Avalon Anglers
Avalon Anglers
Make some memories in Avalon and go fishing with Avalon Anglers. Captain Martin has over 20 years of experience fishing these waters.
Halibut, Yellowtail Amberjack, White Seabass, Rockfish, Tuna, Yellowfin Mahi Mahi, and more are in the cards if you come at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. You're free to take home any legal fish you catch. The captain will clean and filet your catch so that you can enjoy it later.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are always a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach! There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
You'll be casting lines from a 24' Center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. It's always wise to bring sunglasses and sunblock (non-spray).

Theodore SchmidtRepeat angler5.0VerifiedExcellent captain and guide
3 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on March 15, 2025 • 3 adultsIt was a pleasure fishing with Martin. He was an excellent captain and guide.
Josh RoyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFun day
6 Hour Nearshore Trip on April 7, 2024 • 3 adultsHad a lot of fun and got to see the beautiful island as we fished around it. Really no regrets. We caught about 30 fish or more.

4 Hour Trip on May 25, 2024 • 6 adultsWe caught a lot, about 15 fish in a 4 hour trip. We all had fun , martin was very friendly!

3 Hour Trip on July 2, 2023 • 2 adults20 to 30 fish caught. Easy to fish.
Rex Sabio5.0VerifiedGreat Day on the Water
3 Hour Trip on August 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a fantastic time on our fishing charter with Captain Martin. Our trip was delayed by two hours due to an unforeseen circumstance, but he was sincerely apologetic and made up for it by extending our time on the water. We started out 2 to 3 miles offshore targeting kelp paddies. After checking three paddies with no luck, Martin shifted gears and brought us closer to the island shore to one of his go-to spots for Calico bass. That move paid off—my 10- and 12-year-old sons did most of the fishing (with my wife and me helping out) and caught nearly a dozen fish each! Most were too small and safely released, but they both landed a keeper at least 14 inches long. On the way back into Avalon, Martin even tried some trolling to target larger fish. Throughout the trip, Capt. Martin was friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable about the local waters, and super helpful with setting up gear, baiting lines, and unhooking fish. Before we debarked, he cleaned and filleted our keepers so we could bring them to a local restaurant. Tip for anglers bringing their catch to local spots: We first tried the Lobster Trap based on recommendations, but they require the skin to be completely off. Bluewater Avalon said they no longer cook customer-caught fish, but they pointed us to El Galleon down the street. El Galleon happily accepted our catch and turned it into two amazing fish-and-chips lunches for the boys. Both of my sons had an absolute blast and are already asking to go boat fishing again. Highly recommend Capt. Martin and Avalon Anglers!

A great experience!
4 Hour Trip on April 6, 2024 • 5 adultsCaptain Martin was great!! There were 5 of us who have never gone fishing before and Captain Martin was a great instructor in helping us throughout the trip. We ended up catching 8 fishes and he cleaned and refitted them for us to take home. He kept taking us to different locations around the island to catch fish. In addition, our ferry to Catalina Island was canceled last minute due to weather conditions and we weren't going to make our 8am time. Captain Martin was able to accommodate a last minute reschedule to 1pm with no problems. This was our first time fishing and would do it again!

Paula Loftus5.0VerifiedGreat Family Fishing❣️
3 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on July 22, 2024 • 6 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Martin was professional and friendly. We took our 3 Grandsons and our Adult daughter on their first deep sea fishing off Catalina. The boat ride was a 10+ and then the Captain assisted all of us with fishing reels and baiting the hooks! We caught over 20 fish and took 3 legal size home for dinner. We all had a great time ages 4 to 61! Thank you again Captain Martin 🎣
