About this listen
What's up, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Pacific coast fishing intel for the week ahead.
**Tides and Conditions**
We're looking at excellent tidal movement along the California coast right now. San Francisco's seeing a very high tidal coefficient at 96, with high tides around 5:7 feet and lows dropping to negative territory. Over at Ocean Beach on the outer coast, conditions are similarly strong with that same 96 coefficient pushing good water movement. If you're heading to Santa Barbara, expect high tides around 5:4 feet mid-week. The sunrise is hitting around 6:55 AM and sunset near 5:53 PM, giving you a solid ten-hour window to get out there.
**Recent Action**
Word from the landings is that bass and bonito are biting solid right now. H&M Landing just reported some great weather and good numbers coming in on their boats. The conditions we're seeing should keep fish active through the next week as these strong tidal swings bring baitfish into the feeding zones.
**Lure Selection**
For artificials, you want to dial in your setup. Keep your main line at 10 to 20 pound braid—it gives you casting distance and that critical feel for topwater work. Run fluorocarbon leaders, especially with suspending plugs, so your lure stays at the right depth. The Heddon Zara Puppy is a killer three-inch baitfish pattern that'll draw strikes from largemouth, smallmouth, and other gamefish when they're feeding on smaller baitfish.
**Hot Spots**
Get down to Ocean Beach on the outer coast or check out the San Francisco bay structure. Both locations are experiencing excellent tidal activity that'll concentrate fish in predictable spots.
Get out there and tight lines! Thanks for tuning in—make sure you subscribe for daily reports. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease.ai.
