Rockfish
If you're looking for consistent action, the rockfish grounds off Redondo Beach are a reliable choice. These bottom-dwelling species thrive in the rocky reefs and underwater structures that dot the coastline. Fishing is productive year-round, but the cooler months of fall and winter often see larger fish moving into shallower waters. Vertical jigging with metal jigs or using baited hooks on a dropper loop rig are effective techniques. A hot spot is the area around the Palos Verdes Peninsula, where deeper reefs hold a variety of rockfish species. Be mindful of depth and current when choosing your tackle. Also, pay attention to regulations as some rockfish species have specific size and bag limits. A helpful tip is to use a fish descender tool to release rockfish caught in deeper water, improving their chances of survival.
