SoCal Fishing Report: Tuna, Bass, and Rockfish Dominate the Pacific Coast
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Pacific Coast fishing report. Let's dive into what's happening on the water today.
**Tides and Conditions**
We're looking at excellent tidal windows across Southern California. According to NOAA, the Los Angeles area is seeing a high tide at 4.09 feet this evening, perfect for working the shallows. Over in San Diego, we've got favorable tidal movement that'll push baitfish closer to structure. The water's been clean and warm lately—yesterday the Monte Carlo out of 22nd Street Landing reported gorgeous, beautiful weather with flat, calm ocean conditions.
**Recent Catches**
Let me tell you what's been happening out there. Point Loma just landed 108 yellowtail, 24 bluefin tuna, and 20 whitefish on their recent trip. Down in Long Beach, the Victory had limits of calico bass—49 of them—plus 50 rockfish, 103 blue perch, and 25 whitefish. Pierpoint Landing is absolutely crushing it with 132 bluefin tuna, 188 sand bass, and 19 yellowtail across their fleet. Marina Del Rey reported 530 fish including 218 sculpin, 155 whitefish, and 100 mackerel. The Coral Sea out of Santa Barbara landed 250 rockfish, 104 whitefish, and 10 lingcod.
**What's Biting**
The calico bass are on fire right now—dropper loops with squid and shrimp are producing keeper-sized fish. Bluefin tuna are showing up strong, especially closer to San Diego and Long Beach. Rockfish are abundant everywhere you find structure. Whitefish are steady all along the coast.
**Gear Up**
Bring live ballyhoo combos for tuna and marlin work. For the rockfish, go with small jigging spoons—30-gram micro jigging baits work great at depth. Topwater lures like the Heddon Super Spook are solid for calico and bass. Don't sleep on dropper loops with shrimp or squid for bottom dwellers.
**Hot Spots**
Point Loma is dialed in right now with yellowtail and bluefin holding strong. Long Beach's offshore structure is producing limits of calico bass consistently. If you're looking closer to shore, 22nd Street Landing offers excellent access to calico bass and bottom fish.
