As of October 2, 2024, the fishing scene in the San Francisco Bay is looking promising. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Tidal Report
Today's tidal cycle starts with a low tide at 5:15 AM and a high tide at 11:15 AM, followed by another low tide at 5:30 PM and a high tide at 11:30 PM. These tidal shifts can bring in a variety of fish, especially around the tidal areas and structure.
### Weather
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it ideal for fishing. Temperatures will range from the mid-50s to the mid-60s, so dress in layers.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset is at 6:34 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday was a great day for fishing, with several boats reporting limits of bass and halibut. The bass fishing has been particularly strong, with multiple limits caught in the past few days. Halibut are also active, especially around the East Bay areas such as the Alameda Rockwall and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
### Types of Fish Caught
Yesterday saw a haul of 13 limits of bass (26 fish) and 18 halibut. Additionally, there were reports of leopard sharks, jacksmelt, and even some stripers lingering in the area.
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, live bait such as anchovies or sardines is highly effective. Halibut are best caught using live bait or swim baits. If you're targeting leopard sharks, use bait like squid or fish guts. For stripers, anchovies or shad can work well.
### Hot Spots
- **Fort Point Pier**: This pier is known for its halibut and bass fishing. Live bait from Fisherman’s Wharf can increase your chances.
- **Pier 7**: Located near the Ferry Building, this pier is good for stripers, halibut, and leopard sharks, especially if anchovies are present.
- **McNear Beach Fishing Pier (San Rafael)**: This spot offers a mix of stripers, halibut, jacksmelt, and occasionally sturgeon.
### Additional Notes
The white sturgeon season opened on October 1, but it is catch-and-release only. Ensure you follow the guidelines for catch-and-release fishing to help conserve this species.
With the right bait and knowledge of the tides, you should have a productive day fishing in the San Francisco Bay. Good luck
