# Pacific Ocean California Fishing Report
Hey anglers, this is your Friday morning fishing update from the California coast, and let me tell you, conditions are shaping up nicely out there.
**Weather and Seas**
We're looking at small craft conditions through late tonight with southerly winds running 5 to 10 knots and seas holding around 11 feet. Not the calmest day, but definitely fishable if you're heading out on a sportfishing vessel. Yesterday we had absolutely gorgeous conditions—flat, calm ocean with barely a breath of wind—so if you missed that, Mother Ocean's giving you another shot today.
**The Bite Report**
Let's talk what's happening. Down south at Point Loma, the yellowtail have been on fire with crews hauling in plenty of keepers, plus solid action on bluefin tuna and yellowfin. San Diego's sportfishing fleet is really producing right now.
Up at Marina del Rey, they're getting hammered with 530 fish across two trips—we're talking sculpin, whitefish, mackerel, and rockfish. The calico bass bite remains steady up and down the coast. Out of Long Beach, crews are crushing it on calico bass with limits showing up regularly, plus good numbers of whitefish and sheephead.
If you're in the Long Beach or Los Angeles area, 22nd Street Landing is your play—the Monte Carlo and Freedom are posting solid numbers on calico, seabass, and bottom species.
**What to Throw**
For lures, soft plastics and realistic swimbaits in natural shad colors are crushing it in the clearer water we've been seeing. Drop-shot rigs are absolutely money right now. If you prefer bait, squid and shrimp on dropper loops are producing excellent results, especially for whitefish and sheephead on the bottom.
**Hot Spots to Check**
Head to **22nd Street Landing in Marina del Rey**—the boats running out there are consistently posting great numbers. Or get down to **Point Loma in San Diego** if you want to target yellowtail and tuna.
