  • Summary

  • As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene in the Pacific Ocean off California is looking promising. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

    **Weather and Tides:**
    Today, the weather is expected to be great with clear skies and mild temperatures. The tidal conditions are favorable, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM. These conditions should provide a good window for fishing.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:28 AM, and sunset will be at 4:48 PM, giving you ample daylight to get out on the water.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw excellent fishing conditions, particularly for yellowfin tuna and yellowtail. The Polaris Supreme, for instance, reported great yellowfin tuna action on their 3-day trip, catching tuna in the 40-90 pound range[4].

    **Catch Reports:**
    Several charter boats had successful trips. The Pacifica returned from a 2-day trip with 25 Bonito, 1 Halibut, 50 Sheephead, 96 Vermilion Rockfish, and 8 Yellowtail for 25 anglers[5]. The Condor also had a stellar day, bringing in 60 yellowfin tuna from 40-90 pounds[2].

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For yellowfin tuna, using live bait such as sardines or anchovies is highly effective. Jigs and lures like the Salas 7X or the Tady 4/0 have also been producing good results. For yellowtail, try using surface iron lures or fly-lined baits like mackerel or sardines.

    **Hot Spots:**
    Two hot spots to consider are the Coronado Islands and the areas around the local deep-water kelp beds. The Coronado Islands have been yielding good catches of yellowtail and rockfish, while the kelp beds are home to a variety of species including halibut and sheephead[4][5].

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day for fishing in Southern California's Pacific waters. Make sure to check the latest reports and adjust your strategy accordingly to maximize your catch.
