A new LA fishing report every week. We cover what the county's sportfishing landings are catching, the water temperature and tides, and what CDFW is stocking in local lakes. Every number links back to its source.
· covers October 22–28, 2026
Local boats leaned on calico bass, sand bass, ocean whitefish and rockfish as the tuna numbers dropped off. Santa Monica Bay water held between 70.9°F and 73.2°F, and CDFW's schedule now lists the first LA County trout plants of the season for the week of November 1–7.

Read the October 19, 2026 report →Each week we read the public dock totals that Los Angeles County landings post to SportfishingReport.com. That covers Redondo Beach Sportfishing, Marina Del Rey Sportfishing, 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro, and Long Beach Sportfishing and Pierpoint Landing in Long Beach. We add NOAA water temperature and tide data and the CDFW Fish Planting Schedule. Then we write a plain-language summary of what it means for boat, pier and lake anglers.
We quote numbers as reported, with dates, and link every source. We don't copy anglers' social media posts or reviews, and we never invent catches. If you have a correction, or a public report we should include, email hello@fishinla.com.
