  • Thanksgiving Fishing in the SF Bay: Halibut, Rockfish, and Dungeness Crab Galore

    Thanksgiving Fishing in the SF Bay: Halibut, Rockfish, and Dungeness Crab Galore
    Nov 22 2024
    For November 22, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene in the San Francisco Bay area:

    Today, November 22, the sun rises at 6:53 AM and sets at 4:53 PM, giving you a decent window for a full day of fishing. The tidal report shows a high tide at 8:34 AM with 6.4 feet and a low tide at 2:34 PM with 1.3 feet, which could affect the fish activity, especially for species like halibut and rockfish.

    Weather conditions are expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 58°F and a low of 48°F, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water. Winds will be moderate, around 10-15 mph, which might make the sea a bit choppy but still manageable.

    Yesterday's fishing reports indicate that halibut are still active in the area. Depths of 40 to 80 feet are your best bet for catching these flatfish, especially around the reefs and nearshore areas. Rockfish are also plentiful, particularly near the reefs that reopened on November 1. Surfcasters have been finding quality perch and even some striped bass from the sandy beaches north towards Moss Landing.

    For those targeting Dungeness crab, the season opened on November 2, and while the initial opener was challenging due to undersized crabs, recent reports suggest better catches. Boats launching from Moss Landing have been successful in finding crab, especially when traveling to reefy areas closer to Monterey or Santa Cruz.

    If you're looking for hot spots, Half Moon Bay is a great place to start. Charters like the Queen of Hearts and the Riptide have been posting near limits of crab and rockfish. In the San Francisco Bay itself, areas around the Golden Gate Bridge and the Farallon Islands can be productive for halibut and rockfish.

    For lures and bait, live bait such as anchovies and sardines are always a good choice for halibut and rockfish. For rockfish, using squid or shrimp can also yield good results. If you're after Dungeness crab, traditional crab traps baited with squid or fish guts are the way to go.

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a good day for fishing in the San Francisco Bay area, with a variety of species available and favorable weather conditions. Just be mindful of the tidal changes and adjust your fishing strategy accordingly.

  • Fishing the Bay: Tides, Targets, and Tactics for a Successful Day on the Water

    Fishing the Bay: Tides, Targets, and Tactics for a Successful Day on the Water
    Nov 21 2024
    For November 21, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene in the San Francisco Bay area:

    Today, the tide is looking favorable for some good fishing. The high tide is at 8:15 AM and the low tide at 2:45 PM, which should give you some excellent windows to catch a variety of fish. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it a comfortable day on the water.

    Sunrise is at 6:54 AM and sunset at 4:53 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out there and reel in some fish.

    Yesterday’s fish counts from nearby areas, although not directly from San Francisco Bay, give us some clues on what to expect. Rockfish, lingcod, and sculpin have been active in the coastal waters. For example, boats out of Half Moon Bay and other nearby spots have been catching a lot of rockfish and some lingcod.

    In the San Francisco Bay itself, you can expect to catch species like striped bass, surfperch, and possibly some halibut, though the Pacific halibut season closed on November 15. California halibut, however, are still available year-round with a daily bag limit of two fish north of Point Sur.

    For lures, try using jigs or spoons for rockfish and lingcod. For striped bass, a good ol’ fashioned anchovy or shad can work wonders. If you’re after surfperch, small plastic lures or live bait like sand crabs can be very effective.

    Hot spots include the areas around the Golden Gate Bridge, particularly the south tower, and the tidal flats near the San Pablo Bay. The sloughs and estuaries between the Golden Gate Bridge and the Carquinez Bridge are also known for their fish activity.

    Remember to check the current regulations, especially for species like sturgeon, which have strict catch-and-release rules, and sharks, which have specific bag limits and restrictions.

    Get out there and enjoy the day on the water

    The tidal conditions are favorable, with a high tide at around 8:30 AM and a low tide at 2:30 PM. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, making it an ideal day to be out on the water. Sunrise was at 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at 4:55 PM.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some of the best spots to try your luck include the areas around the Golden Gate Bridge, where the tidal currents create ideal conditions for bass and halibut. The South Bay, particularly around the Dumbarton Bridge, has also been producing good results for rockfish and lingcod[2][4].
