Bay Stripers Schooling Hot: New Moon Tides and Peak Bite Windows This Monday

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for San Francisco Bay fishing. It's early Monday morning, March 16th, and the Bay's lookin' prime with that new moon pullin' strong tides. High tide hit around 1:10 AM at 6 feet, low at 6:40 AM pushin' 2 feet, then high again at 12:44 PM toppin' 7 feet, and evenin' low at 7:24 PM near zero—perfect for stripers chasin' bait in the shallows, per Fishing Reminder charts.

Weather's mild, partly cloudy with light winds, sunrise at 7:20 AM, sunset 'round 7:25 PM. Bite windows peak major from noon to 2 PM and 11:30 PM to 1:30 AM, minors at dawn and dusk—get out there!

Action's hot on halibut and stripers. NorCal Fish Reports tallies from yesterday: Lovely Martha out of SF landed 2 cal halibut and 8 stripers on a full day with 10 anglers; Emeryville boats like Lady K and Oakland Anglers II nabbed 1 each halibut and striper on half-days. Sportfishing Report echoes it—CodFather in Alameda boated 4 halibut, 4 stripers; Scallywag got 6 stripers. Limits aren't huge yet, but quality fish schoolin' up.

For lures, go swimbaits like 3-inch Keitech in pearl or anchor shrimp imitations—stripers smash 'em on the troll. Berkley Gulp! minnows or jerkbaits in natural hues for halibut. Live bait? Anchovies or sardines on a Carolina rig, or pile worms for bottom huggers. Fish the incoming tide hard.

Hot spots: Coyote Point Marina for easy access and striper boils, or Sierra Point where currents rip and halibut cruise the drop-offs. Launch early, stay safe on the water.
