San Francisco Bay Fishing Report: Tides, Solunar, and Hotspots for Jacksmelt, Perch, and Stripers

Hey everyone, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Wednesday morning San Francisco Bay fishing report.

Let's start with the tides. We've got high tide coming up at 11:41 AM at just over 5.7 feet—solid action time. Low tide hit this morning around 5:32 AM, and we'll see another low around 5:57 PM. The solunar activity is running at 96, which means "very high." That's exactly what we want to see mid-week.

Weather-wise, sunrise was around 6:55 AM and sunset comes in at 5:53 PM, so you've got a solid eight-hour window to work with if you head out now.

Here's what's been working. On the bait side, live minnows and worms are always reliable in these waters. If you're throwing artificials, downsized casting spoons in silver and gold have been producing. Slender stickbaits and realistic worm soft plastics are solid options too—especially when the bite gets a little finicky.

The species we're targeting right now include jacksmelt, perch, and some decent-sized stripers if you hit it right. The bite's been steady when you position yourself over the right structure, so don't just camp in one spot.

For hot spots, head to North Point Pier 41 if you want easy access and consistent action. If you want to get a little more adventurous, Del Valle Regional Park down south has been a sleeper pick—the Marina Store opens at 7 AM daily if you need to grab tackle or a license.
