  • Chilly Winter Fishing in San Francisco Bay: Sturgeon, Stripers, and More!

    Chilly Winter Fishing in San Francisco Bay: Sturgeon, Stripers, and More!
    Jan 17 2025
    As of January 17, 2025, the fishing scene in San Francisco Bay is quite active despite the chilly winter conditions. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    Today, the sunrise is at 7:23 AM, and the sunset will be at 5:16 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 47 minutes of daylight[2].
    The weather is expected to be cool, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to low 50s, and there might be some cloud cover. The tidal conditions are favorable, with the tide rising until around 10 AM and then falling for the rest of the day.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw some decent action, particularly for sturgeon and striped bass. Inside the Bay, sturgeon were active around Dumbarton on eel and roe, and some fish were spotted in the shallows up around Sonoma Creek[1].
    Striped bass were also showing around the East Bay shore, and perch fishing was decent as well.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For sturgeon, using eel and roe is highly recommended. For striped bass, try using lures like spoons or bait such as anchovies or shad. If you're targeting rockfish or halibut, the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier and Alcatraz Island are good spots, and you can use lures like jigs or bait such as squid or shrimp[4].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier**: This is a hotspot for striped bass and rockfish. The iconic landmark offers great views and even better fishing.
    - **Oakland Estuary**: This area is home to a variety of fish species, including striped bass, sturgeon, and salmon. It's a good spot to try your luck with different types of bait and lures.
    - **Paradise Park near Tiburon**: Known for its productive fishing, especially during the striped bass season.

    ### Additional Tips
    Rockfish season is currently closed until further notice, so focus on other species like sturgeon, striped bass, and perch[3].
    Make sure to check the current regulations for any specific restrictions or bag limits before you head out.

    Overall, it's a good day to get out on the water in San Francisco Bay, with several species active and favorable conditions. Just dress warmly and be prepared for the cool winter weather.

    San Francisco Bay Fishing Forecast: Stripers, Rockfish, and Halibut Abound Amidst Crab Season Changes
    Jan 12 2025
    As of January 12, 2025, the fishing scene in San Francisco Bay is shaping up to be quite interesting, especially with the recent developments in the Dungeness crab season.

    ### Tidal Report
    Today, the tides in San Francisco Bay are as follows: high tide at 9:44 AM with a height of 6.4 feet, and low tide at 3:34 PM with a height of 1.3 feet. These moderate tides should provide a good balance for both shore and boat fishing.

    ### Weather
    The weather is mild, with a light breeze out of the southeast at about 5 mph. Skies are partly cloudy, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to low 60s, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today was at 7:25 AM, and sunset will be at 5:09 PM, giving you a full day of daylight to enjoy your fishing trip.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of activity, particularly around the Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier and Alcatraz Island. Anglers reported catching striped bass, rockfish, and even some halibut. The striped bass were active in the early morning and late afternoon, while the rockfish were more consistent throughout the day.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Several anglers reported catching between 2 to 5 striped bass each, with the largest catch being around 10 pounds. Rockfish were plentiful, with some boats bringing in up to 10 fish per trip. Halibut catches were less frequent but still rewarding, with a few anglers landing fish in the 5-7 pound range.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, using live bait such as anchovies or shad has been highly effective. Lures like spoons and jigs also worked well, especially in the deeper waters near the Golden Gate Bridge. For rockfish, squid and shrimp have been the go-to baits, while halibut have been biting on live bait and plastic lures that mimic baitfish.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Golden Gate Bridge Fishing Pier**: This spot continues to be a hotspot for striped bass and rockfish. The structure of the pier and the surrounding waters create an ideal environment for these species.
    - **Alcatraz Island**: Fishing near Alcatraz has yielded great results for halibut and rockfish. The island's unique underwater terrain attracts a variety of fish.

    ### Additional Notes
    Keep in mind that the commercial Dungeness crab season has recently opened in central California with a 50% trap reduction to mitigate whale entanglements. However, this does not directly impact recreational fishing in the bay. Always ensure you are compliant with local fishing regulations and respect any closed areas or species restrictions.

    Enjoy your day out on the water, and tight lines
