Bay Area Fishing Report March 2025: Stripers, Halibut, and Early Salmon Bites


Listen Later

Hey there, fellow Bay Area anglers! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 11, 2025.

We've got a high tide at 10:23 AM today, hitting 5.8 feet, with a low of 0.5 feet at 4:47 PM. Sunrise was at 6:25 AM and sunset will be at 7:13 PM. Weather's looking decent - partly cloudy with highs around 62°F and a light westerly breeze.

Fish activity has been picking up lately as we head into spring. Striped bass are starting to show up in good numbers, with several anglers reporting catches in the 5-10 pound range. California halibut action is also improving, especially around Angel Island and Alcatraz. A few lucky folks have even landed some early season salmon, though the season doesn't officially open for another month.

For stripers, guys are having luck with swimbaits like the Tsunami Swim Shad in pearl white, as well as topwater lures early in the morning. Halibut are hitting on live anchovies or swimbaits bounced along the bottom. Don't forget about the perch either - they're biting well on pile worms or small pieces of shrimp.

If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the Berkeley Flats for halibut or the Alameda Rock Wall for stripers. The waters around Treasure Island have also been productive lately.

Remember to grab your 2025 fishing license if you haven't already. Tight lines, everyone!
