# Pacific Coast Fishing Report

Hey there, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Sunday morning fishing update for the California coast.

Out in San Diego waters, things are heating up nicely. Point Loma Sportfishing just wrapped yesterday with the Mission Belle hauling in ten yellowtail, two red rockfish, and a sculpin for their crew. The Daily Double crushed it on their half-day with limits of rockfish—230 fish total for 23 passengers. That's the kind of action you want to see heading into mid-April.

Up around Catalina Island, conditions have been stellar. A recent trip brought in 162 rockfish, three sculpin, two sheephead, a perch, and a calico bass. The offshore bite is definitely on right now.

Weather-wise, expect typical spring conditions—partly cloudy with occasional afternoon showers possible. Sunrise is around 6:29 AM and you'll have good light until sunset at 7:43 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water.

For tackle, focus on live yellowtail and rockfish patterns. Jigging has been productive for the rockfish bite, while trolling works well for the yellowtail. Bring some squid and mackerel for bait options too.

Your hot spots right now are the Coronado Islands off San Diego and Catalina Island. Both locations are producing consistent catches across multiple species. The water clarity is excellent, and the bait presence is strong.

Get out there and tight lines, folks. Thanks for tuning in and make sure you subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
