For November 8, 2024, fishing in the San Francisco Bay is looking promising, especially with the favorable tidal and weather conditions.

### Tidal and Weather Report
Today, the tides are expected to be moderate, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM. The weather is forecasted to be calm with light winds and clear skies, making it an ideal day for fishing. Sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:58 PM.

### Fish Activity
Yesterday's fish counts indicate a strong activity of various species. Dungeness crab were abundant, with boats like the California Dawn II and the Happy Hooker reporting significant catches of up to 240 crabs per trip.

For rockfish and lingcod, the New Sea Angler out of Bodega Bay reported 210 rockfish and 2 lingcod, while the Happy Hooker from Berkeley caught 52 rockfish and 2 lingcod.

Pacific halibut are still in season until November 15, or until the quota is reached, with a daily bag limit of one fish and no minimum size limit. California halibut fishing remains open year-round, with a daily bag limit of two fish north of Point Sur.

### Best Lures and Bait
For rockfish and lingcod, using live bait such as anchovies or sardines is highly effective. Jigs and lures like the P-line Laser Minnow or the Salas 7X jig can also produce good results.

For Dungeness crab, crab pots baited with squid or fish guts are the way to go.

### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots for rockfish and lingcod is the area around the Farallon Islands, where the New Sea Angler has been having success. For Dungeness crab, the waters off Berkeley and Emeryville have been productive, as seen from the catches of the California Dawn II and the New Huck Finn.

If you're targeting Pacific halibut, the areas around the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Pablo Bay have been known to yield good catches.

Overall, it's a great day to get out on the water and enjoy the fishing in the San Francisco Bay.
