Tides for halibut fishing

What’s the best tides and conditions for halibut fishing? High tide low tide slack tide specifically in sf bay?

"Timing can be critical. Stay away from the big minus low tides, like the minus 1.9 that arrived during the first week of May. The reason minus tides hurt halibut fishing is that the water gets muddy and it is difficult to get the right drift.
The ideal tide for halibut is where there is a 3-to-4.5-foot difference between two tides. A good example is Saturday. A low tide of 0.0 feet at 3 a.m. is followed by a high tide of 4.0 feet at 10:03 a.m. After that, a low tide of 1.8 feet arrives at 2:45 p.m. This means that in the morning, you will have four feet of moving water, and in the early afternoon you will have about two feet of moving water. So the prime fishing period for halibut next Saturday will be from 8 a.m. to noon."

Thank you very interesting read

the smaller the better. this week has some of the best tides of the year

low coefficient is best because less water movement means clearer water. Halibuts are mainly sight feeders and will have a better chance to see your offering. That said, I have the best luck right before peak high tide in sf bay.

Wow great discussion in that article and now it seems like a no brainer.. so other than clams and intertidal foraging, is there anything that would be really good to fish during these strong tides?

Sturgeon feed best at the bottom of a king tide.  It’s not sturgeon season but get that anchor system ready, it’s right around the corner.   

stripers love that strong outgoing tide.
I've caught plenty of big perch on the incoming. 
rockfish dont seem to care at all.
