Average coefficient of 61 means decent current—fish the incoming around 8 AM and outgoing afternoon for best action. Solunar's average too, but major periods align with those highs.
Weather's classic Bay Area: partly cloudy, temps in the low 60s, light northwest breeze 5-10 knots—perfect for shore or boat without gettin' soaked. Fish activity's pickin' up after a slow week; striper and halibut are keyin' in on the forage push.
Recent counts from NorCalFishReports and StripedBass.net: Yesterday, Lady K out of Emeryville boated 9 halibut and 1 striper on a half-day AM with 8 anglers. Argo outta SF nabbed 4 stripers on PM half-day. Solid limits if you hit 'em right—stripers 20-30 inches, halibut pushin' 15-25 lbs. Numbers ain't huge yet, but quality's there as water warms.
For lures, KastKing AL-TI baitcasters are killin' stripers per its_hueyyyy's Bay test—pair with swimbaits or metal lips like Rat-L-Traps in chrome. Top baits: live anchovies or sardines on a Carolina rig, or pile worms for halibut. Fish slow near bottom on tides.
Hot spots: Oyster Point Pier for shore stripers—cast into the channel. And Paradise Cay off Tiburon for boat halibut drifts; structure's holdin' 'em.
Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines!

My name's Mackenzie and I started to go fund me for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed, we had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with. GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform, trusted by over 200 million people. Start your GoFundMe today at GoFundMe.com. GoFundMe.com. GoFundMe.com.
