Bay Area Fishing Report - Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Stripers and Halibut

# Artificial Lure's San Francisco Bay Fishing Report - Monday, December 1st

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

We've got some decent tidal action happening today. High tide's coming in at 8 AM around 5.3 feet, followed by a low at 3:02 PM sitting at 1.6 feet. That afternoon low should give us some nice current push through the channels—always good for stripers and halibut action.

**Weather and Light**

Sun's up at around 7:16 AM this morning and sets early at 4:51 PM, so you've got a solid window if you hit the water early. There's a beach hazards statement in effect through tomorrow evening, so be mindful out there.

**What's Biting**

Recent reports from the Happy Hooker and Pacific Dream charter boats show live bait halibut and striped bass trips are still producing solid numbers in the Bay. Crab and rockfish combos are also running strong if you're looking for some variety. The solunar activity is sitting at 69—average conditions, nothing spectacular but fishable.

**Technique Talk**

For stripers, you can't go wrong with live anchovies or herring under a float during these moving tides. Drop a live mackerel or squid if you're targeting halibut near the deeper channels. Jigging shads in chartreuse or pearl work great when the bite gets tough.

**Hot Spots**

Head down to the Berkeley Marina area—those charter operations are running regular trips and the structure near the pilings holds fish all day. Second spot would be anywhere along the shipping channels near the Golden Gate approach. That moving water's pushing bait, and the predators know it.
