LA Fishing Report: Tides, Weather, and Promising Catches for Dec 27, 2024
Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
For those heading out to fish in the Los Angeles area today, December 27, 2024, here’s what you need to know:
### Tidal Report
Today, the first high tide is at 2:43 AM, followed by another at 12:57 PM. The low tides are at 7:47 AM and 8:09 PM. The tidal coefficient is relatively low, indicating smaller tidal ranges and weaker currents[3].
### Weather and Daylight
Sunrise is at 6:57 AM, and sunset will be at 4:51 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 53 minutes of daylight. This time of year, the days are short, but the weather is generally mild, making it a good time to be out on the water[2][5].
### Fish Activity
Yesterday’s fishing reports were promising. The Western Pride, for example, caught 20 Rockfish, 180 Sculpin, and some Red Snapper on their half-day PM trip. The Freelance had a good haul of Rockfish, Whitefish, and Sculpin on their 3/4 day trips[1].
### Types of Fish and Catch Amounts
Rockfish, Sculpin, and Red Snapper are the main catches right now. The Western Pride’s AM half-day trip on the 27th brought in 25 Rockfish, 40 Red Snapper, and 100 Sculpin. The Freelance’s 3/4 day trips have been yielding significant numbers of Rockfish and Whitefish as well[1].
### Best Lures and Bait
For Rockfish and Sculpin, using squid or anchovies as bait is highly effective. Jigs and lures that mimic small fish or squid can also work well. For Red Snapper, try using live or frozen bait like sardines or anchovies[1].
### Hot Spots
The waters around Newport Beach and Long Beach have been productive lately. Look for areas with good structure like reefs or kelp beds, as these tend to attract Rockfish and Sculpin. The Western Pride has had success in these areas, so they might be worth checking out[1].
Overall, it looks like it could be a good day on the water, especially if you target the right spots and use the right bait. Good luck out there
