あらすじ・解説
As of October 31, 2024, the fishing scene in the Los Angeles area is looking promising, despite the autumn chill starting to set in.
### Weather and Tides
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a light breeze from the west at about 4-5 knots. The seas are calm, making it an ideal day for venturing out. Sunrise was at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:15 AM and a low tide at 3:15 PM.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a mix of fish activity across various spots. In the inshore waters, halibut fishing has been excellent, with catches up to 28 pounds reported. There have also been sightings of sharks, including leopard sharks up to 46 pounds, and guitar fish.
Offshore, boats have been targeting tuna and other pelagic species. Bluefin tuna have been active, particularly in the full-day and overnight ranges, with warm water pockets moving up from the south. Yellowfin tuna and dorado are also being caught in these areas.
### Catch Reports
Boats operating out of Los Angeles and Long Beach ports reported a variety of catches. The Western Pride, for example, caught 76 rockfish, 5 whitefish, 32 sculpin, and 15 sand dabs on their morning half-day trip. The Freelance had a full-day trip with 217 bonito, 1 whitefish, and 3 calico bass.
### Best Lures and Bait
For inshore fishing, especially for halibut and calico bass, using brighter color lures has been effective. Live bait such as anchovies and sardines are also working well. For offshore fishing, particularly for tuna, lures that mimic baitfish and squid are recommended. Trolling with jigs and using live bait like mackerel or sardines can also yield good results.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is the area around the 181 and 289 banks, where dolphins and whales have been spotted, indicating good marine life activity. Another spot is near Catalina Island, where marlin and yellowtail have been reported. The waters between Clemente Island and the mainland are also worth exploring for bluefin and yellowfin tuna.
Overall, it's a great day to get out on the water, with a variety of fish species active and favorable weather conditions.
