  • Summary

  • As of October 20, 2024, the fishing scene in California's Pacific Ocean is looking promising. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the tides are relatively calm, with a high tide at around 8:30 AM and a low tide at 2:30 PM. The weather is clear with mild temperatures, making it an ideal day for fishing. Sunrise was at 7:04 AM, and sunset is expected at 6:04 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of action across various spots. In the Los Angeles area, boats like the "Pride" out of San Pedro reported a haul of 10 Bluefin Tuna, 1 Halibut, 15 Sheephead, 9 Yellowtail, 1 Lingcod, 210 Whitefish, and 185 Rockfish.

    In San Diego, the "Aztec" from Seaforth Sportfishing had a successful 3.5-day trip, catching 64 Bluefin Tuna, 150 Rockfish, and 126 Vermilion Rockfish.

    ### Types of Fish and Catch Amounts
    Rockfish are abundant, with multiple boats reporting large catches. For example, the "Coral Sea" out of Santa Barbara Landing caught 130 Rockfish, and the "Redondo Special" from Redondo Beach Sportfishing landed 134 Rockfish.

    Bluefin Tuna are also active, particularly in the deeper waters off San Diego. The "Tribute" from Seaforth Sportfishing returned with 31 Bluefin Tuna from a 1.5-day trip.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For Rockfish, using squid or anchovies as bait is highly effective. Jigs and deep-water rockfish lures are also recommended.

    For Bluefin Tuna, trolling with lures that mimic baitfish, such as cedar plugs or metal jigs, can be very successful. Live bait like sardines or mackerel can also attract these tuna.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Outer Banks off Long Beach**: This area has been productive for Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail, and Lingcod. The "Eldorado" from Long Beach Sportfishing had a successful 2.5-day trip here recently.
    - **Deep Waters off San Diego**: The waters around the San Diego area, particularly those targeted by the "Aztec" and "Tribute," are hot spots for Bluefin Tuna and Rockfish.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on the water in California, with a variety of fish species active and favorable weather conditions.
