Long Beach
Long Beach sits where the San Gabriel River meets the Pacific, offering a mix of saltwater fishing that ranges from the breakwater to open ocean grounds. The harbor holds calico bass, halibut, and corbina in shallower zones, while deeper waters beyond the breakwater hold yellowtail, barracuda, and white seabass depending on the season. Pier fishing, boat access, and shore spots each have their own rhythm and target species.
