Bay Action Heating Up: Stripers Boiling, Halibut Limits Tight This March Morning
Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your bay area fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the foggy shores of San Francisco Bay on this crisp March mornin'. Sunrise hit at 7:26 AM, sunset's around 7:13 PM, givin' us a solid 11-plus hours of daylight to chase the bite.
Tides today per Tide-Forecast.com: High at 3:37 AM pushin' 5.41 feet, low at 10:38 AM droppin' to 0.75 feet—perfect for fishin' the incoming around midday. Then high at 6:03 PM at 3.64 feet, low at 9:58 PM at 3.14 feet. Fish the slacks and rises, especially that afternoon flood tide.
Weather's a bit rowdy—National Weather Service has a Small Craft Advisory up till 3 AM tomorrow, with northwest winds 15-25 knots and choppy bays. Bundle up, check conditions before launchin'.
Action's heatin' up! NorCal Fish Reports shows yesterday's hauls: Right Hook outta Berkeley nabbed 4 sturgeon on a half-day twilight with 3 anglers. Scallywag from Emeryville landed 2 halibut and 1 striper earlier, then 6 stripers on a full-day with 6 folks—Fish Emeryville confirms the stripers are boilin'. Lovely Martha from SF brought in 3 Cal halibut on a full-day charter with 18 anglers. Limits are tight but consistent on halibut and stripers; sturgeon poppin' too.
For lures, go swimbaits like 3-5 inch Keitech or Big Hammer whites and charts in current seams—mimics shad perfect. Jigs such as 1/2-2 oz Cripplers or knife jigs in glow or sardine patterns bounced off bottom. Live bait? Anchovies or herring if you can net 'em (25 lb limit per ODFW regs, schools thick nearby), or ghost shrimp/pile worms on a Carolina rig. Fish Emeryville says their tackle kits got you covered, rods for rent too.
Hot spots: Hit the Emeryville flats near the peninsula for stripers and flatties—deep water close in. Or Berkely's deep channel edges for sturgeon action. Shore? Try Oyster Point or the SF piers on the low tide switch.
Rig tight, stay safe out there—bay don't play.
