Winter Fishing Bonanza: Rockfish, Halibut, and More Biting Strong Around LA

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for SoCal angling action. It's February 2nd, 2026, and we're lovin' this beautiful winter bite around Los Angeles—clear skies, light winds around 5-10 mph from the west, temps in the low 60s daytime. Sunrise hit at 6:49 AM PST, sunset's 6:03 PM, givin' us a solid 11 hours of light. Tides today at Redondo Beach show low at 3:02 AM (0.2 ft), high 9:16 AM (5.8 ft), low 3:31 PM (0.1 ft), and high 9:39 PM (5.2 ft)—perfect for incoming moves on bass and halibut. Water's 60-61 degrees, warmin' up nice. Fish are chewin' steady! 976-Tuna reports the Amigo out of 22nd Street Landing nailed 78 rockfish and 2 white seabass on a 1-day overnight. Triton's 3/4-day from San Pedro boated 132 rockfish, 28 red snapper, 12 whitefish. Victory from Long Beach sacked 250 sculpin and 500 rockfish. Pursuit got 190 rockfish, 70 red snapper, limits on reds and chuckleheads usin' anchovies. Pride scored 1 seabass, 2 halibuts, 7 lingcod, plus rockfish and whitefish. Enterprise limited large rockfish. Marina del Rey boats like New Del Mar grabbed calico bass and sand bass. Rockfish, whitefish, red snapper, sheephead, lingcod, and white seabass are hot—limits comin' easy on deeper structure. Best lures: leadheads with squid or anchovies; drop-shot rigs with sardines. Live anchovies or squid strips for bait are killin' it, especially on the troll or bottom. Hit these hot spots: 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro for overnight rockfish runs, or Long Beach Sportfishing for 3/4-days on sculpin and cods. Water's primed—get out there before the Sheephead Derby ends Monday! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!
