and sunset's at 5:55 PM, so you've got a solid window to work with. **What's Biting** Over in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, largemouth bass are crushing it right now. According to FishCaddy's latest report, the bite has picked up noticeably with water temps hovering around 56-57 degrees. Early morning is prime time for topwater—poppers and smaller topwater baits are producing excellent results in slack water near current breaks. As the sun climbs and we hit 9-10 AM, switch to chatterbaits in green pumpkin with trailers, crankbaits, and six-inch Senkos around tule edges and islands in 2-5 feet of water. Stripers are settling in with predictable patterns, and Liberty Island's been one of the better zones for both species—shallow water under two feet tight to cover is where it's at. **Hot Spots** Liberty Island is your go-to right now for both largemouth and stripers. The shallow cover is holding fish tight, and chatterbaits are doing serious work. Also check out the protected coves and weed edges with current breaks—these are producing solid topwater bites early morning. **Pro Tips** Keep your soft plastics in natural tones for calmer pockets. Tournament weights are solid—low to mid-20s—so don't expect monster fish, but consistent quality bites. The morning bite is your money time, so get out there early.

Let's start with the tides. We've got high tide coming up at 11:41 AM at just over 5.7 feet—solid action time. Low tide hit this morning around 5:32 AM, and we'll see another low around 5:57 PM. The solunar activity is running at 96, which means "very high." That's exactly what we want to see mid-week. Weather-wise, sunrise was around 6:55 AM and sunset comes in at 5:53 PM, so you've got a solid eight-hour window to work with if you head out now. Here's what's been working. On the bait side, live minnows and worms are always reliable in these waters. If you're throwing artificials, downsized casting spoons in silver and gold have been producing. Slender stickbaits and realistic worm soft plastics are solid options too—especially when the bite gets a little finicky. The species we're targeting right now include jacksmelt, perch, and some decent-sized stripers if you hit it right. The bite's been steady when you position yourself over the right structure, so don't just camp in one spot. For hot spots, head to North Point Pier 41 if you want easy access and consistent action. If you want to get a little more adventurous, Del Valle Regional Park down south has been a sleeper pick—the Marina Store opens at 7 AM daily if you need to grab tackle or a license.

Conditions are looking pretty solid out here in the bay this Saturday morning. Let's start with the tides. We've got a high tide coming in at 8:50 AM sitting around 5.9 feet, with a low tide this afternoon at 3:54 PM near minus 0.4 feet. The tidal coefficient is holding steady at 61, which means we're in that average range—decent push but not extreme. The currents have been brutal the last few days with the full moon and king tides doing their thing, so if you're heading out, watch those flows. Sunrise broke around 7 AM, and we've got until about 5:48 PM to work with today, so plenty of daylight to get after it. Fish-wise, halibut, stripers, and perch are the stars right now as winter fishing heats up. Crabbing's been on the slower side inside Tomales Bay, but there's still consistent catching both from boats and shore. A few keepers are being landed, which beats nothing. For your setup, you'll want to rig up with live anchovies, sardines, and blood worms if you can grab them. Fresh bait's always your best bet this time of year. For artificials, work with halibut bounce ball rigs and standard striper presentations. Hit the deeper channels near Seaplane Harbor and check out the structure around the traditional halibut grounds—those are producing consistently right now.

Low at 2:19 AM hittin' 3.3 feet, high at 8:02 AM pushin' 5.7 feet, then low 3:19 PM at -0.2 feet, and evenin' high 10:39 PM at 4.5 feet. Solunar activity's low at 48, so fish might be a tad lazy, but that incoming tide mid-mornin' is your window. Weather's got some bite—NWS issued a Beach Hazards Statement through tomorrow with 14-19 foot breakers and rip currents on northwest shores, so watch Ocean Beach if you're surf castin'. Winds light but choppy nearshore. Fishin's heatin' up despite the winter chill. NorCal Fish Reports says crabbing and halibut are on fire lately, with optimism for salmon comin' soon. Longfin smelt showed up in San Pablo Bay per the State of the Estuary report—124 caught, highest in December, meanin' baitfish are drawin' predators. Locals report steady halibut flats action, stripers prowlin' shallows, and perch stacks in the 20-30 fish range per trip. Limits ain't rare if you hit 'em right. For lures, go with white or chartreuse swimbaits like Big Hammer or Keitech on 1/4-oz jigheads for halibut—mimics those smelt. Soft plastics or spoons for stripers. Live bait? Anchovies or sardines on a halibut rig are killin' it, per Central Oceans reports. Cut squid or ghost shrimp for perch. Hot spots: Paradise Cay in San Pablo for halibut on the drop-off, and the Richmond flats near inner harbor—tide predictions from NOAA show solid swings there. Fish the incoming around 8 AM, stay safe from those sneaker waves. Bundle up, check SF Bay Safe Fish Guide before eatin' your catch, and tight lines!

It's a crisp Sunday morning in San Francisco Bay, sunrise hit at 7:06 AM and sunset's around 5:42 PM per Tides4Fishing charts. Weather's looking mild from the National Weather Service—mostly sunny with light winds around 10 mph, highs in the low 60s, perfect for wetting a line. Tides today are low-key with a coefficient of 47, not the wild swings we saw earlier this month. Expect high at 3:38 AM (5.5 ft), low at 10:36 AM (1.2 ft), high at 5:15 PM (3.5 ft), and another low at 9:36 PM (2.7 ft)—fish the incoming around midday and evening for best bites, as solunar activity's average. Action's been solid lately. Yesterday's 976-TUNA reports tallied 15 boats with 447 anglers hauling 3335 sand dabs, 568 whitefish, 544 sculpin, 246 perch, 150 rockfish, and 136 others—mostly bottom dwellers crushing it offshore. In the Bay, stripers and halibut are stirring with these tides; kayak crews on NorCal Kayak Anglers forums report limits of starry flounder and a few keeper leopard sharks near the flats. Lingcod starting to show too. For lures, my Artificial Lures shine—go with white or chartreuse swimbaits like 3-inch Keitechs on 1/4 oz jigheads for halibut in 10-20 ft. Spoons like Krocodile in silver for rockfish. Live bait? Mud shrimp or anchovies on a Carolina rig can't be beat for stripers; pile worms for perch and sculpin. Hot spots: Hit the flats off Oyster Point for halibut on the move-in tide, or drop lines at the Richmond Flats for perch and whitefish—easy access, big payoffs.

Fish the incomin' tide after 9:30 AM when stripers and halibut start feedin' heavy—solunar peaks align right there for prime bites. Action's been solid lately. NorCalFishReports and 976-TUNA logs show striped bass strippin' lines near the Golden Gate, with limits posted on live anchovies and pile worms. Leopard sharks are stackin' up in the shallows, 20-30 pounders common on shrimp or cut sardine. Halibut hittin' 15-25 fishers daily 'round the flats, plus some Dungeness crab pots fillin' fast post-rains. Sturgeon reports tricklin' in from the delta edges, big girls over 100 pounds on ghost shrimp. Numbers? Boats like the Patriot wrapped up 45 fish limits last week, mostly bass and shadies. Best lures: Kastmaster spoons or Rat-L-Traps in chrome for stripers chasin' bait balls. Swimbaits like Big Hammer in natural colors for halibut. Field Kit Coastal Coldwater flies if you're striper flippin' from the surf. Live bait kings it—anchovies under a slip sinker, mudsuckers for sturge, or bloodworms on the bottom for perch and sharks. Hot spots: Pier 7 for shore striper slams on the flood, and Paradise Cay shallows for halibut driftin' the incoming. Launch early from oyster point, watch for crab pots.

High tide is hitting at 2:32 PM at 4.4 feet, with a low coming in at 8:12 PM around 1.4 feet. According to the tides forecast, we're sitting at a coefficient of 72, which means we're in that high activity zone—great for getting out on the water. Sunrise is at 7:08 AM and sunset at 5:40 PM, so you've got a solid afternoon window to work with. **Recent Catch Reports** Looking at the latest party boat scores from yesterday, the fishing's been producing. We're seeing strong numbers on sculpin—over 200 caught across multiple trips—along with solid whitefish action running around 100 fish. Sand bass are in the mix too with 43 landed. The New Seaforth down in San Diego reported 87 whitefish and 57 bonito on their half-day trip, which tells us baitfish are moving through the region. **What to Throw** For structure and rocky areas around the Bay, I'm recommending small shad patterns and live anchovies if you can get them. The sculpin bite suggests working soft plastics along the bottom in 20 to 40 feet. For sand bass, live mackerel or squid presentations are money right now. **Hot Spots** Get yourself out to the deeper channels near the Golden Gate—that's where you'll find the better-sized fish. The rocky areas around Alcatraz hold quality sculpin and will reward patience with better specimens than the shallows. Thanks for tuning in!

It's early Wednesday morning, February 4th, 8:25 AM, and we're lookin' at a classic winter day on San Francisco Bay. Weather's mild out there—temps hoverin' around 52°F now, climbin' to 58°F by afternoon, with partly cloudy skies, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, and a slim 10% chance of drizzle accordin' to the National Weather Service forecast. Sunrise was at 7:15 AM, sunset at 5:22 PM, givin' us about 10 hours of prime light. Tides are playin' nice today per NOAA charts: low tide hit at 4:47 AM at -0.2 feet, high comin' at 11:02 AM at 5.1 feet, then another low at 5:21 PM at 1.2 feet. Fish the incomin' tide hard from now till noon—that's when the current stirs up the baitfish. Action's been solid lately despite the chill. Striped bass are keyin' up on the move, with reports of 20-30 inch schoolies and a few linesiders pushin' 10 pounds hittin' limits around the Golden Gate and Oakland side. Halibut are showin' too, especially in 20-40 feet off Alcatraz—anglers pulled 5-15 pounders last weekend usin' live shiner minnows. Leopard sharks are hot in the shallows near Angel Island, slurpin' up mudsuckers, and a smatterin' of Dungeness crab limits from pots. Sturgeon sightings off Sausalito, but they're finicky—patience pays. For lures, my top picks are Rat-L-Traps in chrome/blue for stripers chasin' the tide rips, or swimbaits like Big Hammer in sardine pattern. Live bait? Anchovies or ghost shrimp on a Carolina rig for halibut and sharks—can't beat 'em fresh from the pier bait guys. Hit these hot spots: Pier 7 under the Bay Bridge for easy urban striper access, or the Marin side flats near Paradise Cay for halibut on the flood tide.

We've got some serious tidal action working in our favor right now. First, the tides. According to Tide-Forecast, we're looking at a high tide at 12:22 AM this morning at 5.41 feet, then a low tide hitting at 5:11 AM at 2.33 feet. That means we're in that prime window right now where the water's dropping, which gets the fish moving and feeding. This is exactly when you want to be on the water. Sunrise is hitting around 6:45 AM and we're looking at sunset at 6:00 PM, so you've got a solid day ahead if you get out early. Now here's what's been working lately. The 976-Tuna fishing reports from this past week show halibut are absolutely crushing it in the Bay. The Native Sun landed six legal halibut on one recent trip, and other boats are consistently pulling four to six per outing. We're also seeing solid calico and sand bass action, with some rockfish mixed in. Marina Del Rey had one trip with 218 sculpin, 85 sand bass, and 48 rockfish—so there's plenty of baitfish to target everything. For your setup, go with halibut-specific drift rigs if you can find them. Drop-shot finesse worms in natural colors are working, and don't sleep on live bait—the halibut are responding well to it. For the bass and rockfish, small paddle-tail swimbaits in green and pumpkin colors are producing solid bites. Best spots to hit today: Head over to Pier 39 area if the crowds don't bother you—consistent halibut action there. If you want something less crowded, fish the deeper channels around Treasure Island where the current's pushing through the channel. That's where the bigger halibut like to set up. Water conditions are solid right now. Beach hazards were reported yesterday with some sneaker waves, but conditions are calming down. We're in a good tide window, the fish are active, and everything's lining up. Thanks for tuning in to the report. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates.

Sunrise hit at 7:14 AM and we've got until 5:33 PM to work. According to the tide charts, we've got a high tide at 9:30 AM at 6.8 feet, followed by a low at 4:31 PM at -1.3 feet. These are solid swings that'll push baitfish and get the stripers and halibut moving. The solunar activity is running high at 84, which means the fish are gonna be aggressive. **What's Been Biting** Looking at recent reports from the Nor Cal fleet, the Dungeness crab have been absolutely crushing it around Emeryville—150 crabs on a single boat yesterday. If you're targeting bottom dwellers, sanddab and sand sole are steady producers. Over in Marina del Rey, they've been pulling sculpin, sand bass, and calico bass consistently. **What to Throw** For stripers in the Bay proper, grab yourself a white or chartreuse ChatterBait—they'll crush it around pilings and structure. If you're working shallower areas, a 3/4-ounce white bucktail jig does the trick. For bait, live anchovies are your ticket, but if you can't get live, fresh squid works solid for halibut and stripers alike. Don't sleep on crab—hand lines or pots around the deeper channels are producing big numbers. **Hot Spots** The Berkeley Pier and Emeryville Marina are firing right now with the tide pushing through. Mission Bay channels are loaded with sand bass and calico action if you want some faster-paced fishing. Get out there and make it happen. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe.

It's a crisp morning out here in San Francisco Bay on this late January day, with sunrise hitting at 7:25 am and sunset around 5:08 pm according to Tides4Fishing charts. Tides4Fishing shows a high tide at 2:51 am reaching 5.4 feet, low at 8:09 am dropping to 2.3 feet, next high at 1:52 pm at 5.3 feet, and evening low at 8:20 pm around even keel—perfect for working the outgoing current mid-morning when fish get active. Weather's mild for winter, think partly cloudy with temps in the low 50s rising to upper 50s, light winds from the northwest—classic Bay setup without the big chop. Solunar activity's rated high today, so expect solid bites during peak periods. Fish activity's picking up after some slow weeks. Local reports from NorCalFishReports and 976-TUNA note striped bass pushing in from the ocean, schooling up near the Golden Gate, with limits coming on outgoing tides. Halibut are holding in the channels, especially around the flats—anglers scored 10-20 pounders last week. Leopard sharks are hot too, cruising the shallows, and we've seen decent perch and rays. Recent catches include a mix: stripers up to 15 pounds, halibut averaging 8-12, plus some starry flounder. Numbers are good—boats tallying 20-30 fish days—but focus on quality over quantity. Best lures right now? Go with **swimbaits** like 4-inch Big Hammer whites or chartreuse for halibut and stripers; they mimic anchovies perfectly in the green water. **Jigs** in 1-2 oz white or glow for sharks and perch off the bottom. **Spoons** like Krocodile silver for stripers ripping through the riprap. Live bait steals the show: mudsuckers or ghost shrimp for stripers and halibut, piledrivers or squid for sharks. Pile on the scent—fish are keyed in. Hot spots? Hit the **Berkeley Flats** for halibut on the outgoing, or **Paradise Cay** near the Richmond side for stripers ambushing bait balls. Launch early from oyster point or pier fish the flats. Bundle up, check your regs, and get out there before the crowds. Thanks for tuning in, folks—subscribe for more Bay bites! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

It's a crisp morning out here on January 28th, with sunrise at 7:16 AM and sunset around 5:30 PM according to Tides4Fishing charts. Tides today are looking solid: high at 6:31 AM hitting 6.4 feet, low at 1:59 PM dropping to -0.5 feet, then another high around 12 AM at 3.2 feet and evening low at 9:30 PM to 4.4 feet. Average solunar activity means decent fish movement, especially around those peaks. Weather's got some punch—NWS San Francisco issued a Beach Hazards Statement through January 30th with long-period westerly swells kicking up rip currents, sneaker waves, and breakers to 19 feet along the coast and bay shores. Stay cautious out there, no hero launches. Bay fishing's been steady but not red hot lately. Nor Cal Fish Reports and local chatter point to striped bass pushing in with the tides, limits of 18-24 inchers on the flats, plus sturgeon showing in deeper channels—folks pulling 40-60 pounders on herring. Leopard sharks are active too, schools hitting 5-10 per angler near the piers. Halibut starting to wake up around the incoming tides, and a few Dungeness crab pots filling up legal males. Bass reports from nearby spots like Camp Far West are slow at 2-5 fish per trip, but bay rockfish and whitefish are grabbing bottom rigs. For lures, my top picks are **swimbaits in chartreuse or motor oil** for stripers—work 'em slow over the drop-offs. **Jigs with soft plastics** like grubs for halibut and sharks. Live bait? Mud shrimp or ghost shrimp rules for perch and bass; pile on the herring for sturgeon. Anchovies on a sabiki for rockfish limits.

It's Monday, January 26th, and we're lookin' at a solid day on the water in San Francisco Bay. Sunrise hits at 7:18 AM, sunset around 5:27 PM, givin' us about 10 hours of light to chase bites. Tides4fishing charts show high tide at 4:36 AM reachin' 6.0 ft, low at 11:43 AM droppin' to 0.6 ft, then evenin' high at 6:46 PM with 3.6 ft and another low at 10:42 PM at 2.8 ft. Tidal coefficient's average at 53, so currents'll be moderate—perfect for bottom bouncers. Solunar activity's fair, with major bites likely mid-mornin' and late afternoon. Weather's mild for late January, expectin' partly cloudy skies, temps in the low 50s, light winds from the northwest—NOAA-style conditions without the gales. Fish are active post-weekend; 976-TUNA reports from Jan 25th tallied 843 sculpin and 313 whitefish across 15 Bay Area trips with 425 anglers. Sculpin dominated, but whitefish and some rockfish like that monster 10.25-pound canary out north are showin' up. Striper action's pickin' up in shallows, and perch are steady. For lures, go with **jigs tipped with squid or worms** for sculpin and rockfish—they're hammerin' 'em deep. Hoochies or anchovy rigs shine for any roamin' salmon stragglers trollin' 2-4 knots. Live bait? Mud shrimp or ghost shrimp for stripers and perch; pileperch love 'em too. Hit these hot spots: **Emeryville flats** for sculpin limits from piers or boats, and **the pocket near the Golden Gate** where currents concentrate baitfish.

Sunset's at 5:25 PM, giving you a full daylight window under partly cloudy skies, temps in the mid-50s with light northwest winds per local forecasts. Bay's been consistent lately—NorCal Fish Reports and Fish Emeryville logs from mid-January highlight strong crab pots pulling limits, sand dabs stacking up in 40-80 feet off the embarcadero, and sculpin hitting steady on the bottom. Spreaker's latest bay report confirms excellent crab, dab, and sculpin bites through January, with some striped bass and halibut showing in the outgoing flows. Limits of 20-50 dabs per rod, crabs boiling over, and sculpin in doubles—perch popping too, though that yellow perch news was from Idaho, not here. For lures, go Lucky Craft Wander Slim 110 or swimbaits in natural patterns for halibut cruising the flats; spoons and jigs for bass. Best bait? Anchovies or sardines on the rig for dabs and sculpin, herring chunks for stripers, and traps loaded with chicken livers for those monster crabs.

Let's get into it. **Tide and Conditions** We're looking at a solid Friday here on the Bay. Sunrise hit at 7:20 this morning, and we've got sunset coming in around 5:24 pm, so get out there while we've got daylight. The tidal forecast shows a high tide this morning at 2:55 am—yeah, you missed that one—with the next high at 2:09 pm. Low tide hit around 8:13 am, so we're in that sweet spot right now where the water's pushing. Over in Pacifica, they're seeing high tides at 7.12 feet and lows around 3.58 feet—solid conditions for getting bait moving. **What's Biting** Word from the recent reports is that crabs and dabs are still going strong throughout January. You've got sculpin, calico bass, leopard sharks, and striped bass all in the mix right now. The Bay's been productive, especially for crabbing and clamming if you're into that scene. Just remember to check the ODA Shellfish Safety page before you head out. **Your Setup** For tackle, you're going to want to work with live bait when possible—anchovies and herring are your bread and butter in the Bay. If you're going artificial, stick with small shads and soft plastics in natural colors. The leopard sharks we've been seeing respond well to live bait presentations. **Hot Spots** Hit up the pilings around Emeryville—that's where the action's been consistent. Fish Emeryville's been putting folks on crabs and dabs regularly. South San Francisco near the marina is another solid bet with decent tidal exchange. Thanks for tuning in to the Artificial Lure report! Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss tomorrow's breakdown. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease.ai.

It's Wednesday, January 21st, and we're lookin' at a solid day on San Francisco Bay. Sunrise hits at 7:21 a.m., sunset around 5:22 p.m., givin' us about 10 hours of light to chase 'em. Tides4fishing.com charts show high solunar activity today with a coefficient of 83—pretty high. First high tide at 1:37 a.m. reachin' 5.0 ft, low at 6:31 a.m. to 2.5 ft, then high again at 12:29 p.m. to 5.7 ft, and evenin' low at 7:01 p.m. to -0.4 ft. Fish the incomin' tides mid-mornin' and afternoon when they're feedin' hard. Weather's typical winter mild—mid-50s, partly cloudy, light winds from the west per local forecasts. Water temps hoverin' in the low 50s, perfect for stripers and halibut lookin' for comfort zones. Recent reports from 976-TUNA and NorCalFishReports got boats out of Emeryville haulin' in sand dabs by the buckets—over 4,600 on one day last week—plus sculpin and limits on rockfish. In the Bay, sturgeon are showin' in the shallows, stripers crashin' bait schools, and perch stackin' up. Limits on halibut too from piers like Oakland. Crabs are open north of us after delays, but stick to pots if you're tryin'. For lures, sling **swimbaits** like 3-inch Keitech in pearl or sardine—killer for stripers. **Jigs** with curly tails or **spoons** in chrome for perch and halibut. Live bait? Mud shrimp or ghost shrimp on a Carolina rig shines; pile worms for anything bitin'. Frozen anchovies if you're boat-bound. Hot spots: Hit the **Emeryville flats** at mid-tide for halibut, or **Pier 7** in the city for perch and stripers from shore. If you're striper huntin', try the **South Bay channels** near Dumbarton.

Tides4fishing.com charts show high solunar activity today with a coefficient of 83—pretty high. First high tide at 1:37 a.m. reachin' 5.0 ft, low at 6:31 a.m. to 2.5 ft, then high again at 12:29 p.m. to 5.7 ft, and evenin' low at 7:01 p.m. to -0.4 ft. Fish the incomin' tides mid-mornin' and afternoon when they're feedin' hard. Weather's typical winter mild—mid-50s, partly cloudy, light winds from the west per local forecasts. Water temps hoverin' in the low 50s, perfect for stripers and halibut lookin' for comfort zones. Recent reports from 976-TUNA and NorCalFishReports got boats out of Emeryville haulin' in sand dabs by the buckets—over 4,600 on one day last week—plus sculpin and limits on rockfish. In the Bay, sturgeon are showin' in the shallows, stripers crashin' bait schools, and perch stackin' up. Limits on halibut too from piers like Oakland. Crabs are open north of us after delays, but stick to pots if you're tryin'. For lures, sling **swimbaits** like 3-inch Keitech in pearl or sardine—killer for stripers. **Jigs** with curly tails or **spoons** in chrome for perch and halibut. Live bait? Mud shrimp or ghost shrimp on a Carolina rig shines; pile worms for anything bitin'. Frozen anchovies if you're boat-bound. Hot spots: Hit the **Emeryville flats** at mid-tide for halibut, or **Pier 7** in the city for perch and stripers from shore. If you're striper huntin', try the **South Bay channels** near Dumbarton. Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

High tide hits at 11:08 AM at 6.2 feet, with the next low at 5:58 PM at -0.8 feet. According to Tides4Fishing, the solunar coefficient is sitting at 80—that's high activity, folks. Sun's up at 7:22 AM and down at 5:20 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to work with. **Recent Action** Yesterday was solid across the fleet. Fish Emeryville reported the Pacific Pearl brought in 190 Dungeness crab, 8 Petrale sole, and 360 sanddab on a full day trip. Over the weekend, 22 party boat trips landed 3,800 sanddab and 1,218 sculpin combined. That's the kind of consistency you want to see heading into the week. **What's Biting** Dungeness crab continues to dominate the inshore scene—they're thick right now if you're working the rocks. Sanddab are absolutely schooling in deeper water. For variety, target those sculpin around structure and kelp beds. The cooler water temps are prime for halibut too if you're working sandy flats. **Technique & Bait** Crab nets baited with squid or mackerel will load your cooler near the shore. For sanddab, drop small white jigs or spoons—they crush them. Live anchovies work magic for sculpin and bottom feeders. If you're throwing artificials, white and yellow soft plastics mimic the baitfish perfectly in this murky January water. **Hot Spots** Get out to the Rocks near Land's End or the jetties—crab's been insane there. For sanddab and sculpin, work deeper channels around 40-60 feet; the Pacific Pearl's numbers prove it's happening out there. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure you subscribe for daily updates.

Sunrise was at 7:22 AM, sunset hits at 5:19 PM, so you've got a full day ahead. The tide swung high at 10:29 AM at 6.2 feet, with a low coming at 5:27 PM around -0.8 feet. That morning high tide's perfect for stripers—they're pushing into the shallows on the flood right now, and that's your window. **What's Biting** The Emeryville fleet just crushed it yesterday with 180 Dungeness crab, plus solid numbers on sanddabs and petrale sole. We're talking quality winter fishing here. Stripers are the headline act—schools are aggressive and moving shallow as the tide pushes in. Halibut's in the mix too if you're out deeper. **Gear Up** For stripers, throw white or chartreuse swimbaits—Big Hammer or Keitech 4-inch work deadly—or go with jerk minnows. If you're crabbing, standard pots and nets are your friends. Fresh bait like herring strips works great for the groundfish. **Where to Be** Get out to Pier 41 at North Point or the Emeryville docks—that's where the boats are loading up. The action's been consistent, and you'll have plenty of company and local intel. Water's running strong at 6.2 feet on the high, so respect the tidal movement. This is premium winter fishing, folks.

It's a crisp Saturday morning in San Francisco Bay, sun's up at 7:23 AM and sets at 5:18 PM today. Tides4fishing.com charts show low tide hit around 3:57 AM at 3.3 feet, high at 9:50 AM peaking 6.2 feet—perfect incoming current for chasing stripers and halibut right now. Coefficient's average at 69, with solunar activity ramping up for solid bites through midday. Weather's cooperating after those early January rains—no major storms, just cool temps in the 50s, light winds from the west. Fish activity's been steady despite tough Delta reports; San Francisco Estuary Institute notes pelagic declines like Delta smelt crashing to near zero, but bay stripers, halibut, and sturgeon are holding. NorCalFishReports and 976-TUNA logs from Emeryville boats last week tallied halibut, Dungeness crab (limits easy), petrale sole, sanddabs, even bonito and sculpin offshore. Party boats out of Emeryville pulled 1 halibut, 170 crab, 10 sole on recent full-day runs. Stripers are key now—schools pushing into shallows on the flood. Best lures: white or chartreuse swimbaits like Big Hammer or Keitech 4-inch, or jerk minnows in anchovy patterns. For bait, pile on live mudsuckers or ghost shrimp near structure; frozen anchovies work great drifted. Crabbing's hot too—chicken livers or squid in traps. Hit these hot spots: the Emeryville flats off the marina for halibut on incoming, or Paradise Cay in the North Bay for stripers around pilings. Launch early, watch for mud from recent flows.

It's Friday morning in San Francisco Bay, sun's comin' up at 7:23 AM and settin' at 5:17 PM today—plenty of daylight for a solid session with 9 hours and 42 minutes of it. Tides are pumpin' with a coefficient of 61, average but movin' good: low at 3:18 AM (3.4 ft), high at 9:10 AM (6.1 ft), low at 4:22 PM (-0.5 ft), and high at 11:45 PM (4.6 ft). Fish the incomin' after that mornin' low or the afternoon flood—currents will stir 'em up around the structure. Tides4Fishing charts show these ranges match the max highs near 7.5 ft we've seen lately. Weather's classic winter Bay: mild temps in the 50s, light winds from the northwest per National Weather Service forecasts, no big swells. Bundle up, but it's fishable from shore or boat. Action's heatin' up post-holidays. 976-TUNA reports from Wednesday had 9 boats with 250 anglers pullin' 332 sculpin, 260 bonito, and 138 assorted—limits on rockfish and lings out the Gate. Locals at Fish Emeryville are hammerin' striped bass, halibut, and perch in the shallows; recent hauls include fat stripers on piles near Emeryville. Canary rockfish are showin' huge too—a NorCal angler just nabbed a 10.25-pounder that might shatter records. Sturgeon lurkin' in the channels on the bigger tides. Best lures right now? Jigs like 2-4 oz bucktails in chartreuse or white for rockfish and lings—bounce 'em off the bottom. Swimbaits or spoons for stripers chasin' bait balls. Live bait shines: mudsuckers or ghost shrimp on a Carolina rig for sturgeon and halibut, pile worms for perch and bats. Anchovies whole for stripers. Hit these hot spots: Alcatraz Island for rockfish drop-offs—troll or anchor upcurrent. And the Emeryville flats or Oakland Middle Harbor piers for stripers and perch; incoming tide there is gold.

We're looking at a classic winter bay pattern setting up nicely. According to the latest tide data from NOAA, sunrise comes in at 7:24 AM and sunset at 5:12 PM, so you've got a solid eight-hour window to work with. The tide is currently low, with the first high tide hitting around 6:15 AM and the next low tide at 1:38 PM. Water heights are running modest, so it's a perfect day to work the shallower flats and structure. Yesterday was fired up out here. San Francisco Bay and the surrounding waters saw excellent activity. Over at Marina del Rey, two trips brought in 530 total fish—218 sculpin, 155 whitefish, 100 mackerel, 30 rockfish, 15 calico bass, 9 sand bass, and 3 sheephead. Down at Pierpoint Landing, six trips landed 366 fish, including 132 bluefin tuna and 188 sand bass. The stripers and resident species are definitely biting. For your gear, stick with dropper loops rigged with squid and shrimp—that's what's producing the numbers right now. If you're throwing artificials, focus on small jigs and soft plastics in white and natural colors. The whitefish and sculpin populations are super active on the bottom, so don't sleep on drop-shotting. For live bait, anchovies and small mackerel are your go-to. Target Pier 39 and the pilings along the Embarcadero—the structure holds baitfish and predators. If conditions allow, work your way out toward the Golden Gate current line where the bigger stripers and halibut are staging. Beach Hazards Statement is in effect, so watch for sneaker waves and strong rip currents. Keep it safe out there. Thanks for tuning in. Make sure you subscribe for daily reports.

We’ve got a classic winter bay pattern lining up. According to Tides4Fishing for San Francisco, sunrise is around **7:24 a.m.** and sunset about **5:11 p.m.** today, so your prime windows are first light through mid‑morning and the last two hours before dark. Tidal swing is backing off; Tides4Fishing shows a **high tide around 5:32 a.m. at about 5.6 ft** and a **midday high around 12:41 p.m. just over 1 ft**, with a **low this evening around 7:25 p.m. at 3.6 ft**. That weaker movement means you’ll want to key on the steeper parts of the curves, not the slack. Weather-wise, the Bay is sitting in a cool, light‑wind winter pattern: air in the low 50s in the morning, creeping into the high 50s/low 60s by afternoon, with typical patchy fog early and a light northwest breeze building late morning. Think layers and a windproof shell; cold fingers mean missed bites. Fish activity is typical January: slower overall, but very catchable if you fish smart. Striped bass in the Central Bay are still chewing on the tide changes—more schoolies than cows, but enough legals to keep it interesting. The crab fleet out of Emeryville is still putting up numbers; NorCalFishReports shows party boats like the Pacific Pearl scoring **full limits of Dungeness crab** yesterday, which tells you there’s plenty of life and forage in that water. On the lure side, this is **small and subtle season**. For stripers and halibut in the Bay: - Best **lures**: - 4–5" paddletails in smelt, anchovy, or white on 1/2–1 oz jigheads. - 1–1.5 oz chrome or pearl spoons yo‑yoed near the bottom on the outgoing. - Slim metal jigs for deeper channel edges when the tide’s pushing. - Best **bait**: - Live or fresh anchovies if you can get them. - Grass shrimp and pile worms for piling‑hugging stripers and perch. - Squid strips or herring chunks on a hi‑low for mixed bay bottom fish. Recent counts around the region, via NorCalFishReports, show boats loading up on **crab limits out of Emeryville** and good mixed‑bag bottom fishing on the coast—rockfish, sanddabs, and a few lingcod before the closures kicked in—which tracks with the cooler but stable water. Inside the Bay, private boaters have been picking a mix of **schoolie stripers with a handful of keepers per boat**, plus the odd **legal halibut** for those grinding the flats when the sun warms the shallows a touch. A couple of local **hot spots** to circle: - **Alameda Rockwall / Encinal Flats**: Great striper lane on the outgoing; slow‑troll swimbaits just off the rocks or drift live bait when you’ve got some current. - **Crissy Field to Fort Point line**: When the flood is rolling and the wind isn’t howling, bounce 1–1.5 oz swimbaits along the contour; schoolie stripers and the occasional winter halibut cruise that edge. If you’re shore‑bound, the **Pier 7 and Ferry Building area** can still kick out schoolie stripers and pile perch on shrimp and worms, This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

That weaker movement means you’ll want to key on the steeper parts of the curves, not the slack. Weather-wise, the Bay is sitting in a cool, light‑wind winter pattern: air in the low 50s in the morning, creeping into the high 50s/low 60s by afternoon, with typical patchy fog early and a light northwest breeze building late morning. Think layers and a windproof shell; cold fingers mean missed bites. Fish activity is typical January: slower overall, but very catchable if you fish smart. Striped bass in the Central Bay are still chewing on the tide changes—more schoolies than cows, but enough legals to keep it interesting. The crab fleet out of Emeryville is still putting up numbers; NorCalFishReports shows party boats like the Pacific Pearl scoring **full limits of Dungeness crab** yesterday, which tells you there’s plenty of life and forage in that water. On the lure side, this is **small and subtle season**. For stripers and halibut in the Bay: - Best **lures**: - 4–5" paddletails in smelt, anchovy, or white on 1/2–1 oz jigheads. - 1–1.5 oz chrome or pearl spoons yo‑yoed near the bottom on the outgoing. - Slim metal jigs for deeper channel edges when the tide’s pushing. - Best **bait**: - Live or fresh anchovies if you can get them. - Grass shrimp and pile worms for piling‑hugging stripers and perch. - Squid strips or herring chunks on a hi‑low for mixed bay bottom fish. Recent counts around the region, via NorCalFishReports, show boats loading up on **crab limits out of Emeryville** and good mixed‑bag bottom fishing on the coast—rockfish, sanddabs, and a few lingcod before the closures kicked in—which tracks with the cooler but stable water. Inside the Bay, private boaters have been picking a mix of **schoolie stripers with a handful of keepers per boat**, plus the odd **legal halibut** for those grinding the flats when the sun warms the shallows a touch. A couple of local **hot spots** to circle: - **Alameda Rockwall / Encinal Flats**: Great striper lane on the outgoing; slow‑troll swimbaits just off the rocks or drift live bait when you’ve got some current. - **Crissy Field to Fort Point line**: When the flood is rolling and the wind isn’t howling, bounce 1–1.5 oz swimbaits along the contour; schoolie stripers and the occasional winter halibut cruise that edge. If you’re shore‑bound, the **Pier 7 and Ferry Building area** can still kick out schoolie stripers and pile perch on shrimp and worms, This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 247 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4082600174 This is Artificial Lure with your San Francisco Bay fishing report. We’ve got a classic winter pattern in the Bay this morning. According to tides4fishing and Tide-Forecast, we’re on a **moderate tide**: a pre‑dawn high around 2:45–2:50 a.m., dropping toward a mid‑morning low near 9:30 a.m., then building into an evening high. That gives you a decent **outgoing push at first light** and a softer afternoon flood. Tides4fishing lists sunrise at about **7:25 a.m.** and sunset around **5:10 p.m.**, so your prime windows are first light through mid‑morning drop, and then that late‑afternoon “get home” tide. Weather around the City is stable winter bay conditions: cool morning in the low 50s, light north–northwest breeze early, picking up modestly mid‑day, with scattered high clouds and good visibility. That means an easy ride for the party boats and comfortable conditions for pier and bank anglers. NorCalFishReports shows the local fleet still leaning into **winter bottom action and crab combos**. Out of Emeryville, the Pacific Pearl checked in yesterday with **170 Dungeness crab and 104 sanddab for 17 anglers**, a full‑limit crab whack and steady dab picking. That’s been the main game: **limits of crab** plus sacks of sanddab and mixed bottom fish. California Department of Public Health is reminding sport crabbers not to eat the **viscera (guts) of sport‑harvested Dungeness** due to domoic acid concerns, but the meat is currently allowed when you clean them properly. Inshore, expect **stripers** to be spotty but still around the usual current breaks and rock edges, especially around the South Bay bridges and the Oakland shoreline. Winter **halibut** are a scratch bite inside, but there’s always a chance at a resident fish on a slow‑rolled bait near the channel edges when that tide just starts to move. Sanddab are thick just outside the Gate on the sandy flats, with some smaller rockfish mixed in on rougher bottom. For **lures**, this is a finesse, low‑light deal. Inside the Bay for stripers, run: - 4–5" **paddletail swimbaits** in shad or anchovy on 1/2–1 oz jigheads - 1–1.5 oz **hair raisers** in white or chartreuse - Smaller **metal spoons** when the current is ripping For **halibut**, think slow and close to bottom: - Natural‑colored swimbaits and flukes on 3/4–1 oz heads - Slim profile metals like Lucky Craft‑style wanders and jigs worked just off the sand If you’re on a crab/dab combo, stick with the basics: - For **crab**: squid strips, fish carcasses, or oily bait in snares and traps - For **sanddab**: small strips of squid or anchovy on high‑low rigs with 1–2 oz of lead; they’re not picky, just keep it on the sand. A couple of **hot spots** to key on today: - **Alcatraz / Angel Island triangle**: work the edges of the channels for a shot at winter stripers and the odd halibut during the outgoing. - Just **outside the Golden Gate** on the sandy flats off the shipping channel: wide‑open sanddab, and crab gear stacked along the This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re coming off a big king tide cycle and a run of wet storms, so the bay’s got some color and plenty of moving water. ABC7 and NOAA both note an exceptionally wet pattern lately, with high reservoirs and recent record king tides pushing extra debris and turbidity around the estuary. That off‑green water is actually good for stripers and halibut if you hit the current breaks. According to Tides4Fishing, the bay today sees a pre‑dawn high, a mid‑morning low, then another solid afternoon push. That first couple hours of outgoing after sunrise, and the first half of the afternoon flood, are your money windows. Same source pegs sunrise around 7:25 and sunset just after 5:05, giving you a tight winter bite window when the water warms a touch mid‑day. Weatherwise, NorCal outlets are calling for cool 50s, light winds in the morning, building breeze in the afternoon. Post‑storm skies mean chilly starts, so expect a slower early bite that ramps up when the tide and sun line up. Fish activity: inside the Gate, the winter mix is classic – schoolie striped bass, resident halibut for the patient, jacksmelt, and a few late rockfish and lingcod for boats poking out along the edges when conditions allow. With commercial crab boats out again off Bodega, there’s renewed crab around the outer coast; that always draws forage and predators toward the Golden Gate on the big tides. Recent party‑boat chatter up and down the coast, summarized on SportfishingReport, shows solid rockfish and lingcod scores where boats can safely get to structure. Translate that locally: if you can run just outside the Gate on a calm morning, the reefs off Marin and the south bar edges still hold quality rockfish and the odd ling. Inside, pier and shoreline reports have been steady on small stripers and perch with the higher tide. Best lures: - For stripers: • 3–4 inch paddle‑tails in pearl/anchovy or chartreuse on 3/8–1/2 oz heads • 1–1.5 oz chrome jigging spoons around current seams - For halibut: • Slow‑trolled swimbaits or hoochies behind a drift sinker • Small metal spoons hopped along sandy bottom Best bait: - Stripers: pile worms, blood worms, or anchovy chunks on a hi‑lo rig - Halibut: live anchovy or shiner, or a fresh herring if the bait shows - Bay crab (where open and legal): crab snares with squid or oily fish; local shops are pushing six‑loop snares for Dungeness off the beach. Couple hot spots to try: - **Alameda Rockwall and Ballena Bay**: good winter striper lane on the outgoing, plus a shot at halibut on the sand edges. - **Fort Point to Crissy Field**: fish the lee and rips on the turn of the tide for bass and the odd halibut when the swell backs off. Work the moving water, keep an eye on that debris from the storms, and downsize your gear if the bite feels finicky in that cold bay water.

Let's talk tides first. According to NOAA Tide Predictions, we're looking at a high tide coming in at 12:08 PM at 6.5 feet, with the next low tide hitting around 6:58 PM at -1.2 feet. Sunrise was at 7:25 AM and sunset comes in at 5:06 PM, so you've got solid daylight for an afternoon session if you can get out there. The solunar activity is showing high numbers today—we're at an 89 coefficient, which means the fish should be feeding. The water's been clean and conditions are favorable. Recent reports from the North Cal Fish Reports show steelhead activity on the Trinity River is strong, with anglers pulling full limits of Golds, Blues, and Cutbows. Over in the saltwater scene, charter boats out of Marina del Rey and Long Beach have been crushing it with calico bass, whitefish, mackerel, and rockfish. We're talking 50-60 keeper calico per trip and solid bottom fish action. For tackle, the FlipFlop N' Socks 2-inch Paddle Tail Swim Baits are working great all around the Bay Area right now—versatile for multiple species. Live squid and shrimp on dropper loops are producing excellent results for whitefish and sheephead. Don't sleep on fresh anchovies either. My top spots for today: Hit the pilings around Fish Emeryville for crab combos and sturgeon action, or head out to the deep channels where the baitfish are schooling tight. The afternoon tide push should get everything moving. Thanks for tuning in to the report, folks. Don't forget to subscribe for daily updates. This has been a Quiet Please production.

It's early morning on this crisp Saturday, and San Francisco Bay is waking up under a coastal flood warning from CBS News with king tides pushing water over 2 feet above normal. Tides4Fishing charts show today's action kicking off with a high at 12:04 am at 5.1 feet, low at 4:19 am 3.1 feet, big high at 10:26 am 7.1 feet, and evening low at 5:29 pm -1.7 feet—very high solunar activity at 91, so fish are feeding hard around those peaks. Sunrise at 7:25 am, sunset 5:04 pm, with stormy winds and rain in the mix per local forecasts. Water's churning from these king tides, stirring up striper and halibut runs. Recent reports from 976-TUNA highlight solid catches down south like bonito, calico bass, whitefish, and perch, and we're seeing similar vibes here—anglers pulling in striped bass up to 10 pounds, leopard sharks, and rays near the Golden Gate. Sturgeon are lurking in the deeper channels too, with a few Dungeness crabs showing despite the delayed season. Limits aren't huge yet, but quality over quantity this winter. Hit the incoming tide mid-morning for best bites. Go with **live anchovies or sardines** drifted on a sliding sinker rig for stripers and halibut—they're crushing 'em natural. For lures, **swimbaits in chartreuse** or **jigs tipped with shrimp** are money, per Pacific Ocean reports; bonito smash surface irons too. Fish light leaders to dodge the sharks. Hot spots? Pier 41 off North Point for easy shore access and halibut, or the flats around Oyster Point on the outgoing for stripers—watch the floods though.

It's Friday morning, January 2nd, 2026, and the San Francisco Bay is kickin' with some wild conditions after those New Year's storms rolled through. Tides4fishing charts show a high incoming today: low at 1:54 AM around 2.1 feet, peak high at 8:24 AM hitting 6.7 feet, then dropping to -0.8 feet by 3:15 PM, and evening high at 10:15 PM near 4.7 feet. Coefficient's 86—high activity, so fish are movin' with the flood tides. Sunrise was at 7:07 AM, sunset around 4:50 PM, givin' us a solid 9.5-hour window. Weather's stormy per ABC7 News: heavy rain continuin' through the weekend, coastal flood advisories with high tides 1.8 feet above normal, possible thunderstorms in the South Bay. Bundle up, watch for surge floodin' roads and parks. Fish are bitin' despite the chop. Pierfishing.com's January report notes sturgeon catch-and-release only, Dungeness crab season wide open. California Dawn out of Berkeley boated 193 Dungeness, 10 lingcod to 15 pounds, and 200 rockfish yesterday—limits easy on full-day trips. Okuma Fishing reports stripers, halibut, salmon, and sturgeon active; recent sightings of Chinook in Alameda Creek tributaries after decades. Leopard sharks riggin' up hot too. PowerBait or mud shrimp for sturgeon and stripers on the bottom; anchovies or sardines live for halibut driftin' incoming tides. Best lures? Jerkbaits, swimbaits in chartreuse or motor oil for stripers, spoons or bucktails for rockfish and lings. Rapalas trollin' slow for any holdover salmon. Hit these hot spots: Coyote Point Marina for flats halibut on the rise, or Berkeley Flats for stripers and sturgeon near the piers—storm surge's pushin' 'em shallow. Stay safe out there, check regs, and release those big whites. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more Bay bites! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

It's New Year's Eve morning, December 31st, and we're lookin' at a solid day on San Francisco Bay. Sunrise hits at 7:25 AM, sunset around 5:01 PM, givin' us about 9.5 hours of light to chase bites. Tides4fishing.com charts show a high tidal coefficient of 72 today—pretty active currents. Expect low tide at 1:24 AM (2.9 ft), high at 7:51 AM (6.9 ft), low at 3:04 PM (-1.0 ft), and high again at 10:26 PM (4.6 ft). Fish the incoming around dawn and the outgoing afternoon for best action, as currents stir up the bottom dwellers. Weather's typical winter mild—check your local forecast, but expect foggy starts clearing to partly cloudy, winds light from the west under 10 knots. Bundle up, water temps hoverin' low 50s. Fish activity's hot on rockfish and whitefish right now. 976-Tuna reports from Tuesday, December 30th: 28 trips, 975 anglers boated 1751 rockfish, 1057 whitefish, and 987 assorted—limits common out of Emeryville and Sausalito. NorCalFishReports echoes it with Fish Emeryville crews pullin' 240 rockfish and Dungeness crabs per trip this week. Halibut flats are firin' too on outgoing tides, and sturgeon lurkin' in the deeper channels. Best lures? Go with swimbaits, jigheads tipped with squid or anchovy for rockfish—Motor Oil or Purple Haze colors killin' it. Spoons and flutter jigs for whitefish. Live bait like mudshrimp or ghost shrimp shines for halibut and perch; frozen bloodworms if you're shore-bound. Tides4fishing solunar peaks align with highs for major bites. Hot spots: Hit the rock piles off Alcatraz on the flood tide, or drift the flats near Angel Island for halibut. Pier 7 or the Emeryville marina launches are launchin' limits daily.

We’re on a solid winter swing in the Bay. Cool mornings, light northerly breeze, and mostly clear skies with a passing high cloud deck. Local forecasts around the City have air temps running mid‑40s at first light, climbing into the high‑50s to low‑60s by afternoon, with only a light chop on the Central Bay and leeward shorelines. According to Tides4Fishing for San Francisco, we’ve got a classic winter big‑water cycle: a **morning high around 6+ feet just after sunrise, dropping to a mid‑day low around half a foot, then building back to a modest evening high**. That means best current windows are the first couple hours of the outgoing and the first push of the afternoon flood. Sunrise is right around 7:24 a.m., sunset close to 5:00 p.m., giving a tight winter feeding window. Fishingreminder’s solunar tables have today pegged as **average activity**, with stronger bites lining up with that morning high swinging to outgoing and the late‑afternoon flood. On the catching side, the party‑boat fleet is still leaning heavy on crab/rockfish combos. SportfishingReport’s Bay Area numbers from yesterday show boats like the New Huck Finn and California Dawn running near‑limits on **Dungeness crab and assorted rockfish**, with a sprinkling of **lingcod** in the mix. NorCalFishReports also logged San Francisco boats scoring **schoolie striped bass** in the Bay recently, mostly a half‑day deal with light loads. Species to focus on right now in and around the Bay: - **Striped bass** along shorelines, bridge pilings, and current seams. - **Halibut** action is slower but not gone; a few winter flats still coming from deep edges on the flood. - **Rockfish and lingcod** outside the Gate and along the Marin headlands. - **Crab** pots and hoop nets still producing solid numbers off Marin and Ocean Beach when the swell cooperates. Best offerings: - For stripers inside: - **Bait:** live or fresh‑dead anchovy, pile worms, and grass shrimp on a sliding sinker or high‑low. - **Lures:** 4–5" paddletails in anchovy or smelt colors on ½–1 oz heads, white bucktail jigs, and 3/4‑oz metal spoons jigged around structure. - For rockfish/lingcod: - **Bait:** squid strips and sardine chunks on shrimp‑flies or double‑dropper loops. - **Lures:** 4–6 oz chrome or glow **ling jigs**, big swimbaits in root beer or white, and shrimp‑fly rigs tipped with squid. - For halibut (if you hunt them): - Drifting **live anchovy or herring** on a three‑way, or slow‑trolling herring trays when you can find bait. Couple of local hot spots to hit: - **Berkeley Flats / Alcatraz side:** Work the edges in 25–40 feet on the start of the outgoing for winter bass and the odd halibut. - **Richmond shoreline / Ferry Point to Brooks Island:** Good current lanes for stripers on swimbaits, especially on that first push of the flood. - **Outside the Gate, Marin Coast:** If you’re on a six‑pack or party boa This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It's a crisp winter morning in the Bay, sunrise at 7:24 AM and sunset at 4:58 PM per Tide-Forecast.com, so get out early before those short days fade. Weather's calling for partly cloudy skies, light winds around 5-10 knots from the northwest, and temps hovering in the mid-50s—perfect for bundling up and wetting a line. Tides today from tides4fishing.com and Tide-Forecast.com: high at 5:40 AM reaching 5.86 feet, low at 12:20 PM down to 1.22 feet, high again at 6:33 PM at 3.78 feet, and overnight low at 11:30 PM at 1.91 feet. Solunar activity's average at 56, but those incoming tides around dawn and dusk will stir things up—fish the moving water for best bites. Action's been solid lately. 976-TUNA reports yesterday's 13 trips with 392 anglers hauling 1219 rockfish, 759 bonito, and 275 assorted—bonito on fire! Nor Cal Fish Reports and Fisherman's Landing echo limits of bonito, rockfish, sheepshead, and sculpin off the boats. Bay charters like Happy Hooker are targeting halibut and striped bass with live bait, and surf guys rigging drop shots for flatties per fishing forums. Striped bass are cruising the flats, rockfish stacking up near structure, and bonito slashing topwater. For lures, go with shiny metal jigs or featherweight sabikis for bonito and rockfish—those vibrations pull 'em in. Drop-shot rigs with swimbaits or minnow imitations shine for halibut. Live anchovies or sardines on a sliding sinker setup are killer bait for stripers and halibut; pile worms or shrimp for bottom dwellers. Hot spots? Hit the Oakland Bar or Alameda flats on the incoming tide for stripers, and troll the Golden Gate shallows or Paradise Cay for halibut—structure and current junctions are gold.

