Friday Bay Action: Halibut and Bass Heating Up with Rising Tides

About this episode

# Artificial Lure's San Francisco Bay Fishing Report

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Friday morning Bay report, and let me tell you—conditions are shaping up nicely for a solid day on the water.

**Tides and Conditions**

We're looking at moderate tidal activity today. According to Tides4Fishing, San Francisco saw sunrise at 6:44 AM with sunset expected around 6:01 PM, giving us a solid 11+ hours of daylight. The tidal coefficient is climbing through the day, starting around 46 this morning but pushing toward 58 by evening—which means better current flow and increased fish activity as we move into afternoon sessions.

**What's Biting**

The word from Fish Emeryville is they've got boats running full schedules with halibut and striped bass leading the charge on half-day trips, plus deep water rockcod and lingcod for full-day adventures. These species are absolutely on the menu right now. Over in the broader region, Sacramento River Fall Chinook numbers are solid following excellent 2025 spawn returns—that's good news for ocean fishing opportunities this season.

**Best Tactics and Lures**

For striped bass, mimic small to medium-sized baitfish with silver-bodied lures and soft plastics. If you're night fishing (and conditions allow), focus on structure like rocky outcrops and submerged timber. Natural baits work too—live crabs and shrimp will get you leopard sharks and other bottom dwellers.

**Prime Spots**

Hit Tilden Regional Park's shoreline, especially the north beach area—it's underexplored and hosts solid bass populations. For something more accessible, Coyote Point Marina offers excellent bay access with reasonable tidal exchange.
