The tide is expected to be relatively stable, with a high tide at around 8:30 AM and a low tide at 2:30 PM. The weather forecast indicates partly cloudy skies with mild temperatures, ranging from the mid-50s to the mid-60s Fahrenheit. Sunrise is at 7:08 AM, and sunset will be at 6:24 PM, giving you a full day of fishing.
### Fish Activity and Catches
Yesterday's reports from the Bay Area were promising. The "Happy Hooker" out of Berkeley Sportfishing landed 6 halibut and 24 striped bass on a full-day trip.
The "New Huck Finn" and "Sea Wolf," also from Emeryville, had impressive catches of lingcod and rockfish, with the "New Huck Finn" bringing in 34 lingcod and 170 rockfish, and the "Sea Wolf" catching 44 lingcod and 220 rockfish.
### Best Lures and Bait
For halibut, using live bait such as anchovies or herring is highly effective. For lingcod and rockfish, jigs tipped with squid or shrimp work well. If you're targeting striped bass, try using lures like spoons or plugs that mimic baitfish.
### Hot Spots
One of the best spots in the area is the Horseshoe Kelp near the Golden Gate Bridge, where multiple species congregate. Another hot spot is the Berkeley Flats, known for its halibut and striped bass.
Overall, the conditions are favorable for a productive day of fishing in the San Francisco Bay. Make sure to check the local regulations and enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife while you're out there.
