Bowline Sportfishing is located in San Pedro CA and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. Come out and enjoy a wonderful day of fishing in Southern California with Capt. Justin Bottrell. He offers multiple different types of fishing trips to best suit your needs.

Capt. Justin will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 6 to 12-hour trips, mainly fishing for Yellowtail Amberjack, Tuna, Seabass, Calico Bass, Halibut, and Rockfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, kite fishing, popping, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a beautiful 45’ Sportfisher boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. The vessel has a full bathroom, updated electronics, fishing rod holders, a large bait tank, and much more.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. Included in your trip are water and snacks. You are more than welcome to bring your own food and drinks and alcohol if you’d like.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Bowline Sportfishing.
