LA Fishing Forecast Jan 12 2025 Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Sand Bass, Sculpin, and Calico Bass
Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
For anglers in the Los Angeles area, today, January 12, 2025, promises to be an interesting day on the water. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
### Tidal Report
The tidal coefficients are average today, with the first high tide at 3:42 AM and the next at 10:57 AM. The low tides are at 10:18 AM and 9:01 PM. These moderate tides suggest stable water conditions, which can be favorable for certain species[3].
### Weather and Daylight
Sunrise was at 6:58 AM, and sunset will be at 5:01 PM, giving you about 10 hours of daylight. This time of year, the sun's position and daylight hours are relatively stable, providing ample time for fishing[2][5].
### Fish Activity and Catches
Looking at yesterday's fish counts from the local party boats, here’s what you might expect:
- The **New Del Mar** out of Marina Del Rey Sportfishing reported 5 Sand Bass and 50 Sculpin on a half-day trip.
- The **Spitfire**, also from Marina Del Rey Sportfishing, caught 6 Sand Bass, 22 Sculpin, and 1 Calico Bass on a three-quarter day trip.
- The **Victory** from Long Beach Sportfishing had 3 Sand Bass, 85 Sculpin, and 3 Blue Perch on a three-quarter day trip[1].
### Best Lures and Bait
For Sand Bass and Sculpin, using small jigs or live bait like anchovies or sardines can be highly effective. For Calico Bass, try using plastic lures or small spoons that mimic baitfish.
### Hot Spots
- **Marina Del Rey**: This area has been producing consistent catches of Sand Bass and Sculpin. The structure around the marina and the nearby kelp beds are good spots to target.
- **Long Beach**: The waters off Long Beach have been yielding a mix of Sand Bass, Sculpin, and other bottom-dwellers. Look for areas with rocky reefs or artificial structures.
Given the tidal and daylight conditions, it's a good idea to fish during the peak tidal movements and around the structure where these species tend to congregate. Keep an eye out for any changes in fish behavior due to the moderate tidal coefficients, and adjust your tactics accordingly. Good luck on the water
