SoCal Christmas Eve Fishing Forecast: Bonito, Rockfish & More
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for SoCal angling. It's Christmas Eve mornin', sunrise at 6:55 AM PST, sunset 4:50 PM per Tide-Forecast.com, givin' us a short window but prime fishin' light. Tides today: high at 00:42 AM (3.68 ft), low 4:50 AM (2.85 ft), high again 10:50 AM (5.19 ft), and evenin' low at 6:21 PM (0.0 ft)—perfect for outgoing currents pullin' baitfish into the wash.
Weather's classic winter LA: mild 60s daytime, light winds early before pickin' up offshore, stay layered. Fish activity's hot off yesterday's 976-TUNA counts—10 boats, 252 anglers boated 650 bonito, 523 rockfish, 262 assorted, showin' rockfish and bonito tearin' it up on half-day runs from local ports.
Shore and pier guys, hit incoming highs with live anchovies or sardines for halibut and calico bass; drop sardine-wrapped jigs or iron like 2-4 oz Salas or chrome Krocodiles for bonito schools bustin' surface. Boats? Best lures are green/yellow yo-yo jigs, daisy chains for bonito chasin', and frozen squid or live sardines on dropper loops for rockfish limits. FishingReminder.com peaks today 2:35-4:35 AM, 9:14-11:14 AM, 2:49-4:49 PM, 8:24-10:24 PM—nail those solunar bites.
Hot spots: Redondo Beach Pier for easy bonito on irons, and White Point/Royal Palms for rockfish off the kelp on outgoing tide. Launch early, bundle up, and merry fishin'!
