  • San Francisco Bay Fishing Report: Halibut, Stripers, and Offshore Action

    San Francisco Bay Fishing Report: Halibut, Stripers, and Offshore Action
    May 23 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for Friday, May 23, 2025.

    We’ve got some classic late spring Bay weather today—cool in the morning with a steady, stiff wind that’s been hanging around most of May. Expect highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, with lows dipping into the low 50s. Patchy fog should burn off by mid-morning, but the wind is sticking around, making things a little choppy out there. Sunrise was at 5:53am and sunset is slated for 8:20pm, giving you a generous window to fish.

    Tides are working in our favor for the morning bite, with a medium incoming tide peaking late morning before swinging back out in the afternoon. That should push some fresh water and bait into the shallows and get the predators moving.

    Fish activity has been solid, especially for California halibut and striped bass. The latest party boat counts from yesterday are promising: the Gatherer II out of Berkeley saw 10 halibut and 4 stripers for 5 anglers, while the Pacific Pearl out of Emeryville reported 16 halibut and 6 stripers for 16 anglers. The Lovely Martha from San Francisco itself brought in 8 halibut and 2 stripers for 4 anglers on a half-day local run. Out at Half Moon Bay the rockfish bite is strong, with limits for all anglers aboard the Riptide[3].

    The halibut action remains decent, about a fish per person is the norm, and some boats are doing even better when the wind lays down. Striped bass are turning up both as a bonus and a target, especially near the flats and channels around Red Rock and the Berkeley Flats[2][5]. Lingcod and rockfish are solid up the coast towards Bodega, but winds have made offshore trips tough lately[2].

    For best results, drift live anchovies or herring on a halibut rig, or try bouncing swimbaits and artificial lures like chartreuse or white paddletails along the bottom. For stripers, white hair jigs, topwater poppers early, and cut anchovy baits are producing. If you’re after rockfish or lingcod and the weather lets you out, shrimp flies or small metal jigs tipped with squid are the way to go.

    Hot spots this week include the Berkeley Flats for halibut and stripers and the area around Red Rock for a mixed bag. If you can slip out to the Marin Islands or the Emeryville Channel during that incoming tide, you’ve got a good shot at landing a few nice fish.

    That’s your Friday report from your local source, Artificial Lure—tight lines and be safe out there!

  • 'Springtime Splendor: Halibut, Bass, and Rockfish Abound in the San Francisco Bay'

    'Springtime Splendor: Halibut, Bass, and Rockfish Abound in the San Francisco Bay'
    May 21 2025
    Artificial Lure reporting from the San Francisco Bay, and today is a prime day to be out on the water. The weather is gorgeous, with mild spring temps, light wind, and plenty of sunshine making for perfect angling conditions. Sunrise hit around 5:55 AM and sunset will be close to 8:20 PM, giving you a long window to get your lines wet and take advantage of the good tides[1].

    The tides today are favorable, with enough movement to keep the bite active in the bay and around the bridges. Recent fishing activity has been strong, especially for halibut. Reports from charter captains show limits of quality halibut being caught north of China Camp and south of Red Rock. Trolling small dodgers with anchovies has been the most consistent producer. Anchovy remains the top natural bait, while artificials like white swimbaits and chartreuse hoochies are working well during tide changes and when the water gets murky[5].

    Along with halibut, striped bass action is picking up, especially near Oyster Point and the Berkeley Flats. Look for birds working bait balls for a clue to active fish. Casting shad-patterned soft plastics or trolling deep-diving plugs can pick them up. Early mornings and late afternoons have been best for bass.

    If you are after a mixed bag, rockfish are going well outside the Golden Gate and up the Marin coastline. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reminds all anglers to check for open seasons and regulations before targeting salmon, as the 2025 ocean salmon season details are being set this month[4].

    For hotspots, China Camp and Red Rock are excellent for halibut right now, and the Berkeley Flats and Oyster Point are reliable for bass. Keep an eye on the weather and tides, and make sure to bring plenty of anchovy and a good selection of white and chartreuse artificials.

    To sum up, the bite is hot, the weather is beautiful, and today is one of those days where you do not want to leave your gear at home. Good luck out there, and tight lines from Artificial Lure[1][4][5].

  • Stripers and Halibut Hitting Hard in the Bay - Artificial Lure's SF Fishing Report

    Stripers and Halibut Hitting Hard in the Bay - Artificial Lure's SF Fishing Report
    May 19 2025
    This is Artificial Lure, your local San Francisco Bay fishing expert, checking in with today’s report for Monday, May 19, 2025.

    We’re coming off a lively weekend with strong tides moving through the Bay. Early morning saw a mild northwest wind, with air temps in the low 60s before warming up by midday. Skies started off overcast but cleared nicely. Sunrise hit at 5:56 am and sunset will be at 8:17 pm, leaving plenty of daylight for anglers to work the tides.

    Fish activity around the Bay this past weekend was buzzing, especially with the striped bass and California halibut bite. Party boat reports from Berkeley and Emeryville were impressive. The California Dawn II out of Berkeley tallied up 40 striped bass (some reaching an impressive 36 pounds) plus 11 halibut up to 15 pounds for its 20 anglers. The California Dawn had 15 halibut and 3 good-sized stripers for 16 anglers, while the Pacific Dream landed 15 stripers and 12 halibut for a dozen anglers. Over in Emeryville, the New Huck Finn saw 30 striped bass and a halibut for 22 anglers. Even the half-day trips produced, with the Bass Tub in San Francisco notching 24 striped bass for 12 anglers. The C Gull II hauled in 37 stripers and 4 halibut with 19 folks on board[1][2][3].

    Most of the action has been concentrated on the flats and channel edges from the Berkeley Flats out toward the Alcatraz and Treasure Island areas. Paradise Park shoreline is also producing, especially for early risers. Hot spots are the deeper drop-offs near Angel Island and the Richmond Breakwater.

    For lures and bait, you really can’t go wrong right now with live anchovies or shiners, particularly for halibut. Drifting with herring, sardine chunks, or using a trap rig tipped with squid is also effective on the flats. Striped bass are smashing at white or chartreuse swimbaits, hair jigs, and live anchovies. Trolling broken-back Rapalas or drifting with cut anchovy has put plenty of keepers in the box lately.

    If you’re looking to fill a limit or just enjoy some steady action, the top picks today are the Berkeley Flats for a shot at a mixed bag of stripers and halibut, or work the waters south of Treasure Island where big stripers are lurking. The wind this afternoon may kick up a bit, so plan your trips accordingly.

    That’s today’s report from Artificial Lure: get on the water early, keep your baits moving, and tight lines!
