Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:47 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Redwood City

Redwood City sits on a productive section of San Francisco Bay where tidal flats, dredged shipping channels, and sheltered marinas combine to create reliable fishing within minutes of downtown. Most local effort focuses on striped bass, California halibut, sharks and rays, with seasonal chances for surfperch and other bay species. Access centers around the Port of Redwood City, public shoreline parks, and nearby beaches along the Peninsula.

Seasonal patterns are key here. Spring through early fall is prime time for California halibut and striped bass, especially on the warmer, cleaner incoming tides. Halibut push up onto shallow flats and channel edges between Redwood City and the San Mateo Bridge, while stripers roam current breaks, rock walls and marina mouths. Summer evenings bring strong shark and bat ray fishing in deeper holes and along channel drop-offs. Winter is slower but still offers action for sharks, rays and the occasional striper or starry flounder, especially during stable weather and moderate tides.

Habitat and key areas include: dredged shipping channels off the Port, mud and sand flats bordering the main channel, rock riprap along the harbor, and the mouths of nearby sloughs. Boats launching from Redwood City Marina can drift for halibut along channel edges, targeting 10–30 feet of water. Shore anglers work piers, rock walls and park shorelines, casting baits to the edge of the main current. Any transition—sand to mud, flat to drop-off, smooth water to rip line—deserves a few extra casts.

Techniques for halibut and stripers revolve around the tides. For halibut, slow-trolling or drifting live bait (anchovies, smelt, small shad) on a three-way rig or sliding sinker setup is a top producer. Keep the weight just heavy enough to tick bottom in the current and move at a slow crawl, following the contour of the channel edge. Artificial lure anglers score with swimbaits and soft plastics on 1/2–1 oz jigheads, bounced along the bottom during a moderate incoming tide. Stripers hit the same offerings, especially white or baitfish-pattern plastics, bucktail jigs, and minnow-style plugs worked near structure and current seams.

Shark and bat ray fishing is a staple after-work and nighttime option from both boats and shore. Focus on deeper bends in the channel and soft-bottom areas adjacent to drop-offs. Use a fish-finder or sliding sinker rig with 30–40 lb leader, size 4/0–7/0 hooks, and oily baits like mackerel, squid or anchovy chunks. Cast out, tighten up, and let the bait soak; many bites start as a slow, steady pull rather than a sharp tap. A long-handled net and pliers make landing and unhooking easier on piers and rock walls.

Shoreline and light-tackle options include jacksmelt, surfperch and smaller bottom species. For smelt and perch, use lightweight spinning gear with hi-low rigs, size 6–10 hooks, and small pieces of shrimp, squid or pile worms. Cast slightly up-current and let rigs settle, keeping a small bend in the rod tip to detect light bites. When winds are down and water is clearer, small metal spoons or grubs produce surfperch along nearby beaches on the Peninsula, especially around troughs and cuts in the surf zone.

Success around Redwood City hinges on reading the tides and current. Plan trips around moderate rising or falling tides rather than extreme swings, watch for baitfish dimpling on the surface or showing on a fishfinder, and adjust weight so your rig stays near bottom without constantly snagging. By pairing the right technique with the day’s tide and wind, this mid-bay hub can deliver consistent, close-to-home fishing for a wide range of species.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Redwood City area

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 1 beaches and bays in this area.

Bay Slough - 7.09026145438km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 5 main harbours in this area.

Docktown Marina - 1.63418703109km, Redwood Marina - 1.88196896392km, Petes Harbor - 2.84546404694km, Port of Redwood City - 3.96508443059km, Westpoint Harbor - 4.82161411957km
