   Early Summer LA Fishing: Perch, Bass, and Bonito on the Rise

   This is Artificial Lure with your Los Angeles fishing report. We’ve got a classic early-summer setup along the LA coast. Marine layer in the morning burning off to sunny skies, light onshore breeze building this afternoon, and temps along the beaches in the upper 60s to low 70s. Inland lakes will push mid‑80s by mid‑day, so plan your freshwater missions early or late. Sunrise is right around 5:40 a.m., with sunset close to 8:10 p.m., giving you a long, workable window. The usual mixed semi‑diurnal tides mean a higher morning tide and a dropping tide through late morning into early afternoon, then a push again toward evening. Inshore, surf fishing from Malibu down through Dockweiler has been solid. Anglers are picking up barred surfperch, yellowfin croaker, and some chunky spotfin near river mouths and structure. Sand crabs are the MVP bait right now, with bloodworms and lugworms close behind. For artificials, 2–3 inch motor oil or camo grubs on a Carolina rig are getting bit, especially on the first hour of the incoming. Light line and long casts are key with the clear water. Around the LA breakwall and nearshore stones off Palos Verdes, calico bass and sand bass are waking up. Plastics in brown, red flake, and baitfish colors fished on 1/2–1 oz leadheads are producing, and the night bite on the squid grounds is kicking out a mix of bass and some legal halibut. Live sardines, when you can get them from the barge or landing receivers, are still top tier for quality fish. Offshore and outer banks within range of the local fleet have seen regular counts of bonito, barracuda, and school‑size yellowtail on the kelp lines, with a few early-season bluefin spotted farther out. Surface iron in mint or blue/white and flashy 1–2 oz colt snipers are the go‑tos. Fly‑lined sardines on 20–30 lb fluorocarbon are getting the better grades when they pop up on breezers or sonar marks. Local freshwater is worth a look too. Castaic and Pyramid are seeing steady action on largemouth and smallmouth at first light on topwater—walking baits, poppers, and small whopper ploppers—then transitioning to finesse worms and dropshots once the sun gets high. Panfish are stacked tight to docks and shaded structure; mini jigs tipped with a waxworm will keep the rod bent for kids and casual anglers. Couple of local hotspots to circle today: 1. Santa Monica Bay surf, especially near the Venice Pier and north toward Will Rogers, for perch and croaker on sand crabs at first light and the evening push. 2. Palos Verdes Peninsula, working the kelp edges and boiler rocks for calico bass on swimbaits and leadhead/strip combos, with a shot at a halibut on slow‑rolled plastics over sand pockets. Focus on the tide changes, keep an eye on the wind line creeping in by early afternoon, and remember that the best window is usually that gray light to mid‑morning, then again the last couple hours before sunset.

   LA Coastal Fishing Report: Clear Water, Moderate Swells, Prime Tide Windows Today

   Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Los Angeles coastal fishing report. Marine layer’s hanging in this morning along the LA coast with light onshore breeze, cool low 60s early, pushing into the low 70s on the sand this afternoon. According to the National Weather Service discussion, winds stay mostly under 10–15 knots nearshore with a small west swell, generally 2–3 feet, maybe a touch more on open beaches by midday. That means very workable conditions for both surf casters and boat anglers. Tides today are running a moderate swing, with a pre‑dawn high dropping to a late‑morning low, then building again into a solid afternoon high. Pulled from NOAA’s LA area tables, that gives you classic structure windows: outgoing tide at first light and a nice push later for the evening bite. Work those tide changes; that’s when things have been turning on. Sunrise is just after 5:40 a.m. with sunset a little after 8 p.m., so you’ve got a long light window. Low light around dawn has been key for finicky inshore species, especially in the clear water we’ve had most of this week. Recent coastal catches up and down the Santa Monica Bay and South Bay have been steady rather than spectacular. Local landings and pier chatter report mixed bags of **barred surfperch**, **yellowfin croaker**, **spotfin croaker**, **walleye surfperch**, and the odd **corbina** sliding into the shallows. South toward Palos Verdes and Long Beach breakwalls, boats and kayakers are picking away at **calico bass**, **sand bass**, **sheepshead**, and some **short halibut** with a few legals in the mix. Offshore a bit, the sportboats running out of San Pedro and Marina del Rey have been seeing good counts of **rockfish**, **whitefish**, and **sculpin**, with a slow pick on **barracuda** when the schools push in. On bait, the consistent producers in the surf have been **sand crabs**, lugworms, and fresh mussel. If you can find small, soft shell sand crabs, thread two or three on a size 4–6 hook and fish them on a light Carolina rig right in the first and second trough. For croaker and perch, a 6–10 lb fluorocarbon leader really helps; the water’s clear and they’re line shy. Artificial‑wise, this week has leaned toward natural presentations. In the surf, **1/2–3/4 oz Kastmasters** in chrome or chrome/blue, **3-inch swimbaits** in smelt or anchovy colors on 1/4 oz heads, and small **Gulp sandworms** in camo or blood red have all been getting bent. Around structure and the kelp edges, anglers are doing well on **5-inch weedless swimbaits**, brown/back or sardine patterns, and **leadhead plus squid strip** combos for bass and rockfish. If you’re chasing halibut along the harbor mouths and sandy points, slow‑rolling a **3–4 inch paddle tail** in baitfish patterns tight to the bottom has been the ticket. Fish activity has been best in two windows: that gray‑light dawn period through about 8 a.m., and then again on the afternoon high, especially if the wind doesn’t blow the surface to froth. Midday has been scratchy unless you’re dropping deeper for rockfish. A couple of local hot spots to circle: • **Dockweiler to El Segundo stretch**: That long, gently sloping beach has been putting out quality barred surfperch and some chunky yellowfin croaker on sand crabs and Gulp sandworms fished in the inside trough. Look for bird activity and slightly darker seams of water; that’s your deeper cut. • **Palos Verdes Peninsula area**: Both from kayak and private boat, working the kelp edges and rocky pockets with swimbaits and whole squid has produced solid calico bass and a few halibut. Keep a heavier setup handy; there have been sheepshead hanging tight to the hard structure. If you’re limited to the piers, Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach piers have seen a mix of mackerel, jacksmelt, perch, and the occasional legal halibut on live bait rigged on sliding setups. Travel light, fish smart around those tide swings, and scale down your gear if the bite seems off — lighter line and smaller hooks have been making all the difference in this clear, calm stretch.

