Artificial Lure's Monday LA Report: Sheephead and Sculpin Bite Strong on Solid Tides

# Artificial Lure's LA Fishing Report What's up, folks? Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning breakdown of what's happening on the water around LA. Let's start with the tides. NOAA's got us looking at a high tide at 8:18 AM at 5.28 feet, then a low at 2:44 PM around negative 0.43 feet. That's a solid tidal swing, so you've got good movement happening throughout the day. Perfect timing if you're heading out this morning. Weather-wise, Mission Beach saw pretty decent conditions yesterday with choppy water but smaller waves and a light swell. The current's been a bit swirly close to shore, which usually means fish are moving through. No grass or seaweed cluttering things up either. Now, here's what's been biting. Yesterday's reports from party boats around the basin show solid action. The Victory out of Long Beach landed 60 sheephead and 220 sculpin with 55 anglers. Over at Davey's Locker in Newport, the Freelance crew brought in 163 sculpin and 74 whitefish. San Pedro's been consistent too—the Pursuit scored big with 34 calico bass, 8 sheephead, and 72 blue perch on a full day trip. For lures and bait, you're looking at sculpins and sheephead territory right now. Live mackerel works, but the whitefish bite is telling us smaller profiles are doing well. White or pearl-colored jigs in the 2 to 4-ounce range should connect. Hot spots? Long Beach Sportfishing and 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro are firing. The outside break near Newport's also been solid. Get out there while the tide's working in your favor. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe for daily reports.
