Stellar Fishing in the Bay: Rockfish, Crab, and Stripers Biting Strong

# San Francisco Bay Fishing Report – Saturday, November 29, 2025

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

**Tides and Timing**

We've got a high tide at 6:41 AM this morning hitting 5.42 feet, then dropping to a low around 12:51 PM at 1.81 feet. The sun's coming up at 7:05 AM and setting at 4:51 PM, so you've got a tight window for morning action. That early high tide is prime time for striped bass around the Golden Gate and Crissy Field—hit those dawn hours before the tide swings.

**What's Biting**

The fishing's been absolutely stellar the last couple days. Yesterday the Happy Hooker brought in 210 rockfish, three lingcod, and 210 Dungeness crab for 21 anglers—limits across the board. Lovely Martha also crushed it on crab with 40 limits on a dedicated crab trip. Inside the Bay, we're seeing solid striped bass action, especially on moving tides.

**What to Throw**

For striped bass, grab your 3 to 5-inch paddle-tail swimbaits or bucktail jigs and work the current seams. Live or cut anchovy is your money bait right now. If conditions stay calm enough, you can troll herring-pattern plugs for halibut in the central and South Bay. For crab and rockfish, hit the deeper reefs with squid or oily baits.

**Hot Spots**

Target Fort Point and Crissy Field at dawn on that incoming tide. The Embarcadero piers are solid too, especially when the current's moving. Outside the Gate, those deeper water reefs are producing limits of rockfish and crab.
