Good morning, this is **Artificial Lure** with your Pacific Ocean, California fishing report for today. Around the coast, the bite is lining up best with the early tide swing and the first light window, so if you’re chasing fish, get there before the sun gets high. For the **tides**, the most productive windows today are typically the incoming tide and the first part of the outgoing tide along jetties, harbor mouths, and rock structure. Without a live tide table in hand, I’d still key on moving water over slack water, because that’s when bait gets pushed and predators get active. For the **weather**, late June along coastal California usually means a marine layer, cool mornings, light to moderate onshore wind, and improving visibility by midday. If the wind stays down, expect better surface action near shore and around protected points. **Sunrise and sunset** matter today: first light is your best shot, and the evening low-light bite should be strong too. Plan your topwater and fast-moving presentations around those windows, then slow it down if the sun gets bright. For **recent fish activity**, the coast has been producing the usual mix this time of year: **calico bass**, **sand bass**, **rockfish**, **croaker**, **halibut**, and an occasional **yellowtail** where warmer water and bait are present. In many stretches, the most consistent action has been smaller school fish and rock structure species, with quality fish showing where bait stacks up and current runs hard. Best **lures** right now are hard to beat: - **Swimbaits** in white, sardine, or anchovy patterns - **Surface irons** for covering water on boils and current breaks - **Small jerkbaits** and **paddletails** for halibut and bass - **Jigs** fished near bottom for rockfish and deeper structure Best **bait** is simple and effective: - **Live sardines** if you can get them - **Anchovies** for drifting and bait soaking - **Squid** for rockfish and bottom fish - **Sand crabs** for surf perch and corbina on the beach If I were working the coast today, I’d start at a **harbor entrance or jetty mouth** at gray light, then slide to a **kelp edge or rocky point** as the sun climbs. Two hot spots to keep on the radar are **Monterey Bay rock structure** for mixed inshore action and **the Point Loma/La Jolla stretch** for bass, yellowtail chances, and bait-rich water. Local take: stay mobile, match the hatch, and don’t waste the slack tide. If you see birds working, bait flicking, or boils on the surface, cast immediately and stay ready for a fast bite.
