"California Coastal Fishing Forecast - Salmon, Bass & Yellowtail Action!"

# California Coast Fishing Report - June 1, 2025 Howdy anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report. The sun's already up at 5:43 AM with sunset expected at 8:25 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. Tide-wise, we're looking at a low tide at 2:34 AM measuring 0.07 feet, followed by a high at 9:21 AM hitting 0.26 feet. Later today, expect another low at 3:47 PM and the final high at 9:29 PM around 0.23 feet. The big news this week is that ocean salmon season is finally opening up, but only for two days - mark your calendars for June 7-8. There's a 7,000 Chinook salmon quota for this summer's harvest, and remember that keeping coho salmon remains prohibited in all California ocean fisheries. Bass fishing has been absolutely on fire lately! Reports coming in from the Lovely Martha Sportfishing crew indicate red-hot action, though persistent winds have been affecting some outings. If you're hitting the Southern California coast, you'll find halibut and seabass biting at the islands, with plenty of bass action along the shoreline. For the offshore crowd, yellowtail and tuna are starting to show up. Water temps jumped from 60 to nearly 64 degrees in some areas this past week, which has triggered some red tide conditions around Rocky Point. If you're heading out that way, be prepared to adjust your strategy. For you sturgeon hunters, the recreational fishery remains open through June 30th, so you've still got time to target these prehistoric beasts. Hot spots this week: - Pacific Beach for mixed bag action (check those tides!) - Rocky Point early morning before the red tide sets in - Outer kelp edges for bass and the occasional seabass boil Lure selection has been pretty straightforward - if you're bass fishing inshore, plastic swimbaits in anchovy patterns are working well. For the yellowtail and tuna offshore, heavy iron and surface iron in blue/white or mint have been getting bit. Live bait remains king when available - mackerel for seabass and anchovies for calicos. The bait situation is actually too good in some areas, with "acres of bait" reported around Rocky Point making for tougher fishing conditions. Remember that the recreational abalone fishery remains closed until at least April 2026, and razor clamming in Humboldt and Del Norte counties is still on hold due to domoic acid levels.
