Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 8:15 AM and a low tide at 2:45 PM, which should provide good conditions for both inshore and nearshore fishing.
### Fish Activity
Fishing in the Los Angeles area has been quite active lately. Yesterday, anglers reported a strong bite at the islands, particularly around the Channel Islands. The catch included a mix of bass, halibut, and even some impressive yellowtail.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Bass fishing has been excellent, with several limits caught. Halibut have also been hitting the deck, and there were reports of a few giant 30-pound yellowtail being landed. These larger fish are a testament to the health and abundance of the marine life in these waters.

For bass, using shad imitations, crankbaits, and jerkbaits have been highly effective. Topwater baits, especially magnum topwater baits, have also been successful over windswept points. For halibut and yellowtail, live bait such as anchovies and sardines are always a good choice, but artificial lures like spoons and in-line spinners have also been productive.
### Hot Spots
Two hot spots to consider are the Channel Islands and the areas around Long Beach. The islands are known for their rich marine life and have been producing some fantastic catches lately. Long Beach, particularly the jetty areas, has been good for both inshore and nearshore fishing, with bass and halibut being common catches.

16 NOV 2024 · As of November 16, 2024, the fishing scene in the Los Angeles area is mixed, given the less-than-ideal weather forecast. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
**Weather and Tides:**
The weekend weather forecast isn't promising, with winds expected to pick up, which could make conditions rough. However, for those willing to brave the elements, the tidal conditions might still offer some opportunities. Today's high tide is around 7:30 AM, and the low tide is at 1:30 PM, with sunrise at 6:24 AM and sunset at 4:49 PM.
**Fish Activity:**
Despite the challenging weather, fish activity has been decent in the recent days. Yesterday's reports from various landings in the Los Angeles area showed a variety of catches. At Marina Del Rey Sportfishing, boats like the New Del Mar and Spitfire brought in notable catches. The New Del Mar had 4 sand bass, 120 sculpin, 9 sheephead, 2 calico bass, and 45 whitefish, while the Spitfire caught 3 halibut, 34 sculpin, 14 sheephead, and 85 whitefish[2][5].

**Best Lures and Bait:**
For the current conditions, using lures that mimic the natural baitfish in the area can be effective. Jigs and plastics, especially those in white or brown colors, work well for catching sculpin and rockfish. Live or frozen squid is a good bait choice for targeting halibut and sheephead. For calico bass, try using small jigs or live bait like anchovies or sardines.
**Hot Spots:**
One of the hot spots right now is around the structures near Marina Del Rey, where boats have been catching a mix of sculpin, rockfish, and sheephead. Another area to consider is the kelp beds off Long Beach, which have been producing some nice calico bass and sand bass.
In summary, while the weather isn't ideal, the fish are still biting, and with the right gear and knowledge of the local hot spots, you can still have a productive day on the water. Just be prepared for the wind and rougher seas.
