Los Angeles has a fish with your name on it, so let Strategic Fishing help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Steve knows them forwards and back.
Top targets include Calico Bass, Sand Bass, Scorpionfish, Halibut, California Sheephead, Pacific Barracuda, Bonito, Ray, Crab, and more with any luck. During the trip you might be fly lining bait, casting lures, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Steve is happy to have kids aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
You'll be casting lines from a 20' Angler 204FX Center console that holds up to 3 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Steve has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait may be included, depending on your trip type.
Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's never a bad idea to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses.

We have been fishing all around the world and this trip was one of our favorite. It is great for a short trip to catch multiple species. I highly recommend fishing with Steve. 10/10
Thanks for the review Dan. I’m glad you and Arianna had a good time. You guys made it look easy! Good luck on your next fishing adventure!
My dad and I booked a morning trip and Steve knew all the good spots, even though the bass werent biting we caught plenty of rock fish and a few other kinds. It was a wonderful time and would highly reccomend booking with him.
We had an excellent half day onshore trip with Steven. He worked hard to put us on calicos and sand bass, kid friendly and knowledgeable of the local waters. Highly recommended trip, John
We had a great time fishing with Steve! I get motion sickness easily so we fished in the harbor and was catching fish left and right. Steve was super nice and informative with everything. Would be great to book again sometime!
Great fishing experience! We will definitely be booking another trip!

Your captain
Capt. Steve is a SoCal native with a lifetime of fishing experience both inshore and offshore.

When he is not guiding clients, he is either fishing with family and friends, or talking fishing as a marketing manager for one of the largest tackle manufacturers in Southern California!