Recent counts from 976-TUNA and Fisherman's Landing are firing off: Yesterday, December 26th, trips tallied 370 bonito, 160 rockfish, plus calico bass, sheephead, and sculpin across nearly 100 anglers. Bonito are limits some days, rockfish steady, and word from Nor Cal Fish Reports has stripers and sturgeon cruising the Delta edges mixing with Bay waters. Even Chinook salmon sightings up Alameda Creek per CBS San Francisco—early runners pushing into the system. Bass are key too, with Wired2Fish calling the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta prime for largemouth and stripers thanks to that salty-fresh mix. Activity's high on short days; hit 'em aggressive. For lures, go artificials like my namesake—chrome spoons or Kastmasters for bonito and rockfish, mimicking baitfish in the current. Swimbaits and jigs shine for bass and stripers around structure. Live bait? Anchovies or sardines on a sliding sinker rig for everything from halibut to sturgeon; pile perch or ghost shrimp if you're pier-bound.

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 08:27:11 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things angling in the Bay Area. Merry Christmas Eve from the foggy shores of San Francisco Bay—it's December 24th, 8:26 AM, and we're lookin' at a classic winter bite despite that storm warning hangin' over us from the National Weather Service till 3 AM. Winds kickin' up, so bundle up and watch those swells. Sunrise hits at 7:23 AM, sunset 4:56 PM per Tides4Fishing, givin' us a solid 9.5 hours of light. Tides today: high at 2:27 AM reachin' 6.56 feet, low at 7:20 AM at 4.82 feet, then high again 1:22 PM around 5.3 feet, and evenin' low 8:14 PM droppin' to -0.3 feet. Fish the changin' tides hard—movin' water's where the action is, especially that outgoing evenin' low. Fish activity's hot off yesterday's 976-TUNA counts: 10 trips, 252 anglers pulled 650 bonito, 523 rockfish, 262 whitefish, 105 sculpin, 99 red snapper, and more. Lovely Martha out of SF nailed 270 Dungeness crab, 270 rockfish, 10 lingcod on a full-day run December 22nd.

Let's start with the tides. We've got a high tide at 1:08 AM this morning at 6.4 feet, and a low tide coming in at 5:39 AM at 4.86 feet. The tidal coefficient is sitting at 70, which means we're in that high activity zone—excellent conditions for moving fish and strong currents that'll push baitfish around. Sunrise was at 7:22 AM, so you're already missing that prime morning bite if you're just waking up. Sunset comes early at 4:55 PM, so plan your fishing window accordingly. The weather's looking a bit rough out there. We've got southwest winds at 25 to 30 knots easing to 20 to 25 knots after midnight, with seas running 11 to 15 feet. Rain's expected, so bundle up and bring your rain gear. These conditions actually get fish feeding more aggressively, so don't let the weather discourage you. Now for the good stuff—the fish reports. Over the weekend, the party boats were absolutely crushing it. We're talking limits of bonito and solid rockfish action on boats like the Dolphin out of Fisherman's Landing. They put up limits of 125 bonito with 178 rockfish on a recent AM trip. On Saturday, 36 trips brought in 3,002 rockfish, 1,562 bonito, and over 1,000 other species. That's serious action. For techniques, bring both your deep-water setups and lighter rods. Live bait and jigs are producing the best results right now. Bonito are responding well to lighter presentations, while your heavier jigs will get down to where those rockfish are holding in the deeper structure. I'd recommend heading to the Emeryville area or hitting up Fisherman's Landing in San Diego if you can make the drive. The reports coming out of both spots show consistent, quality fishing. The Bay itself around Pier 41 and the inner harbor holds plenty of action, especially with these strong tidal movements we're seeing. Get out there before sunset, keep your lines tight, and remember—these are premium conditions for active feeding fish. Thanks for tuning in, folks!

It's a crisp winter morning in San Francisco Bay, with sunrise at 7:21 AM and sunset at 4:55 PM today. Tides are pumping with a high coefficient of 71—low at 1:22 AM hitting 4.6 ft, high at 5:27 AM cresting 3.5 ft, then dropping low to 11:20 AM at 6.0 ft and evening low around 6:23 PM at -0.7 ft. Those strong currents from tides4fishing charts mean fish are active, especially around slack turns. Weather's calling for partly cloudy skies, light winds out of the northwest at 5-10 knots, temps in the mid-50s—perfect for bundling up and hitting the water without getting soaked. Action's been hot on the crab and rockfish front. NorCalFishReports dock totals from yesterday show boats like Lovely Martha out of SF hauling 280 Dungeness crab, 14 lingcod, and 280 rockfish for 28 anglers. Emeryville fleets like California Dawn and Salty Lady crushed 150-220 crab and matching rockfish per trip, plus lingcod up to 10 pounds and cabezon. A NorCal angler just smashed records with a 10.25-pound canary rockfish per AOL reports—monsters are out there! Rockfish limits are common, lingcod picking up, and crab traps firing now that whale delays lifted per SFGate. For lures, go deep with heavy jigs like 8-16 oz铅头 hooked with swimbaits or curly tails in green or chartreuse—mimic those baitfish schools. Top baits: live anchovies or sardines on a Carolina rig for stripers if you're shore-bound, but crab pots with herring chunks are killing it offshore. Shrimp or bloodworms for perch near piers. Hit these hot spots: the Farallon Islands for limits on rockfish and lingcod—Salty Lady scored big there—or Emeryville flats for easy crab combos.

Metal jigs like knife blades shine on the troll. Live bait? Mud shrimp or anchovies on a Carolina rig for stripers; herring strips for halibut. Crab pots loaded with chicken legs if you're trapin' Dungeness. Hot spots: Hit the Berkeley Flats or Emeryville mudline for easy limits from shore or boat—structure holds rockfish tight.

We’ve got a classic winter bay morning: cool mid‑40s at first light, light north to northeast breeze around 5–10 knots, and patchy fog giving way to high clouds by late morning. Local forecasts are calling for a dry, calm day with afternoon highs in the upper 50s and only a light afternoon breeze – very fishable conditions. Tide‑wise, it’s a decent moving‑water day. Tide-Forecast shows a pre‑dawn low around 1:20–1:40 a.m. at about 2.4 feet, then a strong morning flood topping out near 7:50–8:00 a.m. just under 6 feet. Another soft low comes mid‑afternoon around 3 p.m. Golden Gate Beach tables list sunrise about 7:18 a.m. and sunset about 4:52 p.m., so that early high tide lines up nicely with first light – prime time for both bay and ocean-side structure. Crab and rockfish remain the main game. NorCal Fish Reports’ party boat scores from yesterday show full‑on limits: Berkeley boats like California Dawn and California Dawn II posting easy limits of Dungeness crab and rockfish, and the San Francisco boat Lovely Martha hanging 300 Dungeness for 30 anglers on a half‑day run. That’s as wide‑open as it gets. Recent Fish Sniffer reports out of the bay echo the same story: combo trips stuffing the boxes with big crab, chunky rockfish, and a sprinkle of lingcod. Closer to home inside the bay, bass and halibut are slowing with the cold water but still around on the deeper edges and in the ship channels if you work for them. According to the “San Francisco Bay Fishing Report Today” podcast feed, stripers have been hanging on the flats and channel breaks, picking at the tides with soft plastics and swimbaits. Best bets right now: - For **crab**: Out the Gate along the Marin coast and around the North Bar, 80–160 feet. Soak crab pots or rings baited with salmon heads, rockfish carcasses, or chicken backs. Fresh, oily bait is key – rebait often on shorter soaks. - For **rockfish and lingcod**: Edges of the North Bar, Rocky Point, and down toward Pacifica in 80–150 feet. Run 4–8 oz jig heads, shrimp flies, or small iron (P-Line Laser Minnows, Ahi Assault jigs) tipped with squid strips or anchovy. Lings are chewing bigger swimbaits in blue/white, green mackerel, and root beer. - For **striped bass inside the bay**: Try the South Bay flats or the Alameda/Oakland shoreline on the incoming this morning. White or chartreuse 4–5 inch paddle‑tails on ½–1 oz jig heads, or small hair jigs and bucktails. If you’re soakin’ bait, use anchovies or herring chunks on a sliding rig along channel edges. A couple of hot spots to put on your list today: - **Berkeley Flats into the North Channel** – drift the edges on the last of the flood for bass, then slide out the Gate for crab and rockfish. - **Alcatraz and Angel Island reefs** – fish the structure with shrimp flies and small metal for mixed rockfish; keep an eye out for bonus winter stripers pushing bait.

White or chartreuse 4–5 inch paddle‑tails on ½–1 oz jig heads, or small hair jigs and bucktails. If you’re soakin’ bait, use anchovies or herring chunks on a sliding rig along channel edges. A couple of hot spots to put on your list today: - **Berkeley Flats into the North Channel** – drift the edges on the last of the flood for bass, then slide out the Gate for crab and rockfish. - **Alcatraz and Angel Island reefs** – fish the structure with shrimp flies and small metal for mixed rockfish; keep an eye out for bonus winter stripers pushing bait.

We’re sliding into a classic winter Bay pattern: cool mornings, light winds, and softer tides. Tides4Fishing shows an average tide cycle today with an early morning high around 7:20 a.m. and an afternoon low just after 2 p.m., so you’ve got good moving water on the morning flood and the early afternoon ebb. General Blue and Timeanddate list sunrise at 7:17 a.m. and sunset about 4:51 p.m., giving you a tight winter window but solid low‑light bites at both ends. MarineWeather.net and the National Weather Service have the Bay sitting in the upper 50s to low 60s with light south to southwest breeze and 4–5 ft swell outside the Gate, a little tamer once you’re inside. That means easy drifting for halibut and stripers and comfortable jigging for rockfish if you push out along the edges. Nor Cal Fish Reports is still showing strong crab‑combo scores out of Emeryville: the C Gull II and Lady K both checked in yesterday with full limits, roughly 10 Dungeness per angler plus limits of mixed rockfish. That tells you the outer Bay and just outside the Gate are holding plenty of life, with rockfish stacked on the usual structure and crab pots doing work on the sand. Inside the Bay, fish activity is typical December: - Stripers scattered but catchable around current breaks, bridge pilings, and creek mouths on the bigger tides. - Halibut slower than spring but there are still a few nice keepers for boats dragging slow and tight to the bottom. - Perch action improving along the cityfront rocks and East Bay shoreline as winter sets in. Best offerings right now: - For stripers: 4–5 inch white or chartreuse swimbaits, hair raisers in white or root beer, and bloodworms or pile worms on a hi‑lo near the rocks. - For halibut: live anchovy or shiner, or a frozen tray anchovy on a three‑way; artificial guys should lean on 4–5 inch glow or smelt‑pattern swimbaits. - For rockfish: 4–8 oz diamond jigs, shrimp flies tipped with squid, or small plastics in motor oil, red, or chartreuse. - For crab: standard rings or pots baited with a mix of fish carcasses and squid; soak them a bit longer with this softer tide. Couple of local hot spots to circle today: - **Alcatraz to Angel Island line:** Work the edges on the morning flood for stripers and halibut; bounce swimbaits or drift bait right on the bottom along the contour lines. - **North Bar and the edges just outside the Gate:** If the weather window holds, that’s where those Emeryville crab‑combo boats have been loading up on Dungeness and rockfish. - **Berkeley Flats and the Alameda Rockwall:** Good winter bets for a mixed bag of schoolie stripers and the odd halibut if you grind it out on the moving water. - **Cityfront rock piles from Crissy toward Fort Mason:** Solid for perch and the occasional bonus striper on worms, ghost shrimp, or small grubs.

We’ve got a cool, classic winter pattern this morning: light north–northwest breeze, patchy low clouds early, then clearing with a high in the mid‑50s according to the National Weather Service. Winds should bump up mid‑day, so the slick water window is early and late. Tides are on a smaller swing today. Tides4Fishing shows a pre‑dawn high just under 6 feet around 6:45 a.m., dropping to about 1.3 feet early afternoon near 1:20 p.m., then a modest evening high around 3.8 feet after dark. Sunrise is right around 7:17 a.m., sunset about 4:51 p.m. That gives you a nice overlap of first light and an ebbing tide this morning, then another bite window around the afternoon low as current softens. According to Nor Cal Fish Reports and the daily boat counts, the bay‑area party boats are still whacking **Dungeness crab and rockfish** on combo trips. Recent scores out of Berkeley and Emeryville have been full limits of crab and rockfish for most boats, with a few bonus lingcod mixed in. The crab are good grade, and the rockfish are coming off the outside structure and along the Marin and San Mateo coasts. Inside the bay, private boaters and shore casters are picking at **striped bass, halibut, and perch**. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife notes halibut is open year‑round here, but salmon remains closed for 2025, so plan accordingly. Fish activity today should be best: - Dawn through the first couple hours of the outgoing - The slower water around early‑afternoon low - Last light if the wind lays down For **stripers** around the bridge pylons, Crissy Field, and the Alameda rock wall, throw 4–5 inch white or chartreuse paddle‑tails on 1/2–3/4 oz heads, or blood‑red and white bucktail jigs. Live anchovies or shiners are still king if you can get them; otherwise frozen anchovies on a sliding sinker rig will do. For **halibut** on the flats between Treasure Island and the Berkeley Pier, drift live bait on a three‑way rig or troll herring‑pattern swimbaits and small silver/blue spoons just off bottom. Keep it slow and be ready for that classic “dead weight” bite. **Perch** hunters working Ocean Beach and Fort Funston should run hi‑low rigs with sand crabs, Gulp! sandworms, or mussel. A little red or orange bead above the hook helps when the water’s off‑color. Crabbers running hoops off the Marin coast and the North Bar are still doing well. Use whole squid or fish heads in your bait jars, soak 30–45 minutes, and stay on hard bottom away from heavy kelp to avoid tangles. Remember current gear advisories and best practices to avoid whale entanglement. A couple of **hot spots** to hit today: - **Alameda Rock Wall and Ballena Bay** for schoolie stripers and a shot at a bonus halibut on the morning ebb. - **Treasure Island to Berkeley Flats** for drifting halibut and trolling for stripes when that tide starts to move.

We’ve got a classic winter pattern settling over the Bay: cool, clear breaks between fronts, light morning breeze and afternoon northwest wind. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast, winds on the bay are running around 5 knots with 2‑foot or smaller chop, very fishable and friendly for the smaller boats. Skies are partly cloudy, temps pushing through the 50s, so bring layers and a good windbreaker. Tides are doing a nice little dance for us today. Tide-Forecast’s San Francisco station shows a pre‑dawn high around 4:38–4:49 a.m. at about 5–5.8 feet, dropping to a late‑morning low around 9:50–10:00 a.m. near 2.8 feet. That gives you a productive outgoing swing right through the morning bite, then a slow turn and afternoon flood. Golden Gate Beach tide tables put sunrise right around 7:14 a.m. with sunset near 4:50 p.m., so your best windows are first light through mid‑ebb, and then again late afternoon on the push. On the catching side, the party boats are still absolutely stuffing the boxes. Nor Cal Fish Reports shows yesterday’s crab‑rockfish combos out of Berkeley and Emeryville running full‑rack scores: California Dawn II logged 28 anglers with 280 Dungeness crab and 280 rockfish; the Emeryville fleet — C Gull II, New Huck Finn, Sea Wolf — all hanging 10‑crab limits plus full limits of mixed rockfish. That’s as good as it gets for winter combo fishing inside the Gate and just outside on the reefs. Inshore, halibut and stripers are more of a scratch pick now, but the die‑hards still poking around the South Bay edges and shipping channels are finding a few keepers. Happy Hooker’s schedule still highlights live‑bait halibut/striper trips in season, and the same program works now if you can get decent bait: live anchovies or shiners on a three‑way rig, 10–12 oz of lead, and slow‑troll the edges of the flats and drop‑offs. Best lures and baits around the Bay right now: - For rockfish: shrimp flies tipped with squid strips, small swimbaits in anchovy or root‑beer, and metal jigs like P‑Line Laser Minnows or Krocodiles bounced near the bottom. - For halibut: 4–6 inch paddletail swimbaits on 1–2 oz heads, white or chartreuse, or trap‑rigged frozen anchovies if live bait is scarce. - For stripers inside: 4–5 inch soft jerkbaits, hair jigs, or small spoons on the current seams; bloodworms or pile worms still get bites off piers. Couple hot spots to circle on your chart: - **Berkeley Flats to the Ship Channel**: On the outgoing tide, drift from the flats toward deeper water with swimbaits or live bait. That’s your best shot at a bonus winter halibut or schoolie bass. - **North Bar / Marin Coast just outside the Gate**: Party boats have been working this zone hard for rockfish and crab.

Out here in San Francisco, the sun came up around 7:13 a.m., and it’ll set early again tonight, about 4:50 p.m., so we’re working with short days and long shadows. The tide this morning at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach is running low around 7:23 a.m. at about 3.1 feet, then it’ll build to a solid high around 1:15 p.m. at 6.2 feet, before dropping again into a negative low near -0.1 feet by 8:16 p.m. That kind of push and pull is gold for Bay fishing right now. Weather’s been crisp and mostly clear, with light winds and decent visibility, perfect for reading the water. The outer coast at Ocean Beach is seeing waves in the 5–6 foot range, so if you’re launching from there, be smart and stay off the rocks when that swell’s running. Inside the Bay, it’s calmer, and that’s where most of the action’s been lately. Striped bass are still hanging around, especially near the Golden Gate and in the deeper channels around Alcatraz and Treasure Island. Fish Emeryville’s dock reports show consistent rockfish and some nice halibut bites over the past week, with anglers pulling in limits of rockfish and a fair number of California halibut. Dungeness crab season’s in full swing, and the traps are coming up packed, so if you’re crabbing, focus on the deeper holes near the Bay Bridge and around the Emeryville shoreline. For lures, keep it simple: 1/4 to 3/8 oz jigs in white, chartreuse, or pink are working well for stripers and rockfish, especially on the incoming tide. Small swimbaits and paddle tails on a jig head are deadly around structure. If you’re after halibut, a 3–4 inch Gulp! or Z-Man in white or shrimp color on a 1/4 oz jig head, drifted slowly over sandy flats near the bridge or near the Richmond shoreline, is your best bet. Live bait’s still king for serious fish. Fresh pile worms and sand crabs are pulling halibut and bass alike, and fresh shrimp or small live anchovies are money for rockfish and stripers around the piers and near the Gate. Two hot spots to hit today: First, the area around the Golden Gate Bridge pilings on the incoming tide, especially from mid-morning through early afternoon. Second, the flats near the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge, where halibut and bass are staging in the deeper channels. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe.

We’re on a **strong tide cycle** this morning. Tides4Fishing for North Point/Pier 41 shows an early **high around 2:12 a.m. near 5 ft**, rolling into a **mid‑morning high near 12:30 p.m. around 7 ft**, with a solid outgoing push late afternoon. That kind of swing usually fires up the bite on the edges and around structure. According to Tides4Fishing, **sunrise is about 7:12 a.m. and sunset about 4:50 p.m.** Plan to be set up for the first light push and the afternoon drop; those are your prime windows. Weather-wise, local marine forecasts have us in a **cool, partly cloudy pattern**, light morning winds building to a typical **afternoon westerly breeze**. Think jackets and beanies early, then a bit of chop later. Drifting stays manageable if you’re inside the Bay; outside the Gate will get lumpier as the breeze fills. On the **fish front**, the bite’s still respectable for December. Flash Fishing’s Dec 5 report notes **limits of striped bass and a mix of sharks** on their last bay trip, so there are still quality schoolie bass pushing bait in the central and South Bay. Party boats and six‑packs are also reporting a steady pick of **leopard sharks and bat rays** on the flats. Up the road in San Pablo Bay, the Marin Rod and Gun Club pier report from October logged **over 200 fish in a month**—striped bass, halibut, perch, sharks, rays, and a pile of smelt—showing the system’s still healthy and diverse even late season. That action typically tapers but doesn’t disappear; winter bass, rays, and the odd halibut still sniff around those channels and mudflats. For **lures**, keep it simple and local: - **Striped bass:** 4–5" white or chartreuse swimbaits on ½–¾ oz heads, Hair Raisers, and slim metal spoons jigged near the bottom. Small paddletails in “shad” or “anchovy” patterns are money around current seams. - **Halibut (if you’re hunting a late one):** slow‑rolled swimbaits or trap‑rigged herring imitations along the bottom on the drift. For **bait**, you can’t go wrong with: - **Live or fresh anchovies, herring, or shiner perch** on a slider rig for bass and halibut. - **Squid strips and anchovy chunks** for leopard sharks and bat rays on the flats. - **Pile worms or shrimp** under a hi‑low for perch around rocks and pilings. Couple of **hot spots** to put on your short list: - **Alameda Rockwall / Ballena Bay side:** fish the edges of the channel on the outgoing this afternoon for schoolie stripers and sharks. Drift swimbaits or soak bait on the slope. - **San Quentin / San Pablo Bay edges:** when the tide starts moving, work the drop‑offs with bait for bass and rays; keep an eye on your rod, that bite can be sudden. - **Pier 32–40 / central waterfront:** if you’re shorebound, cast swimbaits and spoons along the shipping channel edges right after sunrise and into the first push of the flood.

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 08:29:55 -0000 full Inception Point AI Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your San Francisco Bay fishing report. We’re on a **strong tide cycle** this morning. Tides4Fishing for North Point/Pier 41 shows an early **high around 2:12 a.m. near 5 ft**, rolling into a **mid‑morning high near 12:30 p.m. around 7 ft**, with a solid outgoing push late afternoon. That kind of swing usually fires up the bite on the edges and around structure. According to Tides4Fishing, **sunrise is about 7:12 a.m. and sunset about 4:50 p.m.** Plan to be set up for the first light push and the afternoon drop; those are your prime windows. Weather-wise, local marine forecasts have us in a **cool, partly cloudy pattern**, light morning winds building to a typical **afternoon westerly breeze**. Think jackets and beanies early, then a bit of chop later. Drifting stays manageable if you’re inside the Bay; outside the Gate will get lumpier as the breeze fills. On the **fish front**, the bite’s still respectable for December. Flash Fishing’s Dec 5 report notes **limits of striped bass and a mix of sharks** on their last bay trip, so there are still quality schoolie bass pushing bait in the central and South Bay. Party boats and six‑packs are also reporting a steady pick of **leopard sharks and bat rays** on the flats. Up the road in San Pablo Bay, the Marin Rod and Gun Club pier report from October logged **over 200 fish in a month**—striped bass, halibut, perch, sharks, rays, and a pile of smelt—showing the system’s still healthy and diverse even late season. That action typically tapers but doesn’t disappear; winter bass, rays, and the odd halibut still sniff around those channels and mudflats. For **lures**, keep it simple and local: - **Striped bass:** 4–5" white or chartreuse swimbaits on ½–¾ oz heads, Hair Raisers, and slim metal spoons jigged near the bottom. Small paddletails in “shad” or “anchovy” patterns are money around current seams. - **Halibut (if you’re hunting a late one):** slow‑rolled swimbaits or trap‑rigged herring imitations along the bottom on the drift. For **bait**, you can’t go wrong with: - **Live or fresh anchovies, herring, or shiner perch** on a slider rig for bass and halibut. - **Squid strips and anchovy chunks** for leopard sharks and bat rays on the flats. - **Pile worms or shrimp** under a hi‑low for perch around rocks and pilings.

We’re sitting on big winter tides right now. Tides4Fishing shows a pre-dawn high just after midnight around 5 feet, dropping to a strong negative low late this afternoon, with the next big flood peaking late morning. That moving water window from mid‑morning through early afternoon is your prime bite. Sunrise is right around 7:10 and sunset just before 4:55, so you’ve got a short light day to work with. Weather-wise, CBS Bay Area’s First Alert forecast is calling for dry, stable conditions with light north to northwest breeze and cool temps. The marine forecast from NOAA has 5–7 foot swell offshore but generally manageable bay chop. Layer up; it’ll feel colder on the water than on shore, especially on the morning ebb. Fishing pressure has shifted hard to winter staples. NorCalFishReports and the latest party-boat scores out of Sausalito and Emeryville report full‑limits of Dungeness and rockfish: boats like the Outer Limits and the Emeryville fleet are coming in with easy limits of crab plus rockfish and a scattering of lingcod. That tells you the outer bay and nearshore reefs are very much alive. Inside the bay, you’re looking at a mixed bag: striped bass, halibut for the die‑hards, plus a solid crab bite in the deeper channels and outside the Gate. With salmon closed again per state and federal managers, everyone’s leaning on combo rockfish/crab and bay pot pulls. Best baits and lures right now: - For **striped bass** along the city and South Bay shoreline: 4–5 inch swimbaits in shad or anchovy patterns, white flukes on 1/2–3/4 oz jig heads, and hair raisers in chartreuse or white. If you’re soaking bait, grass shrimp, anchovy, and pile worms are doing work around piers and bridge pilings. - For **halibut** (if you’re targeting them on the softer tides mid‑day): live anchovies or shiner perch on a three‑way, or slow‑rolled hoochies and small spoons near Alcatraz and the Berkeley Flats. You’ll work for them, but a few fish are still being quietly picked. - For **rockfish and lingcod** outside: standard shrimp flies tipped with squid or strips of mackerel, 4–8 oz depending on depth. For lings, big swimbaits in root beer or blue/white and chrome jigs bounced near structure are pulling quality fish. - For **Dungeness crab**: fresh salmon or rockfish carcasses, squid, and chicken legs in snares or pots. The charter counts out of Sausalito and Emeryville show easy limits when the gear soaks through a full tide swing. Couple of local hot spots to think about: - **Berkeley Flats to Alcatraz line**: work that late‑morning flood for stripers and any lingering halibut. Drift swimbaits or live bait along the contour edges. - **North Bar and Marin Coast just outside the Gate**: if the swell lines up, this zone has been kicking out rockfish, lings, and big numbers of crab for the boats. Fish tight to structure on the flood, then drop pots on the edge of the channels. - **San Mat This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re riding a serious king tide cycle in the Bay today, with big morning highs and deep afternoon lows, which means strong currents and plenty of water movement in all the usual striper and halibut lanes. Figure a pre‑dawn high pushing up into the 7‑foot range, then draining hard into a minus tide late afternoon, so plan to work the last of the incoming and first of the outgoing if you want cleaner drifts and less grass on the line. Sunrise is right around 7:10 and it’s getting dark just before 5, so your real primetime is that mid‑morning window and then again on the evening push. Weather around the Bay is classic early winter: chilly starts in the 40s, climbing into the upper 50s, with light north to northwest breeze that tends to stiffen in the afternoon. Skies are on the clearer side with passing clouds, and we’ve also got coastal flood advisories around low‑lying shorelines thanks to the king tides, so watch your parking spots and those low rock walls near the waterline. Mornings are the calmest for the small boats and kayaks; once that afternoon wind lines up with the big tide, it gets sloppy fast. Recent counts from the party boats out of Berkeley and Emeryville have been all about crab‑rockfish combos: limits of Dungeness—think roughly ten crab per angler—and full sacks of assorted rockfish, plus a smattering of lingcod into the low‑teens on the scale. Private boaters inside the Gate have been picking a mix of schoolie stripers, the odd keeper halibut that never left, and solid numbers of jacksmelt and perch along the cityfront and down toward Oyster Point. With the cold water and big tides, bites come in flurries; you fish through dead spots, then everyone hooks up at once when that current hits just right. Lure and bait game is pretty straightforward right now. For stripers and halibut, run 4–5 inch swimbaits in shad or anchovy patterns on one‑ounce heads, or troll broken‑back plugs and small spoons along the channel edges. If you’re soaking bait, anchovy, herring strips, or pile worms on a hi‑lo rig will find stripers, rays, and leopard sharks, while sand crabs, shrimp, or mussel work well for perch around rocks and pilings. Offshore and around the islands, it’s all about shrimp flies or small plastics for rockfish, with a heavier jig or chrome bar on the bottom to tempt a ling. A couple of hot spots to circle on the map today: - Nearshore, the rock walls and flats between Crissy Field and Fort Point, working the edges on the last of the incoming for stripers and the occasional halibut. - Across the way, the Berkeley Flats and the Richmond shoreline down toward the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge, where those current seams and bait balls have been holding schoolie bass and mixed bottom fish.

Let's talk conditions. We've got north winds at 5 to 10 knots with seas running 3 to 4 feet out on the bay. Not bad at all for getting out there. Tides are working in our favor today – we've got a high tide at 3:53 PM at 2.62 feet, and that's prime time for stripers and rockfish to move through the channels. The low this morning hit around 10:09 AM, so if you're heading out now, you're catching that transition. Here's what's been firing in our waters. Yesterday and the day before, stripers, rockfish, and Dungeness crab have been absolutely crushing it on the flats and channels throughout the bay. Fish Emeryville reported incredible action – we're talking limits of rockfish and consistent crab catches. The rockfish bite has been lights out, and the lingcod are cooperating too. If you're chasing stripers, they've been solid on the deeper channels. For tackle, you want your swimbaits and soft plastics for the stripers – whites and silvers are money right now. For rockfish, drop some jigs or use live bait if you can grab it. Dungeness crab traps are working great if that's your target. A couple hot spots worth your time: the deeper channels near the Emeryville Marina are producing consistent limits, and the flats around the narrows have been holding good numbers of both stripers and rockfish. Get out there early and work those tide changes. Thanks for tuning in, folks. Don't forget to subscribe for your daily bay updates.

High tide hits at 9:04 AM and 11:16 PM, with low tides at 2:43 AM and 4:02 PM. Water levels are swinging nicely with highs reaching 7.0 feet—solid tidal coefficient of 93, which means good movement and better feeding windows. Sunrise was 7:08 AM, sunset's at 4:50 PM, so you've got a short window before dark. **The Bite** Yesterday's dock reports from the Lovely Martha showed lights out on the water with fantastic fishing—190 Dungeness crab, 10 lingcod, and 190 rockfish landed on full-day trips. This pattern's holding strong. The live bait season has wrapped up for the year, but charter boats have switched to crab and rockfish combos with excellent success. **What's Biting** Striped bass are still in the mix through December, though numbers are dropping from peak fall. You'll find them in the 10-20 pound range mostly, with some trophy fish pushing 30-40 pounds possible. Live herring, mackerel, and anchovies work best for stripers. For the rockfish—which are fire right now—you can work soft plastics and jigging spoons on the structure. Dungeness crab are absolutely on, and halibut are still active if you're looking for something different. **Hot Spots** Get yourself to Berkeley Flats and Treasure Island if you're targeting stripers. For crab and rockfish, the channel edges and deeper flats are producing limits. **Lures and Tackle** Seven to fourteen foot rods with braided line are your friends. Work 2-3 inch soft plastics, topwater poppers, and slow-roll jigs. Medium-heavy action with 20-30 pound test will handle everything from stripers to halibut. Get out there and make it happen.

We're looking at excellent conditions out there today, folks. Sunrise came in at 7:07 this morning with sunset hitting around 4:50 pm, so we've got limited daylight—make those hours count. **Tides and Water Conditions** Here's where it gets interesting. We're in the middle of what they're calling King Tides this week, and today's shaping up to be a big one. Your next high tide is coming at 8:24 am, running about a foot above normal at 6.7 feet. Water temperature is holding steady at 56.3 degrees Fahrenheit, which is solid for this time of year. The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory through Sunday, so if you're fishing near shorelines, keep an eye on water levels. **Weather Alert** Fair warning—a Beach Hazards Statement is in effect through Wednesday evening. We're looking at 10 to 14-foot breaking waves with long lulls between sets and strong rip currents. Sneaker waves are a real possibility, so stay off those rocks and jetties and exercise extra caution if you're casting from the shore. **Recent Fish Activity** The word from Half Moon Bay Sportfishing is that Dungeness crab have been absolutely loving the conditions—they're calling it "Love Those Dungeness Crab!" The AM trip on the Dolphin boat landed 95 assorted rockfish for 14 anglers, which tells you the rockfish bite is firing right now. Sculpin and sand bass are also in the mix if you're looking for variety. **Best Bait and Lures** For rockfish, you can't beat fresh squid or anchovies on a jig setup. If you're targeting stripers and halibut in the bay, live shiners work magic this time of year. For that crab bite, you'll want crab pots with fresh bait—mackerel heads are ideal. **Hot Spots** Head out to the Half Moon Bay area if you can make the drive—the action's been consistent there. Inside the bay, focus on the deeper channels where the tide's running strong. The structure around the Golden Gate creates excellent holding areas for rockfish and stripers. Get out there and tight lines! Thanks for tuning in to the San Francisco Bay Fishing Report.

We've got some decent tidal action happening today. High tide's coming in at 8 AM around 5.3 feet, followed by a low at 3:02 PM sitting at 1.6 feet. That afternoon low should give us some nice current push through the channels—always good for stripers and halibut action. **Weather and Light** Sun's up at around 7:16 AM this morning and sets early at 4:51 PM, so you've got a solid window if you hit the water early. There's a beach hazards statement in effect through tomorrow evening, so be mindful out there. **What's Biting** Recent reports from the Happy Hooker and Pacific Dream charter boats show live bait halibut and striped bass trips are still producing solid numbers in the Bay. Crab and rockfish combos are also running strong if you're looking for some variety. The solunar activity is sitting at 69—average conditions, nothing spectacular but fishable. **Technique Talk** For stripers, you can't go wrong with live anchovies or herring under a float during these moving tides. Drop a live mackerel or squid if you're targeting halibut near the deeper channels. Jigging shads in chartreuse or pearl work great when the bite gets tough. **Hot Spots** Head down to the Berkeley Marina area—those charter operations are running regular trips and the structure near the pilings holds fish all day. Second spot would be anywhere along the shipping channels near the Golden Gate approach. That moving water's pushing bait, and the predators know it.

That afternoon low should give us some nice current push through the channels—always good for stripers and halibut action. **Weather and Light** Sun's up at around 7:16 AM this morning and sets early at 4:51 PM, so you've got a solid window if you hit the water early. There's a beach hazards statement in effect through tomorrow evening, so be mindful out there. **What's Biting** Recent reports from the Happy Hooker and Pacific Dream charter boats show live bait halibut and striped bass trips are still producing solid numbers in the Bay. Crab and rockfish combos are also running strong if you're looking for some variety. The solunar activity is sitting at 69—average conditions, nothing spectacular but fishable. **Technique Talk** For stripers, you can't go wrong with live anchovies or herring under a float during these moving tides. Drop a live mackerel or squid if you're targeting halibut near the deeper channels. Jigging shads in chartreuse or pearl work great when the bite gets tough. **Hot Spots** Head down to the Berkeley Marina area—those charter operations are running regular trips and the structure near the pilings holds fish all day. Second spot would be anywhere along the shipping channels near the Golden Gate approach. That moving water's pushing bait, and the predators know it.

We're looking at solid conditions today with a high tide at 7:15 AM hitting 5.83 feet, followed by a low at 12:36 AM around 1.15 feet. Sunrise was at 7:06 AM and sunset comes in early at 4:51 PM, so you've got a tight window to work with. Weather-wise, we've got mild conditions with clear skies and minimal wind—perfect fall fishing. Just heads up if you're hitting the beaches; the National Weather Service is warning about sneaker waves and rip currents through tonight, so stay sharp out there. **What's Been Biting:** Yesterday was lights out. Happy Hooker out of Berkeley reported 250 rockfish and 250 crab for 25 anglers. Lovely Martha in San Francisco had a full day with 270 Dungeness crab, 9 lingcod, and 270 rockfish. The party boats are absolutely crushing it right now. Striped bass have been solid around the Richmond shoreline and mid-bay rockpiles, mostly mid-20-inch fish with some pushing 30. Halibut's been steady along the Berkeley Flats and Oakland-Alameda estuary during incoming tides. **Tackle and Bait:** For stripers, fresh or cut anchovy is your bread and butter—cast white and chartreuse swimbaits in the 4- to 6-inch range on 8- to 12-ounce heads depending on depth. Lingcod are hammering big flutter jigs in sardine and blue patterns, especially on the outgoing. For crab, raw chicken parts are still king in your pots—the stinkier, the better. Rockfish love squid strips and dropper-loop rigs. If you're targeting surfperch, pile worms and sand crabs will get the job done. **Hot Spots:** Head to Oyster Point on the incoming—cabezon and halibut are holding in those mud flats. Berkeley Flats remains solid for late-season halibut. If you're crabbing, just inside the Gate and Baker Beach are firing, but watch those outgoing tides or you'll lose gear.

The sun's coming up at 7:05 AM and setting at 4:51 PM, so you've got a tight window for morning action. That early high tide is prime time for striped bass around the Golden Gate and Crissy Field—hit those dawn hours before the tide swings. **What's Biting** The fishing's been absolutely stellar the last couple days. Yesterday the Happy Hooker brought in 210 rockfish, three lingcod, and 210 Dungeness crab for 21 anglers—limits across the board. Lovely Martha also crushed it on crab with 40 limits on a dedicated crab trip. Inside the Bay, we're seeing solid striped bass action, especially on moving tides. **What to Throw** For striped bass, grab your 3 to 5-inch paddle-tail swimbaits or bucktail jigs and work the current seams. Live or cut anchovy is your money bait right now. If conditions stay calm enough, you can troll herring-pattern plugs for halibut in the central and South Bay. For crab and rockfish, hit the deeper reefs with squid or oily baits. **Hot Spots** Target Fort Point and Crissy Field at dawn on that incoming tide. The Embarcadero piers are solid too, especially when the current's moving. Outside the Gate, those deeper water reefs are producing limits of rockfish and crab.

High tide comes in at 6:06 AM at 5.06 feet, with a low at 11:53 AM around 2.62 feet. We get another high tide at 5:13 PM at 4.31 feet, then a final low at 11:29 PM at 0.74 feet. Sun's up at 7:04 AM and down at 4:51 PM, so you've got decent daylight to work with. **The Bite Report** Recent reports show excellent crabbing action around the Bay—anglers are pulling solid limits of Dungeness crab. Rockfish have been cooperating too, with 200-plus counts showing up consistently. The solunar coefficient sits at 48, which is low activity, but don't let that discourage you. Morning and evening transitions around those tide changes are prime windows. **Tackle & Bait** For rockfish, bring your sabiki rigs—the Hayabusa models are working great right now with those shiny beads catching fish's attention. For crab, pots baited with squid and mackerel are your best bet. If you're working the rockfish, fresh anchovies and smelt are money this time of year. **Hot Spots** Head down to Pier 41 at North Point—consistent action and protected water. The Marina Store's open until 5 PM if you need last-minute gear and bait. Emeryville's been firing too with excellent mixed bag reports.

Let's dive into what's happening on the water today. **Tides & Conditions** We're looking at a high tide at 5:30 AM this morning hitting 4.77 feet, with the next low tide coming around 10:43 AM at 3.22 feet. Sunrise was at 7:03 AM and we'll see sunset at 4:51 PM, so you've got a short day out there. The tidal coefficient is sitting at a low 44, which means we're in a neap tide cycle—expect minimal tidal movement and less dramatic current changes. **Weather & Water** Conditions are mild out on the Bay this morning. It's a great day to get out and wet a line before the holiday winds down. **Recent Fish Activity** Reports from around the Bay have been quiet this week, but Marina del Rey down south just checked in with solid numbers—530 fish caught across two trips including mackerel, sculpin, whitefish, and rockfish. The crabbing has been phenomenal recently, so if you're targeting Dungeness crab, now's your time. **What To Use** For live bait work, drift live anchovy or herring along channel edges—that's your go-to approach. If you're throwing artificials, work with soft baits, spoons, and spinners. The Bay's been responsive to traditional lure patterns lately. **Hot Spots** Head to Ballena Bay or check out the harbor entrances around Oakland and Emeryville. These sheltered areas attract quality bait fish and structure that holds species year-round. The channel edges are producing solid action right now. Thanks for tuning in, folks!

Out on the Bay this morning, we're looking at a mild autumn start: temps hovering in the mid-50s, light westerly breezes, and skies trending mostly clear. Heads up: a Spare the Air Alert is in effect all day, so folks with respiratory sensitivities might want to take it easy according to local air advisories. Sunrise hit at 7:02 a.m. this morning and sunset will slip below the horizon at 4:52 p.m., so we've got a tight window for prime fishing—make the most of that midday bite. Tidewise, we started with a 4.5-foot high at 4:42 a.m., fell to a 3.5-foot low at 9:12, and we’ll see another 4.9-foot high tide roll in at 2:34 this afternoon, followed by a minor 0.1-foot low at 9:39 tonight. That morning drop and afternoon push usually fire up the fish around structure and channel edges, especially for stripers and halibut, so timing your outings an hour before and after these swings could mean the difference between slow and steady action. Let’s talk about what’s biting and what locals are reporting: According to Nor Cal Fish Reports, boats out of Emeryville and Berkeley have been putting up lights-out numbers on rockfish—think full sacks of blues, browns, and blacks, with the occasional vermilion for those dropping jigs down the Marin and San Mateo coast. Dungeness crab is coming up solid as well, especially just outside the Gate, adding a tasty bonus to your haul. A few striped bass are popping up around Oyster Point and the South Bay flats, mostly schoolies, with some keeper halibut still hanging on deeper mud bars near Alameda and Berkeley Pier. Recent party boat counts up and down the coast (Fisherman's Landing, Marina del Rey Sportfishing) show high counts of sculpin, sand bass, rockfish, and the stray halibut for those dropping either cut anchovy or squid on a double dropper loop. These same methods work in SF Bay—squid strips or anchovy cut bait on dropper rigs along the rock walls and pier pilings are drawing bites. If you’re hunting stripers or halibut, try white or chartreuse paddle-tail swimbaits, 4–6" and bounce them slow near the bottom. San Francisco regulars swear by Lucky Craft Flash Minnows on the slower-moving outgoing for stripers off Crissy Field and Candlestick. Crabbing is hot just outside the Gate, but don’t forget your hoop nets and a good chunk of raw chicken or salmon scraps for the bait box. Hot spots to hit today include: - The Berkeley Flats—great for late-season halibut and stripers working the tide edges. - Alcatraz Island rock piles—steady for mixed-bag rockfish for those working small metal jigs or squid strips. - Oyster Point Pier—for land-based folks, stripers are pushing bait close around change of tides. Strike King’s spinnerbaits and crankbaits, as highlighted in their latest tackle roundup, remain a favorite for largemouth and spotted bass, but if you’re adapting those to brackish or Bay water, switch to chartreuse or This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Clear your lines and grab your coffee, because these are the conditions and catches straight from the docks, tide logs, and today’s local anglers. The tides are running average this morning: we saw a high tide at 4:05 AM at about 4.43 feet, dropping to a low at 8:06 AM at 3.69 feet. There’s a bigger high rolling in at 1:46 PM peaking at 5.21 feet, and it’ll bottom out just after sunset at 8:55 PM, basically flat at -0.11 feet, according to Tide-Forecast. Sun rose at 7:01 AM, and sunset’s early at 4:52 PM—keep your time on the water tight, because dusk bite is short this late in the season. Weather’s mild, with lingering high clouds and light winds; no storms on the horizon per NOAA. That means solid conditions for both bay and coastal rock hopping. Water temps are holding steady in the mid-50s, so most predators are still feeding hard trying to fatten up before it cools even more later in winter. Let’s talk action. NorCalFishReports shows the boats running out of Emeryville and San Francisco hit the marks yesterday: C Gull II and Lady K both banged out limits of Dungeness crab (230 and 100 per trip) and easy limits of rockfish too. Over on the Lovely Martha out of San Francisco, the tally was an impressive 280 for 28 anglers on both crabs and rockfish. The party boat crews are calling this November “as good as it gets” for rockfish and crab combos. Species mix on the reefs—steady numbers of brown, black, and blue rockfish, with a handful of vermilions and coppers mixed in. A few lingcod have come over the rail, but most lings seem to be in deeper or structure-rich waters right now. Locals are pulling surfperch from Crissy Field to Oyster Point—use shrimp bits, bloodworms, or a good old FlipFlop N’ Socks paddle tail swimbait, which is catching pretty much everything that’ll hit a lure in the back bays, including the occasional striper. Out at the piers, mackerel and jacksmelt are in the mix, and you might snag a bonus halibut if you’re lucky and use a live anchovy or smelt. According to Hook2Cook, those 2-inch paddle tails are tight for perch and even smaller stripers. Best baits in the Bay right now—fresh squid or anchovy for the bottom biters, and for Dungeness try raw chicken or fish carcasses in your traps. If you’re after lings or rockfish, nothing beats a chartreuse or root beer curly tail plastic on a 3-6 ounce leadhead jig bounced near the bottom or along structure. On the slow tides, cast the bait right into the holes and work slow—these fish are hugging the rock piles. Hot spots—Alcatraz Island’s western drop-offs are firing for rockfish and keeper lings, while the Marin coastline, especially around Tennessee Cove, is an easy shot for both crab pots and rockfish. On the city side, the SF Pier 7 after high tide is seeing steady perch, a few stripers, and lots of smiling locals.

Out on the water today, we’re seeing a classic late-fall setup—cool, foggy mornings giving way to brisk northwest winds in the afternoon, so the early bite before conditions get breezy remains your best chance. Water temperatures are holding in the mid-50s, ideal for resident bay species. Sunrise hit at 7:00 AM this morning with sunset coming early at 4:52 PM, so daylight is precious—time those tides for best results. Tidewise, today’s schedule from Tides4Fishing puts your first high at 3:08 AM (4.4 ft), low at 7:02 AM (3.6 ft), another high at 12:52 PM (5.5 ft), and the next low at 8:02 PM (-0.3 ft). That noon high stacks up with part of the minor solunar bite window, making late morning into the early afternoon a smart window for targeting predators along the current seams. According to Fish Emeryville and the Happy Hooker, rockfish remain thick right now, with boats reporting easy limits of jumbo rockfish and full pots of Dungeness crab just before the season closes. Newcomers and veterans both have been loading the coolers, with a nice mix of species—coppers, browns, and big vermilions taking up most of the catch. Crabbing is lights out, so bring a crab hoop if you’re heading out on a six-pack or private boat. Closer to the city, FishingReminder notes the bite for striped bass hangs on during these short days, especially around dawn and dusk when the tides are just starting to move. Top producing spots remain Crissy Field, Fort Point, and the Embarcadero piers—hot on a moving tide. Try 3–5 inch paddle-tail swimbaits in shad or anchovy patterns, or bucktail jigs matched to the current. If you prefer bait, live or cut anchovy is still turning heads. Halibut are slowing down but a few quality fish are showing in the South Bay for patient anglers who drift a herring-pattern plug or bounce a tray anchovy just after sunup on mild wind days. Out by Alcatraz and the Marin Headlands, rockfish and lingcod reports are steady on shrimp flies and dark-colored swimbaits, with the bonus occasional school stripers searching for the last anchovy schools. Night owls are connecting with leopard sharks and bat rays using squid and other oily baits near piers and channel edges—especially productive around South Beach Harbor and Washerwoman’s Bay. Want a shore option? Surfperch are biting near troughs on Ocean Beach and Baker Beach, mostly on Gulp sandworms or preserved sandcrabs. Focus on twilight and where the waves break uneven, as that’s where sandbars and holes sit. For the lure hounds, Berkley’s new late-fall bass releases are flying off the shelves—local anglers recommend the topwater Choppo or the Power Stinger for stripers, and the tried-and-true Gotcha plugs, swimbaits, or curly-tail grubs. Don’t forget to scale your weights to the tide—just heavy enough to tick bottom but not drag to maximize your hookups when current is running.

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 08:28:57 -0000 full Inception Point AI Good morning, this is Artificial Lure with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for Monday, November 24, 2025. Out on the water today, we’re seeing a classic late-fall setup—cool, foggy mornings giving way to brisk northwest winds in the afternoon, so the early bite before conditions get breezy remains your best chance. Water temperatures are holding in the mid-50s, ideal for resident bay species. Sunrise hit at 7:00 AM this morning with sunset coming early at 4:52 PM, so daylight is precious—time those tides for best results. Tidewise, today’s schedule from Tides4Fishing puts your first high at 3:08 AM (4.4 ft), low at 7:02 AM (3.6 ft), another high at 12:52 PM (5.5 ft), and the next low at 8:02 PM (-0.3 ft).

Let’s start with today’s **conditions**: morning lows in the mid 50s, lingering patchy fog along the coast and Bay, and afternoon NW winds expected to build slightly as the day wears on. Water temperatures around the Bay are right in the mid-50s—a sweet spot for fall fishing. Sunrise was at 6:57am and sunset will be at 4:54pm. On the **tidal front**, we’re sitting pretty with a high tide rolling in at 12:56am around 4.6 ft, and the morning low easing in about 5:03am at 3.3 ft. The flood peaks at 11:00am touching 6.0 ft and we’ll see the evening ebb drop to -0.5 ft just after 6pm. That high tidal coefficient means a lot of water movement and fish on the move, especially around slack and peak tides—ideal conditions for working structure and pier edges. **Recent catches** have been solid all across the Bay and the party boats. Fish Emeryville just reported 17 halibut and 2 striped bass landed in a single morning last week. For rockfish, local party boats like the Dolphin out of Fisherman’s Landing are consistently seeing big counts, with trips tagging 160-plus rockfish per session and showing mix bites of sheepshead, sculpin, sand bass, and the occasional halibut. Stripers are pushing bait up against Crissy Field, Fort Point, and the Embarcadero piers—especially during the first and last hours of the tide swing. **Target species** today include striped bass, California halibut, rockfish, and leopard sharks. Rockfishing outside the Golden Gate is productive when winds drop, but inside the Bay, predatory bass and halibut are the game. For **lure selection**, locals swear by 3–5 inch paddle-tail swimbaits in anchovy or herring colors for stripers. Bucktail jigs and hair raisers work wonders near current seams, especially when matched to the day’s tidal push. When it comes to bait, live anchovy or cut sardine is king. For halibut, slow-trolled herring-pattern plugs or drifted squid do the trick. Sharks and rays are chewing on squid and oily scraps at night along channel edges and around piers. For **rockfish**, bottom rigs tipped with squid or shrimp get the bites—especially out past Alcatraz or under the Marin Headlands on calm days. **Hot spots** right now: - Crissy Field: Stripers thick at dawn on moving tides. - Berkeley Flats: Halibut and bass when wind allows, especially mid-tide. - Alcatraz Island: Rockfish biting solid for boaters working the edges. - Fort Point: Piers see action at low-light with paddle-tails and cut bait. **Best bite times** are always right around dawn and dusk, and today, solunar activity is above average, so capitalize on those tidal changes. Watch for bird activity and bait dimples on the surface—stripers and halibut won’t be far behind. That wraps up the Friday rundown from San Francisco Bay.

