Crisp Winter Fishing on the Pacific with Lures, Tides, and Hotspots from NorCal to SoCal
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for Pacific Ocean angling from NorCal to SoCal. It's a crisp winter morning out here on December 21st, 2025, with sunrise at 7:19 AM and sunset around 4:48 PM per Tide-Forecast.com. Tides today show low at 2:50 AM hitting 2.49 feet in San Diego, high of 6.44 feet at 9:11 AM, and expect incoming action building toward the 5:13 PM high of 0.26 feet up north—perfect for bottom dwellers.
Weather's cooperative: light winds shifting southeast, seas 6-8 feet per Santa Barbara Surf Report, so bundle up but get out there. Fish are chewing hard after yesterday's hauls from SoCalFishReports.com—boats like Long Beach's Eldorado slammed 350 Rockfish, 70 Sheephead, and Lingcod on overnight runs; Marina del Rey's New Del Mar bagged 58 Sand Bass, 47 Calico Bass, 33 Sheephead; Dana Pride limited on 60 Bonito; and up north, Avila's Flying Fish pulled 26 Lingcod, Halibut to 12 pounds, plus Rockcod stacks. 976-TUNA logs 1557 Rockfish and 492 Bonito across 19 SoCal trips Friday—Rockfish, Sheephead, Lingcod, Sand Bass, Calico Bass, Whitefish, and Sculpin dominating limits. Even a monster 10.25-pound Canary Rockfish off Albion per The Independent smashed state records.
Action's hot on rockfish piles and kelp edges—fish the incoming tide with heavy current. Best lures: drop-shot rigs with bright plastics or jigs for rockfish and lingcod; iron yo-yos or surface poppers for bonito frenzy. Live sardines or anchovies on sabikis crush 'em all, or sculpin heads for sheephead. Field & Stream swears by big jigs and swimming baits this season.
Hit these hot spots: Pecho Rock near Avila for limits of Lingcod and Cabezon, or Long Beach islands freelancing for Sheephead and Rockfish blowouts. Rig up, stay safe, and tight lines!
