Saturday Bay Fishing: Stripers and Sharks on the Bite

# San Francisco Bay Fishing Report - Artificial LureHey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning Bay fishing update.We're looking at a decent day out on the water. High tide's hitting around 10 AM, with a low following at 4 PM. That's prime time for striped bass and leopard sharks in the deeper channels. Water temp's sitting around 54 degrees—still chilly, but the fish are active.Weather-wise, expect mostly cloudy skies with light winds from the northwest, around 8-12 knots. Perfect conditions for getting out there without fighting the elements. Sunrise was just before 6:30 this morning, and you've got until about 8:45 PM tonight.The bite's been solid lately. Local reports show stripers hitting consistently in the 18-24 inch range, with some quality leopard sharks running 4-6 pounds. Perch have been coming through in decent numbers too. Recent catches include some nice sturgeon action deeper in the bay, though those require patience.For lures, I'm throwing live anchovies and shiners—can't beat 'em for stripers. If you're going artificial, try white swim baits or shad-pattern plugs. For leopard sharks, cut mackerel or squid gets the job done. Perch anglers should work small soft plastics or live ghost shrimp.Two spots I'm eyeing: the Dumbarton Bridge pilings—classic striper territory with good current flow during the tide change. Also hit up the Berkeley Pier if you want easier access and consistent perch action.Thanks for tuning in, and please subscribe for daily reports.
