Moving water is generally a requirement for inshore ocean fishing.
Whether it's generated from tidal flow, or our external
"California Current" it introduces oxygen and gets the feeding
cycle going.

Weather, rain? Fish sense barometric changes, that's why
bait fish hang out on the bottom during the winter months.

So, is it better to fish before or after a major weather change,
like a cold front? Sometimes it's great just before, sometimes
it's great just after. And sometimes it's dead.

I have found from fishing La Jolla for the past 10 years, that
fishing during favorable conditions produces better results
than not. It's no guarantee, but it's better than blindly going out.
