Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for Pacific Ocean angling off California's coast. It's early morning, tides in LA hittin' low at 3:25 AM with 0.51 feet, high at 9:30 AM pushin' 5.39 feet, then low again 3:47 PM droppin' to -0.19 feet, and evenin' high at 9:58 PM at 5.21 feet—prime for fish chasin' the movin' water, per Tide-Forecast.com. Weather's mild, expect sunny skies with light winds, sunrise around 7 AM, sunset near 7 PM. Fish are active now, schools pushin' inshore.
Recent catches are hot: Dana Wharf boats like Clemente and Sum Fun out of Dana Point landed sand bass, sheephead, calico bass, and sculpin yesterday—50 calicos released on one half-day trip alone, SoCalFishReports.com says. Fisherman's Landing reports Dolphin nailing 35 sand bass and more on PM runs. Yellowtail exploded off Coronado Islands, Mission Belle baggin' 76 yesterday per their YouTube update. Salmon's closed till April 11 south of Pigeon Point, but CDFW forecasts huge comebacks with 400,000 Sacramento River Chinook expected, double last year.
Best lures? Bent-lipped crankbaits like Rapala Super Shad Rap for that subtle wobble on weedlines or edges—killer for bass and yellows. Yo-Zuri Hydro Monster or 3D Inshore Fingerling for saltwater stickbait action. Live bait shines: sardines or anchovies on a dropper loop for calicos and sand bass. Jigs with plastics in shad patterns too.
Hit these hot spots: Dana Point kelp beds for calicos and sheephead, or Coronado Islands for yellowtail frenzy. Get out there safe, check regs.
