26 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow Bay Area anglers! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 26, 2025.
We've got a low tide of 1.44 feet at 6:30 AM, followed by a high tide of 4.99 feet at 6:29 PM. Sunrise is at 5:42 AM and sunset at 5:53 PM. Weather's looking decent with partly cloudy skies and highs around 62°F, with a light westerly breeze.
Fish activity has been picking up 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.
Recent reports show a mix of species being caught. The Flash II has been landing striped bass, sturgeon, and leopard sharks. Some party boats are reporting decent catches of halibut, striped bass, and even a few white seabass.
For stripers, swimbaits like the Tsunami Swim Shad in pearl white are working well, as are 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.
Bait-wise, fresh herring or large anchovies are your best bet for halibut. For stripers, try using cut bait like anchovies or grass shrimp. If you're after sturgeon, remember it's catch and release only.
Hot spots to check out: the Berkeley Flats for halibut, the Alameda Rock Wall for stripers, and the waters around Treasure Island have been productive lately. McNear Beach Pier in San Rafael has also been seeing some good action.
Remember, no perch may be kept in San Francisco Bay from April 1 to August 1, except for shinerperch. Also, Dungeness crab can't be kept from inside the bay - you've gotta be outside the Golden Gate for those.
Tight lines, everyone! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.

24 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for March 24, 2025. Let's dive right in!
We've got a high tide of 7.05 feet at 6:53 AM and a low tide of 1.48 feet at 2:20 PM. Sunrise was at 7:06 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:26 PM. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with highs around 62°F and a light westerly breeze. Perfect conditions for a day on the water!

Remember, the perch regulations change on April 1st, so get your fill now before the season closes in the bay. Sturgeon fishing is catch-and-release only, but there have been some nice ones hooked recently.
For bait, nothing beats live anchovies or shiner perch if you can get your hands on them. If you're using artificials, try white or chartreuse plastics to mimic the local baitfish.
That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!

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. Tight lines, and I'll catch you on the next report!

Fish activity has been picking up nicely as we head deeper into spring. Striped bass are showing up in good numbers, with several anglers reporting catches in the 5-15 pound range.

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 shore anglers, Crissy Field and Fort Point have been producing some nice catches.
Live bait has been the ticket lately, with anchovies and shiner perch being top choices. If you're using artificials, white or chartreuse have been good colors. For you sturgeon hunters, ghost shrimp and eel are your best bets.
Remember to grab your 2025 fishing license if you haven't already. And don't forget, the salmon season opens on April 1st, so get those rods ready!

Weather-wise, we're in for a partly cloudy day with highs around 62°F and a light westerly breeze. Not too shabby for a spring day on the bay!
Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! Striped bass action has been heating up lately, with several anglers reporting catches in the 5-10 pound range. California halibut are also making a strong showing, especially around Angel Island and Alcatraz. We've even heard whispers of a few early season salmon, though remember the season doesn't officially open for another month.

California halibut action is also improving, especially around Angel Island and Alcatraz. The herring run is winding down, but there are still some schools around, attracting predators.
For stripers, guys are having luck with swimbaits like the Keitech FAT Swing Impact 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.
Recent reports show some nice catches coming from the Berkeley Flats and along the Alameda Rock Wall. A few lucky anglers even landed some early season salmon near the Marin coast, though remember the season doesn't officially open for another couple weeks.
If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the waters around Treasure Island for stripers or the south end of Angel Island for halibut. The Oyster Point area has also been productive lately for a mix of species.
For bait, fresh anchovies or sardines are hard to beat. If you're using artificials, those 4-5 inch swimbaits in white or chartreuse have been working well. Don't be afraid to throw some topwater lures like poppers early in the morning or late evening for some exciting strikes.
Remember to grab your 2025 fishing license if you haven't already. And as always, be safe out there and respect our beautiful bay. Tight lines, everyone!
