  • Title: Fishing Report for LA: Trout Derbies, Pier Action, and Lobster Season Opens

    Title: Fishing Report for LA: Trout Derbies, Pier Action, and Lobster Season Opens
    Feb 8 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in and around Los Angeles. Today, February 8, 2025, promises to be an exciting day on the water, so let's dive into the details.

    First off, let's check the tides. According to the tide forecast, we have a high tide at 5:47 AM with a height of 5.85 feet, followed by a low tide at 1:22 PM with a height of -0.95 feet. The second high tide of the day will be at 8:10 PM, reaching 3.73 feet[2].

    The weather is looking pleasant, with a sunrise at 6:43 AM and a sunset at 5:31 PM. This time of year, the mornings can be a bit cool, so make sure to pack your layers.

    Now, let's talk about the fish activity. If you're heading to the lakes, the BKO Fishing Derby is happening today at Ming Lake, and both lakes have been stocked with over a thousand pounds of trout, including some tagged fish worth up to $1000. Anglers have been having excellent luck with Powerbait, mousetails, spinners, and jigs for trout. For bass, crankbaits, jerkbaits, jigs, and shad imitation plastics on drop shot have been effective. Bluegill are also active, particularly with wax and red worms[1].

    For those preferring pier fishing, several spots are worth mentioning. At the Oceanside Pier, fishing has been good for perch, barred and walleye surfperch, and croaker, with lugworms being the top bait for croaker. Sardines and herring are still available for Sabiki fishermen, though shark fishing has been slow. The outer end of the pier is still closed due to reconstruction, but the rest remains open[4].

    The Balboa Pier has seen slow fishing lately, but there's been a lot of bait around, including sardines and smelt. Fresh mussels have been the best bait for surfperch here. Keep an eye out for corbina, as they have been spotted in the area[4].

    If you're looking to catch some lobsters, the season is open, and you can find them particularly around the piers in Santa Barbara. However, lobstering has been more successful in areas like Ventura, where recent rains haven't deterred anglers from picking up some nice-sized lobsters[4].

    For gear, I recommend stopping by Tackle Shack USA in Sylmar. They have a wide selection of top-brand gear, live bait like worms, and knowledgeable staff to help you choose the right tackle for your needs[3].

    In summary, today is a great day to get out and fish, whether you're targeting trout in the lakes or a variety of species at the piers. Here are a couple of hot spots to consider:

    - **Ming Lake**: For trout, especially with the BKO Fishing Derby stocking the lakes heavily today.
    - **Oceanside Pier**: For perch, surfperch, and croaker, using lugworms and other baits mentioned.

    Remember to check the local regulations and ensure you have the necessary licenses and gear. Tight lines, and I hope you land some big ones today

  • Fishing LA: Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Your Next Angling Adventure

    Fishing LA: Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Your Next Angling Adventure
    Feb 7 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in and around Los Angeles. As of today, February 7, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip.

    ### Tidal Report
    First off, let's check the tides. For Los Angeles, today's tide times are as follows: the first high tide is at 4:43 AM with a height of 5.57 feet, the first low tide at 12:34 PM with a height of -0.54 feet, the second high tide at 7:34 PM with a height of 3.43 feet, and the second low tide at 11:26 PM with a height of 2.69 feet[2][5].

    ### Weather
    The weather is looking good, with clear skies and warm air temperatures ranging from 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Water temperatures are also favorable, hovering around 72 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit, making it an ideal day to be out on the water[1].

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 6:44 AM, and sunset will be at 5:30 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to cast your lines.

    ### Fish Activity
    Recently, the fishing scene around Los Angeles has been a bit mixed but still promising. For those targeting perch and croakers, it's been slow, but smelt have been active. However, if you're looking for more exciting catches, you might want to head out to some of the offshore spots.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is around the Coronado Islands. Although Yellowtail haven't made a grand appearance yet, the area is rich with anchovy and mackerel, which are good indicators that these prized fighters could show up anytime. Keep an eye out for surface action and monitor your sonar closely. Bass fishing has been slow, but patience can pay off here. You might also catch some flatfish around Imperial Beach, particularly near the Pipe and the Flats[1].

    Another spot worth mentioning is the Buoy #3 Area on your way to the Coronado Islands. Here, Whitefish are biting enthusiastically on a two-hook dropper loop rig with small hooks and strips of squid.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For the Coronado Islands and surrounding areas, using strips of squid or live bait like sardina and caballito can be very effective. If you're targeting bottom fish, jigs and live sardina are also good options. For those looking to catch smelt or other smaller fish, artificial lures like small jigs or spoons can work well.

    ### Recent Catches
    In the broader Baja region, which sometimes influences our local fishing due to migratory patterns, there have been some impressive catches. Yellowtail up to 20 pounds have been landed at spots like “Lobo” and the “50” spot near Ensenada. Grouper, Sheepshead, and Pargo are also being caught around Magdalena Bay using live shrimp[1].

    In summary, today looks like a great day to get out and fish around Los Angeles. With favorable weather and tides, and knowing the right spots and baits to use, you're set for a productive and enjoyable fishing trip. So grab your gear, head out to the Coronado Islands or Imperial Beach, and see what the day brings Tight lines

  • LA Fishing Forecast: Sculpin, Whitefish, and Sand Bass Biting Across the Region

    LA Fishing Forecast: Sculpin, Whitefish, and Sand Bass Biting Across the Region
    Feb 5 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in and around Los Angeles. As of today, February 5, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip.

    First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide charts, we have a high tide at 2:15 AM with a height of 1.59 meters (5.23 feet), followed by a low tide at 10:07 AM with a height of 0.19 meters (0.62 feet). The next high tide is at 4:47 PM with a height of 0.83 meters (2.72 feet), and the final low tide of the day is at 8:09 PM with a height of 0.73 meters (2.41 feet)[2].

    Sunrise today is at 6:46 AM, and sunset will be at 5:28 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recent reports indicate that sculpin, whitefish, and sand bass are actively biting in several areas. In San Pedro, the "Pursuit" out of 22nd Street Landing had a good haul with 80 sculpin, 13 blue perch, and 24 whitefish on their full-day trip[1].

    Over in Newport Beach, the "Western Pride" from Davey's Locker brought in 175 sculpin and 56 whitefish on their half-day trip. In Dana Point, the "Sum Fun" from Dana Wharf Sportfishing caught 2 sculpin, 71 whitefish, and released 7 sand bass[1].

    For those targeting sculpin and whitefish, artificial lures are a great choice. Soft plastic baits, especially those that mimic small crustaceans or baitfish, are highly effective. Crankbaits and jigs can also work well, especially if you're able to mimic the natural movement of the prey[4].

    If you're looking for live bait, Tackle Shack USA in Sylmar has a wide selection, including bloodworms, lugworms, and large nightcrawlers. Their knowledgeable staff can help you choose the right bait for your needs[3].

    As for hot spots, San Pedro is a great place to start. The waters around 22nd Street Landing have been producing good numbers of sculpin and whitefish. Another spot is Newport Beach, where the "Western Pride" has been finding plenty of sculpin.

    In Dana Point, the "Sum Fun" has been successful in catching whitefish and sand bass, making it another worthwhile location to check out.

    The weather has been relatively calm, which is ideal for fishing. However, always keep an eye on the weather forecast to ensure you're prepared for any changes.

    In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on the water. With favorable tides and active fish, you've got a good chance of landing some sculpin, whitefish, or even sand bass. Use the right lures or bait, and you'll be well on your way to a successful fishing trip in and around Los Angeles.

    Happy fishing, and tight lines
