 Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for SoCal fishing, comin' at ya live from the LA coast on this fine April 25th, 2026, at 3 AM PDT. Skies are clearin' up after a mild night, with temps hoverin' around 55°F now, warmin' to a balmy 72°F by afternoon under mostly sunny skies—perfect for an early start, per the National Weather Service forecast. Sunrise hits at 6:07 AM, sunset at 7:37 PM, givin' us a solid 13+ hours of light.

Tides in Santa Monica Bay are lookin' prime: low at 4:12 AM (-0.2 ft), high at 10:28 AM (5.1 ft), then low again at 4:45 PM (1.8 ft), accordin' to FishingReminder charts. Fish are feedin' heavy durin' the incomin' tide mid-mornin'—that's your solunar peak too, with a waxin' crescent moon pushin' activity.

Action's heatin' up local-style. Recent reports from LA harbors and piers show largemouth bass slammin' in shallow bays like Marina del Rey, with anglers pullin' 3-7 pounders on crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, and soft plastic worms matchin' water clarity—think shad patterns. California sea bass, calico bass, and sand bass are stackin' limits off the kelp beds, hittin' 10-20 fish per boat. Halibut are on fire too, with 20+ pounders boated this week on live sardines or swimbaits. Sand dabs and calicos pilin' up for bottom guys, and even some yellowtail showin' early offshore.

Best lures right now? Drop-shot rigs with plastic worms or jigs for bass in under 5 feet near shore cover. For saltwater, try live anchovies or sardines on the hook—deadly for halibut and bass—or crankbaits trolled slow. Topwaters and wakebaits if you're creek-huntin' smallmouth up in the LA River tributaries.

Hot spots: Hit Paradise Cove for kelp paddy halibut at first light, or Long Beach's Alamitos Bay for bass on the flats—launch early, beat the crowds.

Water temps in the low 60s are sparklin' beds and pushin' spawns, so get out there!
