Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 12, 2025. We've got a high tide at 11:05 AM today, hitting 6.1 feet, with a low of 0.3 feet at 5:29 PM. Sunrise is at 6:24 AM and sunset at 6:15 PM. Weather's looking decent with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-60s.

Folks, the fishing's been heating up lately. We're seeing good numbers of striped bass and halibut in the bay. Last week, several anglers reported catching limits of stripers in the 5-10 pound range, with a few monsters over 20 pounds mixed in. The halibut bite has been steady, with most fish in the 8-15 pound class.

For stripers, live anchovies are still the top bait, but guys throwing swimbaits like the 6-inch Tsunami Swim Shad in chartreuse are also getting bit. For halibut, drift live smelt or anchovies on a Carolina rig, or try slow-trolling a white 7-inch Berkley Gulp Jerk Shad.

Don't forget about the sturgeon. A few lucky anglers have landed some dinosaurs in the 60-inch range using ghost shrimp or eel. Remember, it's catch and release only for sturgeon right now.

As for hot spots, Berkeley Flats has been producing well for both halibut and stripers. The area around Treasure Island is also worth a look. If you're shore fishing, Crissy Field has been giving up some nice stripers during the incoming tide.

For you crabbers out there, the Dungeness season is still going strong. Pots dropped near the Farallon Islands are coming up full.

Remember to check those regulations before you head out, and tight lines to ya!