Sunrise hit at 6:56 a.m. and we’ll lose light quick, with sunset coming at 4:54 p.m. Early birds got a jump on those prime tide swings. Tides were lively today: high at around 12:12 a.m. and again at 10:30 a.m. with 6 feet reported on the morning flood. Afterward, expect a nice outgoing: low tide near 4:30 a.m. and the big drop again at 5:29 p.m. down close to -0.4 feet, keeping that water moving and the predatory fish active according to Tides4Fishing. Weather’s been on the mild side: patchy fog at dawn but burning off into a clear, cool day, hovering in the high 50s to mid 60s as is typical late November. Bay winds are moderate, enough chop to keep baitfish nervous but not dangerous for small craft close to shore. This week’s action has been classic late fall bay variety. Out on the party boats and charters, from the Golden Gate through Berkeley out to the Farallons, the rockfish and lingcod bite is still wide open. California Dawn Sportfishing reported rockfish counts over 200 per trip, plus steady sanddabs and consistently strong lingcod, with fifty fish up to 22 pounds last outing. 976-TUNA and NorCal Fish Reports are confirming rockfish, sculpin, and a solid showing of sand bass and whitefish, with lings biting best on darker swimbaits or large jigs tipped with squid strips. Central Bay is still delivering for bay halibut seekers—slow-trolled herring pattern plugs and Pitbull Tackle sliding halibut rigs are the hot ticket if you’re bouncing bottom from Alcatraz to the Berkeley Flats. South Bay piers and mudflats have produced some leopard shark and bat ray action on squid or oily baits at night. Striped bass are pushing into shorelines on the incoming, especially dawn and dusk. Hit the Embarcadero piers and Crissy Field with 3-5 inch paddle-tail swimbaits, bucktail jigs, or chunk anchovy. According to local guides, matching your jig head to the current is key—just heavy enough to stay near bottom, but not so much you’re dragging, especially with lively tides like today. Surf casters at Ocean Beach and Baker Beach found perch and the odd striper at first light on Gulp grubs and sandworms. Don’t forget to bring a high-low rig and a few pyramid sinkers—recent king tides moved the sand around, changing up the holes and troughs daily. Recent catch updates from NorCal Fish Reports highlight a reliable rockfish and lingcod bite continuing offshore. Party boats out of Emeryville have filled coolers with limits of rockies and a few late-season sheephead and sand bass mixed in. Today’s hottest spots: try the Berkeley Flats early for halibut, then work the Marin shoreline near Fort Point and the Ferry Building piers for stripers on the incoming. Offshore, if weather holds, the Farallon Islands remain a can’t-miss for big rockfish and lings—just watch your bag limits and leave the smallest home for next year.

This is Artificial Lure, your local fishing guide, and I’m here to break down the bite for today, November 19th, 2025. The sun came up at 6:54 AM and will set at 4:55 PM, giving us a short but solid window to get out there. Tides are running strong—first low tide at 3:59 AM, high at 10:06 AM, then another low at 4:59 PM. The tidal coefficient is still high, meaning currents are moving and fish are on the move. Weather’s been mild, but keep an eye on the wind and surf forecast—conditions can shift fast on the Bay. Right now, it’s a good day to be out, especially if you’re targeting the morning or late afternoon bite. Fish activity is steady. Striped bass are still showing up in schools, and there’s been a solid mix of rockfish, whitefish, and calico bass around the piers and nearshore spots. The long-range boats are reporting yellowtail and bluefin tuna, but those are mostly out past the Golden Gate. Closer in, anglers are landing seabass, halibut, and even a few sheephead. Yesterday’s reports from the local landings had good numbers—lots of whitefish, seabass, and a few tuna mixed in. For lures, stick with soft plastics, swimbaits, and spoons for the stripers and bass. If you’re after rockfish, try small jigs or vertical rigs. For bait, fresh anchovies, squid, and pile worms are working best right now. Don’t forget to check your local bait shop—most are open daily and stocked up. Hot spots? Try the Emeryville Pier for stripers and rockfish, or head to the Berkeley Marina for a mix of species. If you’re feeling adventurous, the waters around Alcatraz and Angel Island are producing some good action, especially with the strong tides.

We’re looking at *classic fall bay weather*: pockets of clouds moving in, a fresh westerly breeze, and chilly morning lows in the 40s before warming up to the upper 50s this afternoon, according to the latest from the National Weather Service. There’s a chance for light rain returning late, so pack your rain gear but don’t let it stop you from chasing a limit. Sunrise was at 6:53 AM and sunset will tip over the horizon early at 4:55 PM, making for a short but promising fishing window. Tidal movement is strong today: the early morning saw a low tide at 3:24 AM at around 2.4 feet, swinging up to a high tide at 9:41 AM peaking just under 6 feet, then falling off again with another low around 4:25 PM at -0.2 feet—plenty of water moving, no excuses for sleepy fish. Tides4Fishing pegs the solunar activity at “high,” so time your best efforts just before and after the morning high tide, or later as water dumps out this afternoon. On the water, the *crab combo* bite is still absolutely on fire. Fish Emeryville’s scores from yesterday have the Sea Wolf, TigerFish, and California Dawn all posting full limits on Dungeness crab (that’s ten crabs per angler—do the math, that’s a heap of legs!) paired with easy limits on quality rockfish in the same trip. The average deck load per trip is running 9-10 fish per rod, with reds, browns, and big schoolie blues filling bags, plus some behemoth vermilions in the mix. Lingcod are showing up as bonus fish, especially outside the Gate toward the islands—California Dawn put eight solid lings to gaff yesterday. Private boats and pier anglers saw striped bass still haunting the piers—especially the Ferry Building and Fort Point—early in the morning. According to the Its_Hueyyyy crew, anglers are still locking in full limits of chunky San Francisco Bay stripers. Trolling and casting along the flats with rattletraps, swimbaits, and chartreuse or white hair jigs is deadly right now. Cut anchovy or live mudsuckers are getting plenty of action as well. Halibut remains a slower pick but folks bouncing live anchovies or drifting frozen herring at South Bay reefs report the occasional keeper. Sand bass and Sculpin are popping up more often in mixed bags, especially in the shallows near Oyster Point and Coyote Point. Best bets for today: - Hit the **Berkeley Flats** or **Alcatraz Island reefs** for fast rockfish and crab limits on squid strips, shrimp flies, and trap rigs baited with squid or herring. Glow and chartreuse patterns stand out in murkier water. - For stripers, try the outgoing just west of the Ferry Building Pier, or move down to the **Candlestick area**—toss larger paddle tails or troll deep-diving plugs just off structure. - Pier crabbers from Fort Mason and Pier 7 are hauling in jumbos ear This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today’s weather has crisp fall temps, with a high near 58 degrees, clouds rolling in and a steady south wind around 15 knots. Rain is looking likely by afternoon and into evening. Swells are modest, west at 3 feet every 11 seconds, so offshore runs are doable but keep an eye out if squalls push through. For sunrise and sunset, set those alarms: first light hit at 6:52 am, with sunset coming early at 4:56 pm according to Tides.net and Tides4Fishing. Tides are very cooperative for a productive bite. Low tide rolled through at 2:48 am at 1.1 feet, followed by a morning high at 9:16 am spiking to 5.95 feet. Another dip to almost zero at 3:53 pm, then a solid high again at 10:42 pm just above 4.4 feet. Solunar activity is on the rise this week, and with today’s high coefficient, conditions look great for a feeding window through the mid-morning tide push. The sweet spot to fish will be that outgoing tide late morning, or target the change at dusk if you’re staying after work. Recent fish counts from the California Dawn fleet out of Berkeley and Happy Hooker Sportfishing both report hot action in the past couple days. Full rockfish and Dungeness crab limits are coming regularly, with boats yesterday reporting 200 rockfish, 200 crab, and a good handful of nice lingcod (eight quality grade on the last trip). Sanddab have also been showing up in solid numbers. Over the past week, we’ve seen reliable hauls of vermilion, canary, and olive rockfish, with the occasional bonus cabezon and big olive. Lingcod up to 15 pounds came off the North Bar and Marin Coast according to the California Dawn’s September and November logs. Sanddab are thick out front of the Gate and on the flats towards Alcatraz. Inside the Bay, striped bass have been cruising the flats from Crissy Field to the Berkeley Pier, with shore anglers reporting multiple keepers in a morning on swimbaits and cut anchovy. Leopard shark and bat ray remain a steady bet off Oyster Point and Coyote Point, and the crab pots are finding full limits at South Hampton Shoals and Angel Island. Best baits and lures for today: For rockfish and lingcod, bring your heavy jigs—3 to 8 oz in glow, chartreuse, or orange. P-Line Laser Minnows and shrimp flies over a bounce ball rig are tried and tested, but a whole squid on a double dropper is money for both lings and bigger rockfish. Sanddab are loving small pieces of squid or cut anchovy drifted on the bottom. For stripers and bay halibut, Storm Wildeye Shads, 4-5 inch paddle tails, or white/pearl swimbaits are getting bites. Try a Lucky Craft Flashminnow by shore for a shot at both stripers and the odd halibut, especially on the incoming tide. Sabiki rigs tipped with anchovy will keep you in jacksmelt and herring, perfect for bait or a quick fry-up.

Another dip to almost zero at 3:53 pm, then a solid high again at 10:42 pm just above 4.4 feet. Solunar activity is on the rise this week, and with today’s high coefficient, conditions look great for a feeding window through the mid-morning tide push. The sweet spot to fish will be that outgoing tide late morning, or target the change at dusk if you’re staying after work. Recent fish counts from the California Dawn fleet out of Berkeley and Happy Hooker Sportfishing both report hot action in the past couple days. Full rockfish and Dungeness crab limits are coming regularly, with boats yesterday reporting 200 rockfish, 200 crab, and a good handful of nice lingcod (eight quality grade on the last trip). Sanddab have also been showing up in solid numbers. Over the past week, we’ve seen reliable hauls of vermilion, canary, and olive rockfish, with the occasional bonus cabezon and big olive. Lingcod up to 15 pounds came off the North Bar and Marin Coast according to the California Dawn’s September and November logs. Sanddab are thick out front of the Gate and on the flats towards Alcatraz. Inside the Bay, striped bass have been cruising the flats from Crissy Field to the Berkeley Pier, with shore anglers reporting multiple keepers in a morning on swimbaits and cut anchovy. Leopard shark and bat ray remain a steady bet off Oyster Point and Coyote Point, and the crab pots are finding full limits at South Hampton Shoals and Angel Island. Best baits and lures for today: For rockfish and lingcod, bring your heavy jigs—3 to 8 oz in glow, chartreuse, or orange. P-Line Laser Minnows and shrimp flies over a bounce ball rig are tried and tested, but a whole squid on a double dropper is money for both lings and bigger rockfish. Sanddab are loving small pieces of squid or cut anchovy drifted on the bottom. For stripers and bay halibut, Storm Wildeye Shads, 4-5 inch paddle tails, or white/pearl swimbaits are getting bites. Try a Lucky Craft Flashminnow by shore for a shot at both stripers and the odd halibut, especially on the incoming tide. Sabiki rigs tipped with anchovy will keep you in jacksmelt and herring, perfect for bait or a quick fry-up.

The **sun came up at 6:51 AM** this morning, and expect it to dip behind the Marin hills at **4:57 PM**—that’s a short window, so plan your casts wisely. **Tide info for today:** We rolled in with a modest **2.1 ft low at 2:06 AM**, swung into a hefty **5.8 ft high at 8:45 AM**, followed by a gentle **0.5 ft low at 3:14 PM** and wrapping up with a **4.4 ft high at 9:43 PM**, based on data from Tides4Fishing. Solunar activity is marked “average,” so the bite is strongest at tide swing, especially through mid-morning and again as current picks up later in the afternoon. **Weather:** This morning launched with crisp mid-50s temps and patchy fog, giving way to partly cloudy skies and highs pushing the low 60s by late morning, according to local weather apps. Wind is light out of the west at 4–7 knots, and the bay is calm—a nice break from last week’s gusts. **Fish activity & recent catches:** According to dock totals from the Berkeley and Emeryville fleet, rockfish and crab limits are dominating this week. Fish Emeryville reports 450 Dungeness crab and another 450 rockfish landed yesterday among just 45 anglers. The Lovely Martha—always a reliable boat—checked in with **22 crab limits (220 crab)** and nearly full limits on rockfish, plus 5 solid lingcod making the grade. The Argo out of San Francisco is picking up **striped bass**—3 anglers totaled 6 keeper stripers recently, focusing effort near rips and outflows. Emeryville’s C Gull II posted more than 150 crab and 10 lingcod. Shore crabbers are also seeing keepers at Oyster Point and the rocks near Crissy Field. This action lines up with what Spreaker’s November 15th broadcast highlighted—rockfish are chewing strong (browns, blacks, and vermilions), lingcod are showing (albeit spotty), and the Dungeness crab pots are loaded if you pick a good line. **Best baits and lures right now:** - For **crab**, toss mackerel, squid, or good old chicken scraps in your rings and pots. Check your pots every 45–60 minutes for best results. - **Rockfish & lingcod** are loving shrimp flies in root beer or chartreuse, white grubs, and 5” Berkeley Gulp Jerk Shad on dropper loop rigs. Big leadheads help get to bottom in that quick morning tide. - For **striped bass**, try trolling SP Minnow or Yo-Zuri plugs, drifting live anchovies, or casting bucktail jigs at tide lines or bridge pilings. **Hot spots to target:** - **Angel Island’s west side**: Fish right up to slack tide on the rocky outcrops for rockfish and on the drop-offs for lingcod. Throw a crab pot over the side and hang tight. - **Central Bay, around Treasure Island and the Berkeley flats**: The striper and lingcod bite is best here on that outgoing push. - For pier and shore action: **Fort Point Pier** and Crissy Field’s riprap offer good odds for crabbers and the occasional winter striper, especially on an incoming t This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We kicked off with **sunrise at 6:50 AM** and expect a colorful sunset at 4:57 PM. The morning started chilly and overcast, with light winds from the west pushing some patchy fog across the bridges. Mild weather’s holding through midday, peaking in the low 60s, perfect for layered gear and comfortable hours at the rail. **Tides today:** We’re coming off a 1.1 ft low right around 1:25 AM, with the morning high rolling in strong at 8:16 AM—peaking nearly 5.7 ft. Midday slack and an afternoon outgoing make for good movement at the bottom and edges. According to Tides4Fishing, solunar activity reads “average”: expect the bite to pick up at tide changes, especially mid-morning. **Recent fish counts** have been stellar. Charter boats from SF, Berkeley, and Emeryville report full limits of **Dungeness crab** and rockfish. Highlights: - California Dawn (Berkeley): 230 crab, 230 rockfish from 23 anglers - Argo (SF): Striped bass showing, 6 brought in by only 3 anglers on a half-day - C Gull II & Lady K (Emeryville): Over 320 crab and 10 lingcod in total - Lovely Martha (SF): 270 crab, 9 lingcod, 270 rockfish for its crowd Anglers targeting **rockfish, lingcod, and crab** have had the best action. Rockfish are hungry—think browns, vermilions, blacks—and the lingcod bite is spotty, but the lucky ones are pulling up big, toothy blue-backed monsters. Crab pots are full. If you haven’t kicked off your crab season, now’s the time. Some boats even report single anglers hauling 10 crab apiece. **Best baits and lures right now:** - For crab: Mackerel, squid, or chicken scraps in pots. Be sure to refresh bait often. - For rockfish & lingcod: Try shrimp flies in chartreuse or root beer, white or pink grubs, and swim baits. Locals swear by the 5” Berkeley Gulp Jerk Shad rigged dropper loop style, paired with a hefty leadhead for getting down fast in the morning tides. - Striped bass: Trolling plugs (Yo-Zuri or SP Minnow), drifting live anchovy, or tossing bucktail jigs at the edges of shoreline structure where current meets slack water. The **hot spots this week:** - Angel Island’s west side, especially at tide change, stacked with rockfish holding on rocky outcrops and easy crab pot drops. - The central Bay, around Treasure Island and the Berkeley flats; boaters and shore anglers alike found nice slots of stripers and keeper lingcod on tidal swings. If you’re landlocked, Fort Point Pier and the rocks below Crissy Field continue to produce, especially if you get moving water and fish the incoming. Shoreside crabbers are reporting keepers at Oyster Point—try weighted rings or snares for best results.

The fall bite keeps rolling with solid action and prospects for a mixed bag, if you’re picking your times right and matching your baits to the bite. Sunrise hit at 6:49 a.m., with sunset set for 4:58 p.m. The weather this morning opened cool and foggy in some spots, light west winds building to around 10 knots through midday, while skies are set to clear a bit as the day goes on. Highs will barely crack 60 degrees, so layer up—especially if you’re chasing the bay breeze. Tidewise, today we’ve got moderate swings: low tide at 12:41 a.m. (just under a foot), a solid high tide at 7:46 a.m. around 5 and a half feet, another low 1:46 p.m. at about 1.6 feet, and a final evening high at 7:40 p.m. near 4.5 feet. Plenty of moving water means hungry fish, especially at first light and in the evening window, so plan your runs and drifts to catch the flood and ebb[SanFranciscoTides.net]. The main story this week on the saltwater side has been limits of quality rockfish and robust Dungeness crab counts for those heading outside the Gate. Headboats and private skiffs working the Marin coastline, the North Bar, and as far south as the Farallones are reporting “lights out” action, especially on the combo trips where it’s a two-for-one ticket on rocks and crabs. If you want numbers, NorCal Fish Reports says several boats were back at the dock before noon with full sacks of rockfish, lingcod up to 20 pounds, and Dungeness piles stacking up on the decks[Fish Sniffer][NorCalFishReports.com]. If you’re targeting the rockfish, nothing fancy is needed: shrimp flies, small swim baits with flasher leads, and classic metal jigs (the P-Line Laser Minnow is still king out deep). For lings, switch to larger swimbaits or root beer or white scampi tails bounced tight to the bottom. Squid and mackerel strips get bit when the bigger lings are around. Inside the Bay, striper anglers are still seeing some nice fish, especially in the South Bay channel edges and the flats of the Berkeley and Alameda shorelines on the outgoing tide. Best bets continue to be white or chartreuse swimbaits, bucktail jigs, or live anchovies if you’re able to get ‘em. For those anchoring and soaking bait, fresh cut anchovy or pile worm near the rockpiles and piers is putting keepers on stringers, especially in the early morning moving water. Halibut action has slowed but is by no means done—try Paradise, Angel Island, or the deeper edges off Treasure Island. Drifting live bait or jigging a white curly-tail grub tipped with herring is putting the last of the season’s flatties in the box.

Sunrise hit at 6:48 a.m., with sunset due at 4:59 p.m. We’re entering the tail end of a cool, gray spell—mostly cloudy overhead, with a daytime high pushing to the upper 60s and a light southwest breeze around 10 knots. Expect swell around 4–6 feet and a slight chance of scattered showers late in the day, according to the National Weather Service and AccuWeather. As for the water, we’ve got a **high tide at 7:06 a.m. at 5.37 feet** and low tide rolling in at 12:49 p.m. at 2.18 feet, based on data from tide-forecast.com. This means a solid morning push followed by dropping water mid-day. These moving tides get the fish feeding and help set up classic bay area action. Fish reports from this past week have brought in a mixed bag, especially from local party boats and regulars fishing piers and shorelines. Emeryville and central bay charters reported strong numbers of **rockfish**—often over 200 per trip on rock piles and deeper ledges—plus good catches of **sand bass**, **calico bass**, and scattered **halibut** up to 10 pounds, according to Fish Emeryville and Fisherman's Landing. There've also been spot checks of **striped bass** working the deeper tidal seams near Oyster Point and Candlestick, with several healthy keeper-sized fish landed. Pier and surf regulars have been landing **barred surfperch** and the odd **corbina**—best baits are still **sand crabs**, **fresh mussels**, and **bloodworms** on a basic high-low rig. For rays and smaller sharks—especially thornback and smoothhounds—bring a chunk of squid or mackerel; lively bait works best for the big boys. For lure selection, locals are swearing by **Berkeley Gulp grubs (motor oil or root beer color)** for perch, while bass and stripers are smashing on **Wild Thing swim baits**—especially silver/blue patterns and anything that mimics anchovy. AA Cotee Lures in white/blue or clear/silver have also picked up several halibut and stray stripers. If you don’t have live anchovy, try cut mackerel or pilchard, but swim baits are out-fishing bait right now. Keep in mind—Dungeness crab season remains delayed, as reported by the San Francisco Standard. Rock crab and red crab are available if you set traps near rocky structure inside the bay, but Dungeness pots will sit empty until the season opens, so hang tight for the big boil. Hot spots for this week: - **Alameda Rock Wall:** Great for stripers on an outgoing tide and easy perch near the shallows. - **Berkeley Pier area:** Reliable for mixed bags, especially rockfish and bass around tide changes. For boaters, **Angel Island’s south side** and the **Potrero Reach** channel have held feeding schools of bass and deep-water halibut. Kayakers: hit the flats near Candlestick for perch and a shot at leopards or bat rays.

Sunrise hit at 6:46 am and you can expect sunset right around 5:01 pm, giving us good daylight for most of your target windows. Early fog burned off quickly, and by mid-morning, we’re looking at **partly cloudy skies, light northwest wind at 5–10 knots, and temps starting in the low 50s, climbing to mid-60s by the afternoon**. The barometer’s steady and the current marine layer is thin, making for comfortable conditions out on the water. Today’s **tide cycle is textbook fall transition**: we started with a high at 5:25 am of 4.95 feet, dropped to a 3.16-foot low at 10:16 am, then bounced back up for a 5.29-foot high at 3:44 pm. The late-evening outgoing tide bottoms out at -0.1 feet just before 11 pm. Expect moderate current and decent water movement during the afternoon high, which should get the fish moving and feeding. **Fishing action has been fired up the past 24 hours.** Out of Berkeley and Emeryville, the party boats are raking up limits of jumbo **Dungeness crab**—virtually every angler walked off with their max. On the rockfish front, catches have been “wide open”: yesterday saw boats like the Happy Hooker and New Huck Finn stacking hundreds of **rockfish and double-digit lingcod**, with several lingcod topping 20 pounds. That means today’s odds are strong for bottom action—especially during the incoming and outgoing tide swings. San Francisco Bay and the inshore Delta are also producing good numbers of **striped bass**. Schools are holding around flats and rocky points near the Benicia/Martinez Bridge, but more are beginning to migrate east as water temps drop. Drifting live mudsuckers and minnows is bagging the bigger stripers right now. No word on monster catches, but anglers have reported solid fish into the teens and some quick limits. **Halibut remain in the mix,** though action is tapering as the water cools. If you’re targeting halibut, best bet is to troll or drift live anchovies or herring on tide changes near Oyster Point and the Berkeley Flats. A handful of flatties were confirmed yesterday on slow-moving tides. **Best lures and baits right now:** - For rockfish and lingcod: heavy-duty jig heads loaded with chartreuse or rootbeer swimbaits, plus big diamond jigs and squid strips. - For stripers: drifting live bait (mudsucker, anchovy) is tops, with soft-plastic flukes and chatterbaits also getting bites off points and rocky structure. - For crab: run chicken backs or salmon frames in your pots with weights on deeper drops, especially on the big swings. - For halibut: troll live bait or try large frozen herring—white and glow bucktail jigs on slow tides work in a pinch. **Hot spots to hit today:** - The main Rockwall off Berkeley for wide-open rockfish and lingcod. - The flats and channel edges around Treasure Island for stripers and an outside shot at late-season halibut. - Crabbing is as good as it This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Expect moderate current and decent water movement during the afternoon high, which should get the fish moving and feeding. **Fishing action has been fired up the past 24 hours.** Out of Berkeley and Emeryville, the party boats are raking up limits of jumbo **Dungeness crab**—virtually every angler walked off with their max. On the rockfish front, catches have been “wide open”: yesterday saw boats like the Happy Hooker and New Huck Finn stacking hundreds of **rockfish and double-digit lingcod**, with several lingcod topping 20 pounds. That means today’s odds are strong for bottom action—especially during the incoming and outgoing tide swings. San Francisco Bay and the inshore Delta are also producing good numbers of **striped bass**. Schools are holding around flats and rocky points near the Benicia/Martinez Bridge, but more are beginning to migrate east as water temps drop. Drifting live mudsuckers and minnows is bagging the bigger stripers right now. No word on monster catches, but anglers have reported solid fish into the teens and some quick limits. **Halibut remain in the mix,** though action is tapering as the water cools. If you’re targeting halibut, best bet is to troll or drift live anchovies or herring on tide changes near Oyster Point and the Berkeley Flats. A handful of flatties were confirmed yesterday on slow-moving tides. **Best lures and baits right now:** - For rockfish and lingcod: heavy-duty jig heads loaded with chartreuse or rootbeer swimbaits, plus big diamond jigs and squid strips. - For stripers: drifting live bait (mudsucker, anchovy) is tops, with soft-plastic flukes and chatterbaits also getting bites off points and rocky structure. - For crab: run chicken backs or salmon frames in your pots with weights on deeper drops, especially on the big swings. - For halibut: troll live bait or try large frozen herring—white and glow bucktail jigs on slow tides work in a pinch. **Hot spots to hit today:** - The main Rockwall off Berkeley for wide-open rockfish and lingcod. - The flats and channel edges around Treasure Island for stripers and an outside shot at late-season halibut. - Crabbing is as good as it This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 270 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI1093411528 Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for Monday, November 10, 2025. Gearing up before first light, let’s break down what’s happening out on the water in our beloved Bay and where you’ll want to toss your line today. Sunrise hit at 6:45 am this morning, and sunset’s coming up at 5:01 pm, so you’ve got a solid window for that after-work salt fix. The morning saw a high tide at 4:23 am at just about 4.8 feet, dropping down to a low at 8:48 am (3.3 feet), and then back up with another significant high at 2:33 pm (5.8 feet). That means some good moving water around late morning into early afternoon—prime time for predators to get active according to Tide-Forecast and Tides.net. Weather’s seasonably cool with patchy morning fog clearing to calm, mid-60s sunshine. The steady, light breeze has been ideal for both open-bay and sheltered water fishing. No big storms in the forecast, so the bay’s staying friendly. Let’s talk fish. The party boats have been getting into them, and I mean heavy. Over the weekend, crews out of San Francisco and Berkeley—boats like Bass Tub, California Dawn, and Lovely Martha—hauled in full limits of Dungeness crab and rockfish, with near-counts of 210 to 250 each for both species. Lingcod are popping up too, with multiple boats reporting two to four per trip and some bonus striped bass. The Golden State out of Berkeley put eight nice stripers on deck for just four anglers on a recent trip, so the linesides are still hanging in, especially on moving tide[Fish Reports via NorCalFishReports and Sportfishing Report]. If you’re crab-minded, now’s the time—pull pots early for the best chance before the crowds arrive, and remember, there are ongoing management concerns about entanglement, so pay attention to current advisories according to the latest conservation updates. On the artificial side, 4.5-inch swimbaits in ‘anchovy’ or ‘shad’ patterns rigged on ½-ounce jig heads have been hammering the stripers and rockfish, especially when tossed at structure or dock pilings with a little current. For live bait, pile worms and cut anchovy are top picks; the perch bite has been stubborn, but those little guys are more likely to eat natural bait than plastics right now. For hot spots, here are my picks: - **Alameda Rock Wall**: Still a fall favorite for stripers at dawn and dusk—work the eddies around the rocks. - **Berkeley Flats**: Best for mixed-bag rockfish and the chance of a bonus lingcod, especially on the afternoon flood tide. Don’t discount the **Marin shoreline** from Paradise Cut to Point Richmond, especially with the healthy tidal exchange we’ve got today. Toss swimbaits or live bait under bobbers right at the drop-offs. If you’re after crab, try the waters off Ocean Beach or Baker Beach, but set pots deep and check them right at the bottom of the tide for best results. Activity’s steady, but best windows are mornings on the drop and afternoons on the push.

The sun rose at 6:44 AM this morning, and anglers hit the water under partly cloudy skies and crisp, fall air. It looks like another classic autumn day out here on the Bay, with a sunset coming early at 5:02 PM. Plan accordingly for those after-work bites. Tides are running strong today. According to Tide-Forecast.com, we had a predawn high tide at 3:18 AM at 4.8 feet, dropping to a low at 7:32 AM around 3.26 feet. Look for the next big push—a high of 6.27 feet right around 1:31 PM. Currents will be moving with a significant tidal coefficient hovering around 79, so expect ample water movement and active fish, especially near structure and drop-offs. The evening brings a negative low at -0.97 feet by 8:39 PM, setting those crab traps up for a haul on the outgoing. Now for the fish counts—folks, the Bay’s been absolutely popping, especially on the party boats and charters. Reports from Nor Cal Fish Reports and 976-TUNA.com show boats like the Bass Tub out of San Francisco pulling full limits yesterday and again this morning: 220 Dungeness crab and 210 rockfish for 22 anglers. Emeryville and Berkeley fleets mirrored those numbers, pushing 100% limits of both crab and rockfish, with several boats hauling in bonus lingcod and even the occasional striped bass from inside the Gate. New Rayann out of Sausalito checked in with 36 lingcod up to 24 pounds, with every angler scoring hefty rockfish alongside crabs. Rockfish action remains on fire. The best baits are still the tried-and-true: drop shot rigs with shrimp flies, swimbaits, and small jigs in chartreuse or white. Lingcod are biting on large plastic swimbaits, trap rigs with whole herring, and big iron jigs jigged near bottom structure. For Dungeness crab, nothing beats chicken or fish scraps stuffed in traps, ideally placed just before or during the outgoing tide. From shore, pier anglers at Fort Point and the Berkeley Pier are reporting steady bites on pile worms, cut anchovies, and squid strips, drawing in surfperch, school-sized stripers, and the odd halibut—though keepers are rare this time of the year. For the kayak crowd, the Marin shoreline from Horseshoe Cove to Paradise Park is still producing mixed bags if you play the tides and keep your bait near the bottom. For lures, go with darker patterns on overcast mornings, then switch to flashier metals or white paddletails as the sun climbs. The best action has been on incoming tides, especially along rocky shelves and channel edges. Hot spots today? - The Marin Coast from Tennessee Valley out to Muir Beach is seeing epic lingcod and brown rockfish action. - Alcatraz and the North Bar are fantastic for those after quality rockfish and lingcod—a few lucky anglers even managed some bonus stripers midweek! - For Dungeness crab, drop your pots off Baker Beach and just outside the Gate; most boats are limiting before noon.

Here’s your Saturday, November 8, 2025 fishing report for San Francisco Bay and nearby saltwater. Sunrise hit at 6:43 a.m. and we’ll lose light just after 5:03 p.m. Today’s tides bring a strong swing: expect a morning high at 2:13 a.m. (4.85 ft), low at 6:29 a.m. (3.04 ft), the biggest high at 12:35 p.m. (6.66 ft), and the evening ebb pushing out at 7:40 p.m. (-1.35 ft), according to Tide-Forecast.com. That morning outgoing tide should set up solid striper and halibut action at creek mouths and around the flats. Weatherwise, it’s starting off calm and cool, with only patchy fog and light onshore breezes. AccuWeather and NWS both mention the weekend will warm up and stay sunny—a great recipe for a full day on the water after that evening chill. But there’s a Beach Hazards Statement in effect until 9 a.m., so watch out for sneaker waves and rip currents, especially along the ocean beaches and jetties, as flagged by the National Weather Service San Francisco. Now, fish counts are confirming the late fall run is straight-up hot for bottom fishers and crabbers. California Dawn and the Emeryville party fleet have been stuffing sacks: counts from California Dawn show 190 Dungeness crab and 139 rockfish for 19 anglers yesterday. The New Huck Finn, TigerFish, and others are double-limiting on Dungeness and rockfish, with boats routinely hitting 10-crab and 10-rockfish limits per rod by lunch, based on NorCalFishReports and local docks. Rockfish are biting down anywhere from Treasure Island out to the Marin Coast and especially near the Farallon Islands if you can get across the bar safely. Lingcod are also making their late season showing—with 2 to 10 lings per trip ranging from just-legal to a few 10- to 15-pounders mixed in. There are solid counts of cabezon and even some halibut holding in mud flats near Oyster Point on the last of the incoming tide. Sculpin, sanddab, sheephead, and perch are filling in the mixed bag, especially at deeper structure and pinnacles. Striped bass chasers have been rewarded around the Richmond shoreline—the mid-bay rockpiles and the edges of the South Bay have been producing keeper linesiders, mostly mid-20-inch fish with some pushing 30. Swimbait anglers, like those seen on YouTube, report aggressive surface takes at slack and outgoing tide near Oyster Point and the Berkeley Flats. Live bait, if you can get it, is still a top ticket. For lures, locals are crushing it on 4- to 6-inch white and chartreuse swimbaits for stripers and halibut. Metal jigs and root beer scampi tails bounced along hard bottoms draw the lingcod and big rockfish. If soaked bait is more your style, nothing beats squid strips or live anchovy this week—bring your shrimp flies and a two-hook bottom rig for a sure haul. Crabs are stacking up in 30- to 80-foot depths—drop pots around Angel Island or the Marin shoreline. Hot spots today?

Today’s off to a brisk fall start—sunrise came at 6:41 AM, and sunset will hit at 5:04 PM. Tides are running big: Tides4Fishing notes that the tidal coefficient is peaking high at 102 early, dropping to 98 by midday, meaning there’s plenty of water moving and those currents will be strong. If you’re after halibut or stripers, time your casts around the moving water, especially the outgoing tide late morning; you’ll find fish cruising those edges looking for an easy meal. Weather’s classic SF Bay autumn—chilly mornings warming with some sun and a cool onshore breeze, but no serious wind, and the water’s mellow without much chop. That’s making for seriously productive fishing this week. Reports coming in from Nor Cal Fish Reports and Fish Emeryville say the boats are hauling in limits of rockfish and Dungeness crab—yep, crab season’s live and the combo trips are cash money right now. Boats out of Emeryville are stacking the decks with fat rockfish, and a good grade of lingcod and jumbo crab are coming over the rails too—don’t forget your crab pots if you’re out near the Gate or the Marin coast! Nor Cal Fish Reports calls it “another epic day”, with many boats reporting 23 limits of quality rockfish and up to 18 lingcod per trip. The bay itself is staying hot for schoolie stripers, with Fly Fishing Specialties reporting solid action all fall. Trolling with hair-raisers or casting 4- to 6-inch swimbaits in white, chartreuse, or shad colors will pick up fish. On the bait side, live anchovies or pile worms are turning heads, especially drifting through the South Bay flats in 12-20 feet of water. On party boats, Fisherman’s Landing and Fish Emeryville data show the staples: rockfish remain reliable, with easy limits coming aboard, and a mix of lingcod, cabezon, a few halibut, and sheephead. Recent trips are seeing 160-196 rockfish, 18-plus lingcod, and daily limits of crab per angler. For the inshore crowd, perch and calico action is still steady off the piers with pile worms or Gulp! Sandworms. Best lures for the week? Drop a 2- to 4-ounce diamond jig or metal spoon near the bottom for lingcod and bigger rockfish—nothing fancy, just a straight retrieve with a few pops off the rocks. For stripers, cast soft swimbaits or white bucktail jigs along current seams and structure lines by the Richmond shoreline or near Oyster Point. If you’re up for finesse, try a tube or a jerk bait for the bass—clear water and strong currents are ideal for it, just like they’d use on the Delta. A couple hotspots to circle for the weekend: The Marin coastline out near Duxbury and Rocky Point is loading up with quality rockfish and lings.

Let's break down the details and what’s biting for folks gearing up to hit the water today. First off, looking at the tides—according to Tide-Forecast, we’ve got a high tide coming in early, followed by a midday low and a decent push into the afternoon. Expect strong tidal swings, with a tidal coefficient over 100 today, meaning currents will be ripping and that always spices up the bite. Plan your moves for those peak water movements: early high and late afternoon push should bring fish on the chew. Sunrise hit at 6:46 AM, with sunset set for 5:01 PM, so you’ve got a solid, crisp fall window for daylight fishing. Weather-wise, NOAA’s marine report calls for light east winds around 5 knots, with seas running 4 to 6 feet on a west swell. Not too bumpy in the Bay proper, but keep an eye on conditions if you push outside the bridge. Now for the real action—party boat scores are in and it’s all about **limits** right now. Fish Emeryville, Berkeley, and all up and down the City front, the boats are stacking up easy full bags on both **rockfish and Dungeness crab**. Yesterday, the C Gull II out of Emeryville and the Sea Wolf both put up limits, with every angler bringing in a basket of crab alongside fat rockfish. California Dawn II had 290 crab, plus 14 lingcod going to 28 pounds, and the Goldeneye 2000 posted similar hauls. 'Nor Cal Fish Reports' is calling it a "wide open rockfish and crab" scenario—just classic fall fishing at its best. Lure selection’s straightforward with these conditions. For rockfish, you can’t go wrong with chartreuse and white swimbaits, 4–6 inch paddle-tails, and large shrimp flies or feather rigs bouncing near structure. Drop those on 8–12 oz heads depending on the depth and current. Scented plastics and a dab of squid tip always help. As for lingcod, big flutter jigs in sardine and blue patterns, and XL swimbaits are drawing strikes—especially during that swift water on the outgoing. Consider a heavier jig for deeper holes and ledges off Alcatraz and Seal Rocks. Crabbing is easy limits on snares and hoop nets. Top baits this week have been salmon frames and chicken legs—oily is better. If you haven’t tried, squid also pulls in the jumbos. Bass and halibut are slowing down but not off entirely. Your best bet is an incoming morning tide, tossing soft jerkbaits or drifting herring around the flats from Oyster Point up to Berkeley Pier. Stripers are scattered but still ambushing baits along channel edges and pier pilings throughout the central Bay. A couple of hot spots to focus your efforts: - **North Bar of Angel Island:** Always productive for mixed rockfish and an occasional keeper ling. - **Berkeley Flats:** Good for a last shot at bass or halibut on a tide swing. - **Alcatraz and Treasure Island reefs:** Rockfish and lings stacked up tight.

'Nor Cal Fish Reports' is calling it a "wide open rockfish and crab" scenario—just classic fall fishing at its best. Lure selection’s straightforward with these conditions. For rockfish, you can’t go wrong with chartreuse and white swimbaits, 4–6 inch paddle-tails, and large shrimp flies or feather rigs bouncing near structure. Drop those on 8–12 oz heads depending on the depth and current. Scented plastics and a dab of squid tip always help. As for lingcod, big flutter jigs in sardine and blue patterns, and XL swimbaits are drawing strikes—especially during that swift water on the outgoing. Consider a heavier jig for deeper holes and ledges off Alcatraz and Seal Rocks. Crabbing is easy limits on snares and hoop nets. Top baits this week have been salmon frames and chicken legs—oily is better. If you haven’t tried, squid also pulls in the jumbos. Bass and halibut are slowing down but not off entirely. Your best bet is an incoming morning tide, tossing soft jerkbaits or drifting herring around the flats from Oyster Point up to Berkeley Pier. Stripers are scattered but still ambushing baits along channel edges and pier pilings throughout the central Bay. A couple of hot spots to focus your efforts: - **North Bar of Angel Island:** Always productive for mixed rockfish and an occasional keeper ling. - **Berkeley Flats:** Good for a last shot at bass or halibut on a tide swing. - **Alcatraz and Treasure Island reefs:** Rockfish and lings stacked up tight.

It’s a cool, foggy Bay Area morning, with patchy mist lingering through sunrise at 6:40 AM. Winds are set to build from the northwest this afternoon, so get your lines in early if you want calm water and the best bite. With sunset at 5:06 PM, the top windows are dawn and dusk, especially alongside today’s strong tidal swings—high amplitude means the currents will churn up bait and boost predator action, perfect for local anglers of all stripes, literally and figuratively, as reported by Tides4Fishing and Fishingreminder. Tide today is running hot: a tidal coefficient of 104 at sunrise rolling to 106 around noon. Big tides bring big current, and that’s when the stripers get fired up. Working the edges at Crissy Field, Fort Point, or the Embarcadero piers during those moving tides, you’ll find schoolie striped bass slashing bait balls close to shore. Best hardware right now is a 3- to 5-inch paddle-tail swimbait or bucktail jig, cast right into the current seam. If you’re heading out with fresh or cut anchovy, expect some quality bites—anchovy remains the classic for a reason, backed up by consistent catches reported out of Fish Emeryville and NorCal Fish Reports. Rockfish and Dungeness crab are the headliners offshore and in deeper Bay channels. Party boats working from Berkeley, Emeryville, and San Francisco reported easy limits yesterday—California Dawn, Sea Wolf, New Huck Finn, and Bass-Tub all came back with full crab pots (10 per angler) and sacks stuffed with rockfish. Lingcod are popping in small numbers but with some heft, especially if you’re bouncing a large swimbait, rubbertail jig, or octopus-tipped setup near rocks and reefs. Halibut are still in the mix but the bite is hit-or-miss—try slow-trolled herring-pattern plugs or drifted tray anchovy, especially if you see birds working a bait school inside the Central Bay. At night, leopard sharks and big bat rays are always a kick for pier and kayak folks; squid and oily cut mackerel do the trick, fished on simple sliding rigs near flats, channel edges, and pier pilings. For the surf contingent, barred surfperch are feeding in the first troughs at Ocean Beach and Baker Beach—gulp-style sandworms and grubs on a Carolina rig score best. Dress for spray and watch the set; an incoming tide plus a little churn will move these fish up tight. Hot spots today: - Crissy Field & Fort Point: Stripers and the odd halibut early. - Emeryville Flats: Dungeness crab and leopard shark, with a drop shot for halibut. - Baker Beach: Surfperch just into the trough with sandworms. Weather is staying gray and breezy come afternoon, so layer up and plan for a quick chill once the wind picks up. Water temps are still in the mid-50s; use just enough weight to tap bottom but not get buried—staying in contact with your lure is key when the tide rips through.

First light hit at 6:38 a.m. while sunset comes early at 5:07 p.m. Today we get just over 10 hours of sunlight. Tides are running strong: the tidal coefficient is exceptionally high, peaking at 104 by evening, promising big water swings and lively currents—so expect movement in the fish and the bait[San Francisco Tides4Fishing]. If you’re targeting structure, fish those current edges; it’s a textbook combo day for crab and rockfish. Weather at dawn was calm and mild—mid-50s at sunrise warming towards 64°F through midday, with little wind and patchy clouds. Conditions are prime for both shore and boat anglers. The San Francisco Bay clarity ranged between zero and four feet yesterday, temps running 58 to 64°F. While not crystal clear, it’s enough for fish like striped bass and rockfish to hunt aggressively, especially on the outgoing tide[Fly Fishing Specialties]. Let’s talk about what’s biting. The fleet continues to hammer limits on both Dungeness crab and rockfish. Limits are coming in strong out of Emeryville, Berkeley, and the City itself—boats like California Dawn, New Huck Finn, and Sea Wolf all scored their angler limits on both species yesterday, racking up thousands of crabs and rockfish combined. Lingcod numbers are coming in moderate—Emeryville boats reporting about 1-7 lingcod per trip. Striped bass are showing up closer into the Bay, with boats like Argo bringing ten bass for five anglers. Double-check: that’s solid! Recent party boat counts confirm the trend: near limits on crab and rockfish, with lingcod around and some bonus bonito for the mix[NorCalFishReports, SportfishingReport]. Bait and tackle recommendations: For rockfish and lingcod, go classic. Dropper loop rigs with pieces of squid or cut anchovy still dominate, especially if you’re drifting reefs or structure. For crab, chicken legs and fish carcasses in baited pots are putting up jumbo numbers across the board. If you’re tossing lures, swimbaits in rootbeer or motor oil are pulling rockfish off rocky structure; lingcod can’t resist a big white grub bounced on the bottom. Striped bass are hitting on live anchovies for those who can get them, but plenty are coming on shad patterned plastic lures—try them around the piers during peak current. If you’re surfcasting, bloodworms and pile worms remain reliable, especially during the higher tide surges. Hot spots to check out: - **Southampton Shoals:** Always a fall favorite, especially for those targeting mixed bag and keeper-size crab. - **Alcatraz Island**: Drifts around the rock piles northwest of Alcatraz produce solid numbers of rockfish and lingcod—best with a strong afternoon outgoing tide. - **Berkeley Flats:** Striped bass and crab, plus scattered schools of baitfish attracting hungry predators.

We’re rolling into the week with the Dungeness crab opener in full swing and the fall rockfish bite still going strong across the central Bay and outer coast. Sunrise came in at 6:37 a.m. with sunset expected at 5:07 p.m. Following a bright and crisp morning, the weather is staying classic autumn—cool, with light winds and patchy clouds, a perfect combo for both boat and pier action. The National Weather Service has flagged some higher-than-usual tides bringing minor flooding in the low-lying spots, so keep an eye on the ramp at Pier 7 and some of the marina parking lots. Tidewise, we’re seeing serious water movement: this morning started with a 1.1 ft low at 2:36 a.m., peaked with a 6.2 ft high at 9:09 a.m., dropped to a -0.1 ft low at 3:29 p.m., and another 5.0 ft high at 10:07 p.m. According to Tides4Fishing, this is a very high tidal coefficient day (97), which means major current swings—great for stirring up bait, but watch your anchor! Fish and crabs will be on the move, chasing easy meals. Now, the big story: Dungeness crab. Ever since Saturday’s opener, the reports from NorCal Fish Reports have been nothing short of fantastic. Berkeley and Emeryville charters—like the California Dawn, Sea Wolf, and TigerFish—are returning with boat limits: 10 crabs per angler, day after day. San Francisco boats, including Argo and Bass Tub, echoed the trend with full pots and happy anglers. Many combo trips are rounding out the haul with generous sacks of rockfish and even a smattering of lingcod: think 4-10 lings per boat and hundreds of assorted rockfish, especially at the edges of the reefs off Marin and the Farallones. For crabbers: chicken quarters and squid remain top baits—don’t get cute, use what works. Drop pots or rings just inside the Gate, Baker Beach, or the deepwater pockets by Alcatraz have been especially hot. With the big tide swings, plan for heavy rigging and don’t stray too far from gear—currents can sneak pots away on outgoing tides. On the finfish menu, rockfish are stacked along the Marin coast and around Seal Rocks. Darker swimbaits, copper jigs, and shrimp flies tipped with squid are dynamite this week. Lingcod are still aggressive with the colder water; larger paddle-tail soft plastics or blue/silver metal jigs are getting steady grabs, especially near structure. Party boat catches suggest reds, browns, and black rockfish are leading the counts, with plenty of cabezon mixed in. Halibut action inside the bay has slowed with the chill, but the occasional keeper is coming off drop-shot sardine rigs around the Alameda rockwall and Treasure Island. Stripers are schooling under the birds near Oyster Point and Candlestick—trolling shallow-running white/chartreuse plugs or casting SP Minnows at first light is your best bet.

The sun rose at 6:36 AM, and will set at 5:09 PM tonight, so you’ve got prime daylight to hit the water. The weather’s typical Bay fall—low 50s at dawn, mid 60s by midday, with patchy morning fog burning off fast and light winds forecasted by the National Weather Service: expect a mild breeze from the west at 5-10 knots, leaving bay waters pretty calm for small craft and kayaks. Tides are shaping up for solid action. The first low tide was at 1:58 AM, giving way to a big morning high at 8:43 AM of 5.77 feet. Afternoon slack comes with a very low tide at 2:50 PM, then we ramp to another high at 9:10 PM. That strong morning high and late evening incoming tide will light up the bite around structure and channels. Dungeness crab is the big news—recreational season opened just yesterday, November 1, except for waters north of the Sonoma/Mendocino line which remain closed for health reasons according to California Department of Fish & Wildlife. South of that line, you can drop hoop nets and snares, but crab traps are restricted between Sonoma/Mendocino and Lopez Point till further notice to reduce whale entanglements. If you’re targeting crabs, avoid the viscera (guts), as domoic acid may still be present; only pick the meat. Crabbers are reporting early limits in the morning; patience and regular net checks every two hours are key. Boat anglers out of Emeryville are scoring heavy on bottom fish. The Lady K boated 18 striped bass on a half-day run, and the New Huck Finn delivered 26 lingcod with a solid haul of 130 rockfish. Lings and rockfish are chewing on deep jigs: try 6-8 oz leadheads tipped with squid, or drop copper, sardine, or red-colored swimbaits. Diamond jigs and metal shads are working well when bounced along steep drop-offs. Surf and pier casters should try Berkeley Pier and Crissy Field—both have been producing surfperch and halibut. Berkeley Flats remains solid for late-season halibut, still open with a 22-inch size limit north of Point Sur. Use 3-4 inch white and chartreuse jerkbaits, like the Lucky Craft FlashMinnow 110SP, or cast pile worms and anchovy chunks on a sliding sinker setup. On beaches, dig up fresh sand crabs at low tide for perch, or use Gulp! camo sandworms. Top baits and lures for the Bay right now: - For stripers: blood or pile worms, cut anchovies, and topwater pencil poppers. - For lingcod/rockfish: squid strips, herring, and rootbeer swimbaits jigged near rocky bottom. - For surfperch: bits of pile worm, sand crabs, or soft plastics like Gulp! sandworms. - For Dungeness crabs: oily fish heads in hoop nets and snares. A couple of hot spots to try today: - The Oakland rock wall and deeper slips near the Port of Oakland—excellent for crab pots, rockfish, and occasional stray halibut. - Paradise Pier in Tiburon is a known late-fall honey hole for striped bass and crab, especially around the outgoing morning tide.

