  • California Coast Fishing Report: Tuna, Halibut, and More for the Weekend Ahead

    California Coast Fishing Report: Tuna, Halibut, and More for the Weekend Ahead
    Oct 11 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Saturday, October 11th, 2025 fishing report for California’s Pacific Coast. The weather’s mild up and down the California coastline this morning. According to Pacific Text Briefing Package, winds are moderate, so expect a gentle chop but nothing fierce for those heading offshore. Sunrise hit at 7:11am, and sunset’ll come at 6:33pm. Tides are running low at 2:03am, cresting to a high at 7:23am—perfect early window for working the kelp beds and rocky points. A slack low follows at 1:36pm before another high at 8:36pm, so plan your bite windows accordingly. These are modest tides by fall standards but still enough current to stir up hungry predators. Offshore, bluefin tuna’s still the headline in Southern California waters. Seaforth Sportfishing shows solid recent scores—the Tribute had 145 yellowtail, 8 dorado, 6 bluefin, and 2 yellowfin just a few days ago. The New Lo-An reported 71 bluefin with some yellowfin as well. Boats working further out—think 60–150 nm from shore—are regularly finding sizeable bluefin, sometimes pushing triple digits on the scales with day limits not uncommon. Most charters are running south of San Diego, toward the outer banks. For bait and lures, launching in San Diego, the hot ticket for tuna right now is the trusty Flat Fall jig and slow-pitch metals—drop them deep during midday slack and work them up fast. When yellowtail are around, go with surface irons or a live sardine. Dorado and bonito are still smacking trolled Rapalas and cedar plugs. If heading out yourself, visit local tackle shops—Pacific Angler says Mini-Gs, Crocs, and Rooster Tails are essential for surf and nearshore, especially if you want calico bass and bonito. Rockfish are reliable in deeper zones. Fisherman’s Landing reported great mixed bags recently: in one PM trip, 21 rockfish, 10 sheephead, 4 calico bass, 2 cabezon, and some sculpin and sand bass. Cut squid, anchovy, and shrimp flies rigged with a heavy weight lets you hit the magic zone below 300 feet. Lingcod’s still on tap with over 900 landed this season. Sheephead and calicos are taking shrimp bits near the bottom and plastics on the surface. Up in NorCal, Nor Cal Fish Reports says shad schools have been thick between 15–40 feet. Bass are stacked in the same areas, so drop shot rigs and shad imitations are putting fish in the boat. Halibut action’s solid—limits are more common, and some jumbo specimens have come in the past week. For the surf, low tide around mid-afternoon means digging clams or sand crabs if you want a chance at barred sand bass. Early birds using Carolina rigs with bloodworms or gulp sandworms before the sun gets high are picking up perch and juvenile halibut. Hot spots this weekend: - La Jolla kelp beds: mixed calicos, sheephead, and yellowtail on live bait and plastics. - Coronado Islands offshore: bluefin and yellowtail on jigs and sardines. - Monterey Bay: halibut and rockfish close to the harbor on squid strips. - Pacifica Pier: This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

  • Kickoff of White Sturgeon Season: Catch-and-Release Fishing in California's Waterways

    Kickoff of White Sturgeon Season: Catch-and-Release Fishing in California's Waterways
    Oct 1 2025
    Hey there, folks. I'm Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in California. Today, October 1st, 2025, we're kicking off the white sturgeon sport fishing season, and it's all about catch-and-release in the ocean, San Francisco Bay, Delta, and more. Tide times today are looking good: first high tide at 10:55 AM and second low tide at 5:09 PM. Sunrise is at 7:01 AM, and sunset's at 6:48 PM. Weather's been calm, perfect for getting out on the water. Recently, we've seen some great catches offshore. The **Dolphin** AM caught 75 Rockfish, 42 Sculpin, and more. For bass, especially in shallower waters, white swim jigs and squarebill cranks are killing it. If you're looking for hot spots, Fisherman's Landing is always buzzing with activity. Try the waters around San Francisco Bay for a mix of species. Thanks for tuning in Don't forget to subscribe for more fishing updates.

  • "Rockfish, Tuna, and Calicos: California's Coastal Fishing Bonanza"

    "Rockfish, Tuna, and Calicos: California's Coastal Fishing Bonanza"
    Sep 28 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Sunday, September 28th, Pacific Ocean California fishing report. Sunrise hit at 6:59 a.m., sunset rolls in at 6:53 p.m. Tide-wise, we started off with a low at 3 a.m., high water peaked at 8:17 this morning, and the next low’s due at 2:28 this afternoon, so we expect that classic mid-morning bump in bite followed by another push just before dusk, which should line up perfectly for the evening fishermen, especially around the kelp beds and rocky structure. Weather across much of coastal California is classic fall—cool mornings in the mid-60s rising to low 70s later, skies partly cloudy, mild west breeze tapering down in the afternoon. Water surface temps near shore have been ranging from 66 to 70 degrees from Point Reyes south to San Diego. Up in the Channel Islands and around the Central Coast, there’s been lingering fog, but it tends to clear by midmorning and hasn’t slowed the action. Now for the fish: after almost two years off-limits, quillback rockfish are back on the harvest menu thanks to NOAA and California DFW, with healthy numbers showing in the counts. Anglers around Santa Cruz and Monterey are reporting solid limits on mixed rockfish, with a nice grade of vermilion, canary, and quillback in the sacks. The Farallon Islands and Point Reyes have both been hotspots for big lingcod—jumbo models over ten pounds landing regularly for boats targeting deep structure. If you want a shot at these, swimbaits in motor oil or root beer with a little scent, or old-school frozen squid dropper rigs, are producing the largest fish. Down south out of San Diego, Seaforth Sportfishing and Fisherman’s Landing both saw huge tuna numbers this week—Bluefin up to 210 pounds are still biting well on overnight and multi-day trips, especially around the Tanner and Cortes Banks. Many boats reported limits or near limits of both Bluefin and Yellowfin. Top baits have been flylined sardines for the big ones, but Colt Sniper jigs and Flat-Falls in blue/silver patterns are crushing fish deeper, especially on the swing after sundown. Inshore, Calico and Sand Bass have been very steady from Malibu down through the Orange County reefs, with wide-open sessions at times. Best producers: chartreuse 5” swim baits, live anchovies, and for the Calicos, a weedless brown/green jerkbait worked slow through the salad. Bonito are running strong around the bait balls off La Jolla and Oceanside, slamming Kastmasters and small feathered trolled jigs. Meanwhile, the kelp patties off Huntington and Dana are holding late-season Dorado—most small but with some solid 10-15 pounders in the mix, typically pounced on live sardines or flashy surface irons. If you’re heading out for pelagics, have a stickbait or popper ready for those breezing pods. Two reliable local hotspots right now: - **Point Vicente:** Big lingcod and mixed rockfish on the deeper stones at 150-200 feet. - **Tanner Bank:** Still primo for quality Bluefin if you can make the run and the This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
