San Francisco Bay Fishing Report - January 5th

# San Francisco Bay Fishing Report - January 5th

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Monday morning fishing report for the Bay Area.

Let's talk tides first. According to NOAA Tide Predictions, we're looking at a high tide coming in at 12:08 PM at 6.5 feet, with the next low tide hitting around 6:58 PM at -1.2 feet. Sunrise was at 7:25 AM and sunset comes in at 5:06 PM, so you've got solid daylight for an afternoon session if you can get out there.

The solunar activity is showing high numbers today—we're at an 89 coefficient, which means the fish should be feeding. The water's been clean and conditions are favorable. Recent reports from the North Cal Fish Reports show steelhead activity on the Trinity River is strong, with anglers pulling full limits of Golds, Blues, and Cutbows. Over in the saltwater scene, charter boats out of Marina del Rey and Long Beach have been crushing it with calico bass, whitefish, mackerel, and rockfish. We're talking 50-60 keeper calico per trip and solid bottom fish action.

For tackle, the FlipFlop N' Socks 2-inch Paddle Tail Swim Baits are working great all around the Bay Area right now—versatile for multiple species. Live squid and shrimp on dropper loops are producing excellent results for whitefish and sheephead. Don't sleep on fresh anchovies either.

My top spots for today: Hit the pilings around Fish Emeryville for crab combos and sturgeon action, or head out to the deep channels where the baitfish are schooling tight. The afternoon tide push should get everything moving.

Thanks for tuning in to the report, folks. Don't forget to subscribe for daily updates.