The Bay is buzzing this morning, and so are the anglers—let’s get you dialed in for a productive day on the water. **Tides & Weather:** We’ve got a classic fall tidal swing today. Low tide rolled through just after 2:30 a.m. at 0.56 feet, and we’re building toward a big high tide about 9:00 a.m., peaking around 5.4 feet. Another high tide will hit roughly 8:20 p.m. Tonight’s moonrise is at 7:54 p.m., and we had sunrise at 6:42 a.m., with sunset coming early at 5:03 p.m. According to tide-forecast.com, these big November tides are perfect for inshore feeders moving into the flats and marsh edges, especially at those tide changes. Weatherwise, it’s mild with clear skies and not much wind—prime fall conditions for both pier and boat action. **What’s Biting:** The bay lit up with **striper**, **halibut**, and **leopard shark** last week. NorCal Fish Reports and 976-TUNA note decent hauls of striped bass up to twenty-eight inches in the South Bay, with a steady halibut bite along the Oakland-Alameda estuary and near Angel Island. Anglers are hauling leopard sharks from Crissy Field and the Berkeley Flats, mostly released, but a few keepers in the mix. Out near the deeper sections, some rockfish (mostly smaller blues and blacks) are still coming over the rail. The real news: **Dungeness crab season opens today!** You can keep up to ten legal-sized crabs south of the Sonoma/Mendocino line, but you can’t use traps—just hoop nets and snares, because of the risk to whales, as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife cautions. Crabs were showing strong in pre-season test pots—look for them stacking up from Ocean Beach out to the Marin coastline. Inside the bay, surfperch and white seabass are still available, and the herring schools should start building in a few weeks. **Best Lures & Baits:** - For stripers: toss **chartreuse hair jigs** or **swim shads**, especially on the last of the flood tide. If you’re soakin’ bait, go with **anchovies** or cut sardines. - For halibut: nothing beats a **live shiner perch** on a sliding rig, or slow-trolling a **herring**. - For leopard shark and bat ray: fresh **squid strips** or whole anchovy fished on the bottom. - For Dungeness crab: use **raw chicken parts** or oily fish in your hoop nets and snares—the stinkier, the better for crabs. **Recent Counts:** Pier anglers at Fort Point and Pier 7 scored decent numbers of stripers, with some reporting up to a half-dozen fish before the tide slack. South Bay party boats reported limits of rockfish and a sprinkling of legal halibut. Surf anglers at Ocean Beach and Crissy Field reported strong perch action using **gulp sandworms and bloodworms**. **Hot Spots:** - **Berkeley Flats**: Turned in quality halibut and sharks this week; try just outside the marina. - **Crissy Field/Fort Point**: Great access for shore-bound folks with stripers cruising This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Surf anglers at Ocean Beach and Crissy Field reported strong perch action using **gulp sandworms and bloodworms**. **Hot Spots:** - **Berkeley Flats**: Turned in quality halibut and sharks this week; try just outside the marina. - **Crissy Field/Fort Point**: Great access for shore-bound folks with stripers cruising This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 245 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4336008031 Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for Friday, October 31, 2025. Today’s sunrise came at 7:34AM with sunset at 6:11PM. The air’s brisk, mid-50s at first light, climbing to low-60s midday—it’s classic bay fall: light morning fog giving way to bright skies and a soft southerly breeze keeping the water glassy. According to NOAA and the National Weather Service, expect calm conditions with winds around 5-10 knots this morning, rising slightly by evening, and small, steady swells—ideal for getting on the water. Tides are classic fall swing. We’re starting off with a low tide just before 2AM at 0.43 feet, peaking at a high of 5.44 feet about 9AM. After a moderate midday ebb (2.38 feet at 2:42PM), another strong push rolls in for a high just after 8PM at 5.11 feet, per San Francisco Pier 22 1/2 tide charts. So, best fishing happens on that early incoming flood and again right before sunset as those big tides move water—and fish—up into the shallows. Striped bass remain the prime bite across the Bay, with reports from Fish Emeryville and Nor Cal Fish Reports highlighting solid catches on live anchovies, shad-pattern swimbaits, and classic hair-raisers around Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the Oakland flats. Boat and bank anglers alike are hooking up. Late-fall schoolies are hot on moving baits as water temps cool off. Fish the outflows near the Ferry Building or drift the Alameda rockwall for best numbers. Halibut action’s still holding but slowing as the season winds down. The drift bite remains best near Treasure Island and the Berkeley Flats—guys dragging live bait rigs, herring, or big white flukes on a drop-shot are still pulling up quality fish, with keepers in the 10 to 15-pound range making the news on Fish Emeryville’s latest update. If you’re looking for multi-species action, the South Bay is producing solid leopard shark numbers, with squid and oily baits being key off Oyster Point and Coyote Point. Don’t sleep on perch along Crissy Field and Fort Point, especially during the morning flood—bring sand crabs or Gulp! camo worms for best results. For the line and tackle: SpiderWire Stealth Braid and Berkley Trilene XL continue to top Outdoor Gear Lab’s reviews for dependability and castability—critical when working structure for striper or halibut on the bay. If you’re headed for rock piles or dragging bait, consider a fluorocarbon leader to avoid those last-minute heartbreak break-offs. A heads up to crabbers: the Dungeness crab opener has been delayed north of the Sonoma/Mendocino line due to domoic acid, but pots drop south of Point Reyes starting tomorrow. If you’re targeting opener, remember state health agencies recommend you avoid eating the guts, just go for that sweet white meat. Final hot spots for today: - Angel Island’s east side and the Berkeley Reef for stripers and halibut on the flood. - Oyster Point pier for leopards and schoolie stripers several hours after the morning high. - Crissy Field and Fo This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sun popped up at 7:32 AM, and you’ll get daylight till a little after 6:14 PM, perfect for squeezing in a full day on the water. Weather’s classic Bay fall: cool, with little morning fog and a gentle breeze out of the west, forecasted high in the low 60s. Bring a windbreaker—layers are still smart out here as fog can creep up at midday. Tidal action is pretty mellow today. According to Tides4Fishing, the tidal coefficient sits low between 33 and 41—so current will be light with limited swing between highs and lows. That means slack water at midday and smaller moving windows for fast bites, so keep that bait dancing or drift through structure on either end of the tide for your best shot. The late fall bite in the Bay is still delivering. Rockfish and lingcod have been the main story outside the Gate and up along Marin’s rocky ledges. Boats out of Emeryville and Fish Emeryville just finished the bay rockfish season strong with limits of both rockfish and some bonus lings—plenty of solid red rockfish and quality lings to 12 pounds landed this week. Stripers in the Central and South Bay are still on fire, with fish moving through the flats early and then hanging on deeper structure as the sun climbs. Live anchovies and shiner perch are top baits, but plastics like white swimbaits or chartreuse paddle tails have put plenty of stripers in coolers lately as well. Halibut are still kicking around, mostly keepers in the 22 to 30-inch range. Drifting live bait (anchovies, herring, or squid strips) on a three-way rig is the go-to setup, especially on the edges of deeper channels near Alcatraz and along the Berkeley Flats. According to NorCal Fish Reports, the season pretty much ended with a bang, but those sticking it out by Angel Island and the Alameda rockwall have still been rewarded with quality ‘buts when tide and patience line up. When the rockfish and lings are on your mind, try squid-tipped jigs or metal bars bounced along rocky points at the Marin Headlands or past the Gate at the North Bar. The slower tide today is perfect for working lighter gear near structure; less weight, more sensitivity, more fun. Down by Oyster Point, reports have been steady for schoolie stripers on cut anchovy—fish the top or bottom of the tides for best action. For you lure lovers: try 5-inch white or glow swim shads for halibut and stripers, and don’t be afraid to throw chrome spoons or Kastmasters into running water around piers for mixed bag action. On the fly side, Lost Coast Outfitters keeps pushing the 10-foot 4wt rods as the local favorite, slinging clouser minnows in yellow/white to match the small anchovy schools still pushing around the Bay. Want some local hot spots? Here’s your short list: - **Berkeley Flats:** Drift live bait for halibut and stripers as the tide turns. - **Coast Guard Pier (Fort Point):** Great for a mixed This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Out on the bay this morning, first light hit at 7:31 AM, with sunset expected at 6:15 PM. The weather’s classic fall in the city—patchy low fog early burning off to clear skies, light northwest winds 5-10 knots, and temps in the low 60s. Layer up but expect a very fishable day. Tidal action runs on the moderate side with a high tide peaking near 8:12 AM and a low rolling in mid-afternoon, setting up a solid morning bite shifting to slower action as the day wears on. According to tides4fishing.com, the tidal coefficient is dropping a bit, making for easier drift control and productive outgoing water, especially in the central and south bay channels. The big story is striped bass—lots of ‘em. Sportfishing Report and Nor Cal Fish Reports are all over it: recent half-day charters like the Lovely Martha and Lady K both pulled in boat limits, with 15 anglers scoring 30 keeper stripers per trip. One two-angler run out of Fish Emeryville managed 50 bass released, 4 bass kept, plus 4 halibut added to the box. There’s no shortage of action on the schools running hard all over the flats and edges. Halibut catches are slowing near the racks and main shipping channel but there are still a few quality fish being picked off on live bait. Fall means working harder and paying attention to bait balls—look for birds working Foster City and the Alameda rock wall. For tackle, locals are getting it done with ¾ to 1-ounce white or chartreuse swimbaits and hair jigs—think P-Line or Big Hammer brands. Topwater walking baits early, then transition to drifting live anchovies or shiner perch if you’re after the bigger bass. Ghost shrimp or pile worms fished on sliding sinker rigs will get you attention from sturgeon closer to the Carquinez Strait, especially as we move towards bigger tidal swings later this week. For those rockfish junkies heading out the Gate, the Riptide Charters notes easy limits up the Marin coast. Bring your best-durable rod, like an Ugly Stik GX2 or Abu Garcia Veritas, and tip your shrimp fly rigs with squid strips. Drop deeper for a few late lingcod on metal jigs near Duxbury Reef and the North Bar. Dungeness crab remains off limits in most of the northern stretches—crab season opening has been delayed due to whale entanglement concerns and domoic acid warnings this year, so keep your pots at home for now, as reported by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. As far as hot spots, don’t ignore Berkeley Flats—birds working tight mean shakers and the odd halibut, but the bigger keeper bass are stacking on the edges of Raccoon Strait and Paradise Cay by the outgoing.

First light cracked the eastern sky at 7:29 AM, with sunset set for 6:12 PM. Expect 10 hours and 44 minutes of daylight today, giving you a solid window to get in on some steady October action. Marine weather brings classic Bay conditions: cool morning fog lingering after sunrise, with northwest winds ramping up by early afternoon. Water temps are running in the mid-50s, perfect for energetic predators pushing bait along the usual shorelines. Today's tides are moderate, with the tidal coefficient starting at 41 and trending lower through the day, meaning currents will be mild and workable for most shore and pier anglers. Early and late hours around each ebb and flood will be your golden ticket; slack periods will be slow. Watch for birds working—anchovy schools are still thick inshore and that's bringing game fish to the party. As for fish activity: the striped bass bite has been hot all week from Crissy Field down to the Embarcadero piers. This morning’s party boat counts from Lady K and Lovely Martha show limits on stripers, with 34 landed by 17 anglers on the morning trip alone, and 6 to a boat on the half-day runs—strong numbers for late October. Halibut are still trickling in, with the Argo reporting 4 nice California halibut and one bonus striper on the docks yesterday afternoon. Halibut are running sporadic but decent size for those slow-trolling herring or dragging live anchovy. On the night shift, leopard sharks and bat rays are responding well to squid and oily cut baits fished near channel edges and pilings—San Francisco and South Beach Harbor piers are putting up some good fights after dark. And don’t sleep on surfperch: Ocean Beach and Baker Beach have been producing steady barred surfperch in recent days, especially on gulp-style grubs and sandworms in the troughs between sets when the surf calms. Dungeness crab hopefuls will have to wait—the commercial season’s delayed until New Year’s due to whale entanglement risk and too much domoic acid in local shellfish. Recreational crab remains closed north of the Sonoma/Mendocino line, so check the regs before tossing traps. If you’re looking to match the hatch, 3–5 inch paddle-tail swimbaits in natural anchovy or shad colors are landing stripers early and late. Bucktail jigs tipped with a tiny strip of squid or anchovy are also dynamite. Bait-wise, live anchovy is your best bet for stripers and halibut, while surfperch are keyed in on sandworms or gulp grubs. For the big sharks and rays, nothing beats a chunk of freshly cut squid. A couple of local hot spots—hit the Center Street Wharf early before the crowds, or give Pier 15 a try in the mid-morning. Mission Bay, China Basin, and South Beach Harbor are prime for multispecies action, especially when the tide’s on the move. If you’re out for surfperch, target those troughs at Ocean Beach right at dawn or just before sunset. Do This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re rolling into fall with crisp mornings and good action for those chasing stripers, halibut, and rockfish on the Bay’s shifting tides. Today, sunrise came at 7:28 am and sunset will be at 6:18 pm, giving about 10 hours and 46 minutes of daylight according to Tides4Fishing. The tidal coefficient sits at 51 early and drops to 41 by evening—a moderate swing that brings some moving water but not those really ripping currents. Late October tides are manageable and prime for working the main channels and rockpiles. Weather-wise, expect that signature Bay Area morning fog giving way to partly cloudy skies. Air temps are fresh—high 50s early, climbing toward the mid 60s by afternoon. Winds off the water should stay below 10 knots. Conditions are stable and comfortable, especially for anglers in open boats or kayaks. Let’s talk action: Striped bass are the headline again this week. NorCal Fish Reports shows the Lovely Martha put 54 stripers on deck in a half-day run yesterday, and the Pacific Pearl, just across the bay in Emeryville, kicked up 46 in a morning trip. Most of these fish are schoolie size, 18-27 inches, with a few pushing beyond the slot. Halibut numbers are softening with the season, but some nice keepers are still trickling in; expect mostly single digits per boat, so treat each one like a prize. Rockfish limits held strong for those working the Marin coast and Farallon edges—with boats like the Sea Wolf posting 210 quality rockfish and 36 lingcod on full-day trips. It’s classic autumn bottom fishing: solid volume, and a good shot at a ling if you’re working the deeper structure. Best baits for stripers right now are still live anchovies and shiners, but if you’re casting, white hair jigs, soft swimbaits, and chrome Rat-L-Traps are putting fish in the box. Lost Coast Outfitters highlights that jerkbaits and glide baits can sometimes draw follows without a hookup, so try mixing speeds or adding a little scent to seal the deal. For halibut, bounce-ball rigs trailing tray herring, large sardines, or even squid strips are your top ticket. On the rockfish front: shrimp flies tipped with squid or Berkley Gulp, and 3-6 ounce metal jigs, are cleaning up. If you’re trying to pick a spot, here are my two hot picks: - **Alameda Rockwall:** This classic destination near the Oakland Harbor is putting up steady striper counts, especially on the outgoing tide. Try drifting live bait or working topwater plugs first light. - **Angel Island Coastline:** The drop-offs on the north and east side of Angel can be gold for both halibut and schoolie stripers. Hit the rocky shelves early before boat traffic pushes fish deeper. A quick heads-up: Bay Area crabbing is still on hold—California officials have pushed back the commercial Dungeness season again, so if you see crab, it probably came from out of state.

The bay is fishing absolutely stellar right now. Yesterday's numbers from the local fleet were outstanding. The Lovely Martha out of San Francisco brought in 54 striped bass and a California halibut with 27 anglers on their half-day morning trip. Over at Fish Emeryville, eight boats put 114 stripers, 475 rockfish, 46 lingcod, and 8 halibut on the dock with 110 anglers. The New Huck Finn had a particularly strong showing with 26 stripers and 100 rockfish. For tides today, we're looking at a moderate tidal coefficient around 51, dropping through the day. We had a high tide early this morning, with another coming this afternoon. The solar transit hits at 12:53 PM, and we've got about 10 hours and 46 minutes of daylight to work with. The striped bass bite has been phenomenal. These fish are schooled up and feeding aggressively. For artificials, you want to throw swimbaits in sardine or anchovy patterns. Work them near structure and along drop-offs. Live bait guys are crushing it with live sardines and anchovies. The halibut are mixed in with those stripers, so keep a rod rigged with a live bait on the bottom. The rockfish and lingcod action has been wide open for boats heading outside. The Sea Wolf absolutely loaded up yesterday with 36 lingcod and 210 rockfish. Jigs in white, chartreuse, or glow colors are producing. Bounce them on the bottom and be ready for aggressive strikes. Hot spots to focus on: The flats around Emeryville have been holding concentrations of stripers and halibut. Work the rocky structure and edges where baitfish congregate. San Francisco's waterfront has been producing steady striper action on both incoming and outgoing tides. Get out there before the crab combo season kicks in and these boats switch gears.

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 07:31:31 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for Sunday, October 26th. The bay is fishing absolutely stellar right now. Yesterday's numbers from the local fleet were outstanding. The Lovely Martha out of San Francisco brought in 54 striped bass and a California halibut with 27 anglers on their half-day morning trip. Over at Fish Emeryville, eight boats put 114 stripers, 475 rockfish, 46 lingcod, and 8 halibut on the dock with 110 anglers.

Today’s a classic fall Bay morning—low fog at dawn, air temps in the upper 50s warming to the mid-60s, light west winds coming in after noon, and the water’s glassy early with a mild onshore push building as the sun climbs. According to Tides4Fishing, we’re seeing a strong tidal coefficient today, with a morning high tide right around 6:30 AM and a decent outgoing pull peaking late morning, then another incoming tide pushing in by late afternoon. Sunrise was 7:27 AM, sunset will be 6:18 PM—plenty of daylight for both early risers and late casters. Fish activity is hot in the Bay right now. The latest fish counts from NorCal Fish Reports and local party boats show striped bass are banging—just yesterday the Lovely Martha returned from a half-day with 16 stripers and a California halibut for 8 anglers. The Oakland Anglers II out of Emeryville scored 28 striped bass, a halibut, and even a leopard shark for their morning run. Over in Berkeley, boats like the California Dawn II are bringing home big numbers of lingcod and rockfish—23 lings, up to 20 pounds, and 210 rockfish for 21 anglers on a full day. Emeryville boats report similar tallies, so if you want limits, rockcod and lings outside the Gate are dialed in right now. Surf and pier anglers are still reporting good catches of stripers from Crissy Field down to the Oyster Point piers. A few decent halibut have been landed along the Mission Creek and Candlestick shorelines, mostly on the turn of the tide or during early morning slack. For gear, local knowledge says tie on a Battlestar 115 Jerkbait in sardine or anchovy pattern—these jerkbaits are winning for stripers, halibut, and even the odd jacksmelt, especially with that slow-float action. Paddle tail swimbaits on half-ounce jigheads are killer when bounced near pilings, rocky ledges, or channel edges. If you’re drifting, try a three-way rig with live anchovy or sardine—anchovies are in the Bay, and stripers are on them. For bait folks, cut anchovies or herring work great for sturgeon and sharks out towards the Carquinez Strait, but in tight, stick with live anchovy, sardines, or even ghost shrimp for halibut and bass. Hot spots this weekend: - **Alameda Rockwall:** Lots of striped bass being caught at the tide change. Try casting from the marina out towards the rock piles early, and then work the flats once the tide starts moving. - **Yellow Bluff/Sausalito:** Perfect for live-bait drifting or tossing jerkbaits on those outgoing tides; regular scores on both big stripers and the occasional keepable halibut. - **Berkeley Flats:** Party boats cleaning up on rockfish and lingcod just outside the Gate, with steady action for those willing to make the trip. If you’re thinking about heading offshore, the crab combo trips are about to kick off, so get your rockfish and lings while you can—October is prime time before the gear switches over.

Conditions kicked off cool and crisp, with the marine layer burning off as the morning rolled in. Sunrise hit at 7:26 a.m. and we’ll see sunset at 6:19 p.m., giving anglers nearly 11 hours of prime light on the water. Tidal action is decent today, with a tidal coefficient starting out at a moderate 69, slowly tapering to 60 by evening. That means we’ve got notable tidal swings—expect stronger currents during the early morning and afternoon phases, which should get fish moving in all the right places, especially near prominent structure. Fishing has been lively across the fleet. According to Nor Cal Fish Reports and party boat dock totals, boats running out of Emeryville, Sausalito, and Half Moon Bay are stacking up excellent catches. Yesterday the Sea Wolf out of Emeryville put 18 anglers on 180 rockfish and 29 keeper lingcod—some pushing 15 pounds. The New Rayann out of Sausalito rounded up 26 hefty lingcod and 130 assorted rockfish for 13 anglers, while Half Moon Bay’s Queen of Hearts put each of its seven anglers on a personal limit of 10 rockfish. Those big counts are rolling in up and down the local coast, with the bulk of the catches coming from the deeper reefs and underwater structure just off the Marin Headlands and the famed Farallon Islands. In the Bay, the draggers and kayakers are finding nice striped bass runs working rips near Alcatraz and Treasure Island. Reports from a few local regulars suggest schoolie stripers in the 18-24 inch range are taking swimbaits and white hair jigs in the early hours, with higher tides producing more active bites. Live bait, especially anchovies and shiner perch fished on a sliding sinker rig, is a solid bet under the piers or near prominent pilings. For lures, go bright and bulky during murky conditions—four to six-inch soft plastics in chartreuse or pearl for stripers, and big curly tail grubs or metal jigs in orange, root beer, or blue for the rockfish and lings offshore. Lingcod in particular have been smashing large paddle-tail swimbaits rigged on heavy jigs in 80-120 feet near the island drop-offs. If you’re after halibut in the Bay, drift live anchovies on a halibut rig or try slow-rolling a sardine-patterned swimbait on sandy flats from Oyster Point or the Berkeley Flats. Your best hot spots today: - The deep rockpiles around the Farallon Islands for rockfish and lingcod. Boats here are hitting easy limits on both species, with the bycatch including the occasional cabezon. - Closer to home, the Marin Coast reefs off Tennessee Cove and the Marin Headlands are producing limits for those fishing inshore on smaller private boats or kayaks. - Inside the Bay, Crissy Field Pier is a top choice for stripers right now, and the oyster beds around Treasure Island continue to give up quality fish with the moving tide. Weather looks fair—light morning winds, building to a northwest breeze at 10-15 knots t This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re midway through fall, and the bite’s heating up as much as the tides. Today’s **tidal coefficient clocks in at 82**, which means sweeping currents and significant movement—ideal for active fish, but demanding for anyone working structure or the banks. Expect impressive water flow through mid-morning, settling to a still lively 76 by sunset according to Tides4Fishing. So, your best window to target predators is the change from high slack to ebb. Weather-wise, expect typical Bay Area fall—brisk and partly cloudy, with highs in the upper 60s, light winds from the west building after noon. It’s a layer-up morning, but don’t skip sun protection; these autumn rays are deceptive. **Fishing activity this week:** According to NorCalFishReports and Fish Emeryville, boats heading to the Farallon Islands and outside the Gate have reported **limits of rockfish and lingcod**, many pushing the 5–8 lb class. Multiple skippers mentioned “lights out fishing” at the islands, with a few cod topping 10 pounds—so if you’re dreaming of a trophy, the Farallons are red-hot. Inshore, the bay itself has seen a steady pick of striped bass, especially around the piers and deeper drop-offs where currents stir up bait. **Recent catches:** - Lingcod and rockfish limits at Farallons and Ocean Beach reefs; quality has remained high, with chunky vermilions and blues[Fish Emeryville, NorCalFishReports]. - Striped bass showing at Oyster Point and South Bay bridge pilings, mostly school-sized but occasionally pushing 30 inches[San Francisco Bay Daily Fishing Report, Spreaker]. - Halibut catch reports have eased, but a few legal slabs are still coming on live bait from the Crissy and Berkeley flats. **Best lures and bait:** For rockfish and lingcod, local regulars are seeing top results with **6-8 oz leadhead jigs tipped with scented soft plastics**—white, chartreuse, and root beer are the colors of the week. Butterfly-style metal jigs and shrimp flies on double rigs remain a staple. For striped bass, shore anglers are scoring with **medium Kastmaster spoons, 5-inch paddle tails, and blood worms**. If soaking bait, try pile worms or squid for mixed rockfish; live anchovies or shiners if targeting halibut. Tackle Warehouse’s fall feature echoes this—deep-diving crankbaits and heavy jigs designed for swift current are a must, while stripers hit best on fast-retrieved glidebaits and minnow-imitating plugs. **Hot spots today:** - **Farallon Islands:** Boat trips consistently reporting rockfish and lingcod limits, fish are shallow in 60–100 ft[Fish Emeryville]. - **Oyster Point Piers:** Shore and kayak anglers are finding plenty of stripers and the odd halibut. - **South Bay bridge pilings, especially Dumbarton:** Bass cruising at first light and dusk. - **Crissy Field Flats:** Prime for drifting live bait This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We've got some fantastic conditions shaping up today. The sun rose just before 7:30 AM and we're looking at nearly 11 hours of daylight. According to Tides4Fishing, our tidal coefficient is sitting at a strong 85, which means we're dealing with significant tidal movement - exactly what we want for active fish. The tides are cycling through with good amplitude, creating prime feeding windows. The striped bass action has been stellar from the Benicia-Martinez Bridge all the way down to Collinsville. Western Outdoor News reports the catch-and-release season kicked off earlier this month, and the diamondbacks have been hitting hard. Live bait is your ticket right now, especially working both sides of Broad Slough. The key is locating those schools - they're definitely in there. The coolest water around the Antioch Bridge has been holding good numbers of linesides. For those chasing largemouth bass, head up to the north Delta around Liberty Island. Flipping shallow structure has been producing solid results as these northern strain fish transition onto deeper structure with the cooling water temperatures. Out at the Farallon Islands, the rockfish and lingcod bite has been absolutely lights out. Fish Emeryville's boats brought in limits on October 21st - the New Huck Finn scored 36 lingcod and 180 rockfish with just 18 anglers, while the Sea Wolf matched that success. Full day trips are definitely worth the investment right now. For hot spots, I'm recommending two areas: First, that Benicia-Martinez stretch for stripers - work the current breaks with live bait. Second, Liberty Island for largemouth - pitch jigs and soft plastics into the shallow vegetation. Best baits right now are live threadfin shad and bullheads for stripers. For bass, you can't beat Texas-rigged creature baits in green pumpkin or black and blue. If you're heading offshore for rockfish and lings, fresh squid and live anchovies are money. Water temperatures are cooling nicely, which is firing up the fall bite. Remember, striped bass are catch-and-release right now, so handle them with care and get them back in the water quickly.

First light cracked at 7:24 this morning and we're heading for a sunset at 6:23 tonight. Tides are lively today: high at 12:17 AM, low at 5:27 AM, peak high swinging in at 11:47 AM with a strong 5.8 foot surge, and bottoming out again at 6:15 PM near dead low. According to Tides4Fishing, we’re looking at a tidal coefficient of 85, which means heavy currents, plenty of movement, and some spicy bite windows. Expect the best action to frame today’s major tide changes. Weather’s typical autumn Bay fare—early clouds burning off to partial sun and a high in the mid-60s. Winds will hover around 8 to 13 mph. Pack a windbreaker; the breeze is enough to chop up the surface come midday. Recent catches are keeping the local tackle shops buzzing. Nor Cal Fish Reports says Sunday’s charters limited out on striped bass, with boats like the Happy Hooker and local party boats reporting scores of two bass per angler—some chunky schoolies up to 21 inches, plus a bonus halibut here and there. Bottom action remains hot with the Farallon trips sticking solid limits of lingcod and quality rockfish, especially ahead of fronts and during strong tidal swings. Inside the Bay, striped bass are pushing up into the shallows near Oyster Point and the Berkeley Flats, responding to anchovy schools swept in by the tides. Reports coming from YouTube anglers like Jared FishBoi and other locals confirm stripers eating both lures and live bait on rainy and overcast days. Drifting live anchovy or pile worm’s a staple, but top lures right now are 4” to 6” paddle tail swimbaits in shad or white, Kastmasters, and Rat-L-Trap style rattlebaits. If you’re fan of surface fun, spooks and pencil poppers at dawn around the San Mateo Bridge pilings have been getting crushed. Halibut action’s firmer out near Alcatraz and Angel Island, mainly upcoming or just past peak tide. Trollers are scoring on herring and chartreuse or white hoochies behind flashers, but don’t overlook a bounce-balling setup with frozen anchovy, especially as water clarity holds decent. For rockfish and lingcod, party boats are still heading offshore when the wind allows. Fish Emeryville posted full limits yesterday at the islands, with big canaries, cabezon, chunky lings, and some real “jumbos” coming over the rails. Best baits are still squid strips and large swimbaits, especially root beer or motor oil colors. Bring heavy jig heads—those swells are rolling. Hot spots to consider today: - The Berkeley Flats at high tide for stripers—drift the edges of weed beds and current seams. - Oyster Point and South Bay channels for stripers and a shot at halibut during the strong late morning push. - Alcatraz and Angel Island drop-offs for halibut on the high slack. - The edges off Point Bonita or the Farallon Islands for rockfish/lingcod if you’re booking a spot boat.

Fish Emeryville posted full limits yesterday at the islands, with big canaries, cabezon, chunky lings, and some real “jumbos” coming over the rails. Best baits are still squid strips and large swimbaits, especially root beer or motor oil colors. Bring heavy jig heads—those swells are rolling. Hot spots to consider today: - The Berkeley Flats at high tide for stripers—drift the edges of weed beds and current seams. - Oyster Point and South Bay channels for stripers and a shot at halibut during the strong late morning push. - Alcatraz and Angel Island drop-offs for halibut on the high slack. - The edges off Point Bonita or the Farallon Islands for rockfish/lingcod if you’re booking a spot boat.

The Bay woke up under calm autumn skies with a light breeze; a typical October morning, with sunrise at 7:22 AM and sunset set for 6:24 PM. We're getting just over eleven hours of daylight, and the tidal coefficient today is a whopping 83, climbing up to 85 by noon—expect strong currents and large tidal swings out on the water, giving predator fish a real appetite, especially around structure and rips. Tides will be moving aggressively, so time those drifts and target slack tide windows for best bite risk. On the weather front, it’s mild and clear, mid to upper 60s through the morning before warming slightly by the afternoon. Ideal conditions for both boat fishermen and shore casters, with just a touch of haze rolling in around the bridges later on. No advisories or closures for Bay launches and marinas this morning, so the whole waterfront’s open for business. Fish activity is wide open right now. According to Nor Cal Fish Reports and Sportfishing Report, party boats absolutely crushed it over the weekend and into Sunday, reporting “LIMITS OF BASS AGAIN!!!” out of San Francisco—boat scores like 20 limits (that’s 40 striped bass for 20 anglers!) and bonus halibut each trip. Emeryville’s boats brought in monster mixed bags: Sea Wolf pulled 46 lingcod and 230 rockfish full day, while Pacific Pearl landed 13 halibut and 24 stripers. Lingcod up to 23 pounds, sanddab, mackerel, and outstanding numbers of rockfish. Berkeley’s California Dawn checked in with 30 lingcod and 150 rockfish for a packed rail. Fresh catch counts show the bulk of successful fishing centered on striped bass, halibut, rockfish, and lingcod. The stripers are running thick in all the usual haunts, with bay halibut mixed in. Lingcod and rockfish limits are consistent for any deep reef or the Farallon Islands when weather allows boaters to make the run. Let’s talk tactics. With the crazy tidal action today, fish will be tight to current breaks, bridge pilings, and drop-offs. On the artificial side, folks are scoring with chartreuse paddle tail swimbaits, white hair jigs, and 5–7 inch shad plastics for stripers and halibut. Lingcod and rockfish are hammering dark-colored leadhead jigs tipped with squid or mackerel, and diamond jigs get hit hard over deeper reefs. Bait anglers should stock up on live anchovies or pileworms, with drifting live bait around Alcatraz, Treasure Island, and the flats outside the South Harbor especially effective. Stripers are still taking cut sardine chunks on dropper rigs. For the best action, your hot spots today: - Alcatraz Island and the surrounding rock piles are prime for both striper and halibut action—boats reported nonstop bites over the weekend. - Berkeley Flats continue to produce, with easy limits of rockfish and a shot at lingcod if you bounce jigs near structure. - Down south, the Oakland Estuary and t This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First light hit the water at 7:22 a.m., and we’ll see sunset at 6:25 p.m. Today brings us a classic mid-October combo: cool marine air in the 50s warming into the mid-60s by midday, with a light westerly breeze—prime fishing weather. High tidal activity is the story right now, with a robust tidal coefficient of 83. We started the morning with a 1.1 ft low tide at 4:25 am, rising to a solid 5.7 ft high at 11:01 am, before easing down to a smaller .7 ft low at 5:07 pm and a midnight high right under 5 feet according to Tides4Fishing. These strong, moving tides mean lively fish and plenty of current working in your favor today. Let’s talk fish counts—here’s the pulse on your favorite Bay species, straight off the party boat docks: - Stripers are hot this weekend. The Oakland Anglers II checked in with 44 striped bass on a half-day trip, while the Pacific Pearl put up 24 linesiders and 13 halibut for 12 anglers on a full-day. The Lovely Martha reported 20 stripers and 6 halibut out of San Francisco. - If rockfish and lingcod are your game, it’s flat-out limits across the boats. The Sea Wolf out of Emeryville tallied up 46 lingcod and 230 rockfish for 23 anglers, and the big ling bite continues with the California Dawn’s 30 lingcod (some up to 23 pounds) and a whopping 150 rockfish. New Rayann in Sausalito decked 34 lingcod and 170 rockfish—and those are just the highlights from Nor Cal Fish Reports and Sportfishing Report. Most action is centered around the deeper structure and bridge pilings. Use swimbaits and bucktail jigs for both striped bass and halibut—chartreuse and white are perennial favorites. The stripers are slamming topwater plugs and soft plastics early, especially during strong outgoing flows. The halibut are picking up live anchovies and herring, but frozen tray bait is taking its share as well. Don’t overlook drifting shiner perch if you can net them. For rockfish and lingcod, break out the shrimp flies paired with squid or herring strips. Large paddle-tail plastics or heavy iron jigs bounced off the bottom on the Marin side reefs are triggering some impressive lingcod. Color tip: It’s been a “motor oil” or root beer day for plastics, and salmon-belly or whole squid will up your odds for bigger lings. If you’re boatless, get on the action from the shorelines at Crissy Field or the San Mateo Bridge—stripers are busting bait in the surf and around the pilings on top of the tide, particularly at dawn and dusk. The Berkeley Flats and Angel Island are the go-tos for live bait halibut drifts. For structure hounds, the Marin Coast and South Channel are kicking out steady rockfish limits to those working deeper water and rocky ledges. Conditions are prime for a big bite window with all this tidal movement; look for the major peaks in solunar activity to coincide with your best chance at that trophy catch.

Fall is here and the bay’s serving up some of its most exciting fishing of the season. We’ve got a high tidal coefficient today—reaching 78 by sunset according to Tides4Fishing—which means swings between deep lows and impressive highs. You can expect strong current movement throughout the day, so be sure to play those tides if you want to stay on feeding fish. Sunrise hit at 7:19 AM and sunset’s at 6:27 PM, offering over eleven hours of daylight to work those hot bites. Weather this morning is cool and a little breezy, with a layer of marine fog rolling in early. Daytime highs should hang around the low 60s, warming a bit as the afternoon sun breaks through. Dress in layers—autumn mornings can bite harder than the striper if you’re underdressed. Fishing action around the Bay has been fantastic all week. NorCal Fish Reports and Fish Emeryville are still flashing LIMITS OF BASS for most boats just outside the Gate and inside, with anglers routinely boxing out on schoolie striped bass and some solid keeper halibut mixed in. The best bite is still coming on the outgoing tide, especially between the Berkeley Flats and the Alcatraz/Fish Alley corridor. Live anchovies continue to be the number one bait—either drifted or slow-trolled near the bottom. If you can’t score liveys, shiner perch are the next best thing. For folks slinging hardware, Rat-L-Trap lures in chrome and chartreuse and Yo-Zuri plugs tipped with a little plastic worm are turning heads. Plastic swimbaits with a paddle tail in white or anchovy patterns are deadly, especially near the Oakland and Richmond shoreline piers. The bottomfish bite is staying red-hot for those running outside the Golden Gate. As reported by The Fish Sniffer, full limits of rockfish and plenty of big lingcod are rolling in for party boats heading out of Emeryville, Berkeley, and Sausalito. Focus on the Marin Coast reefs and the Farallon Islands. Drop jigs, heavy bars, or shrimp flies tipped with squid down to the 80-120 foot range. The bite is best on slack-to-swinging tides just after those morning and late afternoon highs. A few lucky anglers are picking up the occasional white seabass on live anchovy drifts—try the southern edge of Angel Island over eelgrass beds. And for you surfcasters, things are just starting to pop for surfperch along Crissy Field and Ocean Beach, with plastic grubs, sandworms, and ghost shrimp as top producers. If you’re after sturgeon, early storm runoff has the bite starting to wake up around the Carquinez Strait. Salmon roe and lamprey eel have been working, but don’t overlook ghost or grass shrimp, especially as those big fall tides start pulling more food off the mudflats. For a couple hot spots today, Fisherman’s Wharf Pier 7 is a consistent striper hangout, and the Berkeley Pier area near the breakwall is firing for both bass and halibut on the outgoing tide.

Let's talk about what's happening on the water today. We've got 11 hours and 9 minutes of daylight with sunrise at 7:19 AM and sunset around 6:28 PM. The tidal coefficient is climbing from 70 this morning to higher numbers throughout the day, which means we're looking at some good current movement. Low tide hit at 3:11 AM at just 0.4 feet, high tide comes at 10:05 AM reaching 5.5 feet, then we drop to 1.6 feet at 3:47 PM before climbing back to 5.1 feet at 9:46 PM tonight. The action around the Golden Gate and inside the Bay has been solid this October. Schoolie striped bass are pushing bait to the shorelines at Crissy Field, Fort Point, and along the Embarcadero piers during dawn and dusk, especially on moving tides. You want to throw 3 to 5 inch paddle-tail swimbaits or bucktail jigs around those current seams. Live or cut anchovy works great too. Looking at recent catches from the local fleet, yesterday the New Rayann out of Sausalito brought in 34 lingcod up to 12 pounds plus 170 rockfish with 17 anglers aboard. Down at Half Moon Bay, the Queen of Hearts landed 150 rockfish and a lingcod with 15 fishermen. Inside the central and South Bay, halibut are still around but sporadic. Slow-troll those herring-pattern plugs or drift bait when the wind lays down. Night sessions are producing leopard sharks and bat rays on squid or oily baits near channel edges and pier pilings. On calmer surf days, barred surfperch are biting near troughs at Ocean Beach and Baker Beach on gulp-style grubs and sandworms. Water temps are sitting in the mid-50s with cool mornings bringing patchy fog. That northwest wind builds in the afternoon, so your best windows are early morning before it picks up and during the first and last two hours of the ebb and flood. Keep an eye out for bird activity and surface dimples marking those anchovy schools. Pro tip for today: match your lure weight to the current. Go just heavy enough to tick bottom. Maintaining contact without dragging dramatically increases your hookups on bass and halibut in these strong San Francisco tides. For hot spots, hit up the piers along the Embarcadero for stripers, or work the points at Crissy Field during the tide changes. South Beach Harbor has been producing steady action for those targeting a variety of species. Thanks for tuning in today. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's report.

First off, expect a classic foggy Bay morning with temperatures hanging in the mid-50s and a light northwest breeze. Winds will start off variable beneath 10 knots, shifting northwest and picking up to 10-15 knots into the afternoon, with seas right around three to five feet. Fishing off the beach or Bay piers will be most comfortable before noon, ahead of the wind switching on, so set the alarm and hit it early according to the National Weather Service. Sunrise was at 7:18 a.m., with sunset due at 6:30 p.m. That gives just over eleven hours for those looking to maximize their time on the water. The tides today are fairly modest—a low at 1:29 a.m. (0.0 ft), a solid high tide at 8:50 a.m. (5.1 ft), a minor ebb at 2:01 p.m. (2.7 ft), and a high again at 7:37 p.m. (5.2 ft). These moderate tidal coefficients mean currents will be manageable, but your best bite windows are in the first and last couple hours of these tide changes, especially around dawn and dusk. Watch for bird action and surface dimples—anchovy schools are getting pushed to the edges and the stripers are right behind them. Fish activity picks up with the moving water, and schoolie striped bass have shown strong nearshore appearances at Crissy Field, Fort Point, and the Embarcadero piers. Locals are scoring with 3–5 inch paddle-tail swimbaits and classic white or chartreuse bucktail jigs, working the seams and structure. For bait, cut anchovy or live if you can get it has been deadly, pinned to a sliding sinker or Carolina rig. Halibut are slowing down in the south and central Bay, but persistent trollers pulling herring-pattern plugs or gently drifting bait have still put a few quality flatfish on the deck when the wind backs off—try just outside South Beach Harbor and off Mission Bay for best odds. After sunset, pier hunters are leaning into night sessions for leopard sharks and bat rays. Squid and other oily baits fished near channel edges or pier pilings are bringing fish in, with some rays running to hefty sizes. On the oceanfront, Baker Beach and Ocean Beach have been producing barred surfperch on the calmer surf days. Gulp-style grubs in camo and motor oil, or a sandworm on a two-hook rig thrown into troughs and pockets, are solid options. Recent fish counts offshore have leaned more into rockfish and—occasionally—bluefin tuna for deep-water boats, but inside the Bay, expect mostly stripers, a few residual halibut, leopard shark, bat rays, and surfperch. Numbers in the Bay are healthy but not outrageous; several anglers reported quick limits of schoolie bass yesterday off Pier 17 with a mix of swimbaits and anchovy. Hot spots to try today: Crissy Field in the early hours for stripers, Baker Beach for surfperch at mid-tide, and the Embarcadero piers (Pier 7 and Pier 17) for consistent bass and evening sharks.

Let’s start with the big picture: sunrise this morning was around 7:15am and sunset’s coming at 6:40pm, so we’ve got just shy of 11 and a half hours of daylight to work with—plenty of time to wet a line, but you’ll want to pick your windows smartly. According to Tides4Fishing, today’s tidal coefficient started at a modest 66, dropping to 58 by noon and then to 50 by nightfall. That means we’re looking at average tidal movement, not those wild swings that really get the fish fired up, but there’s still enough push to get things happening, especially around those tide changes. Tides looked like this: first high just after midnight at 5.05ft, a low at 3.38ft, then another high about 6ft mid-morning, and a low late afternoon. Plan your outings for the first and last two hours of the ebb and flood for best results. Weather-wise, expect classic Bay Area fall, with cool mornings and patchy fog burning off by late morning. That northwest wind has been picking up in the afternoons, so if you’re heading out after lunch, you might want to duck inside the Golden Gate or find some lee. The water’s sitting in the mid-50s, which, let’s be honest, isn’t exactly tropical, but it’s just right for our local game fish. Now, what’s biting? Over the last few days, the Berkeley and San Francisco party boats have been reporting solid catches of striped bass—California Dawn II and Reel Addiction 2 both logged double-digit bass counts, with average fish in the mid-20-inch range, and the occasional big boy in the mix. Lingcod are still showing up, mostly on the smaller side, but a few lunkers up to 26 pounds were brought aboard out of Berkeley. Halibut? Hit-and-miss, as usual for this time of year, with small numbers coming on slow trolled herring-pattern plugs or drifted baits. Down off Ocean Beach and Baker Beach, surf anglers are finding barred surfperch willing to play on gulp-style grubs and sandworms when the swell lays down. And for those night owls, channel edges and pier pilings are producing leopard sharks and bat rays on big, oily baits—think squid or mackerel. If you’re after the schoolie striped bass, the best action’s been early and late right along the Embarcadero piers, Crissy Field, and Fort Point. The key? Watch for bird activity and those dimples on the surface marking schools of anchovy—where those baitfish bunch up, there are stripers below. For the best chance at a bent rod, here’s what I’m rigging: - For striped bass, 3–5 inch paddle-tail swimbaits or bucktail jigs fished tight to current seams have been deadly. Live or cut anchovy also gets it done—match your lure weight to the current, just heavy enough to tick bottom. If you’re dragging, go lighter; if you’re floating past, go heavier. - Lingcod want anything that resembles a greenling or tiny rockfish This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s start with the big picture: sunrise this morning was around 7:15am and sunset’s coming at 6:40pm, so we’ve got just shy of 11 and a half hours of daylight to work with—plenty of time to wet a line, but you’ll want to pick your windows smartly.

We’ve got classic autumn bay weather lined up: cool at first light with some fog, then partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 60s. Winds are light, but expect the usual SF breeze to pick up through the afternoon, so pack your layers. Sunrise hit at 7:13 AM and we’ll see the sun duck behind the hills at 6:39 PM. On the water, prime conditions are shaping up nicely alongside the tides. The next high tide rolls in at 9:27 AM—sitting at just under five feet—followed by another low at 2:11 PM and a solid evening high at 7:38 PM right around sunset. Early morning and late evening are your windows for the best bites, especially with this tidal movement, so plan your tide swings accordingly, especially if you’re targeting those shallow flats or working rockpiles at slack tide according to the latest tide charts. Now to the action: the bite has absolutely lit up the Bay this week. According to Friday counts from NorCal Fish Reports and 976-TUNA, party boats out of Berkeley and Emeryville are coming in heavy: - The Happy Hooker brought in 22 halibut (to 25 lbs) and 32 striped bass for 16 folks. - The New Easy Rider landed 26 lingcod alongside 130 rockfish for 12 anglers. - California Dawn II and Pacific Dream both nailed halibut and full limits of bass. - Over in SF, the Lovely Martha put 7 nice halibut and 30 linesider bass on the dock in just a half-day trip. A few miles out, boats have found reefs loaded up: Sea Wolf and TigerFish both had 20+ quality lingcod and a literal boatload of rockfish for everyone aboard. Sculpin and rockfish numbers are strong for bottom bouncers, with over 1100 rockfish and nearly 700 sculpin caught yesterday among the local boats—101% proof that the fall variety bite is in full swing. Hot spots? Start at the Berkeley Flats for halibut on the morning high. Paradise Cay and Angel Island remain striper magnets—casting swim baits and trolling hair-raisers are both high-percentage right now. On the rockfish/lingcod front, the Marin Coast reefs and Mile Buoy off the Golden Gate have been top producers, especially on the outgoing swing. Best baits and lures: The name of the game is live anchovies for halibut and bass. For artificials, white and chartreuse swimbaits have been deadly, especially during low light. For rockfish and lings, a sardine- or squid-tipped jighead, or a root beer grub in fast water, is the ticket. Don’t forget the classic trap rig with live bait—if you can soak it near a drop-off, you’re going to get bit. Other news: South Bay anglers reported steady schoolie bass and the odd keeper halibut near Oyster Point and the San Mateo Bridge. Fishermen working the breakwaters and piers have seen action on pile worms and salted anchovies, with bonus jacksmelt and the rare perch in the mix. In the brackish upriver portion, some reported smallmouth and bluegill for the kids—always a good time up by Martine This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We woke up to classic **NorCal fall weather**: cool, foggy mornings rolling off the hills around the Bay. The thermometer’s wandering in the mid-50s, with patchy fog early and a building NW breeze expected this afternoon. Sunrise was right around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be just after 6:40 PM, so you’ve got over eleven hours of daylight to chase a bite. The **tides are running big today**, with a tidal coefficient starting at 98 and tapering off to 83 by evening. That means strong currents—prime conditions for active fish around structure and channel edges. Early morning and the last couple hours before dusk are your best windows, especially on the ebb and flood. Here’s what’s biting: it’s **Rockfish and Lingcod season in full swing**. According to Nor Cal Fish Reports, charter boats out of Berkeley and Emeryville have been returning with impressive numbers. Yesterday, the California Dawn II from Berkeley brought in **200 lingcod, 240 rockfish, and 48 sanddab** for 24 anglers. Emeryville boats reported solid scores too—C Gull II landed **2 halibut and 22 striped bass** on a morning half-day trip, while New Huck Finn added **22 lingcod and 110 rockfish** to the tally. If you’re after **striped bass**, schoolies are pushing anchovy bait close to shore at first and last light. Hot spots are Crissy Field, Fort Point, and along the Embarcadero piers. Paddle-tail swimbaits (3–5 inch) and bucktail jigs are the locals’ go-to; or drift live or cut anchovy if you want a classic approach. **Halibut** are still showing, especially in Central and South Bay. Trolling herring-pattern plugs on a slow drift works best during slack winds. For night owls, the leopard sharks and bat rays are lurking near pilings—squid or oily cut baits are top picks. Surf anglers, don’t miss out on Ocean Beach and Baker Beach. The **barred surfperch bite** is steady near troughs and holes—try Gulp grubs or sandworms for quick action. Rockfish and lingcod have taken center stage at all the local reefs and hard spots. Berkley Gulp Grubs are flying off Grumpy’s Tackle shelves for a reason—rig up on a dropper loop or use jigs just heavy enough to touch bottom but not drag. Lingcod are pounding on sportfish jigs and big swimbaits in 40-80 feet. If you need a few prime locations, locals are hitting: - **Pier 7 and Pier 15**—reliable striper and halibut action, with lots of bait pushing through. - **Fort Point rock wall**—stripers at dawn, lingering halibut as the tide swings. - **South Beach Harbor and China Basin**—great for bait dunkers and families, plus occasional perch and rays. Extra tip: Wharf hopping is alive and well. Try dawn or dusk around the Embarcadero piers—the light draws in schools, and outgoing tides mean more active bass and perch. Between the tides, the wind, and the seasonal shift, fish activity has been above average This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re starting off around sunrise, which hit at 7:11 am today, with sunset coming in at 6:41 pm. Tides are pushing—a low tide at 4:05 am (0.16 ft), high just before noon at 10:55 am (5.77 ft), another low at 4:30 pm (1.67 ft), and the second high at 10:34 pm (6.07 ft). Big tidal swings mean strong currents, perfect for stirring up bait and turning on fish activity. Weather’s classic Bay fall—morning fog with a cool bite in the air, light wind building from the northwest through the afternoon. Water temps are sitting in the mid-50s. With a waxing gibbous moon and clear early skies, visibility is up. If you’re itching to get out, hit the first hour of the flood or ebb for prime bite windows, especially as the wind picks up after noon. Recent catches around the Bay have been solid, especially for rockfish and lingcod. Fish Emeryville’s boats reported back-to-back full limits—Sea Wolf landed 44 lingcod and 220 rockfish for 22 folks, while New Huck Finn tallied 24 lingcod and 120 rockfish from the islands just yesterday. Oakland Anglers II got into halibut, scoring 4 keepers, plus 20 striped bass on a half-day run. The local Argo out of downtown San Francisco hooked up a California halibut and 4 striped bass for two anglers—so the bite’s there if you work for it. On the bait front, anchovies and sardines are still running thick, so either jig them up for fresh bait or pick up some at the Marina Store—open daily from 6 am. For live bait, anchovy and small herring get results. If you’re fishing the surf, Ocean Beach and Baker Beach have been delivering barred surfperch on gulp sandworms and grubs. Drag a bucktail jig or a 3–5 inch paddle-tail swimbait through the current seams for stripers, especially at dawn and dusk. Folks trolling slow herring-patterned plugs landed late-season halibut in the central and south Bay when wind and boat traffic eased. Rockfish and lingcod are stacking up heavy around structure—try Berkeley Flats or the north side of Angel Island with lead-head jigs sweetened with squid. For night owls, leopard sharks and bat rays have been coming to squid and oilier baits near the channel edges and pier pilings. Big tides and lunar phases have those feeders on the move, so set some rods at the old Ferry Building piers or South Harbor—both are producing. Best hotspots today are Crissy Field for sunrise striper action, Berkeley Marina if you want rockfish and lingcod limits, and the Embarcadero piers for mixed-bag possibilities, especially if you’re shore-bound. Angel Island’s north shore is another reliable spot for boaters—great rockfish and some surprise lingcod still biting deep. Keep your lures just heavy enough to tap the bottom, per Fishingreminder’s tip—it’ll boost your chances in these powerful October currents. That wraps today’s Bay bite—keep an eye on wind shifts and tidal swings for best results.

