STRUCTURE
Drop Off
Outer Exposed

Laguna Point is an outer-exposed rocky drop-off off Ventura, California, where the bottom falls away through depths of 260 to 660 feet. The structure holds a broad mix of species across the year: California Halibut and Barred Sand Bass peak from March through August, White Seabass runs from February into July, and Yellowtail moves through from June to September, with California Sheephead active July through September. Drift fishing over the rock with live anchovies, sardines, or squid produces halibut and sand bass along the slope, while live squid, sardines, and mackerel fished on the drop take White Seabass and Yellowtail. Sheephead respond to bait fishing with live shrimp, market shrimp, squid, or mussels worked close to the rock, and jigging with metal or leadhead jigs covers the deeper contours. Kelp Bass and Calico Bass hold on the shallower structure here, taking live bait and plastics such as swimbaits and grubs during their spring and summer windows.
