SoCal Offshore Fishing Report: Rockfish Limits, Whitefish Bonanza, and More for February 7, 2026
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for SoCal angling around Los Angeles. It's February 7th, 2026, and the winter bite is on fire offshore. Sunrise hits at 6:44 AM, sunset around 5:30 PM per Tide-Forecast.com, giving you a solid 10+ hours of light. Tides today: high at 12:31 AM pushing 4.7 feet, low 7:11 AM at 1.55 feet, high noonish at 3.12 feet, and evening low 6:12 PM at 1.68 feet—perfect for moving water to stir up the bottoms.
Weather's cooperating with mild temps in the 60s, light winds, and water hovering 60-61 degrees from recent Pursuit reports on 976-TUNA.com. Fish are chewing hard: rockfish limits everywhere, whitefish by the hundreds, sculpin sacks, reds, sheephead, lingcod, vermillions, even white seabass shots and a halibut here and there. Yesterday's dock totals on 976-TUNA.com showed 12 boats with 237 anglers hauling 570 whitefish, 400 sculpin, 185 rockfish, plus calicos, sand bass from charters like Amigo (78 rockfish, 2 WSB), Triton (132 rockfish, 28 reds), Victory (500 rockfish, 250 sculpin), Eldorado (262 rockfish), and Pursuit (190 rockfish, 70 reds). Pride even nabbed a seabass, halibuts, lings on their 1.5-day.
Anchovies are the hot bait—Monte Carlo captain Walt swears they turned limits of reds, chuckleheads, and mixed rockfish. Live sardines or squid for bottoms too. Lures? Jigs like Salas or sculpin imitations in natural colors, or drop-shot rigs with plastics—nailin' those rockfish and lings steady.
Hit Santa Barbara Island or Catalina for sacks—Eldorado and Triton crews lit 'em up. Local piers like 22nd Street Landing or Long Beach for sculpin and sheepies in the Sheephead Derby wrapping soon.
Boats are light-loaded—jump on overnights or 3/4-days from San Pedro, Long Beach, Pierpoint.