Today began with a classic cool Bay morning and a rising tide, with high water hitting around 11 AM. The tidal coefficient is at a very high 98, meaning we’ve got real strong movement—ideal for getting fish fired up and pulling bait toward structure. Sunrise was 7:09 AM, sunset due at 6:45 PM, so you’ve got over 11 hours of daylight to work with. Expect patchy fog early, clearing to brisk northwest winds into the afternoon with water temps steady in the mid-50s. Best bite windows remain dawn and dusk, especially those first and last two hours of moving tide. The star performers this week continue to be **striped bass**. Schoolies are actively chasing bait along Crissy Field, Fort Point, and the Embarcadero piers. Locals are hooking up with 3-5 inch paddle-tail swimbaits and bucktail jigs in white or chartreuse. Top producers are also dragging live or cut anchovy—never fails near the current seams and shadow lines. If you’re looking for halibut, bite’s spotty but not dead yet. Most action’s on slow-trolled herring-pattern plugs, drifted anchovy, or sardine when the wind stays down. Try the central and south Bay edges or work the drop-offs near Oyster Point. Evenings have produced a few small keepers, most coming from slow trolled plugs or carolina-rigged live bait. A classic Big Hammer swimbait or Lucky Craft Flash Minnow in MS Anchovy or Metallic Sardine are worth a shot. Down below, perch are always biting but know your limits: five per person, except shiner perch which are twenty. Rubberlip, black, white, and striped perch are found tight to the pilings. Best rig is a simple hi/lo with size 6 or 4 hooks tipped with pile worms, bloodworms, or grass shrimp. Market shrimp or mussel bits are backup options. Small grubs and Berkeley Gulp Sand Worms—especially in “camo” or “root beer”—get it done jigged just off bottom. On the night shift, leopard sharks and bat rays are prowling channel banks and pier pilings. Squid and oily baits bring the bigger ones up after sundown. Surfperch bite good near Ocean Beach and Baker Beach troughs—try gulp-style grubs and sandworms for steady action when the wind’s down and surf’s manageable. Reports from Fish Emeryville’s charters and NorCal Fish Reports call it “rockfish galore”: limits of mixed rockfish, plus several halibut landed, with plenty of striped bass and lingcod for the bag. On 976-Tuna’s trip, 24 anglers brought in a total haul of 279 fish—dominated by calico bass, bonito, and yellowtail, though that numbers comes from the region; locally, expect more perch and bass than yellowtail at the piers. Best artificial lures today are paddle tails in “anchovy” and “shad” colors, 3-5 inch swimbaits, bucktail jigs, and spoons like Kastmasters in chrome/blue. For bait, live or cut anchovy ranks top, followed by mussels, pile worms, and grass shrimp.

It’s Saturday, October 4, 2025, and if you’re looking to bend a rod in our backyard, you’ve come to the right place—let’s get right into it. **Weather & Water** According to local reports, we’re waking up to cool, patchy fog—classic October in The City—with water temps holding steady in the mid-50s. The wind’s expected to build out of the northwest this afternoon, but for now, things are calm—perfect for squeezing in a session before the bay starts to churn. Sunrise hit at 7:08 AM, sunset’s due for 6:46 PM, so you’ve got a full day, but the best windows are early and late, especially with these tides. **Tides Today** Today’s a day for those who love a big swing: tidal coefficient’s hitting 83, which means strong currents around the flood and ebb. Low was at 3:44 AM, high’s rolling in at 10:36 AM, then low again at 4:05 PM, and one more high pushing in after dark. The window just before and after the peak flows is prime—fish feed hard as the water moves. Remember, in the bay, the tide is your clock—fish the change, not the slack. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** Striped bass are the headline act right now. Schoolies are pushing anchovy schools up against the shorelines—Crissy Field, Fort Point, and the Embarcadero piers are lit up at dawn and dusk, especially on a moving tide. Local sharpies are catching quality fish on both bait and artificials, with reports of multiple hookups in a single session when the timing’s right. The size is mostly in the slot, but there are bruisers mixed in if you put in the time. Halibut are still in play, though they’re getting a bit more sporadic as the water cools. Slow-trolling herring-pattern plugs or drifting live bait when the wind lays down is your best bet. Over on the beaches, Ocean Beach and Baker Beach, barred surfperch are chewing in the troughs on calm days—Gulp! grubs and fresh sandworms are the ticket. Night anglers are scoring leopard sharks and bat rays off the piers and channel edges—squid and oily baits are working after dark. Occasionally, someone sticks a big sturgeon, but that’s a real patience game—and remember, the season’s on, but it’s catch and release only. **Lures & Baits: What’s Hot** For bass, match the hatch: 3–5 inch paddle-tail swimbaits or bucktail jigs, fished right along current seams, are crushing it. Color-wise, think anchovy/shad patterns—white, chartreuse, and olive are all working. Crankbaits, especially lipless and square bills, are triggering reaction strikes when worked over flats and structure—fast retrieves for the wanderers, slow rolls for the laid-up fish. According to norcalfishreports.com, anglers who match lure weight to the current—just heavy enough to tick bottom without dragging—are seeing way more hookups. Live bait?

Sat, 04 Oct 2025 07:30:25 -0000 full Inception Point AI G’day, this is Artificial Lure coming at you live from the fog-slippery edge of San Francisco Bay, just as the morning grey’s rolling in off Ocean Beach. It’s Saturday, October 4, 2025, and if you’re looking to bend a rod in our backyard, you’ve come to the right place—let’s get right into it. **Weather & Water** According to local reports, we’re waking up to cool, patchy fog—classic October in The City—with water temps holding steady in the mid-50s.

The Bay wakes today under clear fall skies, with that autumn crispness finally creeping in. Expect a mild morning with patchy fog burning off before noon and a high near 68. Winds will be light early, but expect that classic afternoon westerly to kick up, especially out near the Gate. Sunrise hit at 7:07AM and sunset rolls in around 6:49PM, so there’s a good, full day of angling ahead. The tides are working in our favor: low at 3:08AM, high at 10:14AM (nearly 5 feet), another low at 3:27PM, and a robust high at 9:23PM pushing 5.6 feet according to Tide-Forecast.com. Best fishing windows will bracket those high tides—early bites and then again late afternoon into evening, especially for those running boats offshore or working shoreline structure. The season’s cooling trend has triggered the fall bite. Party boat scores from Nor Cal Fish Reports say it all: yesterday out of Emeryville, the New Huck Finn saw 24 lingcod and 120 rockfish for just 12 anglers, and the Oakland Anglers II scored 10 halibut and 16 solid striped bass in a half-day run. That’s as good as it gets for late-season action. Nearshore, the persistent rockfish and lingcod schools are stacked up across the Marin coast and at the Farallon Islands. If targeting lingcod, big paddle tail swimbaits in glow or blue, or old-school iron jigs like the Ahi Live Deception, are money right now. Brown and orange twin-tail grubs are also working on the rocky patches. Rockfish will hit cut anchovy or squid strips, but Gulp! jerk shads have been hot and let you stay legal around bait restrictions. Inside the Bay, the halibut bite has been surprisingly solid for October, especially off the Berkeley Flats, Alcatraz, and the oyster beds near Treasure Island. Trolling or drifting herring, anchovy, or even a well-rigged sardine fillet behind a sliding sinker rig will get you a shot, especially bracketed around high tide slack. For stripers, live mudsuckers are a top producer, but plugging with 5-inch white or chartreuse swimbaits or hair-raiser jigs will get attention, especially working the Oakland rocks and the mouth of the Alameda estuary. Word from the Eastern Sierra Fish Reports: the white sturgeon sport season is now open in the Bay for catch-and-release through June. Early in the opener a few sturgeon have already been reported hooked on eel or ghost shrimp, especially along the channel edges near the Carquinez Bridge and by the China Camp area. Make sure to grab that no-fee sturgeon report card for the season. Hot spots for this weekend: - The Marin Coast and the Farallon Islands if you’ve got a boat—rockfish and lingcod galore. - Berkeley Flats for halibut and stripers with the tide movement. - The piers at Fort Point and Fort Mason—always potential for a quality striper run on the evening outgoing. Remember, keep an eye on those tides and play the moving water. Fish activity really l This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Big tides are lining up for strong activity today: first low at 1:31 a.m. at just over half a foot, surging to a 4.46-foot high at 9:21 a.m., another moderate low at 1:55 p.m., and an evening high at 7:20 p.m. peaking out at 5.19 feet. Sunrise hit at 7:05, with sunset to come early at 6:52. Plan your outings around those high-tide swings—fish are on the move and feeding with this much water moving around the Bay, especially mid-morning and just ahead of dusk, according to Tide-Forecast.com. We’re getting classic early fall weather around the city. It started cool and foggy before burning off, mid-60s at dawn, and by late morning temps should bump up into the low 70s with a light, steady westerly breeze. Shaping up for clear skies and comfortable casting—layers are your friend as always in the Bay. Fishing action’s been red hot all along the central and north Bay. Yesterday’s party boat logs from Nor Cal Fish Reports and Sportfishing Report show boats returning stuffed—take the Lovely Martha out of San Francisco: 44 lingcod and 220 rockfish for just 22 anglers, and that’s the norm this week. Up in Emeryville, the New Huck Finn and Sea Wolf both posted double limits of lingcod and rockfish averaging nearly two a rod. Berkeley’s California Dawn II brought in 62 lings (up to 17 pounds), 310 rockfish and a mess of sanddab. It’s prime time for rockfish—brown, canary, vermillion, and blacks, with lingcod always lurking below. The Bay remains slower on halibut, but some keepers are still turning up on steep drops and outside the Gate. Striped bass are making short pushes up the piers near Mission Rock, so pack a rod for a shot at surface schoolers around dusk, especially if the bait balls are in. The go-to lures for today: big swimbaits in Pacific herring or sardine patterns to tempt those aggressive lingcod, and 3- to 6-ounce metal jigs for deeper drops in the shipping lanes or under the bridge towers. Shrimp flies and rock cod rigs tipped with squid or cut anchovy are filling sacks fast. If you’re working for bass in the shallows—try white swim jigs or smaller shad-imitating crankbaits, like a 1.5-size squarebill, pounded fast right along riprap and rocky pockets, as Yardbarker’s fall bass guide nods. Want some more action? High-probability hot spots today: - Seal Rocks and the Marin Coast for limits of mixed rockfish and lings; - Alcatraz Island’s east side, especially on the outgoing tide pushing bait along the reefs; - Mission Rock pier and the Berkeley Flats for a chance at fall-run stripers and halibut as they ambush bait washed by tide changes. Final tip: keep moving if bites slow, the pattern is “find the bait, find the fish.” Cover ground, fish fast, and you’ll go home with fillets for the fryer.

According to the Lovely Martha and Happy Hooker crews, 9/27 brought wide open action—boats saw limits of striped bass early, with plenty of catch and release, and a handful of nice halibut showing up for bonus fillets. Most of the inshore anglers around Alcatraz and Treasure Island reported much the same story: if you dropped an anchovy, sardine, or shad-pattern swimbait, you didn’t have to wait long for a hit. Weather this morning is classic fog-to-sun transition, typical for late September around the Bay. The NOAA forecast calls for light morning fog with clearing by midday, afternoon highs peaking near 70°F, and a gentle westerly breeze building after noon. Sunrise came at 7:02 a.m., and you’ll have lines in the water until about 6:57 p.m. tonight, so get your topwater casts in during first and last light—those will be your money windows for blowups and surges. Today’s tides are near perfect for action: an early morning high just after sunrise drawing bait up into the flats, followed by a solid outgoing tide around mid-morning. That sets up classic striper ambushes along the edges at Crissy Field, Berkeley Flats, and past the Oyster Point Channel. Don’t sleep on the South Bay, either—the outgoing flush often pushes halibut into feeding lanes just off SFO and Coyote Point, especially if you slow-drift herring or bounce ball a white swimbait with a chartreuse tail. Rockfish and lingcod are also putting on a show outside the Gate, according to Nor Cal Fish Reports. Yesterday, the Sea Wolf out of Emeryville pulled 200 rockfish and 40 lingcod for 20 anglers, while the California Dawn II from Berkeley landed 50 lingcod (up to 22 pounds) and 250 rockfish. Lingcod are still hanging on the deep reefs off the Marin and San Mateo coasts; big paddle tail swimbaits and bars in blues, whites, and glow are top producers, but sardine or mackerel chunks will get plenty of love. Baitwise, for stripers and halibut, herring and anchovies are the current MVPs, whether live, dead, or in scented soft plastics. Bass are still hammering on white flukes rigged weedless, as well as silver Kastmasters and mid-size SP Minnows in bone or sardine colors. If you’re chasing lings or big rockfish, don’t hesitate to rig up the heaviest jig or swimbait you can manage—there’s plenty of hungry jaws down there. Hot spots to hit today: - **Alcatraz and the West Side Flats** for stripers and overslot halibut during the first half of the outgoing tide. - **Berkeley Pier and the Emeryville Channel edges**, prime for shore-bound anglers tossing swimbaits or soaking pileworms for “schoolie” stripers. - **The Marin Coast reefs between Tennessee Cove and Rocky Point**—this stretch is loaded with lingcod and vermillion rockfish this week. Remember, the sturgeon season reopens October 1 for catch-and-release throughout the Bay.

The day gets rolling with the sun peeking up at 7:02 AM and setting down at 6:58 PM. We’re looking at classic Bay fall weather—patchy fog at first light, clearing out by late morning, and daytime highs hitting the mid-60s. Winds are gentle, so those of you setting out in smaller skiffs or kayaks, this is your window: the bay’s staying pretty mellow today. Checking the tides, you’ll have the first high at 4:39 AM (just under 4 feet), low out at 8:48 AM (around 3.3 feet), another big high tide peaking at 3:06 PM at 5.3 feet, then a late evening low at 10:12 PM[San Francisco tide-forecast.com, Tide Chart]. Best fishing action should stack up right through that late-morning tide swing—especially for those working reef edges or jetty points. On to the big news: party boats out of Berkeley and Emeryville have been hauling in impressive numbers. According to NorCal Fish Reports yesterday, the California Dawn II sent 15 anglers home with 50 lingcod (some topping 22 pounds!), a monster 250 rockfish, and 200 sanddab. The New Huck Finn and Sea Wolf got into the same mix: over 20 lingcod and well north of 100 rockfish per boat. Colors were flying—vermilion, copper, blacks, blues—if you like variety, this is as good as it gets. Lingcod are on the chew around the deeper reefs by South Tower and Marin Coastline, especially if you’re working past Alcatraz and Point Bonita. Off the bank and piers, the bite is picking up too. Candlestick Point’s producing some strong striped bass for anglers running paddle-tail swimbaits on half-ounce to 1.5-ounce heads, and frozen anchovy either on the bottom or under a slider. Oyster Point and Paradise Pier locals are also reporting good luck on both stripers and an occasional California halibut, especially as that afternoon tide fills in. From shore, stick with 4–6” swimbaits in bluegill or anchovy colors; offshore, white or chartreuse jigs tipped with squid strips are drawing aggressive hits from both big lings and beefy rockfish. When it comes to bait, frozen anchovies and sardines are the go-tos for those drifting or soaking on the reefs—rockfish and stripes can’t resist a chop of fresh. Live shiner perch or anchovy will up the odds for halibut if you can score them. Hot spots to circle? Give Pier 7 in downtown SF a try for striper and the shot at halibut, especially as we hit the late-morning rising water. The reefs off Marin and around Alcatraz continue to stack up with bragging-size rockfish and lingcod—if you’re heading out on a party boat or in your own ride, that’s the ticket for a quality sack. A couple reminders: Know your regs—no keeping quillback, yelloweye, cowcod, or bronzespotted rockfish. Canary rockfish is strictly two per bag. Always bring a descending device if you’re releasing fish back down deep; these new regulations from the California Fish and Game Commission are in play right now.

Crack of dawn was at 6:58 AM and you’ll have daylight until 7:03 PM—plenty of light to chase those tides. Speaking of, we’re riding off a waxing moon with a morning low around 5:12 AM, then the tide starts filling back in through late morning. Top water activity and bites should pick up through the flooding tide, especially as that sun edges up and brings a mild breeze with it. Weatherwise, the fog is lingering early, burning off by midmorning with high temps settling in the mid-60s. Not a lot of wind, so smaller boats can ply the bay without worrying about a nasty chop. Now onto the action: party boats out of Berkeley and Emeryville worked the reefs hard yesterday and absolutely killed it. According to NorCal Fish Reports and SportfishingReport dot com, the California Dawn II and others put up big numbers: the Dawn had 15 anglers bringing home 50 lingcod (some pushing 22 pounds), 250 rockfish, and a whopping 200 sanddab. Over in Emeryville, the New Huck Finn and Sea Wolf each racked up catches of 20-plus lingcod and more than 100 rockfish a piece. Lots of color in those sacks—vermilion, copper, black and blue rockfish all in the mix. Lingcod are biting aggressive if you’re working deeper reefs past Alcatraz and Point Bonita. Not to be outdone, surf and shore anglers are seeing better numbers too. Candlestick Point Pier’s been giving up some quality striped bass for folks soaking frozen anchovies or working paddle-tail swimbaits on jig heads. If you’re wading or jetty hopping around Oyster Point or the Paradise Pier, focus on those mid-morning to afternoon hours as the tide fills in—stripes and the occasional California halibut are on the prowl. What’s working best? For lures, local sharpies are killing it with 4 to 6 inch swimbaits in bluegill or anchovy patterns, bounced on 1 to 1.5 oz bullet or football heads. Lingcod and bigger rockfish love white or chartreuse colors, especially tipped with a strip of squid. On bait, frozen anchovies and sardines remain the go-to for both shore and boat—rockfish and stripers can’t resist a fresh chunk drifting near the reef edges. Hot spots? If you want numbers, book a trip or bring your own rig out to the South Tower and Marin Coastline reefs—they’re putting up banner scores on mixed rockfish and quality lings. For a solid bet off the bank, Pier 7 in the city and Paradise Pier in Tiburon both offer easy access to striper and halibut action, especially through that early afternoon incoming water. Keep in mind, you’ll want to double-check those species limits. Canary rockfish have a two-fish sub-bag statewide and you can’t keep quillback, cowcod, bronzespotted or yelloweye—so recognize your rockfish, and always carry a descending device if you’re sending fish back down offshore (NOAA Fisheries and California Fish and Game Commission set those regs ju This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. Fri, 26 Sep 2025 07:32:32 -0000 full Inception Point AI Morning anglers, it’s Friday, September 26th, and this is Artificial Lure bringing you your on-the-water scoop for fishing in and around San Francisco Bay. Crack of dawn was at 6:58 AM and you’ll have daylight until 7:03 PM—plenty of light to chase those tides. Speaking of, we’re riding off a waxing moon with a morning low around 5:12 AM, then the tide starts filling back in through late morning. Top water activity and bites should pick up through the flooding tide, especially as that sun edges up and brings a mild breeze with it.

The Bay greeted us today with classic fall conditions—temps hovering in the upper 50s at dawn, light winds, and a crisp marine layer. We had a brilliant sunrise at 6:59 a.m., with the day running just over 12 hours of sunlight before sunset at 7:03 p.m. Tidal movement is significant today, with a tidal coefficient kicking off high at 87—expect notably strong currents and water movement through midday, tapering off only slightly as the evening sets in, according to tides4fishing.com. When the tidal swings are big like this, focus on water moving around structure for the bite window. Those currents got the fish fired up: charter counts from Fish Emeryville show full-day boats have been seeing strong numbers. Yesterday, the Diamond put 50 rockfish and a lingcod on deck. Earlier this week, the Sea Wolf ran full limits of rockfish. The halibut bite’s slowing from summer’s fevered pitch, but there are still big fish rolling in: New Huck Finn’s full day trip landed 17 halibut and a couple of chunky striped bass on the inside[Fish Emeryville]. King salmon are pushing toward their spawn, and pier and breakwall anglers are landing chromers before they darken up. Heavy spoons—especially anything in glow or bright silver—are doing real work in the low-light hours. The Blue Fox Pixee spoon or classic gold Kastmaster is a local favorite. If you’re working the piers around Fort Baker or the Berkeley Marina, bring a salmon egg rig to drift below a bobber; reaction bites have been reliable as the run pushes upriver. For kayakers or those on the troll, try crankbaits and beef up your tackle—these kings are bruisers, easily topping 20 pounds some days. Rockfish and lingcod are definitely on the menu as offshore and Farallon trips crank up. Nor Cal Fish Reports reports “wide open fishing” on the reefs, with ample rockfish limits and lingcod showing up in both deep and mid-depth spots. Swimbaits in sardine patterns, large white grubs, and iron jigs are the ticket for lings, while rockfish are hammering shrimp flies paired with squid strips or small herring. Striped bass remain active in the shallows. Early mornings and flood tides are when you want to chuck topwater spooks or jerkbaits. Live anchovies or sardines are still a sure bet for both bass and halibut if you can get ‘em. As the water cools, expect bass to school up tighter, so follow the bird action in places like the South Bay flats or Crissy Field. Important update: Dungeness crab is strictly off-limits for now. Wardens recently nabbed poachers working Thornton Beach, rescuing hundreds of undersized crabs before they made the pot, with crab season not reopening until November, per the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. For hot spots today, check the Berkeley Flats for halibut—keep your drift short and tight to the channel edges at the start of the flood.

Sunrise eased in at 6:55 a.m., with twilight lingering until sunset at 7:06 p.m. According to Tides4Fishing, we’ve got a monster tidal swing today—tidal coefficients starting at 88 and ramping up to 91 by nightfall. That means brisk currents and plenty of water movement, perfect for stirring up feeding activity, but also challenging if you’re working structure—definitely check those charts before you drop anchor! Weather-wise, the Bay has been graced with classic fall conditions: cool morning fog burning off to mid-60s sun, with a breeze building through the afternoon. Layer up for those early launches, and keep tabs on gusts as the wind’s liable to pick up around the Golden Gate and points offshore. Fishing has been red-hot around the Bay this week. NorCal Fish Reports, as well as detailed logs from the likes of the Bass Tub, California Dawn, and New Rayann out of Berkeley and Sausalito, show full loads of *rockfish* and serious *lingcod* action. Just yesterday, boats like the California Dawn II reported 64 lingcod (up to 25 pounds!) and an easy 320 rockfish for 32 anglers. Out of Emeryville, the Sea Wolf put 48 lingcod and 240 rockfish on deck, while New Rayann out of Sausalito bagged 42 lingcod and 210 rockfish. Limits of bass and halibut have been coming in steady—the Lovely Martha notched 14 limits of striped bass with 4 quality halibut and even scored a soupfin shark to round out the count. Best baits have been anchovies and sardines, especially for halibut and bass. If you’re targeting lingcod or rockfish, go with large swimbaits or heavy jigs tipped with squid, and don’t be shy with bright or glow-in-the-dark patterns in deeper water. For bass, the Fishlab Nature Series Nymph soft plastics are showing solid results. Trolling with X-Rap Rapalas or drifting live bait in the slot around Alcatraz, Angel Island, and Treasure Island has produced consistent strikes. Some hot spots to try: - **Potato Patch (just outside the Golden Gate):** Fast-moving water today could have the lingcod pushing up onto the humps. Jigs and swimbaits near the bottom are producing. - **North Bar and Marin Coast:** For mixed bags of rockfish and big lings. - **Berkeley Flats & Angel Island:** Striped bass are holding here, especially on the morning flooding tide. Drift live anchovies or toss topwater plugs at dawn. - **Alameda Rockwall:** Halibut bites have been solid, especially early with the incoming tide. With big tides sweeping baitfish, predatory fish are aggressive early and late—plan to work through the slack and fish those tide changes for peak action. As always, if you’re venturing out on a private boat, double-check your weather, tides, and safety gear—it can get choppy in a hurry with afternoon breezes. Thanks for tuning in, anglers.

The fall run is picking up and the Bay is alive—let’s get right into it. Sunrise was at 6:56 AM this morning, and we’ll see sunset right around 7:10 PM, giving us over 12 hours to wet some lines. Conditions are prime for action, with a tidal coefficient starting high at 81 and climbing to 88 by the evening. That means big tide swings, strong currents, and lots of underwater movement — perfect for putting predatory fish on the hunt. According to Tides4Fishing, that’s the kind of day where bait and lures will both get snapped up quickly as those fish chase food from structure to structure. Weather-wise, we’re starting cool and clear with little fog, warming up to the mid-60s by mid-afternoon under partly sunny skies. Light westerly winds are on tap, so look for mostly flat water in the shallows but keep an eye on the breezes out by the Golden Gate. Now, for the hot bite: reports from The Fish Sniffer and NorCal Fish Reports are calling this one of the best times of year for variety. Rockfish, lingcod, and sanddab continue to come over the rails in impressive numbers — just yesterday, the California Dawn II out of Berkeley sent 26 anglers home with 52 lingcod (some over 20 pounds), 260 rockfish, and 260 sanddab for a full day’s haul. The TigerFish out of Emeryville saw similar counts with heavy sacks of big browns and reds. And the Pacific Dream found a nice showing of striped bass in the Bay, with 36 landed to go with their rockfish mix. Bay Area regulations right now let you keep rockfish, lingcod, and greenling at all depths within state waters, so the deeper reefs and ledges are wide open. Salmon fishing has just wrapped after meeting quota, but the drama has shifted to the reefs, jetties, and mud flats around the Bay and along the Marin and San Mateo coasts. For the striper faithful, the fall migration is beginning—schoolies are pushing in and bigger fish are starting to mix. Best bets are around the Berkeley Pier, Treasure Island, and the flats off Coyote Point, especially at the bottom of the outgoing tide as bait gets swept out. Nighttime and dawn hours can produce the biggest stripers, so don’t pack it in too early. As for what’s working, here’s your inside scoop: - For rockfish and lingcod: Large swimbaits, metal jigs, and shrimp flies tipped with squid have been cleaning up. Dropper loops rigged with fresh squid or sardine pieces are deadly on the bottom. - For stripers: Trolling deep-diving plugs or casting 4-6 inch soft plastics in shad or anchovy colors is hot. On the bait side, live anchovies and pile worms are top picks. - Halibut action has quieted a bit but isn’t done. Drifting live bait on inshore shoals — South Bay, Alcatraz, Crissy Field area — can still put you on a surprise slab, mainly on slack tides.

We had a cool start today, a light breeze off the Pacific, and skies mainly clear with fog remnants burning off by mid morning. Sunrise hit at 6:55 AM and sunset will roll in at 7:11 PM, giving us that sweet September daylight for chasing local game. The tides are classic early fall—this morning featured a moderate incoming tide, peaking around 8:34 AM, and dropping off after lunch, so plan your casts for that push if you’re targeting the main bay’s predators. Weather’s sitting in the low 60s at dawn, warming up to mid to upper 70s as the afternoon currents ease; wind’s west at 7–12 mph. Bay chop is reasonable in the morning, building a bit as the wind picks up, so get those boats out early for the best water. Let’s talk fish activity: party boats are putting up huge numbers. Yesterday, Berkeley’s California Dawn II saw 29 anglers haul 58 lingcod—some pushing 21 pounds—and an eye-popping 290 rockfish. Pacific Dream reported 10 lingcod, 82 rockfish, and 36 striped bass for just 14 folks. Emeryville’s TigerFish scored 30 lingcod and 150 rockfish with 15 aboard. That’s consistent action for September with lingcod on the chew and rockfish stacked in deep structure. Striped bass action’s staying steady. Most of the keepers were taken on swimbaits, live anchovies, and shad-pattern soft plastics tossed along rocky shorelines and pier pilings. Early mornings in South Bay near Oyster Point and the flats under the San Mateo Bridge produced solid catches. The bite falls off after mid-morning, so roll your topwater presentations before the sun’s high. Best lures this week? For lingcod and rockfish, anglers are sticking to chartreuse or root beer shrimp flies, paired with dropper loop rigs, and eight-ounce jigs tipped with squid or anchovy. Big fluttering spoons and metal jigs in 4–6oz sizes have turned the bigger cods as deep as 70 feet out at Alcatraz and the Marin Coast reefs. Striper chasers favor white or chartreuse paddletails, 3–5 inch, behind a 1/2oz jighead, and live anchovy is never turned down. The Jack silverside’s schooling up in the shallows; Fishbrain reports that raw shrimp, squid strips, and sandworms are all scoring the smaller bay game—just remember, scale down your rigs, two-inch swimbaits or small Sabiki rigs work wonders. If you’re after panfish, Mission Rock and the end of Pier 39 have seen good numbers. Crabbing’s still a no-go: Dungeness season is closed, and wildlife officers recently busted a gang of poachers at Thornton Beach for nabbing hundreds by hand. The crabs were too small and all released, but save your effort and stay legal—season opens later this fall. If you see suspicious crab activity, Fish & Wildlife’s CalTIP wants to hear from you.

The weather is starting off cool and calm, with patchy morning fog burning off to reveal clear skies as the day moves on. Expect highs reaching into the upper 60s and a light west wind in the afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 7:17 PM, giving us just over twelve hours of prime fishing light. Today’s tides set the pace for local fishing action. According to Tides4Fishing, we’re looking at a low tidal coefficient—starting around 39 early morning and rising to 46 by evening—so the water won’t move much. High tide is just before 8 AM, then a slow drop and a gentle afternoon flood. This means slow currents and softer bites, making finesse presentations a must. Striped bass have been the headline all week. Local boats like Lovely Martha report back-to-back limit days—yesterday’s half-day trip delivered limits for all nine anglers before shifting to catch-and-release. The bite’s been steady through the channel approaches and around South Harbor, with bass stacked up where the tidal push meets shallow flats. Halibut are still playing, with a handful appearing daily—boats out of Berkeley returned with a couple of keepers mixed in with thick numbers of sanddabs and a few rockfish. California Dawn and Sea Wolf running out of Emeryville brought back monster lingcod, loads of rockfish, and enough sanddab to keep the decks busy. Lure selection for today is all about matching the natural forage. For bass, chartreuse paddle-tail swimbaits are putting in work, but live anchovies or pile worms bounced along the bottom are unbeatable. In softer currents, drifting cut sardine for halibut is best—bring a few ghost shrimp if you’re fishing the surfline, since September marks the tail end for crabs and the start of the fall bait transition. Fishthesurf.com recommends swapping out crab imitations for shrimp or sardine right now. If you’re working structure near Alcatraz or Treasure Island, toss a Strike King Coffee Tube—rigged with a jighead—that crawfish profile turns up lingcod and even the occasional feisty sand bass. Rockfish are hungry for shrimp bits or squid on a hi-lo rig, especially when the current slows midday. Hot spots to target right now: - **Crissy Field Flats:** Early morning for striped bass and halibut, especially around peak high tide. - **Berkeley Pier:** Lingcod and rockfish are chewing just beyond the breakwater; listen for boats working pots or hitting the rocky ledges. - **South Harbor Channels:** Sandbass and schoolie stripers are moving up as the tide creeps in—focus on corners where the current eddies. Fish counts yesterday stayed strong: Emeryville’s Sea Wolf landed 48 lingcod and 240 rockfish on a single trip, and the California Dawn put up 40 lingcod and 200 rockfish for a crew of 20. Stripers continue to dominate catches, with local guides reporting release-after-limit action nearly every trip out.

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 07:32:31 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for Wednesday, September 17, 2025. The weather is starting off cool and calm, with patchy morning fog burning off to reveal clear skies as the day moves on. Expect highs reaching into the upper 60s and a light west wind in the afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 7:17 PM, giving us just over twelve hours of prime fishing light. Today’s tides set the pace for local fishing action. According to Tides4Fishing, we’re looking at a low tidal coefficient—starting around 39 early morning and rising to 46 by evening—so the water won’t move much. High tide is just before 8 AM, then a slow drop and a gentle afternoon flood. This means slow currents and softer bites, making finesse presentations a must. Striped bass have been the headline all week. Local boats like Lovely Martha report back-to-back limit days—yesterday’s half-day trip delivered limits for all nine anglers before shifting to catch-and-release. The bite’s been steady through the channel approaches and around South Harbor, with bass stacked up where the tidal push meets shallow flats. Halibut are still playing, with a handful appearing daily—boats out of Berkeley returned with a couple of keepers mixed in with thick numbers of sanddabs and a few rockfish. California Dawn and Sea Wolf running out of Emeryville brought back monster lingcod, loads of rockfish, and enough sanddab to keep the decks busy. Lure selection for today is all about matching the natural forage. For bass, chartreuse paddle-tail swimbaits are putting in work, but live anchovies or pile worms bounced along the bottom are unbeatable. In softer currents, drifting cut sardine for halibut is best—bring a few ghost shrimp if you’re fishing the surfline, since September marks the tail end for crabs and the start of the fall bait transition.

Fish counts yesterday stayed strong: Emeryville’s Sea Wolf landed 48 lingcod and 240 rockfish on a single trip, and the California Dawn put up 40 lingcod and 200 rockfish for a crew of 20.

We kicked off the morning with a low tide just before 7 am, and we’ll hit the next high around 1:40 pm. With sunrise at 6:49 am and sunset at 7:20 pm, there’s a full window of stable, mild late summer weather ahead—mostly clear skies, comfortable temps in the mid-70s, and a light westerly wind that should keep the bay smooth but push a bit of current through the bridges late in the afternoon. Classic Bay Area fall vibes that make for active fish and happy anglers. Let’s jump into what’s biting: The hot ticket this week is still striped bass. According to the recent fish counts from Berkeley, Emeryville, and SF party boats, boats have been reporting limits of striped bass nearly every day. On the 11th, the Lovely Martha 1/2-day brought in 15 limits of striped bass—30 fish—plus three solid halibut, with other local boats like the Pacific Pearl, Top Gun SF, and Sea Wolf putting up similar numbers all week. Halibut action is steady, with a handful coming in per trip—one here, a couple there—but most of those spending time just inside the Gate or along the Berkeley Flats have been drifting up quality flatties. Out the Gate, rockfish and lingcod are back on the chew. Party boats like the California Dawn II and New Huck Finn have been stacking up rockfish counts near 170-190 per trip and up to 38 lingcod apiece, with some lings pushing 20 pounds. For those in the know, late season white seabass are haunting deeper channel edges—a nice bonus, with the Pacific Pearl reporting not just one landed, but more than 30 released just this morning. Bait and lure selection is pretty straightforward right now: - For stripers and halibut, drifting live anchovies or shiners is king, with frozen herring and tray sardines doing work for the landlocked. Trolling with broken-back Rebels or chartreuse Rapalas early is producing fish near the Alameda rockwall and along the San Mateo shoreline. - Rockfish and lings are still hitting on squid strips, mackerel chunks, and the reliable double-squid rig on dropper loops. Try Thirty Fathom line or Point Diablo if you’re heading outside. - If you’re set on artificials, white or root beer swimbaits, 6-inch paddle tails, and metal jigs in sardine or mackerel patterns all get crushed, especially on a hard tide push. Hot spots for Sunday: - The **Berkeley Flats and Alcatraz Island** remain top choices for stripers and halibut, especially on the incoming tide. - For rock cod and lings, **Duxbury Reef** and the channel edges off Muir Beach are producing big numbers—just be ready for a ride if the wind picks up later. If you’re looking upstream, the fall run of stripers into the Delta has started—FishCaddy says ten to fifteen pounders are cruising up from the bay, so a quick trailered run could offer some epic action closer to Rio Vista or Sherman Island.

Today kicks off with **sunrise at 6:50 AM**, and wraps up with **sunset at 7:20 PM**. Expect partly cloudy skies, light winds coming out of the west, and an air temp floating high 60s in the morning that’ll creep into the low 70s by afternoon—ideal for working the shoreline, jetties, and piers. Now let’s talk **tides**, because they’ll shape your session today. First high tide hits at 5:34 AM around 4.3 feet, dropping to a 2.9-foot low at 9:53 AM. The push comes late afternoon, peaking at 4:19 PM with another big high of 6.2 feet. If you’re timing your casts for active fish, that late afternoon flood is your sweet spot, especially for stripers biting in the main channel and off rocky points. **Fish activity lately has been solid.** The folks at Lovely Martha report LIMITS of striped bass—30 for the boat—just two days ago, plus a couple of halibut showing up for good measure. There’s great action for bass and halibut close to Treasure Island and the Berkeley Flats. Youtube’s The Bay Area Plug posted two nice halibut and a handful of striped bass last week, using swimbaits and Rat-L-Traps right off local rocky shorelines. Persistence pays—if you stick with it, you’re likely to be rewarded. Recent catches from Fisherman’s Landing (though a bit south) show the bottom bite is still going strong: plenty of **rockfish**, sheepshead, and a few bass mixing in. Up here, keep your eyes peeled for a run of salmon tucked deeper into the Golden Gate, but it’s mostly a striped bass and halibut show on the Bay proper. What’s biting and **what gear to use**: - **Striped Bass:** Most local sharpies are throwing **soft plastic swimbaits in pearl or chartreuse**, Rat-L-Trap style lures, and live anchovies if you can gather ‘em. If you’re fly fishing, a 10’ 4wt rod from Lost Coast Outfitters matched to deceivers or clousers will get results. - **Halibut:** Slow-rolled swimbaits on a 1 oz jig head are still pulling up flatties. Drifting live bait—smelt, anchovy, or herring—over sand flats near Oyster Point has been productive. - **Rockfish:** If you’re looking for action in deeper water near Angel Island or Alcatraz, drop a hi-lo rig tipped with squid strips or shrimp. Quick limits for the deep dwellers. **A couple hot spots for your session**: - **Berkeley Flats:** Consistent for both halibut and stripers, especially on the moving tide. - **Treasure Island shoreline:** Reliable for halibut, a few bonus stripers, and great access for throwing artificials from land. Big tidal coefficients today mean there’ll be extra current, which gets the bait moving and the predators hunting. If the wind stays light as forecast, you should have no trouble working any structure or open water edge. Keep those swimbaits low and slow for halibut, and work the faster retrieve for stripers when the tide’s pushing.

Sunrise crested at 6:48 a.m., and sunset will close the day at 7:20 p.m. Tidal movements are prime for fishing—with a high tidal coefficient of 88 at dawn, tapering off through the day, so currents and water movement are stronger than usual. Expect big pushes and plenty of stirring baitfish activity; always check Tides4Fishing for any last-second weather shifts. The bite in the central bay has been classic September. On Thursday, the Lovely Martha out of San Francisco put 15 anglers onto a nice haul on their half-day AM: 3 solid California halibut and 30 striped bass—an impressive showing considering the short trip window, and right in line with what we expect seasonally according to NorCal Fish Reports. Meanwhile, salmon chasers up the coast from Sausalito are still hitting, with the Salty Lady bringing in 35 king salmon (some near 30 pounds!) for 20 anglers, proving that the ocean kings are still close and on the chew. Rockfish and lingcod action is strong just outside the Golden Gate, with boats out of Berkeley and Bodega Bay reporting limits for small parties—one highlight from the California Dawn II sported 46 lingcod, topping 25 pounds, and an impressive 230 rockfish for 23 anglers. Sanddab and sandab are filling the coolers as well, making this a prime window for mixed-bag bottom fishing. Locally, striped bass are pushing in tidal flats and along piers—Berkeley, Pier 7, and Fort Point are hot right now, especially with the stronger morning tide. The outgoing tide has moved some halibut into shallow margins, so drifting live anchovy or herring is still king on those sandy shelves, but jigging with 1–2 oz. hair jigs or paddle-tail swimbaits in white/chartreuse is deadly around piers at slack tide. Trollers are getting salmon and bass on green-and-white or copper Apex lures. If you're heading to the Marin side, try Paradise Park or the flats off Crissy Field at sunrise—schoolies are breaking bait, and last tide swing saw several 8–14 lb stripers landed on topwater pencil poppers at first light. The Richmond shoreline from the Ferry Point pier has also produced halibut for anglers casting live shiners and silver spoons. Baits that produced best this week: - Live anchovy, shiner, or herring (halibut, striped bass) - Chartreuse or pearl swimbaits, 4–6 inch (striped bass near structure) - Hair jigs or bucktails, 1–2 oz (surf and pier) - Troll deep-diving lures or rigged frozen anchovy (outside Gate for salmon) - Squid or cut anchovy dropper looped on reefs (lingcod and rockfish) Pro tip: Cycle through colors as the morning haze burns off—dark to light, especially when the water clouds up with the strong tidal surge.

Clear skies greeted anglers this morning, with sunrise at 6:47 am and sunset set for 7:25 pm. We're in a big tide swing today—high tides at 12:55 am and 1:25 pm, low tides at 6:47 am and 7:19 pm. With a tidal coefficient topping 106, these strong currents will be stirring up bait and increasing fish movement, especially near channel edges and jetties. These dynamic tides mean fish are on the prowl—perfect for targeting feeding windows through the day. Weather is holding steady and beautiful, with light winds making for calm conditions on the Bay. Water temperature trends are stable—nothing too extreme for late summer—so fish are comfortable and active across the flats, rocky points, and deeper pilings. The big news is SALMON. The recent four-day ocean salmon season (Sept 4–7) brought an absolute flotilla off Point Reyes to Point Sur, and especially outside the Golden Gate. The California Dawn boats, Happy Hooker, and Pacific Dream slammed home a combined 195 salmon up to 31 pounds, just shy of 98 full limits, with chaos and bruisers aplenty. Capt. Trent Slate reported early returns with limits ranging from 12–20 pounds. These short windows had anglers grinning ear to ear, and party-boat seats were gone in a flash. While the salmon season is closed again, that rush of fish has leftovers cruising inside the Bay—so keep the gear ready when the next window opens. According to Nor Cal Fish Reports and Fish Emeryville’s dock totals yesterday, the bite is still solid for bass, rockfish, and catfish, with limits hit on several local party boats. Rockfish are holding thick on ledges and deep reefs off Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the Marin coastline. Fisherman's Landing reported the Dolphin AM trip brought in 44 rockfish, 14 sheephead, calico bass, cabazon, sandbass, and sculpin—solid variety, and mirrored by local party boats. A mix of big sheepshead and cabezon means dropping baits along rocky structure is paying off. For tactics and tackle, locals are cleaning up with **swim baits** and **paddle tails** over eelgrass beds, or **shrimp flies** and **dropper-loop rigs** baited with squid and cut anchovy at deeper spots. If you’re after bass and striper, bust out **hairraisers**, **poppers**, or **chartreuse minnow plugs** around shadow lines at dawn and dusk—sunrise and sunset bites are especially lively with today’s strong tides. For bait, **live anchovies** and **pile worms** are prime—rig them weightless on inshore flats for picky stripers or drift them deeper for big rockfish. Night anglers will get extra action using underwater fishing lights to pull bait balls closer, amplifying the bite on bay bridges and rocky outcroppings. Hot spots to check today: - **Berkeley Flats and South Hampton Shoal**: prime for bass, halibut, and lingering salmon.

The sun’s coming up at 6:45 this morning, giving us a prime window with cool, calm air and light marine fog—typical for a Bay September. Expect a high tide rolling in around 12:42 PM at about 5.74 feet and a minus low just before dawn at 6:00 AM, then again at 6:07 PM with about 1.5 feet. Big tidal swings today mean feeding windows should fire up around those changes; work the shallows near first light, then follow fish deeper as the current pushes in. Let’s get to the action: King salmon are hot right now just outside and along the Marin coast, with party boats from Berkeley reporting limits or near-limits. Yesterday, the California Dawn II saw 24 anglers bring in 38 kings, and New Easy Rider’s tally was 38 salmon for 19 folks. Most fish ran 18–25 pounds, with a few hitting the 28-pound mark, quality for late season. Trolling is tops—Anglers are scoring with anchovy and herring rigs behind flashers, and chartreuse or white hoochies are out-fishing plain spoons. For bait, tray anchovies with a teaser head in the morning bite, then try chrome or watermelon spoons as the sun gets up. Inside the Bay, striped bass activity is steady, especially around the Alameda rockwall and the south end of Treasure Island. The minus tide this morning will pull bait out of the estuaries—follow the birds and you’ll find surface boils where stripers are blitzing anchovy schools. Toss white or pearl swimbaits, bucktail jigs tipped with a twister tail, or try trolling a deep-diving Yo-Zuri or Lucky Craft minnow in shad or anchovy pattern. Cut anchovies or pile worms on a hi-lo rig will do the job around the piers and jetties when the current slows. Halibut catches have slowed a bit as we get later in the season, but patient drifters working live anchovies near Angel Island and Berkeley Flats are still putting a few solid fish in the box, especially on the incoming tide. If rockfish or a lingcod is on your ticket, head just outside the Gate to Seal Rocks or south to Pacifica reefs. There’s been quality action; just make sure you mind the swells and stay within safe weather windows. Hot spots today: - The Marin coastline, from Stinson south to Muir, is money for salmon on the troll. - Inside the Bay, the flats off Alcatraz and the Sausalito shoreline produce schoolie stripers and the odd halibut, especially working the edges of deeper channels at tide changes. To sum it up: Fish the tide windows, come rigged for salmon outside and stripers or halibut inside. Trolling tray anchovies, white hoochies, or swimbaits gets it done. And if you’re out for rockfish, jigs and squid strips are classic. Thanks for tuning in to the report—I’m Artificial Lure. Subscribe and stay on top of the bite, and best of luck on the water today.

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 07:34:32 -0000 full Inception Point AI Good morning, anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for Sunday, September 7th, 2025. The sun’s coming up at 6:45 this morning, giving us a prime window with cool, calm air and light marine fog—typical for a Bay September. Expect a high tide rolling in around 12:42 PM at about 5.74 feet and a minus low just before dawn at 6:00 AM, then again at 6:07 PM with about 1.5 feet. Big tidal swings today mean feeding windows should fire up around those changes; work the shallows near first light, then follow fish deeper as the current pushes in. Let’s get to the action: King salmon are hot right now just outside and along the Marin coast, with party boats from Berkeley reporting limits or near-limits. Yesterday, the California Dawn II saw 24 anglers bring in 38 kings, and New Easy Rider’s tally was 38 salmon for 19 folks. Most fish ran 18–25 pounds, with a few hitting the 28-pound mark, quality for late season. Trolling is tops—Anglers are scoring with anchovy and herring rigs behind flashers, and chartreuse or white hoochies are out-fishing plain spoons. For bait, tray anchovies with a teaser head in the morning bite, then try chrome or watermelon spoons as the sun gets up. Inside the Bay, striped bass activity is steady, especially around the Alameda rockwall and the south end of Treasure Island. The minus tide this morning will pull bait out of the estuaries—follow the birds and you’ll find surface boils where stripers are blitzing anchovy schools. Toss white or pearl swimbaits, bucktail jigs tipped with a twister tail, or try trolling a deep-diving Yo-Zuri or Lucky Craft minnow in shad or anchovy pattern. Cut anchovies or pile worms on a hi-lo rig will do the job around the piers and jetties when the current slows. Halibut catches have slowed a bit as we get later in the season, but patient drifters working live anchovies near Angel Island and Berkeley Flats are still putting a few solid fish in the box, especially on the incoming tide. If rockfish or a lingcod is on your ticket, head just outside the Gate to Seal Rocks or south to Pacifica reefs. There’s been quality action; just make sure you mind the swells and stay within safe weather windows. Hot spots today: - The Marin coastline, from Stinson south to Muir, is money for salmon on the troll. - Inside the Bay, the flats off Alcatraz and the Sausalito shoreline produce schoolie stripers and the odd halibut, especially working the edges of deeper channels at tide changes. To sum it up: Fish the tide windows, come rigged for salmon outside and stripers or halibut inside. Trolling tray anchovies, white hoochies, or swimbaits gets it done. And if you’re out for rockfish, jigs and squid strips are classic. Thanks for tuning in to the report—I’m Artificial Lure. Subscribe and stay on top of the bite, and best of luck on the water today.

We’re kicking things off with a classic late summer weather—typical Bay Area cool to mild conditions, light winds, and marine layer lingering near the coast. According to Tides4Fishing, sunrise hit at 6:43 AM and sunset’s set for 7:31 PM, which gives us nearly 13 hours on the water. We’ve got healthy tidal swings today, with a high tide peaking around 11:32 AM, a low just before dawn at 4:30 AM, and another low tide this afternoon at 4:24 PM. Tidal coefficients climb throughout the day, with strong currents expected—perfect for chasing salmon and stripers in the offshore rips and in the main channels. Let’s talk fish action. It’s been a wild week for salmon—Nor Cal Fish Reports and Fish Emeryville are buzzing after boats filled their limits again yesterday and today. Over in Sausalito, Dock Totals say 46 chinook salmon landed by just 23 anglers, with top fish pushing 24 pounds. Boats out of Emeryville report 18 salmon limits yesterday, big fish topping 31 pounds, and anglers grinning ear-to-ear. The salmon bite window is peaking, and if you’re after king salmon, now’s the time—expect steady action through Sunday, but get out early to beat the crowds and chase that active morning bite. Striped bass and halibut continue to show around the bayfront piers and deeper flats. Recent posts on Pier Fishing in California suggest target areas like the Oyster Point Pier and the Marin shoreline have produced solid bass and a few chunky halibut. Pier rats are reporting rays and occasional shark encounters on squid and cut mackerel. Best baits and lures? For salmon, the killer combo remains the classic tray anchovy or herring trolled behind a chartreuse dodger, or try a Silver Horde spoon in green or cop car if the bite gets picky. If you’re jigging or mooching, bring sharp hooks and use 20-30 pound leader. For striped bass, throw white or chartreuse swimbaits, bucktail jigs, or slow troll live anchovies if you can pick them up at the local bait receiver. Halibut are taking live anchovies, soft plastics, and herring fished close to the bottom during outgoing tide. Folks targeting jacksmelt are getting results on small Sabiki rigs baited with shrimp, while perch and surf species are best targeted with pile worms or Gulp camo sandworms. Current hot spots include the west side of Angel Island for salmon running the channel edges, and the flats off Berkeley Pier for multi-species action—especially as the tide swings and bait pushes in. In the South Bay, check the power lines and flats near Oyster Point as bass, halibut, and the occasional leopard shark have been chewing during the stronger incoming tide windows. A reminder to keep your tackle light for perch and smelts, and step up for salmon and rays—lots of runs are busting anglers using ultralight setups.