   LA Coastal Bite: Bass, Halibut, and Moving Water This Afternoon

   Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Los Angeles coastal fishing report. MarineWeather and NOAA show a weak morning high followed by a mid‑day drop and a modest afternoon push, so expect the better bites to line up with that late‑morning to afternoon moving water. Light onshore breeze building to 10–15 knots, typical June marine layer burning off late morning with highs in the 70s along the beach. Time and Date reports sunrise around 5:42 a.m. and sunset near 8:08 p.m., so you’ve got long low‑light windows to work with. Water temps along the Santa Monica Bay buoy line are riding in the low to mid‑60s, just warm enough that the summer life is creeping in but not full throttle yet. Local shop chatter around Redondo and Marina del Rey is that bass and halibut are doing the heavy lifting right now, with the offshore game still ramping. Inshore, pier and surf anglers from Malibu down through Dockweiler are seeing a steady pick on barred surfperch, yellowfin croaker, corbina, and the occasional legal halibut. Best numbers have been on Carolina‑rigged sand crabs and lugworms, with a fair number of fish coming on 2‑inch motor‑oil grubs and small swimbaits slow‑rolled just outside the first trough. Reports out of the Hermosa and Manhattan Beach piers mention several halibut in the 20–24 inch class this week, plus lots of short flatties keeping rods bent. Inside Marina del Rey and King Harbor, spotted bay bass and sand bass have been biting around rock walls and harbor mouths on the incoming. Local skippers are talking about half‑day trips bringing back mixed bags of rockfish, whitefish, a few sculpin, and a sprinkle of legal calico. Most of those are falling for squid strips on double‑dropper loops in 150–250 feet, with leadheads and swimbaits getting the bass higher in the column. Offshore and just outside the bay, private boaters working paddies and temperature breaks are marking bait, birds, and a few early‑season yellowtail, but landings haven’t reported big counts yet. It’s more of a “one‑here, one‑there” game for the guys who are willing to burn fuel and hunt. For lures, this is prime time for **3–4 inch swimbaits** in sardine, smelt, and anchovy patterns on 3/8 to 1/2‑ounce heads for bass and halibut along the beaches and harbor mouths. A **Krocodile** or small **Castmaster** is money when the wind comes up and fish push bait to the surface. In the surf, keep it simple: sand crabs, mussel, and lugworms for croaker and corbina, and switch to a white or smelt‑colored jerk shad on a light jighead if you’re hunting halibut. If you’re bank‑bound, two hot spots to circle today: 1. **Dockweiler State Beach:** Long stretches of sand with defined bars and troughs. Fish the first and second trough at first light with sand crabs for corbina and perch, then drag swimbaits for halibut as the sun gets higher and the tide starts moving. 2. **Marina del Rey North Jetty and harbor mouth:** Work the rocks with swimbaits, small hardbaits, and live bait if you can get it. Bass, halibut, and the odd sheephead hang tight to that structure. Time it with the incoming tide for your best shot. Boat guys, consider sliding just outside Palos Verdes to pick at rockfish and whitefish in 180–220 feet with squid on droppers, then move shallow for bass on swimbaits and plastics as the afternoon breeze kicks up. That’s your Los Angeles fishing rundown from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a bite.
