SoCal March Fishing Report: Whitefish, Sculpin & Yellowtail Action Heating Up

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for SoCal fishing action. It's early morning off the LA coast, tides kicking off with high at 12:49 AM hitting 4.6 feet, dropping to low around 8:39 AM at 1.1 feet, then another high at 3:26 PM to 2.4 feet and low at 5:27 PM near 2.4 feet—per Tide-Forecast.com. Sunrise was about 6:10 AM PDT, sunset around 6:00 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of prime light. Weather's classic LA March: mild 60s, light onshore breeze, mostly sunny—perfect for getting lines wet. Dock totals are hot right now. 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro crushed it with 353 whitefish, 76 sheephead, 71 blue perch, 65 sculpin, plus 10 calico bass, 3 yellowtail, and a couple sand bass on 76 anglers over three boats. Redondo Beach Sportfishing tallied 221 whitefish, 26 sculpin, 15 sheephead, 4 sand bass from 35 folks. Long Beach brought 245 sculpin, 73 whitefish, 47 sheephead. Marina del Rey went nuts with 640 sculpin, 225 whitefish on 154 anglers. Fish are chewing steady—whitefish, sculpin, sheephead dominating, some sand bass, calico, and yellowtail mixing in. Activity peaks on the incoming tide and evening high. For lures, hammer 'em with **jigs** like 2-4 oz leadheads tipped with squid or mussels—whitefish and sculpin love 'em. Drop-shot rigs with 1/2 oz weights and size 10 hooks work killer for perch and bass. Best bait? Fresh squid strips or mussels hands down; bloodworms if you can score 'em for sheephead. Live anchovies if the bait guy's got 'em for yellowtail chasers. Hit these hot spots: **22nd Street Landing** for limits on whitefish and perch, or **Redondo piers** for easy shore sculpin action. Launch early, fish the kelp edges. Thanks for tuning in, folks—subscribe for daily updates! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