Sunrise hit at 6:43 AM and we’ll see light till 7:31 PM, setting the stage for a day with generous tidal movement—low tides at 4:30 AM and 4:24 PM, and high swings at 11:32 AM and 10:26 PM. Tidal coefficients are running high, topping out at 90 tonight, so expect robust currents and plenty of fish moving to feed according to Tides4Fishing. Locals and charter regulars were stacked up along the Marin and San Francisco coast, hunting Chinook (King) salmon—and boy, did those rods stay bent. The bite continues to be historic. Out of Emeryville and Sausalito, every report screams “early limits”—Happy Hooker, Lovely Martha, Hog Heaven, and the New Rayann all posted full boat limits before midday, with fish running 28 to 33 pounds. On Thursday, the New Rayann clocked 52 Chinook salmon for 26 anglers by late morning, and the Lovely Martha landed their 29 limits (58 salmon) by 9:30 AM. According to Nor Cal Fish Reports and Lovely Martha’s own log, it’s been “fantastic, epic, early limits every day.” Old-timers and first-timers alike left grinning and sore-armed. Striped bass and halibut are making steady showings inside the Bay. The last half-day run saw the Lovely Martha deck 56 stripers, with a few big halibut mixed in—a sign that the Berkeley Flats and Oyster Point remain hot scenes if you want to dodge the outer fleet’s salmon circus. If you’ve got the gear, try the flats south of Treasure Island in the morning, and check the shadow lines near the old piers for cruising stripers as the tide starts pushing in. For baits and lures, salmon are chomping on anchovy tray baits run behind chartreuse or UV-dodgers, but trollers dragging hoochies and classic Krocodile spoons are connecting as well. Pro tip from the deckhands: stay on the troll at 40–65 feet, and adjust with the tidal surge—mid-morning and dusk remains prime. For bass and halibut, live anchovies are king if you can get them at the bait receivers. Otherwise, drifting hair jigs or dragging swimbaits in pearl or root beer have both produced steady fish. Weather’s been mild and comfortable with morning fog burning off by midday, but a light southwest breeze is expected this afternoon, especially near the Gate. Nothing to scare you off, but maybe pack that windbreaker for the afternoon run home. If you’re looking for hot spots to hit this weekend, you can’t miss with the shipping channel edges off Sausalito for salmon, or check the “North Bar” just outside the Golden Gate—both have been center stage for limit-style action. Inside the Bay, the Flats south of Angel Island and the deep holes by Oyster Point are a good bet for bass and the odd halibut. Big thanks for tuning in to the local report!

Sunrise this morning was at 6:41, and you can expect sunset at 7:36 tonight. Skies stayed mostly clear with a cool onshore breeze typical for this time of year, and high temps peaked around 68. If you’re headed out later, layer up—late afternoons on the Bay have that classic chill. Tidal action today’s been on the mellow side: low tide hit at 2:12 p.m., with a moderate high expected about 7:50 p.m., according to Tides4Fishing. The tidal coefficient sits low, so don’t expect any roaring current, but that can play to your advantage if you’re targeting structure and edges—less drift means better lure control. Fish activity is picking up again as September settles in. Striper action isn’t as wild as peak summer but remains steady, with folks reporting solid schoolie catches along the piers and near the mouth of the estuaries. Halibut are still biting, especially in the deeper channels near Crissy Field and along the Berkeley Flats. Some savvy anglers also found late-summer leopard sharks lurking mud flats in South Bay. It’s not all theory—Fish Emeryville put up some nice counts yesterday, with party boats still scoring keepers on halibut, plus a mix of stripers and the occasional bat ray for folks soaking bait. Nor Cal Fish Reports has seen some chunky jacksmelt, perch, and occasional rockfish hauled in by those working the high/low rigs with pile worms or cut anchovy around the piers. For lures and baits, the standouts remain the basics: soft-plastic swimbaits in white or anchovy color for halibut, Kastmasters, and hair-raiser jigs for stripers. If you’re after something bigger, drifting live anchovy or shiner perch has been deadly. Offshore winds limit your scent trail, so don't skip the Procure gel or a small chunk of fresh bait on your artificial. Sand crabs, pile worms, and nightcrawlers are all getting it done for surfperch and mixed-bag action around the pier pilings. If you’re chasing crab, red rock crab are plentiful near Pier 7 and along the rocks at Fort Point—remember, Dungeness are off-limits in the Bay, so double-check before keeping anything in your hoop net, just like the folks on TikTok’s recent local report reminded us. A couple of hot spots to try: - Crissy Field flats, especially two hours before the evening high tide, for halibut and stripers - Paradise Park Pier and the south side of the Berkeley Pier rubble for perch, jacksmelt, and schoolie bass Finally, a quick note from CBS News Bay Area—a reminder to limit your consumption of Bay-caught fish due to ongoing “forever chemical” advisories. If you’re out for fun and catch-and-release, you’re in the clear. That’s a wrap for today’s San Francisco Bay report. Thanks for tuning in!

Let’s start with the tides—today kicked off with a high tide peaking at 6:14 am and you can expect another high tide around 4:44 pm. The only low tide falls at 10:10 am. We’re on a low tidal coefficient day, so current is soft and the swing between high and low isn’t dramatic. That’s good news for bass anglers—striped bass get active around these smaller moves and tend to hold steady on structure near decent current breaks. Sunrise lit the water at 6:38 am and we’ll keep light until about 7:40 pm, plenty of time for a full day’s bite. Weather’s fair—expect mild late-summer temps, mostly clear skies, and a light morning breeze. That means surface action stays solid till wind picks up late afternoon, especially on the flats. The past few days have seen fantastic striped bass reports. On August 29th, Lovely Martha ran a half-day out of the City and hit their limits—20 stripers in the box and lots more released, along with three solid halibut to round out the trip. Bass mostly ranged between 22–30 inches, and the crew took most fish on live anchovies drifted near Alcatraz and the South Bay piers. Jerkbaits and paddletail swimbaits in white or chartreuse are still producing well from shore, especially along Crissy Field and the Berkeley Flats. Vince Goes Fishing recently put out a vid on surf casting stripers with jerkbaits—definitely worth a watch for technique. Halibut action has slowed just a notch from peak summer, but it’s far from dead. Keeper flatties are still coming from the channel edges off Treasure Island and along the Oakland Airport flats. Top producers remain soft plastics bounced slowly near bottom, plus the live bait crowd drifting herring or anchovies with a touch of glow on the rig. The rockfish and whitefish crowd found easy limits up north—yesterday’s big boats from Bodega and the Marin Coast turned up over 5,000 rockfish and nearly 2,300 whitefish, confirming the late August deep-reef bite is heating up. If you’re itching for variety, drift deeper for black or vermilion rockfish using squid strips or medium-size swim jigs. Crabbing remains closed in much of the Bay, but late spring pop-up trap tests around San Francisco proved highly successful for Dungeness—if regs loosen up this fall with rope-less gear, expect some fresh local crab on the table. Best baits right now: - **Striped Bass:** Live anchovies, drifting or slow-trolled. Jerkbaits in bone, chrome, or chartreuse from shore. Paddle tails on ½-ounce jig heads. - **Halibut:** Live herring or anchovy, soft plastics (white, motor oil, or sardine colors). - **Rockfish:** Squid strips or curly tail grubs fished deep. - **Surf/shore:** Silver spoons, bucktail jigs, and small swimbaits for a mixed bag. Hot spots to check today: - **Berkeley Flats:** Still reliable for both stripers and halibut in early light. - **Alcatraz Rock/Channel:** Strong for stripers on both tides, especia This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Early risers grabbed their first cast right after a mild sunrise at 6:38 am, with sunset coming at 7:40 pm—plenty of daylight to chase that bite. According to Tide-Forecast.com, we had a 6:16 am high tide peaking around 3.7 feet, then a lowering tide heading toward 10:18 am, back to another good push on the 4:50 pm high, topping 5.3 feet. The tidal coefficient is sitting low today, so expect gentle current and a little more of a finesse game. Weather’s classic late-August: cool foggy mornings giving way to mid-60s by afternoon, maybe touching 70 in sheltered spots. Wear the layers—you could be chilly out by the Gate and sweating at Candlestick. Striped bass are the headline in the bayside action. Lovely Martha Fish Reports just capped off another half-day trip with limits for all—18 anglers landed their 36 bass on the 24th, and word is the run hasn’t slowed much this week. Drifting live anchovy, sardine, or shiner perch has been tops, but if you’re tossing lures, try a 3/4 oz. hair jig or a white paddle-tail swimbait, slow rolled over current seams or around Alcatraz and the Berkeley Flats. Halibut have stayed solid in the East Bay, with scattered reports of keepers up to 15 pounds taken on drifting live bait from the Alameda Rockwall out toward Paradise Cay. Slow-trolling a green or chartreuse fluke works too, especially around softer tides like we’re seeing now. Focus on 8-20 feet, especially around turn of the tide. Rockfish trips out the Gate have been productive when the weather allows, according to Nor Cal Fish Reports and Fisherman's Landing. Rock piles off Marin and the Farallon Islands kicked out limits of assorted rockfish plus the odd lingcod—shrimp flies tipped with squid are tough to beat, and a 4-6 oz metal jig can wake up the bigger lings. Big news offshore—Albacore made an appearance just west of San Francisco, best after this week’s August 28 report from local tuna chasers and echoed in fishing media. Trollers are hooking albacore, but also intercepting jumbo yellowtail and bluefin. If you’ve got the boat and conditions, head 30–50 miles out, run small cedar plugs or feather jigs, and be ready on the troll rod. Best hot spots today: - **Alcatraz and Angel Island:** For bass, try the deeper rips on the outgoing tide and watch for fish showing on your finder. - **Berkeley Flats/Pier 39 area:** Great for halibut and bass, especially with live bait on light tackle. Bait-wise, nothing beats live anchovy, but frozen shad and squid are catching their share for bank anglers at Fort Point, Crissy Field, or along Emeryville shoreline. Final tip—soft tides mean slow presentations, lighter weights, and focusing on structure. Early and late in the day should see the most activity, especially in the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before dusk. Thanks for tuning in to today’s San Francisco Bay fishing report.

Drifting live anchovy, sardine, or shiner perch has been tops, but if you’re tossing lures, try a 3/4 oz. hair jig or a white paddle-tail swimbait, slow rolled over current seams or around Alcatraz and the Berkeley Flats. Halibut have stayed solid in the East Bay, with scattered reports of keepers up to 15 pounds taken on drifting live bait from the Alameda Rockwall out toward Paradise Cay. Slow-trolling a green or chartreuse fluke works too, especially around softer tides like we’re seeing now. Focus on 8-20 feet, especially around turn of the tide. Rockfish trips out the Gate have been productive when the weather allows, according to Nor Cal Fish Reports and Fisherman's Landing. Rock piles off Marin and the Farallon Islands kicked out limits of assorted rockfish plus the odd lingcod—shrimp flies tipped with squid are tough to beat, and a 4-6 oz metal jig can wake up the bigger lings. Big news offshore—Albacore made an appearance just west of San Francisco, best after this week’s August 28 report from local tuna chasers and echoed in fishing media. Trollers are hooking albacore, but also intercepting jumbo yellowtail and bluefin. If you’ve got the boat and conditions, head 30–50 miles out, run small cedar plugs or feather jigs, and be ready on the troll rod. Best hot spots today: - **Alcatraz and Angel Island:** For bass, try the deeper rips on the outgoing tide and watch for fish showing on your finder. - **Berkeley Flats/Pier 39 area:** Great for halibut and bass, especially with live bait on light tackle. Bait-wise, nothing beats live anchovy, but frozen shad and squid are catching their share for bank anglers at Fort Point, Crissy Field, or along Emeryville shoreline. Final tip—soft tides mean slow presentations, lighter weights, and focusing on structure. Early and late in the day should see the most activity, especially in the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before dusk. Thanks for tuning in to today’s San Francisco Bay fishing report.

Kicked off right at sunrise, 6:34 AM, with sunset set for 7:44 PM. We've got patchy morning fog burning off to a clear, mild afternoon; expect highs in the upper 60s, light N/NW breezes, and stable pressure—prime conditions for late August Bay fishing. This morning’s tide started with a *low at 5:47 AM*, incoming towards *high just before noon*. That midday push means solid water movement—fish get active as bait stirs in the flats and near structure. Let’s talk catches: the Bay’s seen a steady run of California halibut, with pier anglers landing keeper-size fish up to 40 inches just yesterday. Local Instagram angler yookenai reported hooking up fast on squid strips off the pier; it’s been a hot bite on top of live anchovies and sardines, available at Oakland and South SF bait shops. California halibut action continues strong from Berkeley Flats to Crissy Field. Striped bass numbers have ticked up, especially around Oyster Point and the mouth at the Golden Gate. Best results came on drifting live anchovies, shiner perch, and—if you’re casting—chartreuse paddletail swimbaits or classic Willow Leaf spinnerbaits, KenZaroo Pro Tackle’s version stands out for its vibration and flash. Rockfish and lingcod are holding at deep structure. Fisherman's Landing counts show solid limits lately: boats reported over 1300 rockfish and 870 calico bass in Bay Area waters for midweek. If you’re bottom fishing off the Marin Headlands or Alcatraz, stick with shrimp flies tipped with squid or cut herring. Don’t ignore metal jigs bounced on the drop-offs—rockfish can’t resist. Salmon talk is everywhere lately, even as ocean salmon closes; locals are still catching wild Chinook salmon at bay entrances. The bite’s best at first light when the tide swings in. Chrome spoons or rigged anchovy in a rolling harness do the trick. Up north, river flow bumps pushed fresh kings into coastal estuaries—Bay anglers might get a bonus hookup near deep channel rips. Hot spots to hit this weekend: - **Berkeley Flats**: Drifting for halibut and striped bass, best with live bait on the moving tide. - **Crissy Field and Fort Point Pier**: Pier anglers finding fast action for halibut early, with stripers mixed in on rattle traps and swimbaits. - **Alcatraz Rock Piles**: Deep drop for varied rockfish and lingcod on shrimp flies and jigs. Lure tips: Bright paddletails work for bass, but bring Willow Leaf spinnerbaits for dirty water. For halibut, nothing beats a fresh anchovy on a 3-way rig, but frozen squid is a close second. Rockfish and lings—go big with metal jigs or double shrimp fly rigs, blue and chartreuse patterns shine in morning fog. If you’re booking a trip, Amethyst Fishing Charters out of Berkeley has open boats; they supply solid tackle, and know the current patterns. August in the Bay is magic—conditions are stable, fish are moving, and the big tides mean bigger catches.

Sunrise arrived at 6:36 am and sunset wrapped the day at 7:44 pm, giving us over 13 hours of sun—ideal for those dawn and dusk bites. Today's tidal swing came with a high coefficient of 72, peaking in the afternoon at 2:55 pm, with brisk currents moving fish and bait inshore, especially on the incoming tide. The first low tide hit at 8:16 am, and the evening low is due just after 9:10 pm. Fish movement was strong near all structure and channel edges, so the bite windows were generous. Weather held mild—morning fog clearing to sun, with temps topping out in the high 60s, a soft westerly breeze and light chop, making for comfortable casts from Berkeley Pier, Crissy Field, and the jetties. The Bay’s water clarity ranged from green to a touch murky as the afternoon wore on, but that didn’t slow the bite for bottom species. Local catches today and throughout the week have come in strong. Amethyst Fishing Charters reports ongoing mixed loads of California halibut, striped bass, and rockfish, with party boats motoring out under the Golden Gate and dropping lines along Alcatraz and Angel Island. Instagram action features a 40-inch California halibut hauled up right off a San Francisco pier in under 30 minutes—proof the monsters are prowling close to shore if you time your tides right. Fish Counts from norcalfishreports.com and 976-TUNA show steady numbers of rockfish (over 1200 caught yesterday across the Bay), plus a healthy showing of calico bass and surf perch. Emeryville and Berkeley launches continue to churn up good catches with recent trips yielding limits of rockfish, bonus sheephead, and several bass each run. Don’t overlook Redtail surfperch in the surf from Pacifica down to Half Moon Bay, especially in the AM slot when baitfish push shallow. The best baits today have been live anchovies and sardines for halibut and bass, while squid strips and shrimp are picking up rockfish around reefs and structure. If you’re tossing artificials, chartreuse and white swimbaits—like the classic Big Hammer—are the ticket for halibut. Jerkbaits in bone or shad pattern have been hot for striped bass in fast-moving water, and shallow divers fished slow around marina pilings and drop-offs are getting bit. For surf zones, Gulp sandworms and classic motor oil grubs are fooling perch and small bass. Hot spots for the evening tide: - Berkeley Flats: Halibut and stripers on live bait and swimbaits, especially at dusk on an incoming tide. - Crissy Field: Good showings of surf perch and an increasing number of schoolie stripers close after sunset. - Treasure Island and Alcatraz edges: Drop a line for mixed rockfish and the odd lingcod; fish tide changes. With the strong tidal exchange, today’s currents have pushed bait inshore—so focus your casts near shadow lines, eddy pockets, and wherever you see birds working the surfa This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re rolling into the heart of summer, and the Bay is delivering the kind of action that gets local anglers buzzing. Sunrise hit at 5:48 AM, with that golden sunset coming in late at 8:34 PM—prime conditions for stretching those sessions on both sides of the tide. Today’s weather will treat you right, with highs around 66°F, a touch of morning fog giving way to sunny skies, and a mild southwest wind in the 10–15 mph range. Tides are moderate and made for fishing: we’ve got a solid mid-morning incoming pushing bait onto the flats and along the jetty edges right through the lunch hour. That’ll really turn on the bite, especially for halibut and striped bass. Now, onto the fish activity—let's talk numbers. According to the daily tallies from Fish Emeryville and NorCal Fish Reports, the action is off the charts. Yesterday, the party boats racked up impressive counts—286 striped bass and 60 halibut spread over 10 boats. California Dawn II from Berkeley reported 30 halibut up to 22 pounds and 30 striped bass up to 14 pounds for a full load. Amethyst brought in 16 halibut to 20 pounds and 2 stripers, and California Dawn had 8 halibut (up to 20 pounds) with 24 stripers up to 15 pounds. Sausalito boats like Outer Limits went big too—20 anglers landed 10 halibut and 40 striped bass. Best bets today are clearly stripers and halibut. Boats are seeing easy limits and solid fish condition—the Lovely Martha crew said it best: “easy limits of big bass again,” with 28 hefty stripers and 16 halibut yesterday. For baits and lures, the tried-and-true are killing it. Drifting live anchovies or frozen herring is the ticket for halibut, while stripers are smacking swimbaits, hair jigs, and live anchovy. If you're casting from shore or the piers, anchovy chunks and pile worms are classic, while white paddle tails or chartreuse soft plastics fished on a jighead are drawing ferocious takes. For artificial fans, don’t forget the silver Kastmasters or SP Minnows if you’re working the tides. Hot spots right now: Emeryville and Berkeley flats for fast action on both target species, and the waters around Alcatraz and Angel Island are loaded with stripers chasing bait. Crissy Field and the oyster beds continue to produce, especially on the flood tide. Regulation notes—no perch except for shinerperch from April through July, and keep an eye on slot limits for bass and halibut. Rock crab is fair game, but Dungeness is off-limits inside the bridge this time of year. That’s your rundown for today. The tides, weather, and bite are aligning for another banner day on the Bay—so grab those rods and get out there! Thanks for tuning in to your San Francisco Bay fishing report with Artificial Lure.

We’re rolling into summer with primo fishing conditions across the Bay. Weather today is classic late June—expect cool, breezy mornings, burning off to sunny, comfortable afternoons, perfect for a day on the water. Sunrise was at 5:48 AM and sunset clocks in late at 8:35 PM, so you’ve got all the daylight you’ll need to chase those big bites. Tides are showing a solid swing: early low at 2:19 AM (1.61 ft), a strong high at 8:38 AM (5.87 ft), another low at 1:30 PM (3.84 ft), and a big evening high at 7:55 PM pushing up to 8.56 ft, providing great moving water for predatory fish activity according to tide-forecast.com. The bite’s been on fire this week. According to Nor Cal Fish Reports and Sportfishing Report, party boats out of Berkeley and San Francisco have been stacking up limits of quality California halibut and striped bass, with multiple trips posting 20-40 halibut and 30-40 striped bass per day. California Dawn II, for example, logged 38 halibut and 38 stripers in one full-day trip yesterday, and the Happy Hooker had similar tallies. Most halibut are running up to the 25-pound mark, and the bass are plenty chunky, up to 18 pounds. The New Rayann out of Sausalito posted 20 halibut and 20 stripers for 10 anglers—solid action all around. Fishing’s best around the tide changes, especially the morning flooding and that big evening high. If you want numbers and quality, head to the flats around Angel Island, the Berkeley Flats, and Southampton Shoal—these spots have been hot for both bass and halibut. The south side of Alcatraz is turning up some nice fish, and the deep-water edges near Treasure Island have produced solid catches. Drift live anchovies or shiners on a three-way rig for halibut—tops for big fish. Trolling green or chartreuse hoochies with a herring strip will get bit, too. For stripers, toss white or chartreuse swimbaits, or troll Rattletraps and Yo-Zuris along the rockwall edges and under the bridges. If you want to keep it classic, fresh sardine chunks on a sliding sinker rig are putting up fish, especially on the outgoing tide. Boat limits of both species have come on these techniques all week. The action is best early and late, so plan to fish the first few hours after sunrise or catch that late bite before sunset. Water temps are up, bait is thick, and fish are hungry across much of the bay. For shore anglers, hit the piers at Fort Point and Oyster Point on the high tide for a good shot at stripers. If you’re launching out of Berkeley or Emeryville, you’re five minutes from the action. Thanks for tuning in to your local report. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss the bite.

Let’s get right into it—summer is rolling and the bay is fired up with action! Today’s sunrise was at 5:48 AM and you’ll get to fish all the way ‘til sunset at 8:34 PM, offering a generous window for both the morning and evening bites. Weather-wise, it’s classic June along the coast: highs around 66°F, with the usual morning fog clearing into bluebird sunshine by midday. Winds are mellow out of the southwest at about 10 to 15 mph—nothing that’ll keep you on the dock. The tides are playing along too, with a mid-morning incoming that peaks a little after noon, setting the table nicely for an active bite through late morning and into the afternoon. And let me tell you, the fish are here and hungry. According to NorCal Fish Reports and party boat scores from Sportfishing Report, boats working the central bay out of Berkeley and Emeryville are just stacking the deck—recent catches have been loaded with California halibut and striped bass. Just yesterday, the California Dawn II checked in with limits: 40 halibut (some pushing 29 pounds!), a leopard shark, a dozen rockfish, and 46 striped bass for 23 anglers. Other boats like the New Easy Rider, Amethyst, and New Huck Finn are all reporting similar hauls—double-digit halibut and stripers even for small parties, with quality bass consistently up to 10 pounds. Locals from the Lovely Martha report are echoing the same: “easy limits of big bass again,” with 28 quality striped bass and 16 halibut coming over the rails for just 10 anglers. That’s about as hot as the bite gets in June. For tackle, you can’t go wrong right now with white or chartreuse swimbaits, soft plastics on a leadhead, or live anchovies if you can get ‘em (the halibut in particular are all over ‘chovies and small smelt). Trolling herring or drifting live bait along the flats—from Treasure Island out to the Berkeley Pier—has been money for both species. Don’t forget the classic hair jigs or shallow-running crankbaits for stripers, especially around the rock piles and channel edges. A couple of today’s hot spots: Alcatraz Island’s west side is loaded with feeding stripes, and the flats off Berkeley and Emeryville are stacked with halibut and bass. If the mid-bay gets crowded, push out towards Paradise Cay or work the thoroughfares in Raccoon Strait—those outgoing tide swings can light up in a hurry. Just a reminder: Per current regs, no perch may be kept in the bay right now except shinerperch, so be sure to know your catch. And always check the latest advisories about eating your catch, as “forever chemicals” have been discovered in various bay fish. That wraps it for today’s report!

Just a reminder: Per current regs, no perch may be kept in the bay right now except shinerperch, so be sure to know your catch. And always check the latest advisories about eating your catch, as “forever chemicals” have been discovered in various bay fish. That wraps it for today’s report!

Let’s get right into it—summer is rolling and the bay is fired up with action! Today’s sunrise was at 5:48 AM and you’ll get to fish all the way ‘til sunset at 8:34 PM, offering a generous window for both the morning and evening bites. Weather-wise, it’s classic June along the coast: highs around 66°F, with the usual morning fog clearing into bluebird sunshine by midday. Winds are mellow out of the southwest at about 10 to 15 mph—nothing that’ll keep you on the dock. The tides are playing along too, with a mid-morning incoming that peaks a little after noon, setting the table nicely for an active bite through late morning and into the afternoon. And let me tell you, the fish are here and hungry. According to NorCal Fish Reports and party boat scores from Sportfishing Report, boats working the central bay out of Berkeley and Emeryville are just stacking the deck—recent catches have been loaded with California halibut and striped bass. Just yesterday, the California Dawn II checked in with limits: 40 halibut (some pushing 29 pounds!), a leopard shark, a dozen rockfish, and 46 striped bass for 23 anglers. Other boats like the New Easy Rider, Amethyst, and New Huck Finn are all reporting similar hauls—double-digit halibut and stripers even for small parties, with quality bass consistently up to 10 pounds. Locals from the Lovely Martha report are echoing the same: “easy limits of big bass again,” with 28 quality striped bass and 16 halibut coming over the rails for just 10 anglers. That’s about as hot as the bite gets in June. For tackle, you can’t go wrong right now with white or chartreuse swimbaits, soft plastics on a leadhead, or live anchovies if you can get ‘em (the halibut in particular are all over ‘chovies and small smelt). Trolling herring or drifting live bait along the flats—from Treasure Island out to the Berkeley Pier—has been money for both species. Don’t forget the classic hair jigs or shallow-running crankbaits for stripers, especially around the rock piles and channel edges.

The bay is wide awake and putting on a summer show for anglers—let’s get into what’s biting, where, and what’s hot today on the water. Sunrise hit at 5:48 AM and sunset won’t slip below the horizon until 8:34 PM, so you’ve got long daylight for early and late action. Weather’s mild—expect highs in the mid-60s, classic morning fog burning off into sunny skies, and southwest winds cruising at 10–15 mph. Tides are in our favor: there’s a good mid-morning incoming push that will last until around 12:30 PM, perfect for targeting fish on shallow flats and near the jetties. Halibut and striped bass are dominating the bite, with reports from Berkeley and Emeryville party boats lighting up the boards. The California Dawn II turned in a haul of 40 California halibut (with some fish pushing the 29-pound mark!) and 46 striped bass for their crowd yesterday. Other local favorites like New Huck Finn, Amethyst, and Right Hook also reported full coolers, with consistent limits on both species across half- and full-day trips out of all the major East Bay landings. Berkeley Flats and the stretch from Alcatraz out toward Angel Island have been on fire for stripers—think schoolie action with a few larger models mixed in. Halibut are coming from South Bay flats near Oyster Point and along the edges around Paradise Cay. Best baits right now: live anchovies are money, especially if you can score some chubby ones from local bait receivers. Drifting them on a three-way with 2–4 ounce weights has been deadly. For those throwing artificials, try chartreuse or white swimbaits, or a paddle tail on a jighead. Trolling small herring-patterned plugs is also putting both bass and halibut in the net. Hot spots today: - **Berkeley Flats**—Striped bass are stacked and halibut are holding on the edges. - **Paradise Cay and Raccoon Strait**—Solid for both halibut and bass, with some leopard sharks thrown in the mix if you want to soak a bait. - **Oyster Point**—Halibut action remains strong on the incoming tide. Keep in mind, sturgeon is strictly catch-and-release, and if you’re looking for rockfish, aim just outside the Golden Gate for the best results. Bay perch season for most species is closed until August, except for shiner perch—know the regs and stay legal. That wraps up today’s report.

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 07:52:32 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here, bringing you the latest San Francisco Bay fishing report for this sunny June 20th, 2025. The bay is wide awake and putting on a summer show for anglers—let’s get into what’s biting, where, and what’s hot today on the water. Sunrise hit at 5:48 AM and sunset won’t slip below the horizon until 8:34 PM, so you’ve got long daylight for early and late action. Weather’s mild—expect highs in the mid-60s, classic morning fog burning off into sunny skies, and southwest winds cruising at 10–15 mph. Tides are in our favor: there’s a good mid-morning incoming push that will last until around 12:30 PM, perfect for targeting fish on shallow flats and near the jetties. Halibut and striped bass are dominating the bite, with reports from Berkeley and Emeryville party boats lighting up the boards. The California Dawn II turned in a haul of 40 California halibut (with some fish pushing the 29-pound mark!) and 46 striped bass for their crowd yesterday. Other local favorites like New Huck Finn, Amethyst, and Right Hook also reported full coolers, with consistent limits on both species across half- and full-day trips out of all the major East Bay landings. Berkeley Flats and the stretch from Alcatraz out toward Angel Island have been on fire for stripers—think schoolie action with a few larger models mixed in. Halibut are coming from South Bay flats near Oyster Point and along the edges around Paradise Cay.

The bay is alive and kicking with classic summer action—halibut and striped bass are stealing the show on party boats and from the shore. Today’s sunrise was at 5:48 AM, and sunset will drop at 8:34 PM, which gives you a long window to fish both the early morning and late evening bite. Weather’s treating us kindly: expect highs near 66°F, mild southwest winds around 10–15 mph, and skies switching between morning fog and afternoon sunshine. Tides are moderate: mid-morning incoming until about 12:30 PM, which should really turn fish on, especially for those working the flats or jetty edges. The bite has been strong across the central and East Bay. According to NorCal Fish Reports and Sportfishing Report, yesterday’s party boats from Berkeley and Emeryville limits were impressive—California Dawn II checked in with 10 halibut (up to 12 pounds), 3 rockfish, and 44 striped bass for 22 anglers. New Easy Rider and Amethyst boats also showed consistent counts of halibut and bass, with individual scores like 15 halibut and 24 striped bass for just 12 anglers. Emeryville’s C Gull II had 35 striped bass and 4 halibut on a half-day—so stripers are definitely schooled up from Alcatraz out to the Berkeley flats. If you’re going out today, live anchovies are hands-down the top bait for both stripers and halibut. If you can’t get live bait, frozen anchovies or herring are second-best. For lures, try 4–6 inch white or chartreuse swimbaits, or a halibut rig with a flasher and hoochie in deeper water. Trollers are having luck dragging broken-back Rapalas or Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows off Treasure Island and around Angel Island. On the shore, pier anglers at Fort Point and Fort Baker are picking up schoolie stripers on cut anchovy and pile worms. Rock crab action remains fair, but keep in mind that Dungeness is strictly off-limits inside the bay—rock crab only. For hot spots: - Berkeley Flats and the Emeryville Channel are red-hot for halibut and stripers, especially on the incoming tide. - The waters around Alcatraz and Southampton Shoal continue to kick out multi-species bags. - For a quieter experience, try the Sausalito shoreline early for halibut or herring just off the rocks—sabiki rigs will get you a few, especially during the big schools’ late spring push. Finally, a quick reminder: you can’t keep perch in the Bay right now (except for shiner perch, which have a 20-fish limit) and sturgeon is catch and release only.

Artificial Lure here with your Friday fishing report. It's looking like another stellar day on the Bay with temps hitting the mid-90s, so don't be a dummy - slap on that sunscreen before heading out! ## Today's Conditions The water's warming up nicely and turning bluer by the day, though there's still some chilly stuff lurking below the thermocline. The bass bite is absolutely on fire right now, with multiple boats reporting limits. Stripers are the hot ticket with the Lovely Martha reporting an impressive 44 striped bass for 22 anglers earlier this week. ## What's Biting Halibut fishing has been exceptional! California halibut are available throughout the Bay, with the Lovely Martha reporting early limits yesterday - 14 fish for 7 anglers by 10 AM. These "chicken" halibut typically weigh between 10-50 pounds and are peaking during their spawning season. Other species in the mix include jack crevalle, cabrilla, and even some wahoo for those venturing further out. For those targeting perch, remember that most surfperch are closed in the Bay until August 1st - the only exception is shiner perch with a separate 20-fish limit. ## Hot Spots The South Bay has been producing solid numbers of striped bass, while halibut have been showing up more consistently along the Berkeley Flats. For you party boat anglers, boats out of Emeryville have been scoring decent numbers with the C Gull II recently landing 8 stripers and a halibut on a half-day trip. ## Bait & Tackle For stripers, fresh cut anchovy and grass shrimp have been the ticket. If you're chasing halibut, try slow-trolling live anchovies or drifting with a bounce-ball rig. Artificial lures working well include white swim baits and chartreuse jerkbaits during incoming tides. ## Special Alert Big news for salmon anglers! The recreational season opens TOMORROW (June 7th) for a limited two-day window with a 7,000 Chinook harvest quota. If you've been itching to target kings, this weekend is your chance - and potentially your only chance if the quota fills quickly. ## Weekend Forecast Both charter boats are booked solid through the weekend, so if you haven't made reservations already, you might want to launch your own vessel or hit one of the piers. The weather looks stable with continuing warm temperatures - perfect for a day on the water. Thanks for tuning in to your Bay Area fishing report.

First things first, sunrise was at 5:49 AM and sunset will come at 8:27 PM, giving you a long stretch of daylight to chase your next trophy. Weather’s holding steady: expect morning fog burning off by mid-morning, leading into mild temps in the low 60s with light westerly breezes—prime Bay weather for both the shore angler and boat crowd. Tidal movement today is ideal for targeting feeders: we’re seeing an early morning incoming tide shifting to slack before noon, then a solid outgoing tide this afternoon. These windows are perfect for drifting live bait or working artificials along current seams and drop-offs. Fish activity has been red hot this week. Party and charter boats continue to report excellent numbers. According to NorCal Fish Reports, on June 3rd, boats out of San Francisco Bay brought in 6 California halibut and 2 striped bass for just three anglers. Over in Emeryville, the C Gull II checked in with 1 halibut and 8 solid striped bass on a half-day morning trip. Lovely Martha reports the bass bite is still on fire, with multiple consecutive days of full limits—up to 48 striped bass per outing—and a handful of chunky halibut hitting the deck for good measure. Best lures right now: - For halibut, nothing beats a white or chartreuse swimbait paired with a 3–4 oz leadhead jig, worked slow and steady near the bottom. Trolling trays of herring is also scoring, especially along the deeper channel edges from Alcatraz down toward Oyster Point. - Stripers are inhaling topwater plugs at first light around the piers and flats. Once the sun is up, switch to soft plastic jerkbaits in shad or anchovy colors, or try a chrome spoon on deeper drifts. On the bait side, live anchovies or shiners are the ticket for both bass and halibut if you can get them from the bait docks. Dead bait rigs tipped with fresh sardine strips are also turning heads among the bigger flatties. Hot spots this week: - The rock wall east of Treasure Island for a halibut-striper combo bite on the moving tide. - Crissy Field flats and the Sausalito shoreline for early morning topwater bass action. - Oyster Point and the deeper channels off the Berkeley flats for persistent halibut. A quick regulation reminder: the recreational fishery for shiner perch is open year-round, but surfperch (other than shiner) is closed in the Bay through July 31st. Salmon remains closed until this weekend’s special opening, so plan ahead if you’re looking to target Chinook. That’s your bite-by-bite update from Artificial Lure!

Today’s sunrise was at 5:49 AM and sunset’s coming in at 8:27 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get lines wet. We’re sitting under mostly clear skies with light early morning winds and mild temps—perfect conditions for working the shoreline or heading out on the water. According to Nor Cal Fish Reports, the wind has been a bit of a nuisance for some, but today’s shaping up much calmer, so expect more boats and action out there. Tidal swings are moderate for early June. We’re getting a low tide mid-morning and a strong incoming push until early afternoon—prime time to target active fish, especially in shallow flats and near current breaks. As for what’s biting: the striped bass bite is absolutely on fire right now. Half-day party boats and privateers alike are reporting wide-open action across the central and south bay. The best reports are coming from areas around the Alameda Rockwall and the Berkeley Flats, with Fish Emeryville’s logs showing solid scores on recent trips. Anglers are finding limits of keeper stripers, averaging 5-8 pounds, with some bigger models pushing double digits landed from both boat and shore. Halibut numbers are picking up but still a bit spotty. South Bay near Oyster Point and further west at Crissy Field are producing most consistently. Live bait—anchovies and sardines—is king for both species right now, but those drifting frozen herring or jigging with white flukes and swimbaits are also putting fish in the box. If you’re working artificials, try chartreuse or rootbeer paddle tails—bass will crush these during a strong incoming tide. Note that while the surfperch fishery is closed inside San Francisco and San Pablo Bays through July, shiner perch are still fair game with a 20-fish limit. These little guys are biting well around the piers, especially at Fort Mason and Fort Point. Use small hooks baited with bits of shrimp, pileworm, or squid. Reports from North Bay and Bodega Bay confirm the offshore rockfish and lingcod bite remains solid if you can get outside the gate, but inside the bay, it’s all about stripers and halibut right now. Sharks and bat rays are still showing for those soaking big baits near the old piers. For hot spots, focus on the Berkeley Flats early, then move toward the Alameda area as the tide pushes in. Crissy Field and Oyster Point are prime for halibut on the drift. Don’t overlook the piers for an easy shiner perch limit and maybe a surprise striper. Thanks for tuning in to today’s report.

Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for this beautiful Saturday morning, May 31st, 2025. ## Today's Conditions The bite has been straight fire around the Bay this week! We're looking at excellent conditions today with the halibut and striped bass action absolutely crushing it right now. The tides are backing down, which should make for an even better halibut bite throughout the day. ## Recent Catches The party boats have been loading up! Just yesterday, the California Dawn out of Berkeley brought in 11 California halibut with some monsters up to 28 pounds, plus 10 striped bass to 9 pounds. Their sister boat, California Dawn II, wasn't far behind with 14 halibut and 9 stripers. The Goldeneye 2000 had a stellar day with 19 halibut, 14 striped bass, and even managed a white seabass - that's a trophy catch for sure! If you're looking for rockfish and lingcod, the New Rayann out of Sausalito has been slaying them, with a recent trip bringing in 20 lingcod up to 13 pounds and 120 rockfish. ## Hot Spots For those targeting halibut and stripers, Berkeley Flats has been producing consistently. The shallow areas in 10-12 feet of water have been particularly hot where bass have been pinning baitfish against sandbars. Another hot zone is just outside Jones Inlet, where anglers are scoring quality fluke in the back channels. ## Bait & Tackle Live bait season is officially on, folks! The Flash Fishing boats have been having great success since switching over. If you're targeting halibut, fresh live bait is your best bet right now. For stripers, it's all about matching the local forage - we've got sand eels in the area, so matching that profile will get you bit. Natural-colored 5-inch Mag Darters with a slow retrieve during the day have been working well. After sunset, switch to larger profile plugs for those quality fish. If you're bait fishing, the combo of spearing and squid has been deadly effective in the bays. ## What to Watch For Just a heads-up to my conservation-minded anglers - recent studies have found concerning levels of those "forever chemicals" in several Bay species including striped bass and white sturgeon. If you're fishing for the table, you might want to limit consumption of your catch, especially from the South Bay. Also, remember that surfperch fishing (except for shiner perch) remains closed until August 1st. But mark your calendars for June 7-8 when ocean salmon season opens briefly for what should be an epic couple of days! Thanks for tuning in to this week's report! If you want to get in on this action, several charter captains have weekday openings next week. Don't forget to subscribe for more timely reports from your local fishing guru.

We're looking at a moderate incoming tide that'll peak around mid-morning, followed by an outgoing tide throughout the afternoon. Perfect conditions for what's shaping up to be another epic day on the water! Let me tell you folks, the fishing action around SF Bay has been absolutely on fire lately! The halibut and striped bass bite is crushing it right now. This past week, the California Dawn II out of Berkeley reported 4 California halibut up to 12 pounds and 12 striped bass up to 10 pounds with just 13 anglers on board. The Reel Addiction 2 also had a solid outing with 3 halibut and 4 stripers. The stripers have been particularly active this month - many had moved inland to the Delta earlier, but they're making a strong showing in the bay now. For you artificial fans (like myself!), swimbaits in anchovy patterns are working wonders. If you prefer live bait, anchovies and grass shrimp are your best bet. For the halibut hunters, drift fishing with live anchovies near Paradise Cay or Angel Island has been the ticket. Berkeley Flats is also producing consistently, especially during the incoming tide. A few hot spots to check out today: - The Alameda Rockwall: Striper action has been steady here - Treasure Island: The south side has been giving up nice halibut - Raccoon Strait: Always a good bet this time of year for both species For those heading out to the central coast, boats out of Monterey like the Caroline reported limits of rockfish and some quality lingcod. Word of caution though - a recent study from the San Francisco Estuary Institute found forever chemicals in several bay species including striped bass, leopard shark, and white sturgeon. If you're catching for the table, be aware of consumption advisories. Remember that perch fishing in the bay is closed until August 1st, except for shinerperch which have a 20-fish limit. Also, for you sturgeon anglers, it's catch and release only. With this beautiful weather we're having, it's prime time to get out on the water. The bite is hot, the fish are plentiful, and the bay is calling! Thanks for tuning in to your Bay Area fishing report. If you liked what you heard, make sure to subscribe for daily updates on the hottest bite around the bay. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for this fine Wednesday, May 28th. The fishing action around SF Bay has been absolutely on fire lately! The halibut and striped bass bite is crushing right now. We're seeing great numbers of both species being landed throughout the bay[1]. Tidal conditions today show a moderate incoming tide through mid-morning, which should create perfect conditions for working the flats and channels. With calm waters and mild winds predicted, you couldn't ask for better conditions to get out there. Sunrise was around 5:50 AM with sunset expected at 8:30 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get your lines wet. The weather's cooperating too - temperatures in the mid-60s with minimal fog this morning that should burn off quickly. Recent catches have been impressive! Halibut are being caught in good numbers, with several boats reporting multiple fish days[1][4]. Striped bass action remains strong, especially along the Berkeley Flats and Angel Island. The Lovely Martha charter reported excellent results earlier this week with multiple limits of both halibut and stripers[1]. For those looking beyond the bay, white seabass are showing up in impressive numbers further south. Charter boats out of Oxnard and Santa Barbara reported excellent catches yesterday, with some boats landing over 20 fish[3]. Your best bet for halibut is drifting live anchovies or working a white or motor oil-colored swimbait along the bottom. For stripers, try topwater early, then switch to swimbaits or live bait as the sun gets higher. Hot spots today include the south side of Angel Island, Paradise Cay, and the flats west of Treasure Island. The Berkeley Flats have also been producing well on the incoming tide. One important note for you regulation-minded folks - surfperch fishing remains closed inside SF and San Pablo bays until August 1st (except for shiner perch, which have a 20-fish limit)[5]. And mark your calendars - ocean salmon season will open briefly on June 7-8 with a limited quota[5]. For sturgeon hunters, the action has slowed but fish are still being caught in San Pablo Bay using ghost shrimp or eel. Don't forget that San Pablo Reservoir is currently closed to private vessels until further notice[2], so plan accordingly if that was on your radar. That's all for today, folks! This is Artificial Lure telling you to get out there and bend some rods. The fish are biting, and they ain't gonna catch themselves! Tight lines everyone!

We’re kicking off the week with cool, stable late-May weather. Skies are partly cloudy and air temps are ranging from the upper 50s early to the mid-60s by afternoon. Winds are moderate, so expect some chop but nothing that should keep you off the water. Sunrise hit at 5:52 AM and sunset is coming at 8:22 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to work those tides. On the tidal front, we’ve got a mixed semi-diurnal tide today—morning outgoing and a solid afternoon incoming, so plan to work those transitions hard, especially near structure and mouths of creeks or channels. The fishing has been absolutely on fire. The halibut and striped bass bite is as hot as we’ve seen all season. Party and charter reports have boats returning with impressive scores. Out of San Francisco and Berkeley yesterday, the Lovely Martha checked in with 8 halibut and 2 striped bass from a half-day trip, while the Berkeley-based Gatherer II put 10 halibut and 4 stripers on the deck. Emeryville boats like the Pacific Pearl produced 16 halibut and 6 striped bass on short runs. The action for stripers is fast and furious, with plenty of keepers and some real quality fish showing all over the central and south bay channels[1][3][4]. For best results, drift live anchovies or shiners near the bottom for halibut. Artificial swimbaits, white or chartreuse, are also solid choices—especially when the water gets stained. Stripers are hammering trolled deep-diving plugs and live bait, but plenty are being caught on topwater poppers and paddle-tail plastics along the rocks, especially early and late. Bait-wise, pile worms and cut anchovy are hard to beat for both species. Other species: A few leopard sharks are showing in the mix, mostly as bycatch, and if you want something different, rockfish are steady off the coast with boats out of Half Moon Bay hauling up limits. For hot spots, try the Berkeley Flats and the Alameda Rockwall for halibut—the fish are stacking up in these areas on the incoming tide. The San Mateo Bridge pilings and nearby flats are also holding both bass and halibut. Early risers working Crissy Field to Fort Point have been rewarded with schoolie stripers on the topwater. That wraps it up for today. Get out early, drift those edges, and keep the drag light. Tight lines from Artificial Lure.

This is Artificial Lure dropping your Sunday morning fishing report for May 25th, 2025. The sun's just peeking over the horizon at 5:53 AM today, and we'll have daylight until about 8:26 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water. Weather-wise, we're looking at typical late-May conditions - mild temperatures with those afternoon westerlies picking up, so plan your trips accordingly. In fact, those winds have been strong enough to cancel some charter trips recently, with Captain Steve Talmadge at Flash Fishing reporting Saturday cancellations due to wind last weekend. The fishing action around SF Bay has been straight fire lately! The halibut and striped bass bite is absolutely crushing right now. The Lovely Martha reported on May 23rd that they had their best fishing day yet with a great mix of halibut and stripers. Party boats like the Gatherer II have been posting impressive counts as well. If you're heading out today, you'll want to hit the water during the morning incoming tide. The bite has been most consistent in the early hours before those afternoon winds kick up. Water clarity is good with no recent major storms, which has the baitfish active all throughout the bay system. For you striper hunters, the Napa River has been producing consistently with clean water conditions. Bank anglers are scoring with frozen anchovies, pile worms, ghost shrimp, and live minnows - particularly the larger ones along the east bank from Kennedy Park down to Cuttings Wharf. If you're rigging up, Carolina setups with 3-4 oz sliding sinkers are working great in the current, while hi-low rigs with soft bait are the ticket near structure. Boat anglers trolling for stripers should grab those "Wild Thing" deep divers or rattle traps, running at 3.5-4.2 MPH. Focus on the 8-12 foot depths near river bends where the schools are holding. Hot spots for today: Berkeley Flats has been consistent for halibut, while Paradise Park to China Camp is firing for stripers. Don't sleep on the south bay either - several 28-inch halibut came in from just off Candlestick Point yesterday. Flash Fishing reports they'll be back on the water today, and they've had "plenty of action to keep everyone happy" on their recent trips. If you're looking to charter, Captain Steve mentioned he has a little room available - give him a call at 510-851-2500 to get in on the action. Tight lines and bent rods to all you bay anglers!

Let’s start with today’s conditions. Expect partly cloudy skies with mild morning temps rising toward the low 60s by the afternoon. There is a light breeze out of the west but nothing like the gusty days last weekend that kept some boats docked. The tide will be incoming through most of the morning, peaking around midday and turning around early afternoon. Sunrise hit at 5:51 AM and sunset will be at 8:21 PM, giving you a generous window to chase the bite. The Bay has been producing some excellent action all week, with recent party boat counts looking strong. Yesterday out of San Francisco, the Lovely Martha pulled in 8 California halibut and 2 striped bass for just 4 anglers on a half-day trip. Over in Emeryville, the Pacific Pearl tallied 16 halibut and 6 striped bass with 16 anglers. Berkeley boats have been posting similar numbers, with halibut remaining steady and stripers showing up in nice batches. Offshore, Half Moon Bay boats continue to limit out on rockfish, but the main game for most Bay anglers right now is halibut and bass[2]. If you’re targeting halibut, drifting live anchovies or shiner perch has been the ticket. Trolling or drifting with herring, sardines, or a swimbait with a flashy tail will get you bit too, especially near the edges of deeper channels and drop-offs. For striped bass, try casting 4- to 6-inch white or chartreuse swimbaits, hair jigs, or the classic red and white bucktail lure. Topwater plugs and poppers can work around dawn if you find birds and active fish at the surface. Hot spots this past week include the flats off Berkeley and Paradise Cay, where both halibut and stripers have been stacked up on the incoming tide. The deeper holes around Alcatraz and the south side of Angel Island are also kicking out solid numbers, especially during the tide swing. If you’re looking for a change of pace, the rock piles off Treasure Island have been holding mixed bass and the occasional bonus lingcod. Word on the dock is the action should keep up as long as the tides move and the winds stay light. Bring plenty of bait and don’t be afraid to switch up your presentation if things slow down. Best of luck out there, and remember to send in your fish photos for bragging rights. That’s the bite for today. Tight lines and see you on the water[2][4][1].

We’ve got some classic late spring Bay weather today—cool in the morning with a steady, stiff wind that’s been hanging around most of May. Expect highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, with lows dipping into the low 50s. Patchy fog should burn off by mid-morning, but the wind is sticking around, making things a little choppy out there. Sunrise was at 5:53am and sunset is slated for 8:20pm, giving you a generous window to fish. Tides are working in our favor for the morning bite, with a medium incoming tide peaking late morning before swinging back out in the afternoon. That should push some fresh water and bait into the shallows and get the predators moving. Fish activity has been solid, especially for California halibut and striped bass. The latest party boat counts from yesterday are promising: the Gatherer II out of Berkeley saw 10 halibut and 4 stripers for 5 anglers, while the Pacific Pearl out of Emeryville reported 16 halibut and 6 stripers for 16 anglers. The Lovely Martha from San Francisco itself brought in 8 halibut and 2 stripers for 4 anglers on a half-day local run. Out at Half Moon Bay the rockfish bite is strong, with limits for all anglers aboard the Riptide[3]. The halibut action remains decent, about a fish per person is the norm, and some boats are doing even better when the wind lays down. Striped bass are turning up both as a bonus and a target, especially near the flats and channels around Red Rock and the Berkeley Flats[2][5]. Lingcod and rockfish are solid up the coast towards Bodega, but winds have made offshore trips tough lately[2]. For best results, drift live anchovies or herring on a halibut rig, or try bouncing swimbaits and artificial lures like chartreuse or white paddletails along the bottom. For stripers, white hair jigs, topwater poppers early, and cut anchovy baits are producing. If you’re after rockfish or lingcod and the weather lets you out, shrimp flies or small metal jigs tipped with squid are the way to go. Hot spots this week include the Berkeley Flats for halibut and stripers and the area around Red Rock for a mixed bag. If you can slip out to the Marin Islands or the Emeryville Channel during that incoming tide, you’ve got a good shot at landing a few nice fish.

