  • Summary

  • As of November 21, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene in California's Pacific Ocean:

    ### Tidal Report
    Today, the tides are looking favorable for fishing. The high tide is at 7:45 AM with a height of about 5.5 feet, and the low tide is at 2:15 PM with a height of around 0.2 feet. These tidal conditions should provide good movement and activity for the fish.

    ### Weather
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it a comfortable day on the water. Temperatures will be in the mid-60s, which is ideal for both anglers and fish.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:29 AM, and sunset will be at 4:48 PM, giving you a full day to get out and catch some fish.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw some excellent catches across various spots. In the Marina Del Rey area, the New Del Mar reported 4 Sand Bass, 120 Sculpin, 9 Sheephead, 2 Calico Bass, and 45 Whitefish on a half-day trip[1][3].

    At Dana Point, the Fury had a successful overnight trip, catching 32 Sheephead, 7 Yellowtail, 23 Calico Bass, 27 Whitefish, 100 Bonito, and 200 Rockfish[1][3].

    In Newport Beach, the Western Pride brought in 87 Rockfish on a half-day trip[1][3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For Rockfish and Lingcod, using squid or anchovies as bait is highly effective. For Sheephead and Whitefish, shrimp or crabs can work well. If you're targeting Yellowtail, try using sardines or small jigs.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Marina Del Rey**: The Spitfire and New Del Mar have been doing well here, catching a variety of fish including Rockfish, Sculpin, and Sheephead.
    - **Dana Point**: The Fury's overnight trip results indicate this is a hot spot for Yellowtail, Sheephead, and Calico Bass.

    Overall, it looks like it's going to be a great day for fishing in California's Pacific waters. Make sure to check the local regulations, especially since the Pacific halibut season has closed as of November 15, 2024[2]. Enjoy your time on the water
