# San Francisco Bay Fishing Report
Hey folks, it's a beautiful Saturday morning out here on the Bay, and I've got all the intel you need to make today count.
**Tides and Conditions**
We're sitting pretty with some excellent tidal action today. Sunrise hit at 7:14 AM and we've got until 5:33 PM to work. According to the tide charts, we've got a high tide at 9:30 AM at 6.8 feet, followed by a low at 4:31 PM at -1.3 feet. These are solid swings that'll push baitfish and get the stripers and halibut moving. The solunar activity is running high at 84, which means the fish are gonna be aggressive.
**What's Been Biting**
Looking at recent reports from the Nor Cal fleet, the Dungeness crab have been absolutely crushing it around Emeryville—150 crabs on a single boat yesterday. If you're targeting bottom dwellers, sanddab and sand sole are steady producers. Over in Marina del Rey, they've been pulling sculpin, sand bass, and calico bass consistently.
**What to Throw**
For stripers in the Bay proper, grab yourself a white or chartreuse ChatterBait—they'll crush it around pilings and structure. If you're working shallower areas, a 3/4-ounce white bucktail jig does the trick. For bait, live anchovies are your ticket, but if you can't get live, fresh squid works solid for halibut and stripers alike. Don't sleep on crab—hand lines or pots around the deeper channels are producing big numbers.
**Hot Spots**
The Berkeley Pier and Emeryville Marina are firing right now with the tide pushing through. Mission Bay channels are loaded with sand bass and calico action if you want some faster-paced fishing.
