SoCal Coastal Fishing Update: Rockfish Bonanzas & Bonito Blitzes
from Pacific Ocean, California Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI
# Los Angeles Coastal Fishing Report Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning breakdown of what's happening on the water around Southern California. Let's talk tides first. We're sitting on a solid tide swing this morning. High tide hit early at 4:34 AM, and we've got a low tide coming through at 10:49 AM. If you're planning to head out, that window between now and mid-morning is prime time before things flatten out. Sunrise was around 7:21 this morning, and we're looking at a sunset around 4:50 PM, so make those hours count. Daylight's thin this time of year, so get on the water early. Now for the action—rockfish have been absolutely stellar across the region. Point Loma Sportfishing is running their Daily Double AM trips targeting rockfish at 400 to 600 feet, and they're listing full boats. Deep-water rigs with those 16-ounce sinkers they recommend are your ticket. Meanwhile, down in San Diego, bonito have been on fire. Recent reports show limits of beautiful bonito mixed with sheephead and whitefish across multiple half-day and three-quarter day trips. Stardust Sportfishing just wrapped a 3/4-day with 230 whitefish, 173 rockfish, 9 lingcod, and even a sheephead. For lures, live bait and jigs have been producing the best results on bonito. If you're going after rockfish in deeper water, soft plastics like curly tail grubs are working well. Bring both deep-water setups and a lighter rod—you never know when a bonito bite might present itself. Hot spots to hit: Point Loma waters are consistently delivering rockfish, and if bonito are still in a cooperative mood, you've got a shot at limits. Down south in San Diego, the offshore structure around Dana Point and Oceanside has been putting fish in the box. Thanks for tuning in to your local waters report. Don't forget to subscribe for daily updates on what's biting and where. This has been a Quiet Please production—for more, check out quietplease.ai.
