Bay Fishing Report: Limit Crab, Dabs, Sculpin in SF Bite

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your San Francisco Bay fishing report for this crisp Saturday morning. Tides4fishing charts show a solid high today at 7:19 AM sunrise with a 1.6 ft low incoming, peaking around 3:24 AM at 5.8 ft, then dropping to a 4.3 ft high at 3:31 PM and 1.4 ft evening low at 9:02 PM—prime moving water with high solunar activity at 70, so fish the changes hard. Sunset's at 5:25 PM, giving you a full daylight window under partly cloudy skies, temps in the mid-50s with light northwest winds per local forecasts.

Bay's been consistent lately—NorCal Fish Reports and Fish Emeryville logs from mid-January highlight strong crab pots pulling limits, sand dabs stacking up in 40-80 feet off the embarcadero, and sculpin hitting steady on the bottom. Spreaker's latest bay report confirms excellent crab, dab, and sculpin bites through January, with some striped bass and halibut showing in the outgoing flows. Limits of 20-50 dabs per rod, crabs boiling over, and sculpin in doubles—perch popping too, though that yellow perch news was from Idaho, not here.

For lures, go Lucky Craft Wander Slim 110 or swimbaits in natural patterns for halibut cruising the flats; spoons and jigs for bass. Best bait? Anchovies or sardines on the rig for dabs and sculpin, herring chunks for stripers, and traps loaded with chicken livers for those monster crabs.

Hit the hot spots: Pier 41 north of the slot for easy access dabs and perch, or Emeryville flats on the outgoing for halibut and bass—launch early!
