Dan Hernandez Fishing Adventures

If you’re going to cast a line in Long Beach, look no further than Dan Hernandez Fishing Adventures. Your guide for the day is Captain Dan Hernandez, which means you’ll tap into years of angling experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Tuna, Yellowtail, Dorado, Rockfish, Calico Bass, Lingcod, White Seabass, Halibut, and whatever else is biting. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!

You’ll be casting lines from our 31’ Tiara Yatch that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with downriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is also available. 

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It’s customary to tip the Mate 15–20% to show your appreciation. You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Families making a day of it will be glad that kids are welcome aboard! Child-sized life vests are available, or you can bring your own. You can’t go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Dan Hernandez Fishing Adventures will make it easy for you to go fishing in Long Beach. So, how about booking that trip?
