Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for all things San Francisco Bay fishing. It's Monday morning, March 23rd, and the bay's lookin' prime with high solunar activity at 71—fish are feedin' strong today per Tides4Fishing charts. Sunrise hit at 7:08 AM, sunset's 7:25 PM, givin' us a solid window. Tides are rockin': high activity with a low at about 10:40 AM droppin' to -0.4 ft, then risin'—fish the incoming for best bites.
Weather's classic bay—layer up with fog burnin' off to mid-60s, light winds from the west. Recent action's hot: Fish Emeryville reports from March 22 had Scallywag pullin' 12 striped bass and 2 halibut for 6 anglers; Lady K got 2 halibut; Oakland Anglers II nabbed 16 stripers and 1 halibut on the 21st, plus 60 Dungeness crab on Playn Hooky. Lovely Martha crushed limits March 19—40 striped bass and 6 halibut for 20 anglers, releasin' 25 more keepers. Sturgeon show's on too, with Right Hook landin' 10 yesterday. Multi-species blowups, even topwater stripers, per local vids.
Stripers and halibut dominatin' catches—numbers are up, quality fish in the 20-30 lb class. Best lures? Swimbaits, jerkbaits, or topwaters for stripers; live herring or anchovies on a Carolina rig for halibut. Bait-wise, pile worms or shrimp for bottom dwellers, but frozen anchovies shine.
Hit these hot spots: Emeryville flats for stripers on the troll, or Paradise Cay near Oakland for halibut drifts. Get your license, rod, and tackle—boats like Scallywag are runnin' today.
