  • Summary

  • As of November 3, 2024, the Pacific Ocean off California's coastline is offering some excellent fishing opportunities. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect today:

    **Tidal Report:**
    The tides are looking favorable, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at about 4:30 PM. These tidal shifts often trigger fish activity, so be prepared to capitalize on these periods.

    **Weather:**
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with mild winds, making for a comfortable day on the water. Temperatures will be in the mid-60s, with wave conditions relatively calm.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:31 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM, giving you a full day to take advantage of the fishing conditions.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw a lot of action, particularly with yellowfin tuna and rockfish. The 90' Condor reported catching 74 yellowfin tuna and 3 bluefin tuna in the 40-80 pound range on their 1.5-day trip.

    **Types and Amounts of Fish Caught:**
    Yellowfin tuna were abundant, with several boats reporting catches in the 40-80 pound range. Bluefin tuna were also caught, though in smaller numbers. Rockfish and some quality tuna were also reported by various charters.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For tuna, using live bait such as sardines or anchovies has been highly effective. Jigs and lures that mimic these baits are also working well. For rockfish, squid and shrimp are good choices.

    **Hot Spots:**
    One of the hot spots right now is the area around the islands, particularly Anacapa Island, where boats have been reporting good catches of yellowfin and bluefin tuna. Another spot is the coastal areas where the beach yellows have been active.

    **Additional Notes:**
    The recreational fishery for Pacific halibut is still open until November 15, 2024, or until the quota is reached, with a daily bag limit of one fish and no minimum size limit.

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day for fishing off the California coast. Make sure to check the latest regulations and any health advisories before you head out.
