Perfect Fishing Day Around LA - Calicos, Bass, Sculpin, Perch Bonanza Jan 7, 2026
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for all things fishing around Los Angeles. It's Wednesday, January 7th, 2026, and we're lookin' at a prime day on the water. Sunrise hits at 6:58 AM, sunset at 5:00 PM, givin' you a solid 10 hours of light. Tides from Tide-Forecast.com show high at 12:24 AM (4.4 ft), low at 5:38 AM (2.12 ft), high again at 11:27 AM (5.1 ft), and low at 6:23 PM (-0.03 ft)—perfect for workin' the incoming on that afternoon high.
Weather's cooperatin' big time: calm winds, flat ocean, water temp hoverin' around 67 degrees like 976-TUNA reports from recent trips. Fish are fired up! Yesterday's counts from Sportfishing Report and 976-TUNA are lit—Victory out of Long Beach landed limits of sculpin, 49 calico bass, 103 blue perch, 25 whitefish, 8 sheephead, plus rockfish and mackerel with 0 anglers on a 3/4-day? Nah, that's boat limits, action non-stop. Marina del Rey Sportfishing had 103 anglers pull 530 fish: 218 sculpin, 155 whitefish, 100 mackerel, 30 rockfish, 15 calico bass, 9 sand bass, 3 sheephead. Pursuit and Monte Carlo from 22nd Street hittin' calico bass (near 60 keepers), bonito, big sheephead, whitefish on squid/shrimp dropper loops. Surface bite's hot too—small sliders, plastics, A-rigs, flyline bait for bass near the top. Bottom guys crushin' with squid pieces. Even some yellowtail, barracuda, halibut showin' in the mix.
Best lures? Dropper loops with squid or shrimp for bottom dwellers like sculpin, whitefish, sheephead. For surface calicos and bass, small sliders and plastics. Live bait if you got it—mackerel or sardines on flyline. Sand bass and perch goin' nuts on anything shiny.
Hot spots: Hit Long Beach piers or Victory runs for sculpin/perch limits. Marina del Rey or 22nd Street Landing for calico bass and mixed bags—clean warm water pushin' in. Pierpoint Landing's sand bass bonanza too.
Get out there before it flips—fishin' don't wait!