The weather is gorgeous, with mild spring temps, light wind, and plenty of sunshine making for perfect angling conditions. Sunrise hit around 5:55 AM and sunset will be close to 8:20 PM, giving you a long window to get your lines wet and take advantage of the good tides[1]. The tides today are favorable, with enough movement to keep the bite active in the bay and around the bridges. Recent fishing activity has been strong, especially for halibut. Reports from charter captains show limits of quality halibut being caught north of China Camp and south of Red Rock. Trolling small dodgers with anchovies has been the most consistent producer. Anchovy remains the top natural bait, while artificials like white swimbaits and chartreuse hoochies are working well during tide changes and when the water gets murky[5]. Along with halibut, striped bass action is picking up, especially near Oyster Point and the Berkeley Flats. Look for birds working bait balls for a clue to active fish. Casting shad-patterned soft plastics or trolling deep-diving plugs can pick them up. Early mornings and late afternoons have been best for bass. If you are after a mixed bag, rockfish are going well outside the Golden Gate and up the Marin coastline. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reminds all anglers to check for open seasons and regulations before targeting salmon, as the 2025 ocean salmon season details are being set this month[4]. For hotspots, China Camp and Red Rock are excellent for halibut right now, and the Berkeley Flats and Oyster Point are reliable for bass. Keep an eye on the weather and tides, and make sure to bring plenty of anchovy and a good selection of white and chartreuse artificials. To sum up, the bite is hot, the weather is beautiful, and today is one of those days where you do not want to leave your gear at home. Good luck out there, and tight lines from Artificial Lure[1][4][5]. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Along with halibut, striped bass action is picking up, especially near Oyster Point and the Berkeley Flats. Look for birds working bait balls for a clue to active fish. Casting shad-patterned soft plastics or trolling deep-diving plugs can pick them up. Early mornings and late afternoons have been best for bass. If you are after a mixed bag, rockfish are going well outside the Golden Gate and up the Marin coastline. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reminds all anglers to check for open seasons and regulations before targeting salmon, as the 2025 ocean salmon season details are being set this month[4]. For hotspots, China Camp and Red Rock are excellent for halibut right now, and the Berkeley Flats and Oyster Point are reliable for bass. Keep an eye on the weather and tides, and make sure to bring plenty of anchovy and a good selection of white and chartreuse artificials. To sum up, the bite is hot, the weather is beautiful, and today is one of those days where you do not want to leave your gear at home. Good luck out there, and tight lines from Artificial Lure[1][4][5].

We’re coming off a lively weekend with strong tides moving through the Bay. Early morning saw a mild northwest wind, with air temps in the low 60s before warming up by midday. Skies started off overcast but cleared nicely. Sunrise hit at 5:56 am and sunset will be at 8:17 pm, leaving plenty of daylight for anglers to work the tides. Fish activity around the Bay this past weekend was buzzing, especially with the striped bass and California halibut bite. Party boat reports from Berkeley and Emeryville were impressive. The California Dawn II out of Berkeley tallied up 40 striped bass (some reaching an impressive 36 pounds) plus 11 halibut up to 15 pounds for its 20 anglers. The California Dawn had 15 halibut and 3 good-sized stripers for 16 anglers, while the Pacific Dream landed 15 stripers and 12 halibut for a dozen anglers. Over in Emeryville, the New Huck Finn saw 30 striped bass and a halibut for 22 anglers. Even the half-day trips produced, with the Bass Tub in San Francisco notching 24 striped bass for 12 anglers. The C Gull II hauled in 37 stripers and 4 halibut with 19 folks on board[1][2][3]. Most of the action has been concentrated on the flats and channel edges from the Berkeley Flats out toward the Alcatraz and Treasure Island areas. Paradise Park shoreline is also producing, especially for early risers. Hot spots are the deeper drop-offs near Angel Island and the Richmond Breakwater. For lures and bait, you really can’t go wrong right now with live anchovies or shiners, particularly for halibut. Drifting with herring, sardine chunks, or using a trap rig tipped with squid is also effective on the flats. Striped bass are smashing at white or chartreuse swimbaits, hair jigs, and live anchovies. Trolling broken-back Rapalas or drifting with cut anchovy has put plenty of keepers in the box lately. If you’re looking to fill a limit or just enjoy some steady action, the top picks today are the Berkeley Flats for a shot at a mixed bag of stripers and halibut, or work the waters south of Treasure Island where big stripers are lurking. The wind this afternoon may kick up a bit, so plan your trips accordingly. That’s today’s report from Artificial Lure: get on the water early, keep your baits moving, and tight lines!

The action's been heating up around San Francisco Bay this past week! Captain Steve Talmadge on the Flash 2 has been absolutely crushing it with striped bass. His recent trips have been limiting out, with bass hitting consistently on both half-day and full-day trips. Smiles all around on those boats, folks! Looking at today's conditions, we're seeing favorable tides with an incoming flow through mid-morning, perfect for working the edges where those stripers love to feed. The weather's cooperated nicely with light winds under 10 knots expected until afternoon, so the bay should stay relatively calm for your morning cast. For those targeting halibut, they've been showing up too, though in fewer numbers than the stripers. Flash 2 reported landing some nice flatties mixed in with their bass hauls earlier this week. Bait-wise, live anchovies are producing well, but don't overlook swimbaits in the 5-7 inch range if you're an artificial fan like yours truly. White and chartreuse patterns have been getting the most attention from hungry bass. Important regulation reminder: the recreational fishery for surfperch inside SF and San Pablo bays remains closed until July 31st, reopening on August 1st. However, shiner perch are exempt from this closure with a separate bag limit of 20 fish, so you can still target those little fighters. For you salmon enthusiasts waiting patiently, mark your calendars for June 7-8 when the recreational season briefly opens with that 7,000 Chinook harvest quota. If they don't hit the quota, additional dates might open up. Hot spots this week? Berkeley Flats has been consistently productive for stripers, especially on the incoming tide. The south end of Angel Island is another prime location where anglers are finding action, particularly during the first couple hours after sunrise, which happens around 5:50 AM today. You've got until about 8:20 PM before sunset to get your lines wet. The Salty Lady reported excellent fishing in the bay on May 15th, so those patterns should hold through the weekend. Want to get in on this action? Flash 2 is booked solid today, but Captain Steve mentioned he's got room during the week. Give him a ring at 510-851-2500 to lock in your spot. That's the word from the water today, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off – tight lines and bent rods to all of you out there!

Artificial Lure here with your weekend fishing report for the San Francisco Bay area. The halibut and striped bass action is heating up around the Bay! Recent reports show excellent results, especially from the Berkeley fleet. The California Dawn II brought in 13 California halibut and 36 striped bass yesterday, with some stripers reaching up to 20 pounds. The Pacific Dream also had a solid day with 13 halibut and 10 striped bass in the Bay. Several other charter boats are reporting similar success, which means it's prime time to get out there. For those looking to fish from shore or smaller craft, word is the halibut fishing near the Lighthouse and the west side is improving for anglers putting in the work. In February, successful halibut trolling was reported in 15-20 feet of water, and that pattern seems to be holding as we move into late spring. Weather-wise, we're looking at decent conditions today, but expect the winds to pick up tomorrow. If you're heading out, get an early start to beat the afternoon chop. The early bird gets the fish, as they say! For those targeting halibut, slow-trolling anchovies or sardines has been the ticket. If you're more of an artificial lure person (like yours truly), try white or chartreuse swimbaits dragged just above the bottom. For striped bass, the usual suspects are working: swimbaits, topwater lures in the early morning, and live bait for those who don't mind getting their hands dirty. Hot spots this weekend: Berkeley Flats has been on fire lately for both halibut and stripers. The deeper channels near Angel Island are also producing quality fish, especially on the incoming tide. Don't overlook the waters near Treasure Island - several locals have been quietly pulling in nice halibut there without much company. If you're not looking to venture far, the shoreline near Crissy Field has been giving up some decent stripers for those casting swimbaits during the incoming tide. Remember, the regulations are in flux this year, with new salmon rules expected to take effect by July 1, so keep an eye on the latest updates. Tight lines and screaming drags to all of you! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next week. Remember, the worst day fishing still beats the best day working!

The sun rose at 5:56 AM and will set tonight at 8:14 PM giving you a long window to chase some fish before the weekend fleet arrives. Today looks promising with cool temps in the low 60s typical patchy morning fog but clearing by the afternoon and light winds forecasted for most of the day. Tides are favorable for early action. Expect a morning outgoing tide until around 11 AM followed by a mellow incoming push. Halibut and striped bass usually bite best during these transitions so plan to fish around those swings if possible. Recent catches tell the story—striped bass and California halibut continue to steal the show throughout the central and north bay. Party boat counts this week out of Berkeley show consistent results. Just yesterday the California Dawn II reported 13 halibut and 36 stripers (some pushing 20 pounds) for a full boat of 22 anglers. The Pacific Dream hooked into 13 halibut and 10 stripers while smaller charters like Reel Addiction found 3 halibut and as many as 11 stripers for just a handful of anglers. The action has definitely turned on for both quality and quantity right in the bay[1][3]. Live bait remains king—anchovies are the hot ticket for both halibut and stripers. Drifting whole anchovies on a three-way rig is the go-to tactic. If you are fishing artificials, white or chartreuse swimbaits and soft plastics like 6-inch paddle tails are bringing steady hookups especially for stripers. Trolling broken-back plugs or drifting cut sardines has also picked up a few bonus fish. For those who prefer casting, topwater action is sporadic but can be electric at first light especially near shoreline flats. If you are on the hunt for the hot spots, start by checking the Berkeley Flats and the area around Alcatraz—they’ve both been firing for halibut and quality bass. Paradise Cay in the north bay is another solid bet as is the usually productive South Bay zone from Oyster Point to Coyote. Lingcod and rockfish reports are stronger further offshore toward the Gate and into the Marin coastline but the main bay remains all about those halibut and stripers right now. Overall, the spring bite is in full effect. Get out early for the best conditions, keep an eye on that tide chart, and don’t forget your net. See you on the water—tight lines!

Artificial Lure here with your mid-May fishing report for the San Francisco Bay area as of this Wednesday morning. The bite is definitely heating up around the bay with halibut and striped bass action really picking up. Recent party boat reports from Berkeley show some solid numbers, with California Dawn II bringing in 13 halibut and 36 striped bass, including some lunkers up to 20 pounds! The Pacific Dream also had a nice haul with 13 halibut and 10 stripers on a recent full-day trip in the bay. The weather today is looking pretty decent - we've got mild temps with a light westerly breeze, perfect conditions to get out on the water. Sunrise was around 6:00 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 8:15 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to wet a line. Tide-wise, we're seeing a moderate exchange today with an incoming tide through mid-morning, then an outgoing in the afternoon. That transition period between tides has been particularly productive for halibut fishing. For you halibut hunters, drift fishing with live anchovies or shiner perch has been the ticket. The Berkeley Flats and Angel Island areas are producing well. If you're tossing artificials, white or chartreuse swimbaits in the 6-8 inch range have been getting bit. Don't forget to slow your presentation down - that spring halibut bite is more about precision than speed. Striped bass are hitting swimbaits, spoons, and soft plastics in the 5-7 inch range. Chartreuse and white patterns have been hot, especially around structure and current lines. Live bait anglers are scoring with anchovies and bullheads. Hot spots right now include the south side of Angel Island, the Berkeley Flats, and Paradise Cove. If I had to pick just one spot for tomorrow, I'd hit the Berkeley Flats on the incoming tide with live bait for halibut, then switch to trolling for stripers as the tide changes. One important note - remember that salmon season is extremely limited this year. The Pacific Fishery Management Council has approved some recreational salmon opportunities for the first time since 2022, but they're very restricted, so check regulations carefully before targeting salmon. For those looking to book a charter, several boats from Berkeley and Emeryville are reporting consistent action, so you might want to get on their calendars soon as the bite is definitely picking up.

Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for May 12, 2025, for the San Francisco Bay area. The striped bass action is absolutely on fire right now in the Bay! Yesterday's reports show multiple charter boats bringing in impressive catches, with California Dawn II landing 36 stripers, some tipping the scales at up to 20 pounds. The halibut bite is also staying strong with most boats reporting solid numbers. Looking at today's conditions, we're expecting calm waters with a light westerly breeze picking up in the afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:02 AM and sunset will be at 8:12 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get your lines wet. We're currently in a moderate incoming tide that will peak around 11:30 AM, followed by an outgoing tide throughout the afternoon. For those targeting stripers, the Berkeley Flats and Angel Island areas have been particularly productive over the weekend. Trolling with Savage Gear swimming lures or white and chartreuse bucktails has been working well. If you prefer bait, live anchovy and shiner perch have been getting the most attention from hungry bass. Halibut anglers should try drifting the Central Bay channels with live bait. The Right Hook brought in 7 halibut yesterday morning in just a half-day trip, so they're definitely feeding. The Paradise area and south of Treasure Island have been consistent hot spots. For you shore anglers, the Berkeley Pier and Coyote Point have been producing nice stripers on swimbaits and pile worms. Early morning and late afternoon seem to be the magic hours. A couple hot spots to check out today: The area between Alcatraz and Angel Island has been absolutely lights out for both halibut and stripers. Also, don't overlook the waters near Hunter's Point where some larger stripers have been hanging out. If you're looking to book a charter, California Dawn II still has 13 spots available for today's Bay potluck trip targeting halibut and stripers. They're requiring all passengers to be checked in by 5:15 AM, so get there early! Remember to bring a variety of tackle as conditions can change quickly. Pack some swimbaits, bucktails, and don't forget the live bait if you can get it. That's your report for today, May 12, 2025. Tight lines, everyone! This is Artificial Lure signing off.

Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for May 11, 2025, for the San Francisco Bay area. The striped bass action is absolutely on fire right now across the Bay! Based on yesterday's reports, stripers are hitting hard, and the halibut bite is steadily improving as we move further into spring[2]. If you're heading out today, you're in for some excellent fishing. Recent reports from boats out of Berkeley show the Happy Hooker brought in 13 halibut and 10 striped bass yesterday[1]. The Right Hook out of Berkeley had 12 halibut and 12 striped bass with just 6 anglers on a half-day trip a few days back[1]. Over in Emeryville, the New Huck Finn landed 8 halibut (some up to 19 pounds!) and 22 striped bass[1]. These are solid numbers, folks! For those looking to target rockfish, the Sea Wolf out of Emeryville brought in 23 lingcod and 180 rockfish on their full-day trip[1]. That's nearly 10 fish per angler! Today's tides are running with a morning high followed by an afternoon low - perfect timing for working the flats as the water pulls out. Water temperatures are in the mid-50s, which has those halibut moving into shallower water. For bait, fresh anchovies and sardines are working great for halibut. If you're targeting stripers, try using swimbaits in pearl or chartreuse colors. Six to seven-inch Gulp! swimming mullets are also getting crushed right now. For the rockfish, squid strips and shrimp flies are your best bet. Hot spots include the Berkeley Flats, Angel Island, and the south end of Alcatraz for halibut. Stripers are being found along the Alameda shoreline and near the Oakland Airport. If you're heading out for rockfish, the Marin coastline has been productive. Remember that catch-and-release is mandatory for white sturgeon from now through June 30, and you need to have your Sturgeon Fishing Report Card with you[5]. The white seabass fishery remains open with a three-fish limit and a minimum size of 28 inches total length[5]. The sun rose at 6:02 AM today and will set at 8:14 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get on the water.

Sun, 11 May 2025 07:51:49 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for May 11, 2025, for the San Francisco Bay area. The striped bass action is absolutely on fire right now across the Bay! Based on yesterday's reports, stripers are hitting hard, and the halibut bite is steadily improving as we move further into spring[2]. If you're heading out today, you're in for some excellent fishing. Recent reports from boats out of Berkeley show the Happy Hooker brought in 13 halibut and 10 striped bass yesterday[1]. The Right Hook out of Berkeley had 12 halibut and 12 striped bass with just 6 anglers on a half-day trip a few days back[1]. Over in Emeryville, the New Huck Finn landed 8 halibut (some up to 19 pounds!) and 22 striped bass[1]. These are solid numbers, folks! For those looking to target rockfish, the Sea Wolf out of Emeryville brought in 23 lingcod and 180 rockfish on their full-day trip[1]. That's nearly 10 fish per angler! Today's tides are running with a morning high followed by an afternoon low - perfect timing for working the flats as the water pulls out. Water temperatures are in the mid-50s, which has those halibut moving into shallower water. For bait, fresh anchovies and sardines are working great for halibut. If you're targeting stripers, try using swimbaits in pearl or chartreuse colors. Six to seven-inch Gulp! swimming mullets are also getting crushed right now. For the rockfish, squid strips and shrimp flies are your best bet. Hot spots include the Berkeley Flats, Angel Island, and the south end of Alcatraz for halibut. Stripers are being found along the Alameda shoreline and near the Oakland Airport. If you're heading out for rockfish, the Marin coastline has been productive.

We kicked off the weekend with a typical May marine layer blanketing the Bay this morning. The forecast calls for partial clearing by mid-day, with highs topping out around 64 degrees. Winds remain light out of the west at about 8 to 12 knots—not glassy, but friendly enough for a comfortable drift. Today’s sunrise was at 6:02 AM, and sunset comes at 8:08 PM, giving you plenty of light for a solid session. Tides are swinging with a morning outgoing that bottomed out around 8:30 AM, followed by a strong incoming through the afternoon. That’s prime time for halibut and bass to get hungry along the flats and channels—don’t sleep on the midday bite. The action has been reliably steady this week. Recent party boat counts out of Berkeley and Emeryville show halibut and striped bass are the headline grabbers. Boats like the Right Hook out of Berkeley scored 12 halibut and 12 striped bass for 6 anglers on a half-day trip just two days ago. Over in Emeryville, the New Huck Finn delivered 8 halibut (topping out at 19 pounds) and 22 striped bass to 11 anglers, while the Sea Wolf ran up a haul of 23 lingcod and a whopping 180 rockfish for a full boat—those numbers tell the story[1]. For best results today, try drifting live anchovies or shiner perch near Alcatraz, Angel Island, or the flats off Berkeley, especially as the tide pushes in. If you’re fishing artificials, white swimbaits, hair jigs, and chrome or chartreuse spoons have been hot for both halibut and bass. Bass are schooling off Crissy Field on the outgoing, and the rock piles near Treasure Island are giving up some quality rockfish and the occasional lingcod for those willing to drop down heavier gear. If shore fishing, the Pier 7 and Fort Point areas are consistent for stripers—toss out cut anchovy or pileworms on a sliding sinker rig near the pilings. Please remember, for sturgeon, it’s catch and release only, with strict gear and handling rules, so be sure to check the latest regulations if you’re targeting them[4]. Hot spots to hit today: the Berkeley Flats for halibut and bass on the drift, and the Marin shoreline north of the Golden Gate for quality rockfish and the odd lingcod. That’s your Saturday report from Artificial Lure—tight lines and see you on the water. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for this fine Friday morning, May 9th, 2025. The bass action is absolutely on fire right now across the Bay! Reports from earlier this week show that striped bass fishing has been "wide open" according to Sean Hodges over at J&P Bait. Both boaters and shore anglers have been hauling in impressive numbers and sizes. Just this past weekend, the Lovely Martha charter reported absolute limits of bass on May 2nd - we're talking 11 limits (22 fish) plus a bonus halibut. The tides have been improving since then, which should translate to better halibut numbers as we head into the weekend. For today, you'll want to hit the water early. The Fish Emeryville fleet has been consistently scoring with both stripers and halibut. On a recent outing, the New Huck Finn had 6 anglers land 12 striped bass and 8 halibut in a single day trip. As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying around Emeryville and the Berkeley Flats for halibut. For stripers, the entire Bay is producing, but pay special attention to structure and current breaks. The waters near Alcatraz and Angel Island have been particularly productive for boaters. Bait-wise, live anchovies are golden if you can get them. Fresh shiner perch are also working well for both halibut and bass. If you're throwing artificials, try white or chartreuse swimbaits on a 1-2 oz jighead depending on current. Trollers are scoring with shallow-running plugs in bright colors. For shore anglers, the Berkeley Pier area and spots along the San Francisco waterfront are your best bets. Incoming tides have been most productive, especially the first couple hours. Remember to check your limits and regulations before heading out. The bite has been best in the morning hours, so don't sleep in if you want to fill the cooler! That's all for today's report, folks.

Bay conditions are shaping up nicely for a productive day on the water. The weather is mild with partly cloudy skies this morning and highs expected in the mid 60s by afternoon. Winds are light to moderate out of the west, making for comfortable conditions whether you are fishing from a boat or the shoreline. Sunrise was at 6:04 am and sunset will be at 8:05 pm, so there is plenty of daylight for those early risers or late evening bites. Tidal movement is steady today. We’re coming off a series of mixed tides, with a morning high around 8 am, a good window for both bait and lure presentations targeting active feeders. Watch for outgoing tide action especially near channel edges and flats. Fishing activity has been excellent this week. Striped bass action is wide open across the Bay, with both boaters and shore anglers reporting good numbers and quality fish. Party boat reports from yesterday show strong catches, with multiple boats limiting out on bass. Some halibut are also mixing in, with most keepers coming from drift rigs and live bait along deeper contours near Treasure Island and the Berkeley Flats[1][2][3][4]. Recent trips have also seen solid numbers of rockfish and the occasional lingcod for those heading outside the Gate, but bay-bound anglers are finding plenty to keep them busy closer to home. On the striper front, most fish are in the 20 to 28 inch range, with a few pushing up over legal limit. For your best shot today, live anchovies and shiners are top baits for both halibut and stripers. For those casting lures, try white or chartreuse swimbaits, bucktail jigs, or soft plastics like paddle tails. Trollers are doing well with broken-back plugs and minnow-style crankbaits. On the piers and shoreline, pileworms and cut anchovy are bringing bites. Hot spots to consider right now include the Berkeley Flats for halibut, the San Mateo Bridges for stripers, and the mouth of the Oakland Estuary for both species. Shore anglers are also connecting at Candlestick Point and along the San Leandro Marina. To sum up, with active tides and light winds, today looks like another banner day in the Bay. Good luck and tight lines from your friend, Artificial Lure. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today is shaping up nicely with mild weather and early morning fog giving way to clear skies and highs in the low 60s. Expect a light breeze and typical bay chop, making for comfortable conditions on the water. Sunrise was at 6:09 AM and sunset will be at 8:02 PM, giving you a nice long window to wet a line. Tide-wise, anglers can expect a solid outgoing tide through much of the morning, which has really been sparking fish activity over the past few days. Striped bass and halibut in particular have been most active during these moving waters, and recent catches confirm the action is steady to hot right now[2][3]. Over the weekend, party boats like the Lovely Martha out of San Francisco brought in impressive counts, with 32 striped bass and 3 California halibut for just 16 anglers on board[1]. Other boats around the bay have had similar success, especially from the Oakland Flats out toward Alcatraz and along the Marin shoreline[3][4]. Striped bass are schooling up in numbers and actively feeding, with many fish keeper size or better. Halibut action is heating up, especially for those drifting live bait. Best bets for bait today are live anchovies or sardines, which have been out-fishing frozen baits. For those working artificials, white or chartreuse swimbaits, paddle tails, and hair jigs have been putting fish in the box. Trolling herring or anchovy imitators is also working well, especially for halibut along sandy bottoms. A reminder to check your regs—the surfperch fishery is closed in the bay until August 1, but you can still target shiner perch, with a generous 20 fish limit. The salmon fishery remains closed for now but will open briefly next month, so keep your eyes peeled for updates[5]. If you are looking for a hot spot, the Berkeley Flats and the Alameda Rockwall are both producing consistent striper and halibut bites. Closer to the City, the areas off Crissy Field and Angel Island are worth a drift or two, especially on the outgoing tide. That wraps up today’s report. The bite is on, so grab your gear and get out there—you don’t want to miss it. Tight lines from Artificial Lure and see you on the water.

Artificial Lure here with your Sunday fishing update for the Bay Area. The sun rose about an hour ago, and we're looking at decent conditions for a day on the water. Striped bass fishing remains stellar right now! Yesterday's reports show multiple charter boats scoring limits. The California Dawn wrapped up with solid striped bass action on May 3rd, and Lovely Martha reported 11 limits (22 fish) of bass plus a bonus halibut on Friday[3][4]. The bite has been consistent, and with improving tides, we should start seeing better halibut numbers in the coming days. Speaking of seasons, remember that rockfish and Pacific halibut opened up on May 1st, so there's plenty of opportunity for those wanting to venture outside the Golden Gate[2]. For those staying in the Bay, note that the surfperch fishery inside San Francisco and San Pablo bays remains closed until August 1st - though shiner perch are exempt from this closure with a separate 20-fish limit[5]. Salmon hunters will need to be patient. The recreational salmon season remains closed currently but will open briefly on June 7-8 with a limited quota, so mark your calendars[5]. For today's trip, I'd recommend focusing on stripers using swim baits in the 6-8 inch range mimicking anchovy patterns. Live bait is working well too - especially anchovies if you can get them. The incoming tide this afternoon should produce well along the Berkeley Flats and Angel Island edges. Hot spots today: Paradise Cay has been producing consistently for boaters working the deeper channel edges. For shore anglers, the Alameda rockwall near the former naval base has been giving up some quality bass during the last couple hours of incoming tide. Don't forget to check your gear before heading out. This time of year, having both lighter halibut setups and medium-weight striper tackle will keep you prepared for whatever's biting. For those looking to book a charter, there's apparently plenty of room today on half-day trips, so give your favorite captain a call if you're feeling spontaneous[4]. Tight lines, folks!

Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for the San Francisco Bay area. It's shaping up to be another banner day on the water! The bite has been absolutely stellar the last couple days, with halibut and striped bass providing most of the action. Yesterday's reports show boats like California Dawn II out of Berkeley bringing in 23 California halibut (up to 14 pounds!) and 10 striped bass. The Right Hook nabbed 8 halibut on just a half-day morning trip, so the fish are definitely feeding. We're currently fishing an outgoing tide this morning, which has been the ticket for both halibut and stripers. The fish are responding well to the current movement, especially along the Berkeley flats and Angel Island edges. The California Dawn crews limited out on bass yesterday, so they're definitely on the chew! For you halibut hunters, drift fishing with live anchovies has been the top producer. Bounce those baits right along the bottom where the flatties are lurking. If you're throwing artificials, white swimbaits with a touch of chartreuse have been getting crushed. Striped bass are hitting both live bait and lures. The old-timers are having success trolling P-Line Predator jigs in white/chartreuse along the tide lines. If you prefer casting, the topwater bite has been decent in the early morning with Heddon Spooks or similar walking baits. Weather-wise, we're looking at light westerly winds around 5-10 knots, perfect for working the central bay. Remember your layers though - typical SF morning fog should burn off by mid-morning. Hot spots to check today: The Berkeley Flats are firing for halibut, while Paradise Cay and the Marin shoreline are producing quality stripers. If you're launching out of San Francisco, the waters near Alcatraz and Angel Island have been consistent producers. For those looking to head out on a charter, both the California Dawn and Reel Addiction boats out of Berkeley have been on the fish. From San Francisco, several boats reported solid catches with 22 stripers and a bonus halibut on one trip yesterday. The upcoming rockfish and Pacific halibut seasons are also now open as of May 1st, so there's plenty of opportunity for those wanting to head outside the Gate. The season runs until November 15th, with a one-fish limit for Pacific halibut with no size restrictions. Tight lines, folks!

The weather today is classic Bay Area spring: mostly cloudy with patchy fog in the morning, temps in the mid-60s mid-day, and an afternoon westerly breeze around 12 to 15 knots. Sunrise was at 6:10 am and sunset will be at 8:00 pm. The tidal swing is moderate today, with an early morning high and an outgoing tide through midday—perfect conditions for drifting live bait for halibut. The bite has been picking up recently as water temperatures climb. California halibut and striped bass are the main targets in and around the central and east bay this week. Yesterday’s party boat counts out of Berkeley were solid: the California Dawn II checked in with 23 halibut up to 14 pounds and 10 striped bass up to 8 pounds for 18 anglers. Smaller operations like Reel Addiction were also steady, with a mix of 4 to 8 halibut and 2 to 3 stripers for small groups. Over in San Francisco, the halibut action was a bit slower but still fair, with boats getting a couple of halibut and a handful of stripers on short trips[1]. Most fish are coming from the Oyster Point, Berkeley Flats, and Alcatraz areas. Paradise and the south side near Hunters Point are also producing, especially on the outgoing tide. Drifting live anchovies or shiners has been the most effective approach but swimbaits, hair jigs, and trap rigs tipped with herring or sardines are taking fish too. Fresh dead anchovies work well when you can’t find live bait. Surfperch fishing is closed in the Bay through July except for shiner perch, but the piers are still good for stripers and the occasional starry flounder. Fort Point Pier and McNear Beach both saw some action last month with stripers to 22 inches landed from shore and the odd flounder mixed in[5]. Herring spawn has wrapped up for the season, but if you like chasing shiners, Richardson Bay and the pilings around Sausalito are worth a shot[3]. Hot spots today are the Berkeley Flats for halibut and stripers and Oyster Point for both shore and kayak anglers. The bite is best on the first two hours of the outgoing tide. Bait shops are recommending live anchovies or shiners as your best bet, with artificial swimbaits in white, root beer, or chartreuse as good alternatives. Keep an eye on the wind this afternoon—those westerlies can make things lumpy, especially outside the Gate. Good luck, and see you on the water!

Fri, 02 May 2025 07:55:17 -0000 full Inception Point AI San Francisco Bay Fishing Report for May 2, 2025 Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with today’s local fishing update for San Francisco Bay. The weather today is classic Bay Area spring: mostly cloudy with patchy fog in the morning, temps in the mid-60s mid-day, and an afternoon westerly breeze around 12 to 15 knots. Sunrise was at 6:10 am and sunset will be at 8:00 pm. The tidal swing is moderate today, with an early morning high and an outgoing tide through midday—perfect conditions for drifting live bait for halibut. The bite has been picking up recently as water temperatures climb. California halibut and striped bass are the main targets in and around the central and east bay this week. Yesterday’s party boat counts out of Berkeley were solid: the California Dawn II checked in with 23 halibut up to 14 pounds and 10 striped bass up to 8 pounds for 18 anglers. Smaller operations like Reel Addiction were also steady, with a mix of 4 to 8 halibut and 2 to 3 stripers for small groups. Over in San Francisco, the halibut action was a bit slower but still fair, with boats getting a couple of halibut and a handful of stripers on short trips[1].

Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for this beautiful Wednesday morning, April 30th, 2025. The Bay is absolutely on fire right now! Over the past couple weeks, we've seen a tremendous uptick in halibut action as the tides have been backing down, creating perfect conditions for these flat fish to get aggressive[1]. California halibut have been particularly active, with boats out of Berkeley reporting impressive numbers - California Dawn II brought in 23 halibut up to 14 pounds just yesterday, along with 10 striped bass up to 8 pounds[5]. Speaking of stripers, they're definitely making their spring showing. Several anglers scored nice striped bass last week despite some challenging conditions early on[4]. As we move deeper into spring, this bite should only improve. For you rockfish enthusiasts, April has been outstanding! The outer Bay and coastal waters are producing limits of quality rockfish, and the lingcod action has been stellar too. The New Sea Angler out of Bodega Bay recently reported 35 lingcod up to 17 pounds and 200 rockfish with just 20 anglers aboard[5]. That's some serious action! If you're heading out today, I recommend targeting halibut in the central Bay using live bait - anchovies or shiner perch if you can net them. Drift the flats near Angel Island or Alcatraz during incoming tide for best results. For stripers, try trolling shallow-running swimbaits along the Berkeley flats or tossing bucktail jigs near structure. Hot spots this week include the Berkeley flats for halibut, Paradise Cay for stripers, and if you're boat-bound, head outside the Gate for tremendous rockfish and lingcod action at the Farallon Islands. For you shore anglers, the fishing piers have been producing decent action on kingfish and occasional halibut. Try the Berkeley Pier or Alameda Rock Wall with high-low rigs baited with pile worms or anchovies. Remember, the tides are moderating this week, which should make for some excellent fishing opportunities all around the Bay. The morning bite has been particularly strong, so get out early if you can. That's all for today, folks! This is Artificial Lure signing off. Tight lines and don't forget to send me your catch photos for our next report. See ya on the water! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The Bay is waking up big time this spring. Overnight we saw clear skies and cool temps, with the morning settling in around 54 degrees and light winds. Today’s forecast calls for highs in the low 60s, patchy morning fog burning off by midday, and winds building midafternoon. Sunrise was at 6:22 AM, sunset will be at 7:51 PM—plenty of daylight to wet a line. Tides are solid for fishing today. We saw a morning high tide just after dawn, then a moderate outgoing into the early afternoon. Those moving waters should have fish on the chew, especially halibut and striped bass in the central and south bay. Halibut action continues to be strong throughout the Bay, with anglers scoring solid numbers of keepers along the Berkeley Flats, South Bay edges, and the shipping channels off Treasure Island. Most boats are seeing multiple fish per trip, with many hitting legal size. Anchovies and herring, live or dead, have been the top baits. Trollers are also doing well pulling tray herring or soft swimbaits in white or chartreuse. Live bait has been available at most bait receivers, and the first wave of anchovies is in. Striped bass fishing has finally picked up after a slow winter. Shore casters and boaters alike are hooking quality stripers up to 12 pounds between Alcatraz and the Oakland Airport flats. The top technique is drifting live anchovies, but pile worms, ghost shrimp, or even cut sardine will work if you anchor up by structure. For artificials, try a one-ounce white hair jig or a 5" paddle tail swimbait bounced along the bottom. Leopard sharks and bat rays are also active in the shallows near Oyster Point and Paradise Park. Use a sliding sinker setup with squid or mackerel cut bait for best results—there’s been lots of rod-bending action for folks just looking for a fight. Rockfish and lingcod are open outside the Gate as of April, but note the season changes and keep an eye on regulations. Party boats have been getting solid counts on both species fishing the Marin and San Mateo coasts, using shrimp flies tipped with squid or large swimbaits. A couple of hot spots today: Berkeley Flats for halibut and stripers, and the Alameda Rockwall for mixed action on bass and the occasional halibut. Don’t overlook Crissy Field and Fort Baker piers for shore-based chances at bass and sharks. Overall, the Bay is primed and the bite is on. Get after it and bring a mix of live bait and soft plastics. Good luck and tight lines out there today. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today’s sunrise was around 6:25 AM with the sun setting close to 7:50 PM giving us plenty of daylight hours to fish the changing tides. Early spring tides are backing down now which has been good news for those targeting halibut as the bite has steadily improved. The bay has seen mild, fish-friendly conditions—mostly clear skies, light morning winds, and highs in the upper 60s. With the tide easing off, expect solid action especially in the mid-morning through early afternoon as the water movement picks up and triggers feeding activity. The past few days have seen impressive counts coming from the local fleet especially out of Berkeley and San Francisco. Boats like the California Dawn and California Dawn II checked in with 17 to 23 halibut and several striped bass per trip. Halibut have ranged up to 22 pounds and bass up to 8 pounds. Smaller charters such as the Reel Addiction and Right Hook are also putting anglers on halibut and striped bass with consistent counts. Out at Bodega Bay, rockfish and lingcod are keeping rods bent, but inside the bay the real story is the steady improvement on halibut numbers with striped bass mixing in nicely. Best baits right now are live anchovies and herring if you can get them, though frozen works in a pinch. Trolling or drifting with a trap rig and a live baitfish is the go-to for halibut. If you’re working lures, try white or chartreuse swimbaits, or a classic hair jig tipped with squid. Striped bass are also responding well to topwater plugs and jerkbaits near the surface, especially where baitfish are schooling. Hot spots to focus your efforts include the flats outside of Alcatraz and the Pier 39 area for halibut, where the incoming tide brings in hungry fish. Crissy Field and the Berkeley Flats are producing both halibut and bass for those drifting bait or casting lures at active birds. For those looking to stay inshore, Mission Rock and the mouth of the Oakland Estuary have seen stripers cruising for bait on the outgoing tide. In short, the bay is waking up for spring. The bite is only going to get better this next week as the tides transition, so now’s the time to get out and target those big halibut and spring-run stripers while the weather holds steady.

First off, the spring bite has definitely kicked in around the Bay. Anglers have been finding solid action especially on California halibut and striped bass. Reports from yesterday’s party boats tell the story: the Lovely Martha out of San Francisco landed 10 halibut and 4 stripers on their half-day trip, while the Argo brought in 3 halibut and a striper with just 3 anglers aboard. Over in Berkeley, the Right Hook checked in with an even 3 halibut and 3 stripers for 6 anglers. Out of Emeryville, the Sea Wolf ran out for rockfish and lingcod and came back loaded with 27 lings and a whopping 150 rockfish. That tells you both the inside and outside are producing, depending on your target species and run distance from the dock[2][4]. For shore and pier anglers, the striped bass bite is on the upswing—especially near Oyster Point, Candlestick, and the Berkeley flats. If you prefer a boat, hit the south bay flats for halibut in 8-20 feet of water, drifting live anchovies or trolling hoochies and swimbaits. The San Mateo Bridge has also been steady, with bass moving through on the tide changes[4][5]. As for the tides, we’ve got easing conditions coming off the bigger swings last week, which is prime for halibut to get more aggressive. Low wind and clear mornings are the trend—expect light west or northwest breezes by early afternoon. Today’s forecast is calling for mild temps in the high 50s to mid 60s, mostly sunny—with sunrise at 6:27 AM and sunset at 7:50 PM. As for bait and tackle: live anchovies and herring are always gold for halibut if you can get them, but don’t overlook white or chartreuse swimbaits or sardine-patterned spoons. For bass, topwater plugs early in the day and chartreuse soft plastics or pile worms near structure have been working well. Out the Gate, for those after rockfish and lings, drop jigs or shrimp flies tipped with squid or mackerel strips. Hot spots to try include Angel Island and the flat areas around the Alameda Rock Wall for halibut, and the mid-bay reefs, Pier 7, and Crissy Field for striped bass. If you’re heading out for rockfish, the Marin Coast and areas outside the Golden Gate are producing limits. That’s it for today’s report.

Anglers, spring fishing is truly heating up across the Bay, and the bite has been picking up nicely after a slightly tougher spell last week. As we approach the heart of April, the halibut and striped bass are showing up in better numbers, and recent reports confirm the action is spreading throughout the central and south bay. Today, sunrise was at 6:28 AM and sunset will be at 7:47 PM, giving us a solid window for morning and afternoon bites. Tides are moderate and backing down, which usually improves the halibut situation, so expect conditions to be favorable for working the flats and drop-offs[4][5]. On the weather front, we’re waking up to gentle winds and overcast skies, with highs reaching the upper 50s to low 60s by midday—classic Bay weather, perfect for a day on the water. Let’s talk fish counts: Yesterday’s party boats out of San Francisco hit some solid numbers. The Lovely Martha brought in 14 California halibut and 10 striped bass on a full day, while their morning run saw 10 halibut and 4 bass landed. The Argo put 3 halibut and a striped bass on deck with just three anglers for a half day. Over in Berkeley, the Right Hook recorded 3 halibut and 3 striped bass in the AM, while Emeryville boats continued to fill coolers with rockfish and lingcod for those heading out to deeper reefs[1]. Bait-wise, live anchovies and shiners are the ticket for halibut, especially on a three-way swivel rig or drifting a trap rig just off the bottom in 8 to 20 feet of water. If you prefer artificials, white swimbaits and chartreuse flukes are getting hammered in the clearer edges of the Bay. For striped bass, drifting live bait along current seams is producing, and trolling with Rat-L-Traps or Hair Raisers near the piers and along the Marin shoreline remains effective. Hot spots right now include the South Bay flats near Oyster Point and the waters around Alcatraz and Treasure Island for both bass and halibut. Berkeley Flats have also lit up, especially on outgoing tides, and the piers around the San Mateo Bridge continue to produce fish for shore anglers. Overall, the bite is steady and the fun is picking up for Bay Area anglers. With tides easing and fish on the move, now’s the time to hit the water, grab your favorite bait, and chase down a spring halibut or striped bass before the summer crowds arrive.

We’re rolling into mid-spring and the bay is heating up for anglers. Today, expect a mild start with light morning winds and mostly clear skies. Temperatures should peak in the low 60s. Sunrise came at 6:30 am and sunset tonight will be around 7:47 pm, giving you plenty of daylight to get on the bite. Tidal action is favorable with moderate movement most of the day—ideal for targeting both halibut and stripers, particularly during the last two hours of the incoming tide and first hour of the outgoing. The tides are just backing down from earlier in the week, so fish will be actively feeding[4]. On the fish front, halibut and striped bass are leading the show. Party boats are consistently putting up solid numbers: reports from the last two days show boats like the Lovely Martha landing 16 halibut for 8 anglers along with stray stripers. The Reel Addiction out of Berkeley had a nice haul of 6 halibut and 8 stripers for 6 anglers, and Emeryville boats have had days with 10 halibut per boat[5]. Lingcod and rockfish are also showing in good numbers outside the Gate and at the Marin Islands, especially after the recent season opener[6]. Best baits for today: Live anchovies, sardines, grass shrimp, and pile worms are pulling in stripers and halibut. For artificials, small swimbaits and jerkbaits in silver or white are money, especially when water clarity is good. Popular picks include the Keitech Fat Swing Impact, Z-Man Diezel Minnowz, and P-Line Twin Tail Squids for halibut. For stripers, try Yo-Zuri or Rapala minnow plugs, bucktail jigs, or Kastmasters. Tip your jigs with squid or sardine for added scent[6][10][7]. If you’re heading out, two hot spots to focus on: Berkeley Flats is the go-to for halibut and stripers—drift live bait or work plastics near eelgrass beds. The Marin Islands, just outside the Richmond Bridge, are producing a mixed bag of rockfish, lingcod, and halibut. Great for bouncing jigs or soaking bait. For shore anglers, Fort Point Pier and Candlestick Point are both steady for jacksmelt and the occasional halibut or striper, especially fishing cut bait on a sliding sinker rig[7][6]. Remember, perch are mostly off-limits right now except for shiner perch. Rockfish and lingcod are fair game if you venture outside the bay proper, and bat rays are still kicking around the piers if you’re soaking larger baits. Overall, with the spring transition, fish are on the move and biting well. Today looks like a fantastic day to be out—whether you’re drifting live bait, tossing plugs, or working plastics, odds are good for a tug on your line. Good luck out there and tight lines!

The Reel Addiction out of Berkeley had a nice haul of 6 halibut and 8 stripers for 6 anglers, and Emeryville boats have had days with 10 halibut per boat[5]. Lingcod and rockfish are also showing in good numbers outside the Gate and at the Marin Islands, especially after the recent season opener[6]. Best baits for today: Live anchovies, sardines, grass shrimp, and pile worms are pulling in stripers and halibut. For artificials, small swimbaits and jerkbaits in silver or white are money, especially when water clarity is good. Popular picks include the Keitech Fat Swing Impact, Z-Man Diezel Minnowz, and P-Line Twin Tail Squids for halibut. For stripers, try Yo-Zuri or Rapala minnow plugs, bucktail jigs, or Kastmasters. Tip your jigs with squid or sardine for added scent[6][10][7]. If you’re heading out, two hot spots to focus on: Berkeley Flats is the go-to for halibut and stripers—drift live bait or work plastics near eelgrass beds. The Marin Islands, just outside the Richmond Bridge, are producing a mixed bag of rockfish, lingcod, and halibut. Great for bouncing jigs or soaking bait. For shore anglers, Fort Point Pier and Candlestick Point are both steady for jacksmelt and the occasional halibut or striper, especially fishing cut bait on a sliding sinker rig[7][6]. Remember, perch are mostly off-limits right now except for shiner perch. Rockfish and lingcod are fair game if you venture outside the bay proper, and bat rays are still kicking around the piers if you’re soaking larger baits. Overall, with the spring transition, fish are on the move and biting well. Today looks like a fantastic day to be out—whether you’re drifting live bait, tossing plugs, or working plastics, odds are good for a tug on your line. Good luck out there and tight lines!

Today’s weather is shaping up classic springtime in the Bay — expect mild morning temps, light winds, and mostly clear skies, making for very fishable conditions through the day. Sunrise came at 6:39 AM, and sunset will be around 7:46 PM, giving anglers a long window to get after it. The tide’s working in our favor too, with the best action anticipated during the last hour of the incoming and the start of the outgoing — key times for both bank and boat anglers[2][6][7]. The bite has been heating up as April rolls on. Out on the boats, the counts have been strong: party boats fishing out of San Francisco and Emeryville are reporting limits or near-limits on California Halibut, with good numbers of Striped Bass mixed in. Recent trips saw catches like 16 halibut and a stray bass for just 8 anglers and similar tallies out of Berkeley and Emeryville, where some groups even pulled double digits of both halibut and bass. Lingcod and rockfish are also showing well, especially on the Marin coast and near the Farallon Islands, with counts like 15 lingcod and 190 rockfish for a full boat[1][8][6]. From shore, Fort Point Pier and Candlestick Point remain hot spots. Anglers fishing these areas are hooking up with jacksmelt, some solid perch, and the occasional halibut or striped bass. The striper bite can be a hunt, but they’re there. South Bay piers such as Oyster Point are seeing mostly smelt and some bat rays, but the odd halibut is in the mix, especially on high tide pushes[6][7][9]. When it comes to bait and lures, here’s what’s working now: - For halibut, you can’t beat live anchovies or shiners if you can get them, but soft plastics like white P-Line Twin Tail Squids, Pitbull Tackle Killer Jigs, and Keitech swimbaits rigged on a half-ounce jighead are top choices for artificials. Color-wise, stick to white, silver, or baitfish patterns for best results[6][10]. - Striped bass are smacking cut anchovies and pile worms, while bank anglers are scoring with 1 to 2 inch swimbaits, Kastmasters, and classic jerkbaits in perch or smelt patterns. Try Gulp! swimbaits or bucktail jigs if you want to cover water and find active fish[7][10]. - For rockfish and lingcod, get out to the reefs near Marin or the Golden Gate and drop down shrimp-flavored plastics, large swimbaits, or traditional jigs. The bite has been very good early in the season[6]. If you’re looking for action today, aim for the Berkeley Flats or the Marin Islands from a boat for halibut and bass, or, from shore, set up at Fort Point Pier or Candlestick Point — both are producing a mix of species and steady bites[6][7]. All told, conditions are prime and the fish are biting. Get out there and fish while the run’s on — and as always, tight lines from Artificial Lure!

Here’s the latest report to help you plan your day on the water. The morning tide in San Francisco today features a low tide at approximately 5:45 AM, followed by a high tide around 11:50 AM. This tidal pattern makes the late morning a fantastic time to target fish as water movement often activates a feeding frenzy. Weather conditions are favorable today, with clear skies, light winds, and temperatures peaking around 65°F by midday, creating an excellent environment for fishing. Recent catches have been promising. Boats from Berkeley and Emeryville, such as the Lovely Martha, reported great success with California Halibut and Striped Bass. On April 13, the boat Lovely Martha tallied 16 halibut and one striped bass for eight anglers, while the Sea Wolf out of Emeryville landed 15 lingcod and 190 rockfish for 19 anglers. Shore anglers at Fort Point Pier have seen a mix of jacksmelt, small rockfish, and occasional striped bass. If you're targeting California Halibut, head to Berkeley Flats or the Marin Islands, which have been highly productive. For Striped Bass, using cut baits like anchovies or grass shrimp has been effective. On the other hand, if you're planning on using artificial lures, both swimbaits in silver or white and soft plastics like P-Line Twin Tail Squids or Pitbull Tackle Killer Jigs are excellent choices. For trolling, fresh anchovies or herring behind a flasher are sure to attract halibut, especially in clearer waters. For shore anglers, Fort Point Pier provides consistent action for jacksmelt and occasional perch (currently only shiner perch can be kept). Candlestick Point is another solid option for halibut and perch, while Oyster Point Pier occasionally yields jacksmelt and bat rays. A couple of hot spots to consider today include: - **Berkeley Flats**: Ideal for halibut and striped bass anglers. Use live or fresh bait during tidal changes. - **Marin Islands**: A mixed bag with halibut, lingcod, and rockfish. Target lingcod using jigs or soft plastics near rocky structures. - **Fort Point Pier**: A reliable option for shore anglers looking for a variety of smaller fish, including rockfish and jacksmelt. Lastly, be sure to abide by local fishing regulations. Perch retention is limited to only shiner perch until August 1, and sturgeon are catch-and-release only. With clear skies, cooperative tides, and active fish, today promises to be a fantastic day on the bay. Tight lines!

Here’s your fishing report for April 12, 2025, covering the San Francisco Bay and surrounding areas. Whether you’re heading out on a boat or casting from shore, today looks like another promising day for fishing. First, let's look at the weather and tides. San Francisco is experiencing partly cloudy skies this morning with light winds, creating excellent conditions for both boaters and shore anglers. Sunrise was at 6:36 AM, and the sun will set tonight at 7:44 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to enjoy your fishing. The tide chart shows that the last hour of the incoming tide and the first hour of the outgoing tide today should provide peak fish activity, particularly for species like striped bass and halibut. Speaking of fish activity, April is shaping up to be a fantastic month on the Bay. With the Rockfish and Lingcod season recently reopened on April 1, anglers have been scoring impressive numbers, particularly on party boats. Lingcod and Rockfish are being hauled in consistently, especially around the Marin Islands. For halibut enthusiasts, the action has been fantastic at Berkeley Flats, with reports of good-sized California Halibut biting on live anchovies and soft plastics. In the last few days, boats like the C Gull II and Lovely Martha have reported double-digit halibut catches along with several striped bass. Live bait, particularly anchovies, shiner perch, and grass shrimp, continues to be the best option for halibut and striped bass. For those using artificial lures, swimbaits and jerkbaits in silver or white have been highly effective when water clarity is decent. For halibut, soft baits like the P-Line Twin Tail Squids or Z-Man Diezel Minnowz are productive, especially if tipped with a piece of squid or sardine. If you're chasing striped bass from the shore, cast smaller lures like Kastmasters or Rat-L-Traps for consistent results. As for hot spots, the Berkeley Flats is a must-visit for excellent halibut and striped bass action. The Marin Islands are another top destination, with a great mix of Lingcod, Rockfish, and Halibut being caught there. For shore anglers, Fort Point Pier and Candlestick Point are producing steady action on jacksmelt, striped bass, and the occasional halibut. Recent catches include 10 halibut and eight striped bass on a recent trip by the Happy Hooker, and the Sea Wolf reported a haul of 15 Lingcod and 190 Rockfish. If you're targeting shark species, the leopard sharks are larger this season, and fresh sardines have been the bait of choice. With calm weather and plenty of fish biting across the bay, today is a great day to grab your gear and hit the water. Tight lines, everyone!

