Calico bass, sand bass, and halibut poppin' off piers and jetties—live sardines or anchovies crush 'em, but **artificial lures** like swimbaits and grubs in natural colors are hot too. Leopard sharks and rays mixin' in on bottom rigs with squid or cut mackerel. Limits on perch and croakers from beach casters. **Best lures**: Jerkbaits, Flukes on 1/4oz jigheads, paddle-tail swimbaits. **Top baits**: Live sardines, shrimp, or bloodworms for surfperch. Hit these **hot spots**: Santa Monica Pier for calicos and bass on the tide shift, or Malibu Lagoon jetty for halibut and sharks—park early, beat the crowds. Stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
