Rockfish
Marina del Rey offers excellent opportunities to target rockfish, thanks to its proximity to productive reefs and structure just offshore. These fish thrive in the cooler waters, making fall and winter prime times to fish, though you can find them year-round. Success hinges on locating the baitfish schools they feed on, so pay attention to your sonar. A key local tip is to check the current charts before heading out; rockfish often congregate on the up-current side of structure. Also, the breakwall can provide surprisingly good access for shore anglers targeting rockfish with jigs or bait. Keep in mind that water temperatures can fluctuate quickly, so be prepared to adjust your depth and presentation accordingly. Locally, the rockfish population is diverse, with species like Bocaccio and Vermilion providing exciting challenges.