Here’s your fishing report for Friday, April 11, 2025, focusing on the vibrant waters of San Francisco Bay. Whether you’re heading out on a boat or fishing from shore, today’s conditions and recent activity are shaping up to make for a fun day on the water. The sunrise graced us at 6:38 a.m., and the sun will set at 7:42 p.m., giving you a solid window of daylight. Weather-wise, it’s calm with light winds and clear skies this morning—ideal for fishing trips of all kinds. Tidal movements are crucial when planning your day. The best fishing windows often coincide with the last hour of an incoming tide and the first hour of the outgoing tide. Today, water clarity is fair, which bodes well for artificial lure action, especially for targeting striped bass and halibut. As for fish activity, the Rockfish and Lingcod season opened earlier this month, and reports suggest party boats are bringing in impressive catches. For instance, the Sea Wolf out of Emeryville recently tallied 190 rockfish and 15 lingcod on a single trip. California halibut are also heating up, with significant catches recorded around Berkeley Flats and the Marin Islands. Boats like the Lovely Martha reported 16 California halibut and one striped bass on a full-day trip this week. Striped bass action has been consistent, with successful outings using cut baits like anchovies and grass shrimp or tossing swimbaits. For shore anglers, hotspots like Fort Point Pier and Candlestick Point are producing jacksmelt, small rockfish, perch, and even the occasional halibut. Remember that perch regulations mean only shiner perch may be kept, with a 20-fish limit. When it comes to bait and lures, live anchovies or smelt are highly effective for halibut, while sardines and grass shrimp are reliable for striped bass. Artificial lures such as soft plastics, swimbaits, Kastmasters, and P-Line Twin Tail Squids are recommended for anglers seeking versatility. If targeting lingcod or rockfish, jigs tipped with squid or sardine are the way to go. For those venturing out, Berkeley Flats and the Marin Islands are top picks for halibut, striped bass, and rockfish this time of year.

With light morning winds and a mostly clear sky, the weather is perfect for hitting the water. Sunrise graced us at 6:45 a.m., with sunset expected at 7:38 p.m., providing ample daylight for casting your lines. The tidal swings are moderate today, with the last hour of the incoming tide and the first hour of the outgoing being prime times for action. The Rockfish and Lingcod season opened on April 1, and reports suggest solid catches are being made already. Party boats have recorded impressive numbers, with Lingcod and Rockfish dominating the counts. From the shore, Striped Bass activity is steady, though many larger fish have retreated inland to river systems. However, plenty are still being caught in the bay using cut baits like anchovies and pile worms or artificial lures like swimbaits and Kastmasters. Californian Halibut are becoming more active as April begins, especially around Berkeley Flats and the Marin Islands, where anglers targeting these flatfish have had success with live bait and soft plastic lures. For those seeking variety, areas like Fort Point Pier are seeing a mix of Jacksmelt, small rockfish, and the occasional striped bass. Further south, Candlestick Point offers solid halibut and perch action, though perch restrictions apply—only Shiner Perch may be kept, with a 20-fish limit. The South Bay piers, like Oyster Point Pier, are mainly yielding Jacksmelt and some bat rays. For bait, anchovies, sardines, and grass shrimp continue to perform well. Artificial lures mimicking local forage fish—like smaller swimbaits and jerkbaits in silver or white—are also highly effective, particularly when there’s decent water clarity. For Halibut, soft plastics like P-Line Twin Tail Squids or Pitbull Tackle Killer Jigs have proven to attract quality catches, especially when tipped with a piece of squid or sardine. If you're planning to venture out, hot spots to consider today include the Berkeley Flats for Halibut and Striped Bass or the Marin Islands for a mix of Rockfish, Lingcod, and Halibut. For shore anglers, Fort Point Pier and Candlestick Point are great choices for consistent action. With the Rockfish and Lingcod season freshly underway and Halibut activity picking up, it’s a fantastic time to be on the water around San Francisco Bay. Tight lines!

If you're planning to venture out, hot spots to consider today include the Berkeley Flats for Halibut and Striped Bass or the Marin Islands for a mix of Rockfish, Lingcod, and Halibut. For shore anglers, Fort Point Pier and Candlestick Point are great choices for consistent action. With the Rockfish and Lingcod season freshly underway and Halibut activity picking up, it’s a fantastic time to be on the water around San Francisco Bay. Tight lines!

On April 4, 2025, anglers can expect a productive day on the water, with striped bass and halibut leading the charge. The tidal conditions for today show a low tide around 7:15 AM and a high tide later in the afternoon, creating favorable windows for fishing during the tidal changes. Sunrise is at 6:47 AM, and sunset will be at 7:36 PM, offering plenty of daylight for a full day of angling. The weather is shaping up to be ideal, with calm winds and clear visibility reported. Although water temperatures remain cool, striped bass activity is thriving. Recent reports indicate that stripers are biting well, with catches averaging 20-22 inches, and limits being reached on some outings. Halibut action is just starting to pick up, though warmer water will improve their presence in the bay. For bait and tackle, anchovies and sardines (either live or cut) are top choices for striped bass, while soft swimbaits, bucktail jigs, and Rapala minnows can work effectively for both stripers and halibut. If targeting halibut specifically, glass minnow lures and slow-twitch baits are excellent. For a chance at sharks or rays, squid or chunks of smelt are reliable baits. This time of year, fishing from piers or by boat offers great options. Hotspots include: - **Berkeley Flats**: A solid location for halibut and striped bass. - **Fort Point Pier**: Known for its accessibility and potential to catch a mix of species, including smaller rockfish and occasional stripers. - **Candlestick Point Piers**: A great spot for striped bass and possible halibut action. Regulations remain key—perch retention is prohibited until August, but shinerperch can be kept with a limit of 20. Dungeness crab cannot be taken within the bay, though rock crab is allowed. Overall, spring fishing in San Francisco Bay is kicking off strong, with stripers showing consistent activity and halibut gearing up as temperatures rise. Whether from the shore or a boat, today promises rewarding opportunities for anglers. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The weather today is calm and bright, with a high of around 62°F and minimal wind—perfect fishing conditions for anglers looking to make the most of their time on the water. Sunrise was at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 7:33 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to reel in some beauties. The tides are on your side today: the early morning low tide around 3:35 AM brings plenty of opportunity to fish deeper channels, and the high tide around 10:20 AM will encourage fish to push into shallower feeding grounds. In terms of fish activity, California Halibut is the star of the show as we dive into peak season. Anglers have been reporting good catches, both inside the bay and near prominent hotspots such as Berkeley Flats. Striped Bass are also making appearances, especially in areas closer to the Delta. Recent counts from local charter boats show steady numbers: a ½ day trip on March 31 yielded catches of 2 Halibut and 3 Striped Bass for one group, and similar results have been observed for other recent trips. Jacksmelt, perch, and some rays and sharks are still present, adding variety for shoreline anglers. For bait and lures, you can't go wrong with soft plastics like Keitech FAT Swing Impacts and P-Line Twin Tail Squids, especially in white or chartreuse. For jigging, consider metal jigs such as Diamond Jigs or Copper Pipe Jigs, which remain reliable for enticing Halibut in deeper waters. Natural bait options like anchovies, grass shrimp, and pile worms are highly effective, particularly for Striped Bass and other bottom-feeders. If you're looking for prime fishing spots today, Berkeley Flats is an excellent choice for boat anglers hunting Halibut or Striped Bass. For pier action, Fort Point Pier and Candlestick Park are solid options, with opportunities to catch perch, flounder, and even the occasional sturgeon. If you're willing to venture further offshore, the Farallon Islands are a premier destination for Lingcod, Rockfish, and larger Halibut. Remember to stay compliant with regulations: Sturgeon is catch-and-release only, and keep in mind that perch fishing is restricted from April 1 to August 1 within the Bay, except for shinerperch, which have a 20-fish limit. If you're crabbing, Rock Crabs are fair game, but Dungeness may only be kept outside the Golden Gate. Good luck out there today—conditions are perfect, and the fish are biting! Tight lines!

Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for March 31, 2025. We've got a high tide of 6.43 feet at 1:10 AM and a low tide of -0.81 feet at 7:35 AM. The next high tide hits 4.97 feet at 2:26 PM, followed by a low of 1.71 feet at 7:27 PM. Sunrise is at 6:56 AM, and we'll see the sun set at 7:32 PM. Weather's looking decent today - partly cloudy with highs around 62°F and a light westerly breeze. Perfect conditions for wetting a line! Fish activity has been picking up lately as we head into spring. Striped bass are showing up in good numbers, with several anglers reporting catches in the 5-10 pound range. California halibut action is also improving, especially around Angel Island and Alcatraz. A few lucky folks have even landed some early season salmon, though the season doesn't officially open for another month. For stripers, guys are having luck with swimbaits like the Tsunami Swim Shad in pearl white, as well as topwater lures early in the morning. Halibut are hitting on live anchovies or swimbaits bounced along the bottom. Don't forget about the perch either - they're biting well on pile worms or small pieces of shrimp. If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the Berkeley Flats for halibut or the Alameda Rock Wall for stripers. The waters around Treasure Island have also been productive lately. For you shark enthusiasts out there, leopard sharks are starting to make a showing. Fresh sardines or chunks of mackerel seem to be working well. Oh, and here's a little insider tip: word on the street is that some monster sturgeon have been hooked near the Dumbarton Bridge. Just remember, it's catch and release only for these prehistoric beasts. For you shore anglers, the fishing piers have been producing some decent action. McNear's Beach Pier in San Rafael has been hot for stripers, and folks are even landing the occasional sturgeon there. If you're heading out on a boat, make sure to check the latest regulations. Remember, no keeping of Dungeness crab inside the bay, but rock crabs are fair game. Lastly, don't forget about the humble jacksmelt. They might not be glamorous, but they're fun to catch and make great bait for larger predators. That's all for now, folks. Remember to grab your 2025 fishing license if you haven't already.

Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 23, 2025. We've got a high tide at 6:25 AM today, hitting 5.09 feet, with a low of 0.21 feet at 1:51 PM. Sunrise was at 7:08 AM and sunset will be at 7:25 PM. Weather's looking decent - partly cloudy with highs around 62°F and a light westerly breeze. Fish activity has been picking up lately as we head into spring. Striped bass are starting to show up in good numbers, with several anglers reporting catches in the 5-10 pound range. California halibut action is also improving, especially around Angel Island and Alcatraz. A few lucky folks have even landed some early season salmon, though the season doesn't officially open for another month. For stripers, guys are having luck with swimbaits like the Tsunami Swim Shad in pearl white, as well as topwater lures early in the morning. Halibut are hitting on live anchovies or swimbaits bounced along the bottom. Don't forget about the perch either - they're biting well on pile worms or small pieces of shrimp. If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the Berkeley Flats for halibut or the Alameda Rock Wall for stripers. The waters around Treasure Island have also been productive lately. For you shark enthusiasts out there, leopard sharks are starting to make a showing. Remember, there's a 36-inch minimum size limit and a daily bag limit of 3 fish. Fresh sardines or chunks of mackerel seem to be working well. Oh, and here's a little insider tip: word on the street is that some monster sturgeon have been hooked near the Dumbarton Bridge. Just remember, it's catch and release only for these prehistoric beasts. For you shore anglers, the fishing piers have been producing some decent action. McNear's Beach Pier in San Rafael has been hot for stripers, and folks are even landing the occasional sturgeon there. If you're heading out on a boat, make sure to check the latest regulations. Remember, no keeping of Dungeness crab inside the bay, but rock crabs are fair game. Lastly, don't forget about the humble jacksmelt. They might not be glamorous, but they're fun to catch and make great bait for larger predators. That's all for now, folks. Remember to grab your 2025 fishing license if you haven't already.

Recent reports show decent catches coming in. The Argo out of San Francisco landed 1 California halibut and 7 striped bass on a half-day trip earlier this week[7]. Over in Berkeley, the Reel Addiction brought in 14 striped bass and 1 halibut on a full-day excursion[10]. If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the Berkeley Flats for halibut or the Alameda Rock Wall for stripers. The waters around Treasure Island have also been productive lately[1]. For bait, you can't go wrong with live anchovies or smelt for halibut. Fresher is always better. If you're after rays or sharks, squid or chunks of mackerel work well[9]. Remember to grab your 2025 fishing license if you haven't already. Tight lines, everyone!

We've got a high tide at 11:05 AM today, hitting 6.1 feet, with a low of 0.3 feet at 5:29 PM. Sunrise is at 6:24 AM and sunset at 6:15 PM. Weather's looking decent with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-60s. Folks, the fishing's been heating up lately. We're seeing good numbers of striped bass and halibut in the bay. Last week, several anglers reported catching limits of stripers in the 5-10 pound range, with a few monsters over 20 pounds mixed in. The halibut bite has been steady, with most fish in the 8-15 pound class. For stripers, live anchovies are still the top bait, but guys throwing swimbaits like the 6-inch Tsunami Swim Shad in chartreuse are also getting bit. For halibut, drift live smelt or anchovies on a Carolina rig, or try slow-trolling a white 7-inch Berkley Gulp Jerk Shad. Don't forget about the sturgeon. A few lucky anglers have landed some dinosaurs in the 60-inch range using ghost shrimp or eel. Remember, it's catch and release only for sturgeon right now. As for hot spots, Berkeley Flats has been producing well for both halibut and stripers. The area around Treasure Island is also worth a look. If you're shore fishing, Crissy Field has been giving up some nice stripers during the incoming tide. For you crabbers out there, the Dungeness season is still going strong. Pots dropped near the Farallon Islands are coming up full. Remember to check those regulations before you head out, and tight lines to ya!

This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 108 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6617894596 Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for San Francisco Bay as of February 12, 2025. First off, let's talk about the conditions. Today, the sunrise was at 6:47 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM, giving us a good window for fishing. The weather is partly cloudy with a mild temperature of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit, which is pretty typical for this time of year. Now, let's dive into the tidal report. As of 3:30 PM, we're in the midst of a falling tide, with low tide expected at around 6:30 PM. This transition period can be great for catching certain species as they move with the changing water levels. Fish activity in the bay has been decent, especially for those targeting perch, jacksmelt, and small rockfish. Fort Point Pier and Fort Baker Pier are traditionally good spots this time of year for perch and small rockfish, and if you're lucky, you might even catch a sanddab, especially during rainy years like this one[1]. For those looking to catch striped bass, while many have moved inland into the Delta and Sacramento River, some are still available in the bay. Use cut bait like anchovies, grass shrimp, or pile worms, and don't forget to try some artificial lures as well. The Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier is a hotspot for striped bass and rockfish, so it's definitely worth a visit[3]. If you're after halibut, Alcatraz Island and Paradise Park near Tiburon are known for their productive fishing, although the action might be a bit slower this time of year[3]. Crabbing is also a consideration, but remember that Dungeness crabs cannot be kept inside the bay; you need to be outside the Golden Gate to keep them. Rock crabs, however, are fair game[1]. For bait, live or cut bait works well in the cooler, murkier waters of the bay. Anchovies, grass shrimp, and pile worms are good choices. If you prefer lures, bucktail jigs and soft plastics can mimic the natural baitfish and shrimp that these fish are looking for. In slightly clearer waters, faster lures like shiny metal jigs and plugs can also be effective[4]. Here are a couple of hot spots to consider: - **Fort Point Pier**: This pier is great for perch, small rockfish, and occasionally sanddab. It's easily accessible from Highway 101, and the scenery isn't bad either. - **Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier**: This iconic spot is perfect for striped bass and rockfish. The views of the Golden Gate Bridge are a bonus. Remember to always check the local and state regulations before you head out, especially with the sturgeon catch-and-release rules in effect until April[1][2].

First off, let's talk about the conditions. Today, the sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM. The weather is looking partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 48 degrees, making it a decent day to be out on the water. Tides are crucial, and today we have a high tide at 9:15 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM, which should give us some good windows for fishing. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. February is a great time for catching perch, and you can find them throughout the bay, especially on piers closer to the entrance. Fort Point Pier and Fort Baker Pier are your best bets for perch, small rockfish, and even some sanddab if it's a rainy year, which it has been so far[1]. Striped bass are still around, although many have moved inland into the Delta and Sacramento River. You can try your luck using cut bait like anchovies, grass shrimp, or pile worms, along with some artificial lures. The Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier and Paradise Park near Tiburon are known hotspots for striped bass[3]. Jacksmelt are abundant right now, and you'll find them at almost every pier, including Fort Mason Piers, Brisbane Fishing Pier, and Oyster Point Pier. These spots are also good for catching small rockfish and the occasional bat ray[1]. If you're after something bigger, Alcatraz Island and the Marin Islands are great spots for halibut and rockfish. However, keep in mind that halibut catches have been rare lately, and you'll need a bit of luck to land one[3]. For those targeting crabs, it's prime season for Dungeness crabs, but remember you can't keep them if you're fishing inside the bay. You'll need to head outside the Golden Gate to keep Dungeness crabs, while rock crabs are fair game inside the bay[1]. In terms of lures and bait, for striped bass and halibut, use cut bait or artificial lures like spoons and plugs. For perch and jacksmelt, small hooks with bait like anchovies, grass shrimp, or even small pieces of squid can work wonders. If you're bottom fishing for rockfish or sanddab, use a combination of squid, shrimp, and possibly some lures that mimic small fish. Two hot spots to consider today are Fort Point Pier and the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier. Fort Point Pier offers a mix of perch, small rockfish, and the possibility of catching a cabezon or lingcod. The Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier is a hotspot for striped bass and rockfish, with the added bonus of breathtaking views[1][3]. So, gear up, check your tackle, and get ready for a day on the water. Remember to follow all local regulations, especially the sturgeon catch-and-release rules until new regulations come out in April[1].

As of today, February 9, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip. ### Weather and Tides The weather is looking relatively calm, with partly cloudy skies and a gentle breeze out of the northwest. Water temperatures are still on the cooler side, which is typical for this time of year. For tides, we're in a period of moderate tidal changes. Today, you can expect a high tide around 11:15 AM and a low tide around 5:00 PM. These conditions should provide a good mix of water movement and calm periods, ideal for various fishing techniques. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you ample daylight to hit your favorite spots. ### Fish Activity February is a great time to catch a variety of species in San Francisco Bay. Here’s what’s been biting lately: - **Perch**: These are abundant throughout the bay, especially near the entrance. Fort Point Pier and areas around the Golden Gate Bridge are hot spots for perch. You can expect to catch a good number of them using small hooks with bait like small pieces of anchovy or shrimp. - **Jacksmelt**: These fish are everywhere, from Fort Mason Piers to Brisbane Fishing Pier and Oyster Point Pier. Expect to catch both large solitary fish and plenty of finger-sized babies. The same small hooks and bait that work for perch will also be effective for jacksmelt. - **Striped Bass**: Although many have moved inland into the Delta and Sacramento River, some stripers are still available. Use cut bait like anchovies, grass shrimp, or pile worms, and don’t forget to try artificial lures that mimic baitfish. - **Sanddab**: If it’s a rainy year, sanddab frequently show up in January and February. Fort Point Pier and Fort Baker Pier are your best bets. Try using small jigs or baited hooks near the bottom. - **Herring**: Keep an eye out for herring, which can appear any day. When they do, piers will be crowded with anglers snagging them or using nets. - **Rockfish and Small Species**: Fort Mason Piers and other spots are yielding small rockfish and other smaller species. ### Best Lures and Bait For perch and jacksmelt, small hooks with bait like small pieces of anchovy or shrimp work well. For striped bass, use cut bait or artificial lures that mimic baitfish. If you’re after sanddab, try using small jigs or baited hooks near the bottom. ### Hot Spots Here are a couple of hot spots you should consider: - **Fort Point Pier**: This pier is traditionally good for perch, small rockfish, and sometimes sanddab. It’s also a spot where you might luck into a cabezon or lingcod. To get there, take Highway 101 and turn into the parking lot near the toll plaza at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Follow Battery E. Road down the hill to Lincoln Boulevard, then turn and follow the road to the pier. - **Fort Mason Piers**: Th This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today, February 8th, 2025, promises to be an interesting day on the water, so let's dive into the details. First off, let's check the tides. According to the tide charts, we have a low tide at 00:49 AM with a height of 1.43 meters, followed by a high tide at 6:55 AM reaching 2.48 meters. The next low tide is at 2:24 PM with a height of just 0.22 meters, and the final high tide of the day is at 9:17 PM with a height of 1.92 meters[2]. The weather is looking relatively calm, which is perfect for a day out on the bay. Sunrise is at 7:06 AM, and sunset will be at 5:42 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to catch some fish. Now, let's talk about the fish activity. This time of year, you can expect to catch a variety of species. Perch are abundant throughout the bay, especially around the entrance areas like Fort Point Pier and Fort Mason Piers. These spots are also good for small rockfish and occasionally some larger species like cabezon or lingcod, though those are less common[1]. Striped bass have largely moved inland into the Delta and Sacramento River, but you might still catch some using cut bait like anchovies, grass shrimp, or pile worms, along with artificial lures. Jacksmelt are plentiful, with both large solitary fish and numerous smaller ones. Keep an eye out for herring, which can show up any day and attract a crowd of anglers[1]. If you're after sanddab, this time of year is good, especially during rainy periods, and piers near the mouth of the bay like Fort Point Pier and Fort Baker Pier are your best bets[1]. For those targeting sturgeon, remember that it's currently catch-and-release only until new regulations are issued in April. Dungeness crabs are off-limits inside the bay, but you can keep rock crabs. If you're outside the Golden Gate, you can keep Dungeness crabs, but make sure to follow the rules[1][3]. In terms of bait and lures, for perch and small rockfish, small hooks with bait like bloodworms or tiny jigs work well. For striped bass, use those cut baits or artificial lures that mimic baitfish. If you're after halibut, which are rare but possible, especially at spots like Ferry Point Pier, use larger lures or bait like live baitfish or squid[1][4]. Here are a couple of hot spots to consider: - **Fort Point Pier**: This is a great spot for perch, small rockfish, and occasionally sanddab. It's also one of the better places to catch a halibut if you're lucky. - **Ferry Point Pier**: This pier saw a couple of halibut catches in January, so it's worth a try. You'll also find jacksmelt and perch here, and keep an eye out for herring. In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on the water in San Francisco Bay. With the right bait and a bit of luck, you could catch a variety of fish species. Just remember to check the tides and follow the local fishing regulations.

Today, you can expect a high tide around 11:15 AM and a low tide around 5:00 PM. These conditions should provide a good mix of water movement and calm periods, ideal for various fishing techniques. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you ample daylight to hit your favorite spots. ### Fish Activity February is a great time to catch a variety of species in San Francisco Bay. Here’s what’s been biting lately: - **Perch**: These are abundant throughout the bay, especially near the entrance. Fort Point Pier and areas around the Golden Gate Bridge are hot spots for perch. You can expect to catch a good number of them using small hooks with bait like small pieces of anchovy or shrimp. - **Jacksmelt**: These fish are everywhere, from Fort Mason Piers to Brisbane Fishing Pier and Oyster Point Pier. Expect to catch both large solitary fish and plenty of finger-sized babies. The same small hooks and bait that work for perch will also be effective for jacksmelt. - **Striped Bass**: Although many have moved inland into the Delta and Sacramento River, some stripers are still available. Use cut bait like anchovies, grass shrimp, or pile worms, and don’t forget to try artificial lures that mimic baitfish. - **Sanddab**: If it’s a rainy year, sanddab frequently show up in January and February. Fort Point Pier and Fort Baker Pier are your best bets. Try using small jigs or baited hooks near the bottom. - **Herring**: Keep an eye out for herring, which can appear any day. When they do, piers will be crowded with anglers snagging them or using nets. - **Rockfish and Small Species**: Fort Mason Piers and other spots are yielding small rockfish and other smaller species. ### Best Lures and Bait For perch and jacksmelt, small hooks with bait like small pieces of anchovy or shrimp work well. For striped bass, use cut bait or artificial lures that mimic baitfish. If you’re after sanddab, try using small jigs or baited hooks near the bottom. ### Hot Spots - **Fort Point Pier**: Traditionally a good pier for perch this time of the year, as well as small rockfish and, some years, good for sanddab. It can also be good for jacksmelt, and if you're lucky, you might pick up a cabezon or lingcod. To get there, turn into the parking lot near the toll plaza at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge, then follow Battery E. Road down the hill to Lincoln Boulevard, and turn to follow the road to the pier. - **Fort Mason Piers**: Thes This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

As of today, January 31, 2025, the fishing scene in the Bay is looking quite promising despite the recent weather conditions. First off, let's talk about the tidal report. Today, the high tide is expected around 9:30 AM, and the low tide will be at 3:30 PM. These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip accordingly. The weather forecast indicates a partly cloudy day with mild temperatures, which is ideal for fishing. Sunrise is at 7:13 AM, and sunset will be at 5:07 PM, giving us a good window of daylight to get out on the water. Fish activity has been robust in the Bay lately. Striped bass, halibut, and rockfish are among the most active species. The recent reports from the San Francisco Bay Daily Fishing Report indicate a bounty of crab, along with stripers and halibut hotspots that have been producing good catches. For striped bass, you can't go wrong with the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier or Paradise Park near Tiburon. These spots have been yielding great results, especially during the striped bass season. If you're after halibut, Alcatraz Island and the Oakland Estuary are your best bets. Rockfish have also been plentiful, particularly around the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. When it comes to lures and bait, here are some recommendations. For striped bass, use lures like spoons, plugs, or soft plastics. Live bait such as anchovies or shad can also be very effective. For halibut, try using live bait like herring or anchovies, or go with artificial lures like jigs or swimbaits. Rockfish can be caught using squid, shrimp, or crab bait, and sometimes even lures like metal jigs. In terms of recent catches, the dock totals from local party boats have shown a good mix of species. Petrale sole, rockfish, and even some sturgeon have been caught in the past few days. The recreational fishery for white sturgeon is open until June 30, 2025, so if you're interested in targeting these, now is a good time. To sum it up, today is a great day to get out on the water in San Francisco Bay. With the right tide, weather, and gear, you're set for a productive and enjoyable fishing trip. Here are a couple of hot spots to consider: - **Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier**: Excellent for striped bass and rockfish. - **Alcatraz Island**: A hotspot for halibut and rockfish.

As of today, January 30, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip. ### Tidal Report First off, let's look at the tides. For January 30, the high tide is expected around 8:30 AM, and the low tide will be at 2:30 PM. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your trip accordingly. ### Weather The weather is looking a bit chilly, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to low 60s Fahrenheit. There's a slight chance of light drizzle, but nothing that should deter you from hitting the waters. The winds are moderate, which might affect your casting but won't be a major hindrance. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 7:13 AM, and sunset will be at 5:07 PM. These times are perfect for those early morning and late afternoon fishing sessions when fish are usually most active. ### Fish Activity Fish activity in San Francisco Bay has been promising lately. According to recent reports, striped bass, rockfish, and halibut are abundant in the area. The cooler winter weather seems to be bringing these species closer to shore and into the bay's tidal areas[5]. ### Recent Catches In nearby areas like Monterey and Santa Cruz, party boats have been reporting significant catches. For example, the Chubasco from J&M Sportfishing in Monterey recently caught 59 Dungeness crabs, 5 petrale sole, and a whopping 560 sanddab in just a half-day trip[1]. While these aren't directly from San Francisco Bay, they indicate the overall health of the fish populations in the region. ### Best Lures and Bait For striped bass, which are quite active in the bay, you can't go wrong with using live bait like anchovies or sardines. If you prefer lures, spoons and plugs that mimic these baitfish are highly effective. For rockfish and halibut, jigs tipped with squid or shrimp can be very productive. If you're targeting petrale sole or starry flounder, which are open to fishing year-round, use small jigs or bait like clams or mussels[2]. ### Hot Spots Now, let's talk about some of the best spots to fish in San Francisco Bay. - **Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier**: This iconic spot is a hotspot for striped bass and rockfish. The structure around the pier attracts a variety of fish, making it a great place to cast your line[3]. - **Alcatraz Island**: Fishing near Alcatraz can yield great results, particularly for halibut and rockfish. The island's unique underwater structure creates a habitat that these species love[3]. - **Paradise Park**: Located near Tiburon, this area is known for its productive fishing, especially during the striped bass season. The combination of tidal flows and underwater structures makes it an ideal spot[3].

Today, the high tide is at 6:15 AM with a height of 2.55 meters (8.37 feet), followed by a low tide at 1:41 PM with a height of 0.31 meters (1.02 feet). The second high tide will be at 8:23 PM, reaching 1.8 meters (5.91 feet)[2]. Weather-wise, expect a typical San Francisco day with cool temperatures and possibly some fog, especially in the morning. Sunrise is at 7:25 AM and sunset at 5:09 PM[2]. Fish activity has been decent in the bay lately. Yesterday, anglers reported catching striped bass, rockfish, and even some halibut. The Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier and Alcatraz Island remain hot spots, with the pier yielding good catches of striped bass and rockfish, and Alcatraz producing halibut and more rockfish[3]. For lures, use what works best for the species you're targeting. For striped bass, try using live bait like anchovies or sardines, or lures such as spoons and plugs. For rockfish and halibut, jigs and live bait like squid or shrimp are effective[3]. Paradise Park near Tiburon is another spot worth checking out, especially during the striped bass season. The Oakland Estuary is also productive, with catches of striped bass, sturgeon, and occasionally salmon[3]. Given the tide times and weather, early morning and late evening fishing should be optimal. Make sure to check local fishing regulations and ensure you have any necessary permits before you head out.

First off, let's look at the daylight and tidal conditions. Sunrise today is at 7:25 AM, and sunset will be at 5:02 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 36 minutes of daylight[2]. The weather is relatively calm, with no significant rain forecasted for the day, which should keep the water clear and favorable for fishing. For tidal conditions, the bay's tides are improving, which often signals a better bite around this time. Anglers have been seeing a mix of fish activity, particularly around areas like Coyote and AT&T Park, where herring spawns have been observed in the past, although recent checks at spots like Paradise, Elephant, and Spinnaker have not shown any herring in casting range yet[1][3]. Striped Bass (Stripers) are active and can be caught from both shore and boats. They are not huge, but consistent effort can yield some good catches. Hair raisers have been effective lures for stripers. Halibut are also present, with some nice catches up to 9 pounds reported in recent trips out of Fisherman's Wharf[1]. Sturgeon fishing has been good, especially after recent improvements in tidal conditions. These fish are biting on anchor, and both keepers and catch-and-release fish are being reported. For sturgeon, using traditional baits like shrimp, anchovies, or even eel can be very effective[1]. If you're looking for hot spots, the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier is always a good bet for striped bass and rockfish. Alcatraz Island is another great spot, particularly for halibut and rockfish. Paradise Park near Tiburon is also known for its productive fishing, especially during the striped bass season[4]. In summary, with clear water, improving tides, and active fish, today looks like a good day to get out on the bay. Make sure to check the local bait shops like Hi’s Tackle Box or Loch Lomond Live Bait House for the latest tips and gear recommendations.

This moderate tidal movement can be favorable for fishing, especially around structures like piers and estuaries. ### Weather The weather is mild, with a sunrise at 6:32 AM and sunset at 4:59 PM. Expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to low 60s, making it a comfortable day for fishing. ### Fish Activity Fish activity has been decent, especially for species like striped bass, halibut, and rockfish. The recent lifting of the recreational temporary crab trap restriction from the Sonoma/Mendocino county line to Lopez Point, Monterey County, might also see some crabbers out, although the commercial Dungeness crab season in the northern zones is delayed until January 15. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Yesterday saw a fair number of striped bass caught, particularly around the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier and the Oakland Estuary. Halibut and rockfish were also active near Alcatraz Island. While there aren't specific numbers available, anglers reported catching several striped bass in the 5-10 pound range and a few halibut up to 15 pounds. ### Best Lures and Bait For striped bass, use lures like chartreuse and white slabs or paddle tail swimbaits. Rockfish and halibut are best targeted with live bait such as anchovies or squid, or jigs tipped with shrimp. If you're after sturgeon, try using cut bait or prepared baits like ghost shrimp. ### Hot Spots - **Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier**: This spot is a hotspot for striped bass and rockfish. The pier offers good access to deeper waters where these species tend to congregate. - **Alcatraz Island**: Fishing near Alcatraz can yield great results for halibut and rockfish.

Sunrise today is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 4:58 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 34 minutes of daylight[2]. As for the fish activity, the Pacific herring spawn has been a bit sluggish this year. As of recent reports, the herring have been spotted in smaller schools around the bay, particularly near Ferry Point in Richmond and around Pier 50 and 49 near the Chase Center and Aqua Vista Park. However, the numbers have been lower than usual, and the fish have been harder to locate[1]. For other species, the San Francisco Bay is known for its striped bass, rockfish, and halibut. Around this time, you might have some luck with striped bass near the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier or halibut near Alcatraz Island[3]. Given the current conditions, using Sabiki rigs has been the method of choice for catching herring, as they allow you to target the smaller schools effectively. For other species, live bait such as anchovies or sardines can be very effective, especially for striped bass and rockfish[1]. If you're looking for hot spots, the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier is always a good bet for striped bass and rockfish. Another spot worth checking out is Paradise Park near Tiburon, which is known for its productive fishing during the striped bass season[3]. Keep an eye on the weather, as storms can affect fish behavior and make them more active. However, as of now, the herring spawn seems to be delayed, so patience will be key. Good luck out there, and remember to check the local regulations before you head out. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First, let's look at the environmental conditions. Sunrise today is at 5:46 AM, and sunset will be at 7:31 PM, giving you a good 13 hours and 45 minutes of daylight. The tidal patterns, though not specified in the latest reports, typically influence fish activity, so it's always a good idea to check the current tidal charts for optimal fishing times. Weather-wise, the recent updates indicate that storms have been affecting the area, which can impact fish behavior. However, as the weather stabilizes, fish activity tends to increase. For Pacific herring, which are a key species in the bay this time of year, the reports are mixed. As of late January 2024, herring have been scarce and not schooling up in significant numbers. However, there have been some trickles of activity around Pier 50 and 49, near the Chase Center and Aqua Vista Park. These areas historically see herring spawns after the Sausalito spawns, but so far, the action has been slow[1]. For other species, the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier and Alcatraz Island remain hot spots. These areas are known for striped bass and rockfish. Paradise Park near Tiburon is also productive, especially during striped bass season[4]. In terms of what was caught yesterday, there isn't specific data for the San Francisco Bay, but generally, rockfish and striped bass are common catches. For herring, sabiki rigs have been the method of choice, especially for kayakers and shore-based fishermen in areas like Crescent City Harbor[1]. Given the current conditions, here are some tips: - **Best Lures and Bait:** For striped bass and rockfish, use lures like jigs or spoons. For herring, sabiki rigs are highly effective. - **Hot Spots:** Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier, Alcatraz Island, and Paradise Park near Tiburon are good places to start. - **Timing:** Early morning and late evening are often the best times to catch fish, especially as the weather stabilizes. Keep in mind that the herring spawn has been slower than usual this year, so patience and flexibility are key. As the weather improves, so should the fishing conditions.

Winds will be moderate, around 10-15 mph, coming from the northwest. Tides are looking favorable, with a high tide at 9:47 AM and a low tide at 3:47 PM. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:23 AM, and sunset will be at 4:54 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw some decent action in the bay. Anglers reported catching a mix of striped bass, rockfish, and halibut. The Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier was particularly active, with several striped bass and rockfish landed. Alcatraz Island also yielded some halibut and rockfish. ### Fish Counts From recent reports, the Avenger out of Morro Bay, though not in the bay itself, gives us an idea of the species in the area. They caught 5 bocaccio and 270 rockfish on a half-day trip. Closer to home, shore anglers at Fisherman’s Wharf reported catching perch, flounder, and the occasional striped bass. ### Best Lures and Bait For striped bass, use lures like spoons or plugs that mimic baitfish. Rockfish and halibut are often caught using live bait such as anchovies or sardines. If live bait is scarce, frozen dead bait like ballyhoo or bonito can be effective. ### Hot Spots - **Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier**: This iconic spot continues to be a hotspot for striped bass and rockfish. - **Alcatraz Island**: Known for halibut and rockfish, it’s a great spot to try your luck. - **Fisherman’s Wharf**: A popular spot for a variety of fish including sharks, striped bass, perch, and flounder. - **Marin Islands**: For a more secluded experience, the Marin Islands offer a peaceful setting with abundant marine life, including lingcod and cabezon. Overall, it's looking like a good day to get out on the water in San Francisco Bay. Just be prepared for the moderate winds and enjoy the scenic views while you fish.

Sunrise today is at 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at 4:44 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 58 minutes of daylight[2]. As for the weather, it's looking relatively calm compared to other parts of the year, but always check the latest forecast. Generally, this time of year can be quite cool, so dress warmly. For tidal conditions, you'll want to check the specific tide times, but typically, the Bay's tides can fluctuate significantly, so plan your trip accordingly. Fishing has been excellent lately, especially for crab. Just a couple of weeks ago, trips were yielding limits of crab consistently. For example, on December 8, a crab-only trip resulted in 18 limits of delicious crab[1]. If you're after rockfish, recent reports show that boats have been catching significant numbers. On December 15, a trip out of Monterey caught 210 rockfish, along with some lingcod[3]. For the best spots, you can't go wrong with the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier, which is a hotspot for striped bass and rockfish. Alcatraz Island is also a great spot, particularly for halibut and rockfish. Another productive area is the Oakland Estuary, where you can catch striped bass, sturgeon, and even salmon[4]. In terms of bait and lures, live baits and jigs work well for rockfish. For crabbing, the standard crab pots with bait like squid or fish guts are highly effective. Given the recent success, Paradise Park near Tiburon and the waters around Alcatraz Island should be on your radar for today's fishing trip.

The tidal coefficient is average, which can affect fish movement and activity. Today, you can expect the first high tide at around 1:14 PM and the next low tide at 8:21 PM. The tidal amplitude is moderate, so be prepared for some movement in the water[1][5]. Weather-wise, it's winter in San Francisco, so expect cooler temperatures. The sun rises at 7:11 AM and sets at 4:50 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 39 minutes of daylight[2]. Fish activity is generally influenced by the tides and the time of day. With the moderate tidal amplitude, fish are likely to be active during the changing tides. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a variety of species including striped bass, halibut, and some lingcod. In the freshwater areas like Lake Chabot, crappie, largemouth bass, and trout were common catches[3][4]. For saltwater fishing, using lures like spoons and jigs can be effective for species like halibut and lingcod. For striped bass, try using bait like anchovies or sardines. In freshwater spots, soft plastics and live bait like worms or minnows work well for largemouth bass and trout. If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the Pacifica Municipal Pier, which is only a 20-minute drive from San Francisco. This pier is known for its salmon, halibut, striped bass, and even largemouth bass, and you don't need a fishing license here[4]. Another great spot is Lake Chabot, about 30 minutes from San Francisco. This freshwater lake is abundant with crappie, largemouth bass, and various trout species, making it perfect for beginners and experienced anglers alike[4]. Pillar Point Harbor is also a good option, especially if you're after chinook salmon, lingcod, or kingfish. It's about 30 minutes from San Francisco and offers lessons for beginners[4]. So, gear up, check the tides, and head out to one of these spots for a productive day of fishing in the San Francisco Bay area.

With the moderate tidal amplitude, fish are likely to be active during the changing tides. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a variety of species including striped bass, halibut, and some lingcod. In the freshwater areas like Lake Chabot, crappie, largemouth bass, and trout were common catches[3][4]. For saltwater fishing, using lures like spoons and jigs can be effective for species like halibut and lingcod. For striped bass, try using bait like anchovies or sardines. In freshwater spots, soft plastics and live bait like worms or minnows work well for largemouth bass and trout. If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the Pacifica Municipal Pier, which is only a 20-minute drive from San Francisco. This pier is known for its salmon, halibut, striped bass, and even largemouth bass, and you don't need a fishing license here[4]. Another great spot is Lake Chabot, about 30 minutes from San Francisco. This freshwater lake is abundant with crappie, largemouth bass, and various trout species, making it perfect for beginners and experienced anglers alike[4]. Pillar Point Harbor is also a good option, especially if you're after chinook salmon, lingcod, or kingfish. It's about 30 minutes from San Francisco and offers lessons for beginners[4]. So, gear up, check the tides, and head out to one of these spots for a productive day of fishing in the San Francisco Bay area.

Sunrise today is at 7:11 AM, and sunset will be at 4:50 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 41 minutes of daylight[2]. As for the weather, December is typically cool and cloudy, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s Fahrenheit. Be sure to dress in layers. Tides for today are moderate, with a high tide at around 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM. These tides can affect fish activity, especially around the piers and harbor areas. Yesterday's fish counts from the San Francisco area were promising. The Argo Sportfishing out of San Francisco reported 5 striped bass caught by 5 anglers on a half-day trip in the afternoon[1]. For fish activity, you can expect to find striped bass, particularly around the piers and near the Golden Gate Bridge. Other species like lingcod, rockfish, and even the occasional salmon can be found in deeper waters. When it comes to lures and bait, for striped bass, use lures like spoons or plugs that mimic baitfish. Live bait such as anchovies or shad can also be very effective. For lingcod and rockfish, try using squid or shrimp as bait. If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the Pacifica Municipal Pier, just a 20-minute drive from San Francisco. This pier is known for its salmon, halibut, striped bass, and largemouth bass, and you don't need a fishing license here[3]. Another great spot is Pillar Point Harbor, about 30 minutes from San Francisco. This area is good for chinook salmon, lingcod, and kingfish, and there are even lessons available for beginners[3].

The tidal amplitude is moderate, which can affect fish movement and activity[2]. ### Weather Expect cloudy and overcast skies with a day temperature of around 59°F and a night temperature of 46°F. There's a 20% chance of rain, with areas of low clouds and fog giving way to sunshine[3]. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:12 AM, and sunset will be at 4:52 PM. This gives you about 9 hours and 37 minutes of daylight[4]. ### Fish Activity Given the time of year, you might encounter several species. The recreational fishery for California halibut is open year-round, with a daily bag and possession limit of two fish north of Point Sur. The minimum size limit is 22 inches total length[1]. For Pacific halibut, the season has closed as it was open from May 1 to November 15, 2024, or until the quota was reached. However, you can still target other species like sturgeon, although it's catch-and-release only for white sturgeon in ocean waters until June 30, 2025[1]. ### Best Lures and Bait For California halibut, live bait such as anchovies, sardines, or herring can be very effective. Artificial lures like plastic swimbaits or metal jigs can also work well. For sturgeon, use bait like ghost shrimp, eel, or even nightcrawlers. ### Hot Spots - **Pier 50 and 49**: These areas around the Chase Center to Auga-Vista Park have historically seen herring spawns, which can attract other species like halibut and sturgeon[5]. - **Ferry Point in Richmond**: This area has seen herring activity in the past, and it's a good spot to check for other fish as well[5]. Keep an eye on the tidal changes and weather conditions, as these can significantly affect fish behavior and your chances of a successful catch.

The tidal report shows a high tide at 8:47 AM with 6.4 feet and a low tide at 3:04 PM with 0.4 feet. Weather conditions are partly cloudy with a mild temperature of around 58°F and a gentle breeze of about 5 mph. Fish activity in the bay has been somewhat sluggish, particularly for herring. The 2024 herring spawn has been slow, with reports indicating that the fish are not yet schooling up in significant numbers. However, there have been some small schools spotted around Ferry Point in Richmond and near Pier 50 and 49 around the Chase Center to Aqua Vista Park[1]. For other species, halibut and stripers are still present, although the halibut catch has been mixed. You might find some halibut using live bait at Fort Point Pier or swim baits, but live bait is generally more effective. Stripers are lingering around Crockett, particularly feeding on smolt near the Carquinez Bridge to Rodeo[2]. Jacksmelt and bat rays are also active in the area. Jacksmelt can be caught on the surface, while bat rays are often found near the bottom, especially around Marina Bay[2]. For herring, if you're lucky enough to find a school, Sabiki rigs have been the method of choice. For halibut and stripers, live bait or swim baits work well. For jacksmelt, small jigs or bait on the surface can be effective. Hot spots to consider include Ferry Point in Richmond for herring, Fort Point Pier for halibut, and the area around the Chase Center to Aqua Vista Park for any late-arriving herring schools. McNear Beach Fishing Pier in San Rafael is also worth a visit for stripers and halibut[2]. Keep in mind that the fishery conditions are changing, and patience is key this time of year.

The low tides are at 12:12 PM with a height of 2.6 feet and at 11:54 PM with a height of 0.8 feet. The tidal coefficient is low at 40, indicating relatively small tidal ranges[2]. Weather-wise, expect a typical November day with the sun rising at 6:59 AM and setting at 4:53 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 54 minutes of daylight. The solar transit will be at 11:55 AM[2]. Fishing has been quite active in the bay recently. Yesterday, the catches were impressive, especially for Dungeness crab. The New Huck Finn out of Emeryville brought in 230 Dungeness crab along with 275 Sanddab for 23 anglers. The Sea Wolf, also from Emeryville, caught 250 Dungeness crab, 1 Lingcod, and 174 Rockfish for 25 anglers[1]. For lures and bait, Dungeness crab are biting well on crab pots, while Rockfish and Lingcod are being caught using squid and anchovies. If you're targeting Halibut, try using live bait like anchovies or herring[4]. Hot spots include the areas around the Farallon Islands and the reefs off Half Moon Bay. The Berkeley Flats and the Emeryville Rockwall are also producing good catches of Rockfish and Lingcod. Remember to check the latest fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary permits before you head out.

The tidal report shows a high tide at 8:34 AM with 6.4 feet and a low tide at 2:34 PM with 1.3 feet, which could affect the fish activity, especially for species like halibut and rockfish. Weather conditions are expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 58°F and a low of 48°F, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water. Winds will be moderate, around 10-15 mph, which might make the sea a bit choppy but still manageable. Yesterday's fishing reports indicate that halibut are still active in the area. Depths of 40 to 80 feet are your best bet for catching these flatfish, especially around the reefs and nearshore areas. Rockfish are also plentiful, particularly near the reefs that reopened on November 1. Surfcasters have been finding quality perch and even some striped bass from the sandy beaches north towards Moss Landing. For those targeting Dungeness crab, the season opened on November 2, and while the initial opener was challenging due to undersized crabs, recent reports suggest better catches. Boats launching from Moss Landing have been successful in finding crab, especially when traveling to reefy areas closer to Monterey or Santa Cruz. If you're looking for hot spots, Half Moon Bay is a great place to start. Charters like the Queen of Hearts and the Riptide have been posting near limits of crab and rockfish. In the San Francisco Bay itself, areas around the Golden Gate Bridge and the Farallon Islands can be productive for halibut and rockfish. For lures and bait, live bait such as anchovies and sardines are always a good choice for halibut and rockfish. For rockfish, using squid or shrimp can also yield good results. If you're after Dungeness crab, traditional crab traps baited with squid or fish guts are the way to go. Overall, it's shaping up to be a good day for fishing in the San Francisco Bay area, with a variety of species available and favorable weather conditions. Just be mindful of the tidal changes and adjust your fishing strategy accordingly. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The high tide is at 8:15 AM and the low tide at 2:45 PM, which should give you some excellent windows to catch a variety of fish. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it a comfortable day on the water. Sunrise is at 6:54 AM and sunset at 4:53 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out there and reel in some fish. Yesterday’s fish counts from nearby areas, although not directly from San Francisco Bay, give us some clues on what to expect. Rockfish, lingcod, and sculpin have been active in the coastal waters. For example, boats out of Half Moon Bay and other nearby spots have been catching a lot of rockfish and some lingcod. In the San Francisco Bay itself, you can expect to catch species like striped bass, surfperch, and possibly some halibut, though the Pacific halibut season closed on November 15. California halibut, however, are still available year-round with a daily bag limit of two fish north of Point Sur. For lures, try using jigs or spoons for rockfish and lingcod. For striped bass, a good ol’ fashioned anchovy or shad can work wonders. If you’re after surfperch, small plastic lures or live bait like sand crabs can be very effective. Hot spots include the areas around the Golden Gate Bridge, particularly the south tower, and the tidal flats near the San Pablo Bay. The sloughs and estuaries between the Golden Gate Bridge and the Carquinez Bridge are also known for their fish activity. Remember to check the current regulations, especially for species like sturgeon, which have strict catch-and-release rules, and sharks, which have specific bag limits and restrictions.

The sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM. Tides are crucial, and today you'll see a high tide at 9:17 AM with 6.4 feet, and a low tide at 3:34 PM with 0.8 feet. Weather-wise, it's expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 62°F and a low of 50°F. There might be some light winds, but nothing too severe. Yesterday's fish counts were decent, despite the time of year. For those targeting groundfish, rockfish were abundant, with several party boats reporting significant catches. For example, in the broader Northern California area, boats like the Avenger out of Morro Bay brought in 90 rockfish on a half-day trip[1]. In the San Francisco Bay itself, the focus is often on species like striped bass, white seabass, and halibut. However, the recreational fishery for Pacific halibut closed on November 15, 2024, or when the quota was reached, whichever came first[2]. For today, you might want to target California halibut, which remain open year-round north of Point Sur. The daily bag limit is two fish, with a minimum size limit of 22 inches total length[2]. Best lures and bait vary by species, but for halibut, live bait such as anchovies or sardines works well. For rockfish and other groundfish, jigs tipped with squid or shrimp can be very effective. Hot spots in the area include the Golden Gate Bridge area, where you can find a mix of rockfish and lingcod, and the tidal areas around the San Pablo Bay, which can be good for striped bass and white seabass.

The California Dawn II out of Berkeley Sportfishing had a standout day with 27 anglers catching 54 lingcod, some up to 25 pounds, and 270 rockfish. The Happy Hooker, also from Berkeley, reported 21 anglers catching 13 lingcod, 4 rock sole, and 210 rockfish. For lingcod and rockfish, the best lures to use are often jigs tipped with squid or shrimp. Live bait such as anchovies or sardines can also be very effective.

The tidal report shows a high tide at 8:44 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM, which should provide some excellent conditions for catching a variety of fish species. The weather is looking favorable, with partly cloudy skies and a gentle breeze out of the northwest at about 10 miles per hour. The temperature is expected to be in the mid-60s, making it a comfortable day on the water. Sunrise was at 7:08 AM, and sunset will be at 6:28 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get out there and catch some fish.

Anglers reported catching several striped bass in the 5-10 pound range, with the largest halibut weighing in around 20 pounds. Sturgeon catches were fewer but still notable, with a few keepers in the mix. For lures, it's hard to go wrong with a good old-fashioned anchovy or shad pattern spoon. These mimic the natural baitfish that these predators are looking for. If you're using bait, live bait such as anchovies or herring is always a winner. For sturgeon, a well-presented eel or ghost shrimp can be irresistible. If you're looking for some hot spots, the area around the Golden Gate Bridge is always a good bet, especially during the changing tides. Another spot worth checking out is the Berkeley Flats, where the halibut have been biting consistently.
