Artificial Lure here with your Los Angeles fishing report for Tuesday, October 28, 2025. Weather’s shaping up mild with a light offshore breeze and a little haze, typical for late October in LA. Sunrise hit at 7:08am; expect sunset around 6:03pm, so there’s a solid window for both early risers and those making evening sessions. Temperatures are hovering in the mid-60s this morning—bring a sweater for the dawn bite. Tides are in your favor. Long Beach and the Port of LA are seeing a moderate high tide at about 1:20pm, topping out just over 4.4 feet, and a low tide at 10:26pm at 0.7 feet. That midday push will get bait moving and fire up predatory fish, so plan your trip accordingly. Fishing action in the area’s been hot, with boats out of 22nd Street Landing reporting standout counts. Freedom, Pride, Native Sun, and Pursuit all filled their decks on recent runs, stacking up bluefin tuna, whitefish, rockfish, calico bass, bonito, yellowtail, sheephead, perch, and even a couple halibut. Just in the last few days, overnight and full day trips have come back with boat limits of bluefin by mid-morning, especially during these stable weather patterns. According to fish counts compiled by 976-TUNA, just yesterday LA boats brought in 473 bluefin tuna, 286 yellowtail, and strong catches of rockfish and bass. For those fishing from piers or the surf, Cabrillo Beach and the San Pedro jetties are reliable, especially around the incoming tide. Calico bass and sand bass are plentiful around structure, with bonus sheephead mixed in. White Point Beach is another shore spot worth a go, especially for perch and halibut during the twilight hours. Inside the harbors—Cabrillo Marina, and Port of LA Cruise Terminal—expect croaker, spotted bay bass, and the occasional legal flattie. Best lures this week have been hardbaits like Megabass jerkbaits and Lucky Craft pointers for bass, along with plastics on leadheads—think MC Swimbaits and Big Hammer paddletails—for calico, sand bass, and halibut. For tuna, anglers offshore are scoring big on flat-fall jigs and poppers during breaking fish. Bait-wise, fresh-cut squid and live sardines reign supreme at the landings and piers. For rockfish, dropper-loop setups with strips of squid, anchovy, or Gulp! grubs do the trick. Hot spots you shouldn’t miss: - **San Pedro Municipal Pier and Cabrillo Marina** – great mixed bag catches and easy access. - **22nd Street Landing boat trips** – bluefin, yellowtail, and rockfish are stacked up offshore. - **White Point Beach** – solid for surf perch, bass, and an occasional legal halibut. Rockfish and bass grounds have opened up a bit thanks to regulatory changes by the California Fish and Game Commission this season, so get after those deeper reefs and stones while the weather holds. Stay dialed in, keep your rigs versatile, and remember local rules on limits and protected species. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for the latest on SoCal’s fishing scene.
