About Your Trip

This full-day, 12-hour trip is designed to make the most of the world-renowned fishing around Catalina Island and the Pacific Coast of California. Here, cold Pacific currents make this area a perfect environment for catching big fish, and you'll be able to hook up a number of species including Barracuda, Calico Bass, Halibut, Sheephead, Rockfish, Yellowtail, and more!

Captain Steve is an expert angler, and he'll put you right on top of some of the best fishing grounds in the state. You'll fish the bottom for Rockfish and Halibut, troll for Yellowtail, and drift for Bass and other species. Whatever you want to catch, Captain Steve is here to help you do it.

You'll get out there aboard a 42' Egg Harbor sportfisher, purpose-built to handle anything the Pacific can throw your way. Originally built in 1989, she's been equipped with twin Caterpillar engines with a combined 750 HP. Electronics include radar, GPS, full radio communications, and more. Plus, she has outriggers for trolling, a restroom, and way more.

Everything is provided for you, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Just bring some sunscreen and your California Fishing Licenses and you'll be good to go!

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
