Coho Salmon
While not a typical SoCal target, persistent rumors and occasional sightings suggest Coho Salmon may stray into the waters near Seal Beach. If you're targeting them, focus your efforts where the San Gabriel River meets the ocean, especially after periods of heavy rain that might draw them in. Winter is your best bet, mirroring the Coho run further north. Given the warmer water temperatures compared to their native range, try fishing deeper, where the water is cooler. Use downriggers or weighted lines to get your lures or bait down. A local tip: check the fishing reports for the Long Beach area, as any Coho sightings there might indicate they're moving closer to Seal Beach. Also, be sure to check current California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations, as Coho are a protected species, and any fishing for them would likely be catch-and-release only.
