  • Summary

  • For those venturing out to fish in the San Francisco Bay today, January 9, 2025, here’s what you need to know:

    First off, let's look at the tides. 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. Good luck on the water
